Great place for a large group.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here. Great atmosphere and loved the decks overlooking the creek. The place was great for our group of gals with lots of single/twin beds. Plenty of bathrooms as well. The kitchen has everything you really need for cooking. My only complaint is that the dining table is a bit small but we did find a folding table and chairs that worked for us. The location is 5 minutes from Glenwood Springs which was great since some of our group went skiing and left the others without vehicles. Taxi service for up to 7 passengers was only $12. I would certainly stay here again. Thank you!

Good Location!

Nice place, nice location. Would definetely recommend for a cozy place in winter (that's when we lived) and seems to be a fun place for summer too. Kitchen was awesome, stocked with all utensils and other basic needs. Go for it! p.s. The stairs going down to the house are next to the garage. Locating the entrance to the house was a little challenge in the night time so remember this tip.

Owner response:We will make sure we always leave the front porch light on for late arrivals!

Fun & Quirky house

Guest: Dr. T (New York City)
Date of Stay: 07/08/11 Review Submitted: 03/06/12

We enjoyed staying at Walter's No Name house. You could tell that this was a family house. It is ON the river, which was a beautiful thing to come out to each day. They have a little apt. down stairs, that was a nice get away. and the house has that "meditation" room, which you have to go outside to get to. My father stayed there and loved that he was able to get away from the 5 grandchildren. And the little path to get there is a great place to watch the moon from. Good kitchen. and close to everything. We did wish that the huge jet bath in the master bedroom would have been working. But other than that it was a fun place to stay. It doesn't feel like a rental, it is a very quirky house, that they made additions to as time went on, and you can tell. The owners were quick to respond to our calls and you almost feel like Walter is still hanging on the porch! Good Times! The Tolbert clan

Perfect Get Away Home

Guest: Dar (Lakewood, Colorado)
Date of Stay: 07/02/11 Review Submitted: 08/02/11

This home is absoutely fabulous for a relaxing get away or a home base for lots of activities in the area. We were here for 1 week and the 1st few days we just stayed close to home because it was so relaxing! No Name creek was a wonderful roaring river because of the very high spring run-off and just lulled us to sleep at night. The bike trail next to the Colorado river was just down the street, so everyone did their morning walks or jogs in an incredible setting. There were 6 of us, 2 young adults and 4 middle aged adults. The house is so big and spread out that everyone could have their own space if needed:) I highly recommend this house for a vacation or a long weekend. There are numerous summer activities in the surrounding area that would accommodate a variety of interests. I will definitely rent this house again. The only downside is that from the garage just off the street you do need to go down 2 flights of stairs to get to the house. So unloading and loading your stuff takes a little more effort. However, that's what makes it more remote and relaxing.

Owner response:Thanks! Look forward to having you back.

For our ladies reunion, we found Walter's House to be charming, and perfect for our needs. We are talking about future stays since we enjoyed the setting and accommodation so much.

Owner response:Thanks, Karen! Glad your group had a good trip.

Superb Location and Accommodations for Golf Outing

Guest: Bob (Denver, Colorado)
Date of Stay: 10/02/10 Review Submitted: 12/19/10

We had an outstanding time on our golf outing "buddies trip" in and around Glenwood Springs the first week of October, and the accommodations at Walter's at No Name were wonderful. The house was spacious, comfortable, and well appointed, yet cozy enough to provide a social setting for meals and relaxing for eight. And, with the location at No Name, it fit our needs perfectly being about 20 minutes from the golf courses we played. After golf on Monday at River Valley Ranch, (and pizza and beer following our round ), I was even able to enjoy a nice ride on my mountain bike from Carbondale back to Walter's along the Rio Grande and Glenwood Canyon trails. From relaxing on the wrap-around deck, to listening to the quiet run of the creek, everyone enjoyed our time in No Name . If I hear of someone looking for a large place to stay in the Glenwood area, I'll certainly tell them to inquire about Walter's at No Name. And if this group pulls together again for another golf trip to the area, you will hear from us again.

Owner response:Walter would be particularly pleased that golfers are enjoying his house! Book your golfing (or skiing, or rafting, or fishing) trip now!

A Fantastic find

We had the most wonderful start to our second Colorado holiday. We arrived feeling a little worried that it would not live up to our first stay in Colorado in 2008. Our fears left as soon as we saw this house. It was the first of 4 we stayed in over our 2 week holiday and remained the favourite. The location was perfect, it was relaxing and very quiet and yet so close to the main road into Glenwood Springs, the bike trail and the rafting trips. We loved every minute, this house is quirky, fun and very comfortable. We hope to be back.

Family vacation

Guest: Ranger Rick (Ft. Collins, CO)
Date of Stay: 07/29/10 Review Submitted: 08/10/10

A very pleasant retreat. Easy access to I70 but well secluded and quiet. The garage is a real plus! The deck overlooking the creek provided a restful place to lounge and listen to the calming sound of the water. The information notebook in the house was very helpful. Two older people, one with 2 artificial knees, 2 children and one grandson had a very good time at Walter's No Name House.

My family all decided that we would like to meet up and get together for the 4th of July. We found Walter's No Name House and were able to book the house with no issues. Janet & Amy were easy to work with and addressed any questions very quickly. There are a few items that need updated in the house (like a broken water pipe in the basement), but overall the house was wonderful. Even though we were just minutes from Glenwood Springs, the house was nestled right next to the creek and you felt like you were away in the mountains. We would definitely rent this vacation house again.

New England meets Glenwood!

Guest: LBM (Boulder, CO)
Date of Stay: 04/29/10 Review Submitted: 06/11/10

My daughter and I met 5 friends at the airport and drove to Walter's No Name Cabin at the end of April. It was a terrific place to stay. Plenty of room, privacy even with 7 of us. The kitchen was well stocked and planned out well so that 5 of us could work on an evening meal at once! About the third day we realized that there were hundreds of trout in the stream which runs directly by the cabin and my daughter is a fly fisher-woman (pro). She and my best friend's daughter fished for hours and one caught her first fish. They caught and released many fish as they had come up from the Colorado to the No Name Creek to spawn. We ate all of our meals in and visited the spa and hot springs every day (5 min from the house!). I would go back in a second.

We loved our get away to your very comfortable house for a ski weekend!! It was very quaint and we loved the convenience of being so close to Glenwood Springs and Sunlight ski area! We hope to visit again and would recommend to friends.

What a magical place! I had the pleasure of staying here a couple of years ago and didn't want to leave. To sleep with the creek running down below was fantastic! I can't wait to come back! Oh, and Glennwood Springs is just down the road - that is the best part!!!

We stayed with our kids and another family with kids and had a WONDERFUL time. The house is in such a unique spot and listening to No Name creek while we slept was really neat. We visit Glenwood Springs a few times a year, and will definitely try to stay here again!

We try to plan a "family" getaway every year so all the family can be together at least once without it being wrapped around a holiday or anything. We found this place and the family fell in love with it. It was so close and convient to all the things we wanted to do. Just a warm,homey,cozy place to have the family altogether. Will be back for sure! Owners were very nice and arrangements were very easy to deal with.

What a beautiful and unique home! All the furnishings, decor and interior finishing are tastefully designed. Lots of character and quite charming. Sitting in a majestic canyon with the river off the back porch is a huge plus. Owners are friendly & professional. If you're planning on visiting the Glenwood Springs area this home is it! We're already planning a trip back...
