Road to cabin was steep but okay. Parking great for a small vehicle. We did find the bed to be incredibly hard and uncomfortable. Dogs in the neighborhood were barking through the night, not the owners or hosts, but others. We would stay there again if the bed wasn't so hard.

Beautiful cottage

This is a beautiful cottage in a cool little town. Susan was a very accommodating host. My only warning is that if you absolutely need WiFi, it’s very spotty and cell reception is not good. But if you are looking to unplug, this is a great retreat!

Glad you enjoyed Paonia and the Cottage and thanks for the feedback ~it is appreciated. We do have Elevate Fiber which is normally fast and reliable. We will look into why you had spotty service. This is a rural area ~ T-Mobile service is very good in the town and valley. Unplugging is great, but we want to offer our guests, as much as we can, good internet and cell service too! Thanks!

Paonia Gem

The property was everything and more that we could have hoped for. It's extremely clean and very spacious for a one bedroom. It's so close to downtown Paonia. We were able to walk downtown and take the free bus to Big B's for the concerts.

Wonderful cottage

Catulpa Cottage is a hidden treasure. It was just perfect as a home base for us for our hiking adventures off Kebler Pass. Mornings on the deck and evenings by the fire pit capped our days. Visits to nearby wineries and breweries were an added treat. The Cottage is well furnished and had everything we needed. It was very functional as well....with a spacious kitchen and bathroom and plenty of room for all of our gear.

Wonderful cottage, Great location!

We loved everything about this cottage. It was so thoughtfully decorated with great attention to detail, and had everything you could possibly need to be comfortable and feel at home. Beautiful, updated, clean bathroom and kitchen. The bedroom is perfect with nice windows and big comfy bed! Even though we did not cook in the kitchen, there was everything you would need to make a meal. I especially loved the interior wooden doors. We enjoyed sitting out on the deck at night and viewing all the stars. We would stay there again in a heartbeat! It was probably one of the nicest VRBO's we have ever stayed in.

A wonderful place!

Catalpa Cottage is a great place to stay in the North Fork area--much nicer than a hotel room. The cottage is completely renovated and tastefully appointed with everything you might need while away from home, including a full kitchen, deck, fire pit, and even a record player and a nostalgic collection of LPs (young people ask your parents what those last two things are!). Susan is a great host--super responsive and accommodating. Definitely worth returning to!

Easy check-in with immediate access to owners if needed. The cottage was immaculate and charming. Fully equipped kitchen. LP vinyl albums, internet and roku for streaming. Loved the framed album covers.We are backgammon players and were delighted to play on a brand new backgammon board. Very comfortable bed. Great shower. Lovely deck. It was perfect for us -- a senior couple.Surprised about the quality of CO wine!

Return to Catalpa Cottage

We stayed at the Catalpa Cottage Cottage two years ago and loved everything about the Cottage and Paonia. We returned this year to visit a friend and to enjoy the town and surroundings. The cottage is sweet, inviting and very comfortable, is nicely decorated with a comfy bed, has a gourmet kitchen and had a beautiful shaded deck. Its location is semi rural with a view of nearby hills, yet just a couple of blocks from downtown. We eagerly anticipated our return this year and can't wait to return to the Catalpa Cottage. Thank you for this gem of a VRBO. Judith and Peter

Beautiful area

I enjoyed my stay at Catalpa Cottage. Very nice backyard. House has everything you need and very clean. Couple things I would like to add that are not in description. House does have TV. Outdoor firepit is propane. Don't want anybody else loading up on wood like I did to find out it is gas. Lol

Thanks Jim ~ I am glad you enjoyed your stay at Catalpa Cottage. Please come visit us again. I will update the description to include your very good suggestions. We added the propane to the firepit because of the high fire danger in the valley.

Hidden gem cottage

This property was a pleasant surprise. Much nicer than the pictures indicated. Every amenity was provided. The bedroom and bath were spacious and well appointed. An additional plus was that all natural cleaners were used. The kitchen was fabulous even though we had difficulty with operating the cooktop and had to call the owner for assistance. She came over promptly and reset the breaker. The only negative was the sofa and love seat were very soft for us two seniors with back problems. ! We would definitely stay here again
