Such a lovely home in a beautiful location! The Mountain View was amazing and the night sky was breathtaking. Everything was clean and well labeled. Would definitely recommend!
This is an amazing home and has everything you could possibly need. The view of the stars at night was beyond amazing! It was great to enjoy some quiet time away from the business of the holiday. I highly recommend this home!
Stayed here with my Father, and it was a great base camp for our adventures in and around the Buena Vista area. Super clean, super nice, and the hosts are wonderful. Plenty of space for lots of people, and the barrel sauna is particularly lovely. Highly recommend!
Our family loved staying here. The children loved the pool table and walking around the property. The adults loved the views and layout of the home. The host was helpful and communicative. We would definitely stay again. :)
We were only here for a couple days but it was exactly what we needed. We sauna'd, worked remotely for a few hours, watched some movies, and relaxed. The views were stunning and the location was quiet. Just perfect
Wonderful home with so many amenities. Hosts were incredibly responsive to any questions, toiletries and an array of cooking supplies were included, and the home was extremely clean and well maintained.
This property has incredible mountain views and is perfect for the travelers seeking peace, relaxation, and some good times with the ones you love. The property is quite remote, but that is why we loved it. There is still plenty to do—play horseshoes, relax out in the shack or the sauna, listen to the birds or stargaze on the deck, play pool or one of the many games available. Very comfortable, cozy & enjoyable!
Our family had such a great week at this beautiful mountain house! It was nice and clean, and we loved the view and pool table in the basement.
Although the roads leading up to the house weren’t in good enough condition to drive to different trailheads every day, we enjoyed spending more time at the cabin and walking along the road.
This is a great house for a relaxing mountain vacation!
This property was so welcoming to me( age 71) my son ( age 42 ) , my daughter in law ( age 43) , and three grandsons ( ages 9, 7 and 1.5 years old). The home is very comfortable, pretty, and well appointed with lots of areas to gather indoors and out as well as ample room to stay quiet and private. Everything worked and super clean! The host Todd was very accessible and attentive through the app mail and there was an emergency! One child became very ill during the night and he helped us through that too adjusting our departure time. Even the kid’s dog was delighted with the property as it is perfect for dogs too. Will definitely book this again!
The house is very spacious with a lot of amenities. Our host Todd was amazing...very accommodating and was always checking in to see if we needed anything.
The house is located in good proximity to Buena Vista, Fairplay, and loads of hiking trails. Very convenient, yet private with great views.
Thank you so much Todd for a wonderful weekend!
Great property with excellent views. Todd provided all information which made check in and check out an easy process. Well stocked kitchen and bathrooms. A lot of thought was put into essentials that may be needed.
Dream Colorado life out here. Beautiful home, amazing views!
The place was absolutely amazing, quite and peaceful. Pool table in the basement was a lot of fun. Sauna was beautiful looking over the valley.
The owner had amazing communication and did us a favor without any hesitation.
This place is HIGHLY recommended for you couples get away or family retreat. Enjoy!
My family enjoyed the stay here! Lots of room and everything you could need. My kids enjoyed the pool table and there were plenty of games to play. The sauna was an added bonus. Beautiful views all around. About 30 min from Buena Vista, which had plenty of places to eat and great rafting options. Lots of 14ers around as well. We ended up hiking Mt. Sherman, which was about an hour away. From Mt. Sherman, we ate in Fairplay, then about 30 min back to the cabin. I would definitely stay here again!
The house was very clean and the check-in process was very easy. Todd had excellent communication and provided detail steps on how to use the sauna and other things within the house. We appreciate that they had some basic kitchen necessities like flour, sugar and spices.
The sky at night was filled with stars and was really beautiful as well as the sauna was great after a long day hiking in the mountains, we also really like the big screen TV in the basement and the access to Netflix and Disney+.
We absolutely loved our stay! The home was beautiful, spacious, and spotless, plenty of room for well over six people. The beds were super comfy and made it easy to relax after a day of exploring. The setting is perfectly secluded with breathtaking mountain views and total tranquility. The dirt roads are solid (not muddy), though there are some washboard sections, but it’s worth it for the peace and quiet you get once you arrive. The property and neighbors were wonderfully quiet, and the house was well-equipped with everything we needed. It’s about 15 minutes from the route road, so it feels like a true getaway without being too far from town, give or take 25 to 30 minutes as listed. Pictures don't do it justice! We would 100% recommend this place and would definitely stay again!
OK, I am biased because my family already has a cabin in the area, but we were thrilled to host our family reunion with the help of Todd and his beautiful home! Half of our family stayed with us, the other half in Todd's cabin. It was clean, had plenty of things to keep the teenagers busy and they LOVED the sauna. The views are outstanding. Truly, this is the best area if you want the beauty and the piece and quiet that comes with the mountains. You are close to so many cool towns, rafting is near by, world-class fly fishing, you name it! We highly recommend this location and working with Todd is fantastic!!!
Beautiful location, lovely house, long dirt road, some maintenance issues.
Everything was as described and the property was very clean and well-equipped. The washer and dryer are nice, there are lots of seasonings in the kitchen, and we had several days’ worth of Keurig cups to get us going. We loved sitting on the deck, watching for wildlife (even saw a bobcat!), and enjoying the beautiful interior of the home. We had a wonderful 10 days in the fall, watching the leaves change before our eyes. Took photos of the stars and Milky Way, changing leaves, and bluebirds!
The 7 miles of dirt road to get to the house wore thin on us over 10 days so we won’t book so rural next time when we know we want to go places during our stay.
There were some maintenance issues that we will share privately with the owner so they can be fixed.
We had an outstanding time staying here. The host was extremely helpful and very responsive. We would highly recommend this home and will definitely stay here again.
Loved our stay here! The cabin was gorgeous and had everything we could’ve asked for with awesome extras like the sauna and pool table. It was such a great deal for the price. We can’t wait to come back!
