  • What a pleasant surprise, Your home exceded all of our expectations. A great view, & a great house with everything we needed. We hope to enjoy your home again, soon. The kids enjoyed the tv in all the bedrooms & the selection of movies & vidieo games. We had our 1 yr old with us & the gates & crib were a surprise. We won't have to bring them next time. Thank you for a smooth transaction & the prompt return of our deposit. Best regards, Mike & Diane Backous

  • Scott/Sandy, We truly enjoyed our weekend in the high country! The house is very nice and very peaceful and quiet. Just what we were looking for in relaxing getaway. We were amazed at all the things that had been thought from the well stocked kitchen to the fleece throws to take the chill off of the enjoyable mountain air. We will definitely be back! Thanks, Jeff & Karyn

  • Scott and Sandy, We are not only former owners of a cabin rent business, but we have rented many, many cabins over the years, as we love to travel. Southern Comfort was one of the most beautiful places we have rented. It was immaculately clean, and wonderfully furnished and equipped. Since we find eating in so much more relaxing than eating out, a well equipped kitchen is very important to us, and your cabin's kitchen lacked for nothing. The view from the cabin is awesome: we had a whole morning of snow (something we do not see often in Georgia) and the aspens were gorgeous. You have made Southern Comfort the perfect place to build perfect memories. We will never forget the great time we had there, and if we ever go back to Fairplay, we know exactly where we want to stay. Thank you for the effort you have put into providing your guests with the perfect accommodation!

  • What a great place! All the arrangements were cordially handled, and we found the home clean, cozy, inviting, and comfortable - a wonderful get away for friends. The kitchen was well-equipped, and if the weather refused to cooperate, there was plenty to do indoors. We enjoyed visiting South Park City in Fairplay and exploring the surrounding area. Thanks for making us feel so welcome.

  • The property and cabin are great! However, when I stayed here two years ago, the people managing the place - Peace of Mind Cabins in Fairplay, were horrible! First off they weren't there for our 3pm check in time and we didn't get in the place until after 10pm, then when we arived the hot water was off and the hot tub was nailed shut and the basement was under construction. They were not available to help us in these matters so we were on our own to light the hot water heater and furnace and get the hot tub going, not impossible but completely unnecessary when you expect your accomodations to be in order. Furthermore, they failed to offer us any compensation. If it were not for the horrible management, it would have been a great vacation. So make sure you're dealing with honest people before you pay a bundle to stay here.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    WE HAVE CONTACTED THIS PERSON ABOUT THESE COMMENTS AND THEY AGREED TO RETRACT THEM. SINCE THEY HAVE NOT WE WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND. TRUE, WE'RE SURE THEY HAD A BAD EXPERIENCE DUE TO THE MANAGEMENT COMPANY "PEACE OF MIND". THIS COMPANY NOT ONLY LET US DOWN, THEY CREATED A BAD SITUATION FOR OUR GUESTS. WE HAD THEM MANAGE FOR A PERIOD OF 6 MONTHS BEFORE THEY LEFT THE AREA IN MAY '04. WE HAVE SINCE MANAGED FOR OURSELVES AND HAVE HAD GOOD EXPERIENCES WITH OVER 70 GUESTS. SCOTT & SANDY PENNELL WE RECEIVED THIS EMAIL FROM THE DISGRUNTLED PARTY. -----Original Message----- From: Diane Driscoll [mailto:dd3lamar.colostate.edu] Sent: Wednesday, March 22, 2006 1:07 PM To: Scott Pennell Subject: RE: FAIRPLAY RENTAL- OUR APPOLOGIES Hello Mr. and Mrs. Pennell, Thanks for the appologies and offer! Sorry to hear that you got stuck in a bad situation with those people, they were not very professional and it seems they were shady folks. It is, however, great to hear that you guys are doing a much better job. I will go ahead and remove my "negative" comment from the website so that there are no repercussions for you there. We would love to stay at the place again, I ran across the cabin while looking for a place to stay this summer. Once we get some dates together I will contact you guys and see if the place is available. Take care and thanks again, Diane

    We had a great trip and look forward to returning to Southern Comfort. The house is very comfortable and well-equipped. And of course -- location, location, location. The views across South Park and up at the starry skies were tremendous. We fished the South Platte and the Warm Springs ponds, rafted Brown's Canyon, did some jeep trails through the passes and to Kite Lake and went horseback riding in the Collegiate Peaks. We are sorry we missed Burro Days! My wife and I may be interested in returning in October for our anniversary. We were planning on the beach, but the hurricane season is not inspiring us to go south this fall. We'll check availability on the website and let you know . Thanks!

  • This was the most awesome vacationing spot ever! Thanks for the views! It was great to see the horseback riders first thing in the morning and South Park City was a great day trip.

  • Scott and Sandy, Thanks for sharing your cabin with us. We had a great time! The cabin is beautiful and had everything we could imagine needing. Being there while the aspens changed was terrific. We'd wake up in the morning and look out on a sea of gold. Add that to the resident population of antelope at the enterance, having the National Forest as a backyard, the deer and occasional elk, good fishing, hiking, and biking and it was pretty much a perfect trip! Thanks for everything! Maureen and Marshall

    Hi Scott, Sure wish we were back in Fairplay as it's right at 100° here today. I think tomorrow is to be about the same. Thanks a bunch for allowing us to stay in your home. It was very nice, probably the best accomodations we have had in our 16 years of vacationing in Colorado. The area and the views were great. Gary Spellman 07/20/04
