Great property tucked back in the trees, squeaky clean and well equipped, comfy beds and overall accommodation. The deck was fabulous with the bird feeders and wildlife. Absolutely loved it!
Very quiet and comfortable. We easily were able explore the surrounding area and enjoying the Medicine Bow mountain range. This home is very clean and we appreciated the well stocked kitchen. The deer and the hummingbirds are very entertaining
Everything was exactly as described. Very nice property that is in a quiet area and away from the noise. The host was very responsive and answered all questions in a timely manner. I would recommend the place to anyone visiting the area.
Worked out great for four of our family, hunting in Medicine Bow National Forrest,Very nice place,clean, great location. Would stay again if we can draw tags for area
Spent the week snowmobiling the back country, in both the Sierra Madre's and Snowy's. Very easy and short drive to either for parking. Clean, comfortable, quiet, wifi, and all the necessities of home in the kitchen for making meals, etc. Great communication with hosts!
We loved the location! Had daily visits from the deer and birds. It was a perfect time of us to visit in early October. The fall colors were in full bloom. We were able to golf one day in Saratoga and the next day explore the Snowy Range.We dined locally and visited the hot springs. The house was cozy and we had to use the AC and heat on our stay. I liked the convenience of coded entry. The only thing I did not like was the house says it's a smoke free home yet the house had a cigarette smoke smell. I may have an overly sensitive nose. We would still stay again.
This house is situated in a quiet neighborhood and has all the amenities one would need. The host is friendly and responded quickly to questions.
