Vacation

This house was incredible! It fit 7 of us comfortably. The creek was beautiful and our favorite thing was sitting outside drinking coffee. Communication with the owner was great. She was happy to answer any questions we had. We would definitely book here again. We didn't want to leave.

Great house for our family!

Our three littles loved all of the bed options, the snacks provided & games available to play! They really loved playing in the backyard near the creek & watching squirrels & deer visit each morning. It is an ideal, quiet location - we were able to walk to the river for fishing and just a short drive to the lake for a pontoon rental. Very clean & well equipped to utilize as a home base for all the fun exploring! Maureen was a great host who was super communicative from the time of booking to check out.

Family Reunion

The property was exactly as shown. It had all the amenities needed. Our grandchildren enjoyed the creek behind the house panning for fools gold. Maureen was absolutely professional and called several times to be sure all was good. We had a family reunion so we were very busy but wish we had more time to just chill at the house, it was so peaceful. We did some hiking at San Juan national park, whitewater rafting on the Animas, took the train to Silverton and went to Foxfire winery for an outside concert. We flew in to Montrose so glad we did, the scenery and Hot Springs were amazing. We would 100 percent recommend and hope to stay there again. The Hughes Florida, June 2023
