Very nice venue in a very beautiful setting. The host was very friendly and engaged. The lavender cottage is smallish but fine for two visitors. Zenzen is very very dog-friendly.

Violet House at Zenzen Gardens was a clean, charming, and affordable 3-day getaway for us. Cindie (and her delightful shadow, Ginger the dog) was a gracious host. The cottage was pleasantly cozy with a comfortable bed; the quiet property is a beautiful 12-minute drive from the lovely downtown Paonia. We enjoyed the grand view from the veranda and tasting award-winning wines from Alred Eames Cellars. The only reason for an overall "good" rather than "excellent" rating is that the shower (clean with with plenty of hot water) is outdoors, attached to the cottage, and the restrooms are portapotties -- exactly as advertised, by the way, and largely why the cottage is such an affordable option and such a good value. Highly recommend.

Tranquility

I stayed at Zenzen with my girlfriend and we had the most incredible time. The property is stunning! The views are breathtaking everywhere on the property. The cottage was clean, homey, and absolutely perfect for the two of us. What I loved most was the gardens and outdoor spaces at Zenzen. The back porch behind the big house is an amazing place to get some charcuterie and wine tasting. Our host, Cindie was warm, welcoming, and kind. We really felt like a part of the family!

Peaceful property and experience! Just a short drive to food options and incredible recreating within the Kebler area a few miles down the road you go do your thing and I said hopefully by Friday when are you leaving yeah cause Thursday if I get all that stuff down here, I just wanna get everything by the end by Friday by this weekend. I wanna have everything at least where I wanna keep it for the timing so it’s out of the way of you so it’s not interrupting anything here. I will be up here. I can easily just grab it and throw it back on the truck whenever I find out what’s gonna happen might be your furniture downstairs so I’ve got a lay on. The sofa can’t lay lay down because they’re like I sleep in a bed I can’t sleep out. Well full size might be 6 feet but mine is 8 foot and then it’s a lounge on the other end too more comfortable. I did empty dehumidifier if you left this door open on this side too in the wine room whether the cats if the cat goes in there, it’s not gonna go to the bathroom because the bathroom is already on the other side. The main thing is that there is a huge difference between the two size right to stay with a lot longer. If you leave the door closed because you’re not getting right, you’re not getting the air to circulate all the way through. I’m smelling like that.
