Our second time staying here, and it was like coming home! This time we brought our two dogs, who had a blast romping in the grassy area and smelling all the wonderful smells! The cottage was spotless and well-provisioned, the grounds were gorgeous and the bed was super comfy. All around a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay at this beautiful and very comfortable cottage! The inside and the outside were equally pleasing and delightful.The price was very reasonable. It was pet friendly, and Kale was a great communicator.Also, very convenient...in town, and can walk to the main streets, but tucked away perfectly. Highly recommend, all the way around, and we can't wait to come back and stay, next time we are in Paonia.

Thank you so much, PJ! It was such a pleasure hosting you, John, and Santa Fe. We're thrilled you enjoyed both the Cottage and the gardens, and that you found the location to be the perfect balance of peaceful and close to everything Paonia has to offer. Knowing you'll be back someday is the greatest compliment we could receive. It was also especially meaningful to connect through our mutual friend, the wonderful Katrina Blair. Katrina had a remarkable way of bringing kind, thoughtful people together, and we're grateful her spirit continues to create those connections. We know she would have loved knowing you found joy and peace here. Thank you again for your thoughtful review. We can't wait to welcome you back for your next visit to Paonia. With warmest wishes - Kale & Scotty

We will definitely be back. Kales cottage is perfect for a couple or single with or without a pet. The yard is big with multiple places to relax. It’s very private. There is a hiking trail a block away. The kitchen is wonderfully complete.

Thank you so much Brent! We're so glad you enjoyed your night at Kale’s Cottage Vacation Rental. It means a lot to hear that you found the space peaceful and quiet—even with its spot just off the town road. We found this property 20 years ago as a "hidden paradise" that was close to town.
