We loved the property. It was clean and comfortable. Perfect for a stop over on our long journey home. We got to relax and watch Sunday Night Football on the big screen. Wish we could’ve spent a few more nights there. It was clean and had everything we needed, and communication with the host was excellent. Thank you so much, Alie!

We loved it here! Even though we stayed for just one night, it was the perfect “mid-point” to rest on our trip from IL to CO. It was quiet so we slept great! My son loved being able to look out the window and see cows!! This will definitely be the number one pick on our next trip to the Rocky Mountains.

This little apartment was everything it was advertised to be with the happy addition of a sweet farm dog who visited often and demanded belly rubs. The apartment was comfortable and easily accessible. Use the directions link provided as entering the address into the nav system provided interesting results. It had everything we needed to be comfortable. The space was very clean and the air conditioning was awesome. When we were driving to the property we were a bit concerned about how close it was to I-80 but once we pulled in we were relieved to find out there was almost no highway noise. Overall wonderful experience. We have family in the area and we will be back.
