Nice stay for rest and relaxation

This was the perfect place to stay for a few days to get away from the city. While we felt very remote at the cabin, it was nice to be within 30 minutes of a couple of towns that had all the amenities we needed.

Beautiful place!

This is our second time staying at the property and we loved it again. It's isolated, quiet, plenty of space, it has everything for a lovely vacation with kids, even a small kayak my son used. We enjoyed it and highly recommend if you are looking for a very peaceful and beautiful vacation.

Great stay in Howard, CO

We had a great time at this lovely home and property. The views are amazing and it is located in a quiet neighborhood. Neighbor's cows came to visit and a herd of deer were in the yard quite a bit. The house was very comfortable and well stocked. We would definitely stay again if visiting the area.

Perfect seculsion surrounded by nature

We thoroughly enjoyed our time (especially my retriever) on the large back deck soaking up sun while only looking at trees and grass and water instead of other homes. This was a great mountain getaway. I would love to visit again.

The view, the views and the view! Perfect. Winter getaway. The husky was able to run around the fenced yard and play in the snow. It was wonderfully quiet and perfect to spend some time with loved ones. I can only imagine the beauty in the summer and fall.
