Lovely stay in a lovely place. Redstone is one of our favorite spots to visit. The only and minor issue with the place was the strong smell from the detergent used on the sheets and pillow shams. This is a very subjective issue and should not deter others from staying here.

Thank you for the kind feedback. We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and your time in Redstone. We appreciate the note on the detergent and will keep that in mind. We’d love to host you again.
This was our 2nd time at this property and all was wonderful. I only gave 1 star for skiing because we did not ski - visited in October, so that question was unnecessary for our stay.

Robin, thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing to stay with us again! We’re thrilled to hear everything was wonderful during your visit. And thank you for clarifying the skiing rating — totally understandable for an October stay! We truly appreciate your continued support and hope to welcome you back for a third visit when there is snow on the ground to ski.
This was such a cute, cozy little place to stay! The little town was lovely. The sound of the river outside my room was perfect with a quaint little place to sit outside and read as well. Penny Hotsprings down the road was a nice find!Will definitely be back!

Thank you so much for your review! We're so happy you enjoyed the cozy atmosphere, the peaceful river, and the charm of the town. Penny Hot Springs is a gem—we’re glad you discovered it! We’d love to welcome you back anytime!
Loved this place! Super easy checkin and out, friendly owner, love having a kitchenette and love the location by the river! Highly recommend it and I’ll definitely be back!
This was a great place to stay to celebrate our anniversary in the mountains. Redstone is my new favorite getaway town!! The space was cute, cozy and clean. Highly recommend!
Perfect weekend visit to one of our favorite places
We had a late arrival and our access instructions were clear and trouble free. We enjoyed our cozy little accommodation in the middle of Redstone. We’ll be back!
The Villas are clean and in a great location right in the middle of tiny Redstone. We loved the lawn by the river with Weber bbq and picnic tables. Beautiful setting. Lots of great day trips can be made from Redstone. We would stay again.
We hiked, snowmobiled, shopped! Had a great time! We brought Amtrak out and had a rental car to adventure area! We plan to come back in September we had so much fun!
This was such an adorable place! My friend and I stayed here together. We were able to comfortably sleep in the room, enjoy meals, and sit by the river. The other guests were also very respectful. 10/10 experience
Very cute studio apartment. Very clean. Easy to get into. Redstone is a writer cool little town. I put my mom and dad here while we camped down the road. They can no longer doing campsites but it is nice that we still bring them along and can find a nice place for them to stay
This is a really nice, comfortable and well equipped condo. The location on the river is very peaceful and relaxing. I really enjoyed sitting out on the patio watching the river go by and also enjoyed sitting out on the front veranda watching the world of Redstone go by. The only reason that I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the view from the condo is a little disappointing. The Crystal River is literally right outside the window but the view is almost entirely blocked by the laundry building between the condo and the river. Not a huge deal as I spent most time outside but it would’ve been perfect with a nice view of the river from the condo window.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the comfort of the condo and the peaceful riverside setting—especially relaxing on the patio and front veranda. We truly appreciate your feedback about the view and understand how that could make a difference. The listing does note that the condo offers a partial river view, but we appreciate your suggestion and will keep it in mind as we look for ways to enhance the guest experience. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
The Crystal River Villa room was a very delightful stay. It was perfectly clean (I have high standards) and offered what I needed. The back patio area on the Crystal River was inviting and relaxing with its abundant flowers, plentiful hummingbirds, comfy patio furniture, and absolutely amazing view of river and mountain. The room was quiet and other guests were generally not heard. The whole reason I came was to ride a horse for a day at Redstone Stables across the road, don't miss that gem! It was a relaxing stay!
Clean, cozy and quiet. This is the place to get away and really relax. Gotta make an effort to get connected to the internet -- so why bother? Instead, just sit by the river and watch it roll and take in the surrounding scenery. Or walk over to the Redstone Inn and have a nightcap. All the necessities for a pleasant long weekend. Great rates too!
No exaggeration five stars across the board! Seriously, one of the best Vrbo experiences i've had. What was advertised is what I received amd more. It was a absolute cute and quaint little town, we came a few weeks early, so nothing was really happening. But the adjacent town was booming. Now for the actual property, what a cute little arrangement. Our room was quaint and cozy. It had the basic amenities; a hot plate for cooking a few kitchen must haves and a good size mini fridge. We had a great view from the top floor of the river. It was relaxing and peaceful all hours of the day. The property itself was quiet and calm. We loved the river access right next to the fireplace. A great way to enjoy the sunshine and the views. The property has games and activities to play as well if you need help passing time or even have little ones. The property manager/host was phenomenal. I believe her name was Nicole. She was extremely nice, so understanding and very helpful. Even over the phone you could feel her energy and kindness. She seriously made the experience so easy breezy. Note you will most definitely lose service, but the property does have a landline and okay internet. With that said, Nicole was able to help when we did lose service. Made the Check-in process so easy, manageable and smooth and was there along the way to make the experience top tear. If you're in the need for quiet relaxing getaway with some cool historical facts.This is definitely the place to be.

Shelby, we loved hosting you, and really happy you had a great girls' trip! Thank you for the review and your feedback. We hope you will come back.
Reasonably priced, Clean, convenient, lovely patio by the river, beautiful hiking trail in a tiny town with a little general store that smells like freshly baked cookies ..what more could you ask for -
Very pleasantly surprised by the property! I lived 15 tears in Redstone years ago and this property was decidedly run down at that time. Now, a thorough remodel insures quiet between the walls, WIFI, and cell service. The wood floors, decorating, efficiency kitchen, and tiled bath really upgraded the property. The studio number 9 was small but efficient and Nicole let us move to a bigger room when available. We preferred the first floor rooms. We will stay here again. It was a great value.
Overall it was good. However the listing said there was a cook surface, I was expecting an actual built in cook surface and was disappointed to find only a single burner hot plate which made it difficult to fix meals.
Redstone is located in my favorite part of the Rockies. It’s easy to get to, but feels secluded. The property was beautiful and extremely well maintained. The rooms are exactly as shown. They are on the small side but have everything you will need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Most importantly, there is wonderful outdoor space front and back of the property to enjoy. Will definitely stay here again.
