It was a great place! We really enjoyed staying up high and looking down on the river. We watched a Momma moose and her twins every morning and evening. We really liked that it was outside city limits so we could drive our SXS to/from the property. It’s also just a short ride into town so we could get our daily funnel cake! There was plenty of parking for our 2 trucks/trailers. First night was sort of warm for our liking, but the cool mountain air through the open windows cooled us off nicely. Had one hiccup and hosts acted quickly. Easy to get a hold of. Looking forward to staying here again.

This place is incredible. Besides the house being beautiful, the location just outside of Silverton on CR 2 which makes it perfect for SXS riding the Alpine loop. You can pull out the driveway and head up in to the mountains. Also the parking is great, we parked a 30' gooseneck for the UTV's plus truck and smaller car with plenty of room to unload the trailer, etc.

Wonderful place to stay

This house was perfect for our two families to spent time together. The views are spectacular in all directions. Things were as described. Beds were quite comfortable which is truly my priority. Check in and check out was simple and easy. Hosts were responsive. This place was enjoyed by all of us. The area is amazing and we'll be back to explore more.

Beautiful and thoughtfully designed house in Silverton. Perfect location on road to Animus Forks. Communicative owners and every detail attended to.One constructive criticism would be to add black-out shades to the bedrooms.Thanks Joel for an amazing stay. We’ll be back next near!

Amazing property!

This is probably the nicest property in Silverton. Very nice secluded cabin with only a few minutes drive to downtown Silverton. Right off the river. Easy access to everything in Silverton including Silverton Mountain. Very nice inside. All comfortable beds and an amazing deck. Check in process was seamless and the property manager is very responsive. We plan to stay here again!

More than you expect!

The pictures do not do this place justice. There are amazing views from every window and if you’re not looking out the window, the house decor is amazing too! Bonus: there’s a mama moose and her twins across the river. We spotted them several times during our week there. This is a truly wonderful place to stay!

It is exceptionally clean. The property managers are helpful and made the check-in process very easy. Above all, the views are unbelievable!

Best ever

We’ve been vacationing in Colorado for 10 plus years. We have agreed this is the best house house so far. If you want a true mountain retreat with 360 degree views and all the comforts of home this is the one. Not including the decor and furniture is spot on. Will definitely be back.

Best place ever!

This home is absolutely beautiful! The inside is decorated so incredibly. It is such a unique place- my husband wants their designer contact information, because it is truly a dream inside! We rarely left the home during our stay, because it was just too awesome. The views from the porch were breathtaking- autumn colors in full swing. We saw moose walking down to the water one morning and it was such a cool experience. The fire pit outside was much enjoyed. I can't think of a single improvement for this home. It was our favorite rental during our 3 week Colorado elopement/honeymoon. Thank you for the great stay!

Lux Mountain Getaway

It is obvious that so much thought went into creating this space. The setting is amazing to start, then layer in all the little details that make this place stand out for me. Conveniently located not too far from gas, restaurants and groceries. The exterior of the home is beautiful, set above the Animas River on the outskirts of this historic town. Stepping inside we explored all of the thoughtfully designed space from the decor to the fixtures in every room. This looks like a model home but includes all of the things you need to live. Even the salt and pepper shakers were gawked over:). Loved the side table books, fluffy rugs,and creative use of items like the metal hands for towel holder in bathroom. Living Room and Bedroom space was comfortable with lighting options galore. Washer, dryer were convenient feature as well as the electric shades for sunny days- those windows were great for star gazing at night. Lots of closet space and plenty of kitchen supplies. Highly recommended- we plan to return.
