Had a pleasant 1 night stay at this cottage. The kitchen was equipped enough for us to enjoy a home cooked dinner and breakfast. The cottage is beautiful, and more than sufficient for 2 people. The property is probably hard to find, but with the detailed instructions Lynette sent us, we could get there easily!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing.

We were just looking for a place to stay to get out of the city.. when we were more than pleased with the cottage, the hospitality, and the overall feel of the stay! We were sad that we were only staying for one night; had we known how great it was, we would have done better planning to stay for more!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+.

We spent one night in this lovely studio apartment. It is very close to the south side of Glenwood Springs, so it is convenient for everything there, but also a perfect location for skiing or special events at the Sunlight ski area. The apartment is very tastefully furnished and decorated. The owners live on site and are nice folks. You can hang out in the quiet privacy of a nearby grassy meadow next to a stream.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. The room is beautiful, peaceful and quiet and has all the amenities you'll need. It is just a short drive into town but feels like your own mountain retreat. We will definitely recommend to friends and family traveling to Glenwood!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, sightseeing, romantic getaway, age 55+.

I was in Glenwood just to get away for the weekend and this property was the perfect place to stay. It was clean, pretty and comfortable. Town and Sunlight are easily accessible from this property. Owners are friendly and easy to work with-- and they have a sweet dog :)Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway, people with disabilities.
Owner response: Jamie You are such a sweetheart to write a review. It is something that, other than the notebook in the apartment, I have not pursued. Thank you so much. Should you care to visit us again, we will deduct $10 from your total. Hoping to see you again Lynette
