About the host
Hosted by Randia Rule
Welcome! We're a Colorado family who loves the outdoors and enjoys sharing one of our family's most treasured places with others. This home has been part of our family since my grandparents built it in the 1960s. Keeping this family home for future generations was important to us, and sharing it with guests has made that possible. We restored and updated the home ourselves with the help of family, and we hope you'll enjoy making memories here just as much as our family has over the years.
Why they chose this property
We love Dolores because it offers the perfect mix of small-town charm and world-class outdoor recreation. You can walk to Dolores River Park, local restaurants, breweries, and shops, or spend the day exploring Mesa Verde National Park, McPhee Reservoir, Phil's World, the Dolores River, and the San Juan National Forest. Whether you're hiking, mountain biking, fishing, boating, or simply enjoying the scenery, there's something here in every season. One of our favorite hidden gems is EsoTerra Ciderworks, an internationally award-winning cidery just minutes away that crafts incredible ciders using heirloom fruit from historic Southwest Colorado orchards. Whether you're here to relax or explore, Dolores is a wonderful place to slow down and experience the best of Southwest Colorado.
What makes this property unique
A thoughtfully restored family home where guests can relax, reconnect, and experience the best of Southwest Colorado.
Our goal wasn't to create a typical vacation rental—it was to preserve the warmth and character of a home that has brought our family together for generations while adding the modern comforts today's travelers appreciate. From handcrafted touches and comfortable gathering spaces to one of the larger private yards in town, we've tried to create a place that's as enjoyable to come home to as the adventures waiting outside.
Over the years, many guests have shared that they felt comfortable and welcomed here. Whether you're exploring the mountains, spending time on the water, or simply enjoying a quiet evening around the fire pit, we hope you'll leave with wonderful memories of your own.
