Beautiful cabin, gorgeous scenery!

My husband and I wanted a quick overnight trip for our anniversary. This place was close to home. It was exactly as listed: private, serene. Host was so accommodating. They let us check in early, and also surprised us with a celebratory bottle of wine. Wonderful experience. I highly recommend and plan to visit again.

Great location! Private and tranquil setting!

Really enjoyed our stay here. It was close to the golf courses we played. Found 2 really good restaurants in downtown West Branch. The property is beautiful, just a short walk to the Rifle River. Very private. Loved sitting out on the patio in the evenings. The inside is very spacious . The bed was comfortable. Highly recommend this place.

Our stay was a good one. Cabin was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. My only complaint I have is the misunderstanding that happened between us and the owners and how the wife was extremely rude and not polite about the situation at all. I felt as if I was a kid and I was getting scolded by an adult. Only way I can describe how we were being talked to by her but the husband was at least trying to be polite to us about the misunderstanding. But other than that it was a decent stay here.

We were so thankful to have such a clean and convenient place to stay while in town for a family wedding. Having to schedule to meet with hosts prior to check in was something we had never experienced and was a mild inconvenience, but Jill and Dan were gracious hosts. There were tiny things that could be repaired (toilet seat is squeaky and sounds like it is about to fall off), and there is evidence of water damage/mold near the shower capsule, but these did not impact our stay — only things the host may not be aware of.
