4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
Very dangerous entry. The steps were unstable and no handrail to hold onto. We are seniors, but still in good health. A better description would help. No instructions on the appliances. Maintenance problems. Specifically the television was inoperable for two days. Unable to get any hot water in the shower.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we're truly sorry your stay fell short. Your safety matters to us. We do understand that stairs can be difficult for some guests - that is why we show the yard stairs leading up to the cabin in the lead photo. Other than in the yard, there are only 2 deck stairs to get to the front door. The county only requires handrails if there are 4 or more stairs, but we are getting an estimate to add a handrail to one side for added comfort for guests. You did let us know about the issues you were having with the TV and we sent someone over within an hour to get that all working for you properly. We did not hear about the issue with not having hot water until we read this review - we have checked it and are not able to replicate that issue - the hot water is working fine. We appreciate you helping us make Forest Lake Hideout better for every guest.

Perfect cozy retreat!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had the most wonderful, peaceful weekend at this beautiful mountain cabin! It was the perfect cozy retreat for a quiet getaway, yet conveniently located for enjoying activities in Bayfield and at Vallecito Lake. The area is absolutely gorgeous, with endless opportunities for hiking, fishing, and taking a scenic drive along the Million Dollar Highway to explore Silverton and Ouray.The cabin itself was beautifully decorated, with lovely paintings that added so much charm and character. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped and wonderfully functional, and the porch was the perfect place to relax and soak in the mountain surroundings. We even had the pleasure of watching deer and wild turkeys wander across the property!Everything about our stay was cozy, comfortable, and relaxing. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect mountain getaway and would happily return. Highly recommend this fantastic little cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful escape in a beautiful setting!
