Sep 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice dog-friendly property with large gathering living/dining room We like this property and have stayed twice. The price is reasonable, it's dog friendly, check-out is reasonable, has a nice large living dining room for a small gathering. They provide lots of spices, flour, sugar, basic in the fridge, which is nice. The few things that could be improved -- the towels are a bit low quality. The queen bed in the first bedroom off the dining room is very noisy and squeaky so that when one person tries to get out of bed it wakes the other person. The dinnerware and silverware is low quality compared to other rentals we've stayed in. We left seven martini glasses to donate just for fun. ##### Linda L.

There is no Wi-Fi there, which it did not list it in the description but would have been nice to know. Direction are laughable, it was very hard to find unless you has been there before, it took four of us over a hour to make it to the house after we left Chama due to bad, unknown markers that were referenced by the property manager. There is no address and don't go by Google maps! A drawn map would be nice with reference points with name of each. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019
