A jewel. Nancy and Tom were wonderful hosts and the cabin was just what we were looking for. It was a beautiful location, off the beaten path, close to so many things we wanted to do, and the cabin was just perfect. We had the most wonderful time there and hope we can come back again soon.

Perfect, relaxing retreat

What a beautiful home and setting for a rental. Every day was a pleasure with such a variety of birds to enjoy and views of the local mountains and lakes from every part of the house. We looked forward to watching the activity of nature in the morning and seeing the beautiful sunsets each evening.Additionally, the house was equipped with high quality utensils, pans. Laundry room had everything you needed for washing your clothes. We have never been in a rental where you could see the pride the owners had in making sure their guests felt like they were in their own home.We hiked and explored the local areas. Even though it was a very busy time to visit, we were able to find remote roads where we were able to enjoy the beautiful wildflowers and stunning views.The owners greeted us when we arrived and helped us when we had questions about the area. We are grateful that they shared their beautiful home with us and we hope to come back again. Craig and Teresa Fife, Ivins, UtahJuly 6-11, 2025

Wonderful stay!

We really enjoyed our stay, it was one of the highlights of our trip! The house was clean and comfortable, and we loved having dinner on the deck overlooking the meadow and mountains, watching the sunset (Zuma Foods has great prepared food to go). It was also a great location for going to Mesa Verde and Telluride.

Wonderful place to stay!

We wanted to get away for a quiet week and it was exactly what was needed. A beautiful, comfortable, well-kept home on a very large piece of land far away from the noise and commotion of every day life. Wonderful scenery from every side; trails to hike, and stars to watch ... wildlife, it has it all. Mostly blessed peace! Thank you!

Second visit as enchanting as the first

This was our second visit to Enchanted Retreat and it was like coming back to enjoy an old friend. We love it here. We purposely set our intentions on finding peace, solitude and relaxation. Nancy and Tom created a space, a retreat where all this is possible with the luxury of a fine built custom home on BEAUTIFUL acreage! It is truly a magical place. One must experience it to understand. Warmth, love and kindness is ever present.

Fantastic Property

We wholeheartedly agree with all of the previous five star ratings! Truly the Enchanted Retreat was designed, built, and furnished by craftsmen and artists. It is immaculately clean and maintained. Because it is on 95 acres it is so peaceful and quiet with a magnificent night sky. We are already planning our next trip.

Beautiful, serene home

Enchanted retreat was a wonderful place for our anniversary get-away. The home is designed with large windows and scenic views of the mountains, is impeccably clean, and has almost anything that a guest could need. Nancy and Tom were great hosts that accommodated us with a late night check-in after our numerous flight delays, and promptly addressed a mechanical issue. Overall we loved our stay and hope to be able to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy and Tom Boone

Host profile image
I'm from California, my husband is from Minnesota, we both lived in Arizona for many years before moving to Colorado. We love the mountains, meadows, forest and lakes that surround our home and love to share this peaceful land with other nature loving people. We look forward to meeting you and having you as our guests.

Why they chose this property

After living in this area of Colorado for many years, in 1999 we purchased this 95 acres at Summit Lake to build our home. We love this property because it's close to town, yet has the privacy and the peacefulness of the country. My husband, a home builder for 38 yrs, completed our home in 2002. Wildlife viewing is another favorite past time, as this land has deer, elk, fox, coyote, racoon, blue heron, eagles, hawks and Canadian geese, just to name a few.
Our Enchanted Retreat was completed by my husband in July 2013. Come enjoy the beauty of this land, walk our private trails, sit in nature and renew your spirit.

What makes this property unique

This is the perfect spot for your vacation or personal retreat. Enchanted Retreat is a first class accommodation, surrounded by 360 degrees of breath taking views of mountains, lakes, and wild life. A great way to experience the beauty and mystic of the southwest.

Fall asleep to the hum of natures finest under a starlit night, impeded by no city noises or unnatural lights. Wake to the sounds of the land coming alive! And so close to so many attractions and destinations. Fresh air, new perspective! What more could you ask for!
