Memories were made

What a beautiful place to stay. The host was so accommodating and generous. My husband, our dog and I created lifetime memories and I couldn’t be more grateful. We will be back to explore more of the property, hike the trails and star gaze at this gorgeous mountain get away. Thank you so much Robert!

Trail riding in the Wet Mountain Valley

We brought our two mules to enjoy the spectacular trails in the Wet Mountain Valley. We were more concerned about the accommodations for our animals than those for ourselves. No reason for concern though! Bob described both options well and made sure our animals had multiple suitable options. Everything was perfect—the guest house, the barn, the public trails, and even riding off the property on our “rest” day. Bob was a helpful and informative host. We will be back for sure.
