Five year anniversary trip

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property and the location is perfect. Just close enough to Monarch, but just far enough away. The view is amazing. The owners of the house are very accommodating and everything is just like it is described.

Amazing home!

We loved our stay. The owners gave amazing directions to get to the home in case we lost reception and once we arrived everything was perfect for our stay. Check-in and check-out was super smooth. The kitchen is well stocked in kitchen supplies and everything you could need to spend days in this beautiful location. Lots of games and places to relax throughout the home. Close to town and the views were amazing!

Even more amazing in person

This was our second stay in this beautiful home. The view from the deck is absolutely breathtaking. The owners are very responsive though we didn’t need to contact them but once because the property is perfectly created for guests. We LOVE the location, the house, the hiking, the views, the town. Just a wonderful family vacation.

Amazing!

This beautiful home is in a gorgeous location with views that go on forever. We have been made welcome there for the last four or five years and look forward to each year. The area has a multitude of hiking & riding trails for everyone. You can begin your day with coffee on the deck & end it there with cocktails. The view is breathtaking!

We were to excited and decided to add a few extra days to our annual vacation with family/friends this year! The morning and evening views from the deck are always my favorite! The house is always inviting. Thanks Jamie & Jill for sharing this beautiful home with us for the 4th year.

Annual Getaway

This home never disappoints! It’s clean, amazing views & the property owners are very accommodating. Six of us stayed here with ample room for everyone. Began the day with coffee on the deck & ended it on the deck watching the sun set. We’ve stayed here 3 years & will stay again

Awesome

Came for a short stay celebrating a birthday. Kids came, May snow came (17” total over the weekend). We weren’t planning on snow, but still made the best of it. Still enjoyed sight-seeing and the BV area (disc golfing, actual golfing, indoor wall climbing, shopping, cool restaurants) We will visit again as this has quickly become a favorite place for us.

Awesome home and views

Place is described perfectly. It as a wonderful central point for our day motorcycles trips. Would have been a little nicer if road was not graveled, but that was minor. We had 3 bucks stop by one night to feed on the grounds it was pretty cool. The cabin was just gorgeous and the owners were very responsive to our needs. All 6 of us would highly recommend staying here. Thanks, Down

Warm, inviting, beautiful home with spectacular views!

This home is even more inviting, warm and beautifully situated than the pictures show. Communication with the host was flawless. Directions were easy to find. The accommodations were perfect. The kitchen was well stocked and the nicest I have ever stayed in for selection of cooking ware. The bedrooms were comfortable and quiet. The bathroom in the master suite has a gorgeous view of the mountains. The location is close to Bueno Vista. Easy access to trails, restaurants, white water rafting on the Arkansas River. But the biggest treat is the views from the porch overlooking Mount Princeton and Chalk Cliffs. It was a perfect location and we hope to visit again soon- and would not consider staying any where else!
