Waste of $1700

Picked this rental for a large group and the whole group had to help clean the complete outside of the property in order to have a small wedding ceremony. Everything outside on the covered porches were covered in dirt,cobwebs and dust and bird crap. .Some windows were inoperable unles you held the mechanism in place to crank the window.The fact that the owners dont make sure the property is freshly cleaned and the grass mowed sent red flags instantly. The bridge in the pictures that was supposed to be the centerpiece for the after weddings pictures was not the one shown and the email said that other parts of the property would be accessible but all the gates were closed.The house is nice but not worth the money

Property was nice, it would have been nice to be able to fish in the pond, but it was a beautiful place overall. We would definitely rent this home again. Plenty of room for our family. Beautiful inside and out.

Amazing

We had 11 adults staying at the house..plenty of beds and bedding.. We were there for a golf tournament, it was so convenient, only about 7 min away from the beautiful Conquistidor Golf Course.. Also on minutes away from the lovely little town of Dolores. This house was everything and more!!! Hopefully we will be back next year and are able to vrbo this same home.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The house was great. Location is close to the things we wanted to. The only negative is there is no air conditioning. We enjoyed our stay very much. Thank you.

Beautiful, quiet, rustic home. Our time ended too soon. We had a very nice relaxing time. It fit our needs perfect, with plenty of room. Loved the pond and enjoyed hanging outdoors. Gina was quick to answer and help with questions.

Hunting lodge for a non-hunter friends trip

This property is exactly as it looks in the pictures. It’s spacious, property owners were responsive and the master bathroom was very nice. Big and well stocked kitchen. There are a lot of different seating areas and a great game room. One thing we didn’t realize was the outdoor space - we brought some lawn chairs and played yard games outside as well. A lot of taxidermy in the home and photos of trophy hunts. It’s an additional home on the owner’s working ranch - more of a farm house than mountain house. Overall, we enjoyed the stay.

Handy for everything we wanted to see.

This is a very nice property. Everything was nice and a great fit for our family. We enjoyed the lake and the pool table. It had nice appliances and comfortable beds. It only has one draw back, it does not have central air conditioning. That is probably alright for that part of the country for most months, but not for July. Very close to Mesa Verde, Durango, Silverton,Telluride and National Parks in Utah.

Great spot!

We had a great time at this house. Plenty of room for our 2 families. The grounds and pond are really fun. Billiards, horseshoes, feeding the fish. Good times all around!

Beautiful and spacious home!

This house is as advertised. It's beautiful, with lots of space. We were a group of 8 and had plenty of room. Josh and Gina were amazing hosts. They were quick to respond and even cleared the driveway for us after a night of snow. This was our first trip to Colorado, in hopes of a white Christmas and we were not disappointed! We definitely plan on coming back for summer fun! Thanks again for sharing your home with us. So many wonderful memories were made!

The house was very nice. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the bedrooms worked out grea

The pond was fun for the kids to fed the fish. We enjoyed pool competitions in the evening. The house is close to grocery stores, gas, restaurants, and Indian cultural centers. We also went swimming at the reservoir, but it was cold! The house is only a little over 30 minutes from the Mesa Verde entrance. So it was easy getting into the park each day. Good location and good house.

Fantastic!

We had a fantastic stay. The house was just as pictured, clean, and quiet. It was plenty big enough to hold our party of seven. The beds were very comfortable. Gina was easy to work with and responded quickly to my emails. She even made sure the house had ESPN for my husband to watch football. We visited the Anasazi Museum and Mesa Verde during our stay. The house was a perfect location. I'm not sure why the previous review said the lake was unusable because that was our favorite part of the house. We loved feeding the fish every morning and night. (At least 15 trout at a time.) There was a fishing boat with life jackets provided that we spent hours playing on the pond with. We also brought our own paddle boards and life jackets. My kids spent hours racing, splashing, and relaxing on the pond. It was absolutely gorgeous to sit on the pond and watch the sunset. Fantastic! We hope to visit again and stay longer next time!!

Nice location, close to Mesa Verde

The house is lovely, well furnished and the beds were super comfortable. The lake was not as we expected, not usable to boat or fish, a little disappointing for the teenagers we had with us. Josh was very quick to fix the minor problem we had with the ice maker.

Perfect Place, no complaints from anyone.

This is an awesome property, a great gathering place for our family. Lots of room outside of the grand kids to run around and play, for the adults to relax. the pond, grass and the house were terrific and space for all, no crowding. A very quiet area away from it all, yet close to town made it very convenient for what ever desires we may have had. The owners did a great job of setting it up with everything we may have needed, wanting for nothing. If our travels bring us back that direction, this will be the place we will stay, it may become a family tradition.

Beautiful setting. Very clean and comfortable.

Brought my adult children and teenage grandchildren along with one infant. They all loved it! We had preplanned outings each day and they all wish we had one more day to stay and just enjoy the property. We had taken the teenagers river rafting and they all preferred paddling around the pond in the paddle boat at the property over the river rafting trip. There were plenty of nice TV's that never got turned on. We played pool, chess, and just visited out on the cozy lawn chairs. We all loved our stay!
