This was a wonderful property to rent for 5 days for my dad’s 80th birthday. His 3 grandkids flew in from all over and we spent days on the lake, tubing, seeing mesa verde and enjoying the beautiful porches.

Great location. We used location for a base camp to travel to Arches / Canyonlands / Telluride and Durango. Nice quiet location to return to to have a quiet dinner and sit on deck. Town of Dolores is only a 5 minute drive with grocery and restaurants. Site is pet friendly with fenced area off of deck for your pup to explore while you sit and relax.

Great Stay

The property was great - the owners were very nice and easy to get a hold of. They were very accepting of our two dogs we brought and all the kids. I would highly recommend this place if you want something a little outside of town.

Absolutely perfect

Perfect place for my family over spring break. We explored Durango, Mesa Verde, the Four Corners and Cortez. The layout is great enabling us all to be together when we wanted and on our own when we wanted some downtime. Our dog loved the property too.

Amazing property and hosts

This beautiful home is located on a wonderful property. The house was extremely clean and had everything, and i mean everything, we needed or wanted.It is a quiet, peaceful property and the hosts are wonderful. Sitting on the deck in the morning with some coffee watching hummingbird feeder wars, listening to the quiet can't be beat. Thank you, Kelly and Troy, for welcoming us.

Beautiful and quiet stay

Beautiful home in a very quiet area. It’s not a big tourist area but just what we wanted. Close to many tourist sights. The town of Dolores is small but had a few good restaurants to visit. Love that the house was dog friendly. Owners were nice and available if needed. My husband loved the house! Would highly recommend.

Cabin is beautiful and very well stocked. The supply of towels was the most I’ve ever seen. Kitchen is very well stocked with plenty of dishes and cookware. I appreciated how clean and well kept everything was. It is very spacious with plenty of seating and beds for a large group. Everything is of good quality, not the normal cheap rental stuff. Hosts are very friendly. The only caution I would give is artwork isn’t necessarily suitable for minors. However, I highly recommend this cabin for adult travelers!

Beautiful place a short distance from Mesa Verde and Durango

The area is somewhat remote and beautiful. The place was clean and well stocked with dishes and kitchen appliances. The decks are huge with a variety of wild birds around the property. There is an awesome trail system less than a mile away you can walk, run, or bike on. The owners are friendly and helpful.

Fabulous!

We couldn't be happier with our stay! We booked this for a mini family reunion and EVERYONE loved it. The house is spacious, comfortable, beautiful and has EVERYTHING you need. The surrounding area is gorgeous, peaceful, everything is easy to find. Troy and Kelly are so warm and friendly and immediately responsive to any questions or issues. We are definitely coming back! (Besides, we have to check out any new artwork!)

Everything we were looking for!

The home was beautiful. We had 5 adults & 4 kids (ages 3, 5, 6, & 7) in our group. The home is beautiful, very clean with plenty of room for our large group. The property was well maintained & fenced and very private. Troy & Kelly are great hosts and very accommodating to all our needs. The location was perfect and I highly recommend this property to anyone looking to enjoy nature in Colorado at it's best.

Post Christmas Get Away

It was a great property with 2 master suites and 2 living spaces. We had 4 kids under 8, and it was easy to have them go outside or go to another place to play. We all loved the property size, kids did sledding and nature walks.The only draw back was slow streaming.

We had a great time.

Outstanding place in Dolores. Lots of room both in and out doors. Dogs loved it. Awesome breezes all day and night. Comfortable furniture and beds. The hosts were great and we enjoyed talking with them. Very responsive to anything we needed (which wasn't much). Mountain biking was great. Experienced the farmers market on Wednesday evenings. Loved it!

Our group was atypical: five guys pushing 80 who have meet annually for decades for some sort of outdoor adventure. Our camping days over, we have recently resorted to Vrbo's. Despite our group being atypical, the home was perfect for our needs: spacious, beautiful, well-appointed with everything a visitor could want, lots of beds and bathrooms, and adorned with the art work of the owners. The kitchen is fabulous. The setting is spectacular, in close proximity to local hiking, Mesa Verde, and Canyon of the Ancients National Monument. The owners were very responsive to queries. Everything was as advertised, only better. Everyone in the group raved about what a find it was. Thank you Troy and Kelly.

Great Secluded Getaway!

The house was setup great and close to town but far enough for nice privacy and quietness! We actually were able to have a white Christmas! The house was very clean and kept up and there is a ton of space for the entire family! We had no issues the entire time we were there and enjoyed the entire stay. Hosts were available for any questions or issues! An item people may want to know is the house is ran off storage tank water so they ask to be mindful of water use, not an issue for us but a good fact to know. All in All we loved the stay and we would love a return trip when time allows!
