Home away from Home!

Such a beautiful location and the home was perfect for our family. It was cozy yet plenty big enough for our family of 6. The fireplace was amazing and kept us very warm after a full day of skiing. We would highly recommend staying there and hope to stay again soon. I’m sure the summer months are beautiful with the river just footsteps away!

Needs some TLC!

No windows worked. Gave us the wrong door code to get in. Outside was very poor and not taken care of. Cobwebs in abundance on exterior logs and lights. Furniture torn and worn. Weeds so tall couldn’t see the river. Everything needs to be cut back away from house. It was very quiet and peaceful but property is run down. Master was very large and and clean but needed a King Bed.

We appreciate your feedback. Since this review we have begun staining the property, we did lots of landscaping and cleaned all the cobwebs. Thank you.

Great location BUT………

Super cute and wonderful house and even better location with the river right behind, so very relaxing. However, it lacks care for the property and for those who rent there. No thought or care is given which is sad. We spend our money to stay and we chose YOU. That should mean something and not be taken for granted. Yes this is the mountains but how hard would it be to take a broom and sweep off the cobwebs from the deck the day before to make it presentable? Or have the bathroom towels that match and are folded nicely? Or make to take the time to make sure the coffee pot is clean and doesn’t have the used grounds it from the previous guest? The carpet hasn’t been vacuumed and lastly, how hard is it to return a message?? Customer appreciation is at an all time low these days, set yourself apart and be better.

Very disappointed

We arrived from Colorado Springs after staying for a week in an excellent VRBO priced similarly, with intentions of a couple of days with a river view and golf at Rio Grande GC. We had some trouble finding the property but with a call the realtor gave us directions. Property does look like pictures on VRBO but entering we noticed a heavy odor of uncleanliness. After looking we noticed the outdoor porch isn’t usable because of all the cobwebs on the walls. The place looked like it may have been cleaned but no one had been there to inspect for several weeks. Also dead bugs in the window seals and in the tub. No windows open per sticky notes on window and no AC. The linens and towels are mismatch and need replacing. I contacted via voicemail and ask for return call at 7:45am and let them know we were leaving and only staying the one night. We also canceled golf and headed back to the heat. Too bad nice property not kept up. Hopefully the owner will offer a return on our payment for night we didn’t stay.

Since your stay we have taken measures to pressure wash both properties to clean those pesky cobwebs. Unfortunately this time of year no matter how many times you clean them off they seem to return the next day. Thank you for your feedback.

A little more effort please

The location of this house is fantastic but the house itself needs some minor work. There were spiderwebs everywhere inside and out. The kitchen was very under equipped. For example, there were only 4 coffee cups and the house sleeps 6-8. I wrote to the property manager ahead of time concerning a few things I wanted to know about. He responded quickly but the information I was given was inaccurate. There is a really nice big rental next door and that is looking neglected as well. It is a shame because these are both great properties they just need better care. Having access to the Rio Grand made putting up with the negative things really worth it and since we were primarily there to flyfish. For this reason alone, I would still consider renting here again. Next time I would be sure to bring more things to help me in the kitchen. More dish towels, dish soap, coffee filters, a wisk, scissors, foil and or plastic wrap, paper plates, and disposable coffee cups. I brought 6 disposable foil baking dishes and they were a life saver. This would all be needed if I were to come back. Giving your guests a decently equipped kitchen is not really that expensive and in this case it I cannot give it a higher ranking.

Hi Wendy, We did have someone come out to clean all webs off both buildings! we are sorry to hear about the kitchen not being equipped the way you had hoped. Had you informed us during your stay we would have been happy to accommodate and bring you anything you needed.
