We welcome you to stay at this relaxing rural home when visiting Western Colorado!

Situated on over five acres between Silt and Rifle, this relaxing getaway is surrounded by open space and beautiful views! Located less than five minutes from public hunting (Area 42) and public Colorado River fishing access, it is the perfect home base for the outdoor enthusiast. Alternatively, a five minute drive to I-70 will find you centrally located among the many activities of Glenwood Springs, Rifle and Grand Junction. State parks, hot springs, skiing and wineries are all only a short drive away.

The bedroom, privately located on the lower level, is nicely furnished with a queen bed, sitting area and writing desk. The living room furniture connects together to make a full size bed, or several air mattresses are provided for a third guest.

The well equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare a home cooked meal. An outdoor gas grill is also available.

Start your day with a cup of warm coffee on the porch while enjoying the beautiful mountain views; and end it by watching a movie on the 65" television or gathered around the fire pit, reminiscing about your day's adventures.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW: This rental is one of three newly renovated units located on a five acre parcel of land between New Castle and Silt, Colorado. Each unit has its own bedroom(s), bathroom, kitchen, dining room and living room. In addition, each unit has its own designated outdoor space including porch, outdoor gas grill, yard, fire ring and parking.

All of the units have separate entrances and no shared indoor spaces. However, the units are adjoining, so there is some potential for noise (although we do ask all guests to please be mindful of one another by observing quiet time between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m.). You may also see others enjoying their designated outdoor area on the property during your stay.

The owners occupy one unit for part of the year and will gladly offer any assistance. The other unit is another vacation rental. Larger groups are welcome to rent both units, which will accommodate up to eight (8) guests. Please inquire if interested.

AMENITY LIMITATIONS: • Our rural WiFi speeds may be a bit slower than you are used to if you are from a larger city, and the cellular service can be extremely spotty. • This home does not have a dishwasher or central air conditioning. However, a portable air conditioner is located in the living room during the hottest months and a floor fan is provided year round. • Iron and ironing board also provided upon request.
