We spent the first week of October at Dean's cabin and it was everything we expected... and more! Plenty of room for 4 adults and 1 dog. The cabin is cozy and well taken care of, with all the amenities needed for a relaxing trip. The gate on the deck offered a great, safe place for our Greta. We spent every evening on the deck staring at the stars and were blessed with an unexpected meteor shower. Amazing! We were a little sad to not use the fireplace, but the weather was perfect all week. This cabin is an excellent base camp for exploring the San Juan Mountains and the quaint towns surrounding them. We didn't see the elk; however, the daily march of the turkey was great fun. Lots of birds, chipmunks and squirrels to keep the young at heart entertained. Oh, and Wal Mart will deliver to the cabin, so don't worry about hauling all of your food in the car! Dean was great to work with and always quick to respond. We had a mechanical issue with our truck, and he was kind enough to get us in touch with someone he trusted. Much appreciated!All in all, it was a wonderful trip! Ride the train, drive the Million Dollar Highway and stare at the stars. Thanks, Dean!
