Comfortable and convenient.
Our family of four enjoyed this property for our holiday ski vacation at Powderhorn. It had everything that we needed. The 360 degree glass fireplace was a fun feature. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed.

Wonderful stay amongst the aspens
We stayed at this beautiful home nestled in the aspens. The kitchen was well stocked and so was the firewood!

Quiant, quiet cabin. Many places to enjoy the outside. From rocker on this porch to patio set on deck to table, chairs and grill on front deck. Very nice.

Quiet stay in the Grand Mesa National Forest
Perfect getaway for our family. We had a great time here exploring the area. It is quite a ways away from "everything" but after a grocery run to Grand Junction, we were set for the week! If you visit during the summer, be sure to bring bug spray, but that goes for anywhere in the forest.

Tranquil Retreat With Gorgeous Views
Enjoy breathtaking views from every window of this darling house. The center-room fireplace and spiral stairs give it a relaxed 70’s vibe. The upgrades are modest and the simplicity is relaxing. Quiet street that is close to Powderhorn ski mountain. We will definitely stay here again!
