Easy access to all the fun, but a nice distance away from a lot of the tourist traffic. Host is great - very helpful and responsive. ##### Eric S. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeremy S. Jul 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Getaway in Nathrop! The home is amazing. Plenty of space to spread out within the home and on the two connected decks. Also, more than enough space to come together as a large group. The home had more than enough items (entertainment, kitchen supplies, linens, etc.) than we needed for our stay. The home is very clean & well maintained. The home is in a quiet & secluded wooded area and is approximately 20 minutes away from both Buena Vista & Salida. Great location to visit either town while also being able to stargaze in the evening. We found the home to be an ideal stay for three couples or a family group of 6. We look forward to our next visit! ##### Jeremy S. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Laurie W. Sep 11, 2018 #### A Beautiful Get Away for a Family Vacation. We were looking for some place to gather for a quiet family gathering that wasn't too far from towns and close to hiking and other outdoor recreations. This was perfect! The views were beautiful! We brought two dogs and they used both of the dog runs joyfully. The standout things were: Fully stocked pantry with some condiments in the fridge. EVERYTHING in the cabinets had a picture to help put things away! The outside decks were a wonderful addition that we used for dining and having our coffee in the morning. Numerous games were available to play. Music was available to play. Maps of various kinds and a book of information was also available. This house was a home...like visiting family. It was so thoughtfully set up, and Dave kept in touch with us by text which was really helpful. We had a glorious time! ##### Laurie W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### MINDY R. Sep 5, 2018 #### What a gem! The home was very clean, well-maintained and had all the amenities that we needed for the kitchen. It’s tucked away from the main road, which made for a very private deck and property. It’s a quick drive to the hot springs and about 20 minutes from BV. Super comfortable beds! The property manager was fantastic - he made sure we arrived safely and that we had everything we needed. We will be back! ##### MINDY R. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barney and Susan I. Aug 12, 2018 #### Great space and amazing views. We enjoyed our stay. Great vistas and secluded drive made for a nice getaway. Property was managed well and we were happy with our choice for our vacation home. ##### Barney and Susan I.
