Transition

We stayed here during a very stressful transition in our lives. The owners did a PHENOMENAL job at providing comfortable accommodations, working with our additional needs, and just being kind and supportive. It was the best stay-experience we have ever had.

Nice, cozy getaway.

This place is perfect for any folks wanting to get a relaxing stay but still have a closeness to the city. I was close to enough to visit the Space Center, Monte Sano(great place to hike and play disc golf), check out the comic book stores, and have a variety of restaurants. Next visit, I will eat at some of the more local establishments near Gurley.

Great little Quonset hut out in the country with beautiful views and it's only take about 7 miles through some beautiful country roads to get to a Walmart, Culvers, etc. Very comfortable place to stay with plenty of amenities; just bring your bag (and food) because they have supplied you with everything you could need during your stay. The furniture especially the bed was very comfortable. It was very peaceful and sitting out on the patio in comfortable rockers was nice and relaxing just enjoying nature and watching the wildlife. We will definitely stay again if in the area.

Cozy getaway in the mountains

This house is out a bit, which is exactly what we like. Sit on the patio and you get a fantastic view of the mountains. Go for a walk and put your legs to the test. The hosts left a great welcome gift, and were wonderful to talk to. Highly recommend staying here...

Wonderful mountain retreat

The hut was very comfy and clean, and Crystal was very responsive to any communication. Directions to home and to get in were very clear, as well as house rules, which are relaxed. Crystal even provided some snacks, drinks, and other items that were so thoughtful. The view from the hut is amazing and the location is quiet, peaceful and relaxing.We would definitely stay again.

Quonset Magic

This property is a hidden gem. The location is beautiful and peaceful, surrounded by views of the mountains, and the owners are some of the kindest people I have met. They stocked us up with snacks, local goodies from the area, and maintain a level of top notch quality rarely seen these days.Whether we are coming back for a short visit or staying a while, Ill be checking to see if this is available from now on.
