10/10 Excellent
"This cabin was the best stocked (dishes, high chair etc etc) that we’ve stayed in. Its peaceful with plenty of space for a fam to spread out if needed. The host/owner was VERY helpful and responsive. Lately we’ve had the unfortunate experience of having to deal with rental companies and greatly appreciated Steve’s help & care for our enjoyment of the property. The deck is AWESOME in rain or shine & many hours were spent there. The hummingbirds are also pretty friendly & get very close! Not a problem for is but the road can be rough after big rains and low clearance vehicles need to be careful. Thanks for a great time, we’ll be back for our next RMNP vaca!!"
