Oct 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Great place for family but not for cats We selected this home for our daughter's family while they were moving out of a difficult housing situation and preparing for a move to another state. This was a stressful time and this Vrbo was just the place to feel a bit of peace in the midst of chaos. Everything they needed was there with games and a wonderful tire swing that provided hours of laughter and fun. The only draw back was we were lead to believe this was a pet friendly place as it was stated in the online listing and in the house rules posted in the house. They have a nice fence area for dogs but we learned the hard way that cats were excluded from the property. We voluntarily gave up our deposit so they can get the house deep cleaned. ##### Ruth T.

Jun 12, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Well-appointed home-away-from-home This was like our second home and a base of operations to go out and enjoy the parks and railroads around it. The location was great, the decor was very well-done and rustic. There were plenty of kitchen tools and utensils for cooking our own meals. We enjoyed the wide selection of DVDs, the games and the jigsaw puzzles. The gas grill was a thoughtful bonus, so we picked up steaks on the way in from town. The only surprise was arriving and learning there was no air conditioning. However, judicious opening and closing of windows in early June allowed us to capture the cool night air and retain it except for one hour in the afternoon where it started to feel rather warm. For the season we stayed, it wasn’t a problem — just a surprise. On the days between expeditions where we just stayed there for rest, it was a very comfortable place to laze around and recharge. Communication with the host was wonderful, and she was very helpful. ##### Stephen H. Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark R.

The house is well-equipped in every respect, clean, comfortable, and inviting. The kitchen is particularly nice. You'll have no trouble preparing elaborate meals if that is your desire. There's a nice selection of DVDs and games for some relaxing family time in the evening. As for the location, it's a great base of operations from which to explore the Four Corners. Mesa Verde NP is within half an hour, and Monument Valley + Valley of the Gods (highly recommended!) are about 2 hours away. Many other points of interest as well. Sonja was the ideal host; very prompt with her warm and helpful communications. ##### Mark R. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara R.

The house was a perfect home base for trail running, mountain biking and hiking. I had to work most mornings and played in the afternoon. My two college age kids attended remote classes the first couple of days and the internet connection was fine for the whole family. This was a great home away from home. We had plenty of room to spread out as we worked in the morning. The living room was very cozy and perfect for games in the evening. Kitchen had everything we needed for our Thanksgiving meal. Heating, washer, dryer and all appliances worked great. The house and garage has lots of storage. We were able to keep extra ice chests in the mud room and our bikes in the garage. We took a few short hikes on the property between meetings and other activities. The views were great and not something I was expecting to enjoy so much. Sonja is great with communication. She sent detailed instructions prior to our arrival and checked up on us a few times during our stay. ##### George B. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### rob m.

About 3 miles from Delores. 27 acres and nice views. Plenty of kitchen items, internet, TV. All worked well and the place was clean. Nice sun room (270 degrees of windows) for morning coffee and evening drinks. Dog friendly! I was in the area to hike the mountains above Delores aside state route 145 and there are endless, wonderful hikes nearby (most hiking here is, well, uphill.) Owner is VERY responsive and timely in doing so which is a big bonus IMO. I very much enjoyed the home and felt like I was staying in "grandma and grandpa's" house (in a good way!) ##### rob m.

It was just right for our large family of adults and 4 kids. It’s an older home and it’s a little on the old fashioned side, but I didn’t have to worry about the kids messing it up. Floating down the Dolores river was a highlight. The kids liked being able to go walk around Dolores without the adults. It was a perfect place for a family vacation. ##### Jane N. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kim H. Aug 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Friendly Family Home Great place to crash at the end of a busy day sightseeing. This is a well-loved older home in the quietest country setting imaginable -- a dead end road. We didn't have time to explore the large lot but it looks interesting. Location is convenient to attractions northeast in Telluride, and south to Mesa Verde. Our two dogs also give it five paws. No flights of stairs for an older dog to navigate. Owner was exceedingly prompt in answering all questions. Would stay here again. ##### Kim H. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sara G., Fort McDowell, AZ Jul 9, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Peace and Quiet in the Country A comfortable and quiet place to relax in a beautiful part of Colorado, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! It was nice that our dogs were welcome and there is a small fenced area for them to romp in. This is in a great location for many activities close by such as mountain hikes, visiting ancient Indian ruins, water sports, mountain biking, and horseback riding. After exhausting ourselves having great times outdoors, this home is so nice to come back to for relaxing. ##### Sara G. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary C. Jun 10, 2019 #### Home away from home This place is absolutely wonderful, we didn't want to go home. It had everything we needed and it felt like home, but in the relaxing vacation way. Sonja was very helpful and quick at responding, and she made sure everything went good for us. It's in a secluded area with beautiful views, and yet close enough to the charming town of Dolores. Our kids enjoyed exploring the 26 acres and barbecuing outside, just like we were camping with no one around. The cabin is close to many gorgeous hiking trails, Mesa Verde, and minutes to McPhee Reseevoiur, and Dolores River for those who love to fish, raft, paddle board, and spend time by the water. We look forward to many more stays there. I recommend this place to everyone, and I know they'll enjoy it as much as we did. Thanks Sonja (and family) ##### Mary C. Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Patricia P. Jul 31, 2018 #### Roomy and comfortable Large, roomy house - easy to find and gain entrance. The kitchen has every type of appliance on earth, and plenty of dinnerware, silverware, pots and pans. So happy we were able to watch TV. Wish the internet worked consistently and there were more fans as it got quite warm in the afternoon. It was unclear what to do with the trash, as it seemed to accumulate in the garage. ##### Patricia P.
