Beautiful stay

Cozy cabin by the lake. The location has a fire pit and seating area facing the water. It is a beautiful drive to our other activities in Durango and Cortez. The location is a close drive to grocery stores and restaurants.

Great location, cozy property!

Very welcoming hosts and an awesome property. I wish we could have stayed longer. We mostly used it as a place to sleep in between quick visits to Mesa Verde and Telluride. I would book this location again in a heartbeat.

Wonderful little cabin

This cute little cabin was our first stop while on our way to Salt Lake City, and it was perfect! We stopped in Dolores to ride a specific trail out of Rico on our dirtbikes, and the cabin was very private making us feel very secure with all of our gear laying out! It was a short stay for us but it was lovely.

Beautiful, clean, and relaxing!

We loved that this cabin was outside of town located next to the property owners for safety. The owners were such a joy to meet! The cabin was decorated so nicely, clean, and had everything we needed. We loved sitting on the back porch watching the humming birds and beautiful scenery!

Comfy Cabin-Amazing Hosts

This was the perfect little cabin for us and the hosts were so nice! We were visiting our son in Dolores and Wendy and Paul have a spot that is like home away from home, which made it so nice to be able to have some great family time with our son. The outdoor seating area was perfect for evening gathering and enjoying the gorgeous sunsets!! Highly, highly recommend!!

Small cozy cabin with a great view of the lake. We had everything we needed including a nice kitchen to cook meals and a cozy firepit at night. The hosts were tremendously helpful and accomodating. They even shared some fresh veggies from their garden

Amazing place to stay

Wendy's place is a slice of heaven right on the lake! The space is so private with a full kitchen (which came in so handy) and so much outdoor seating to overlook the lake. We loved watching the hummingbirds in the morning as we had our coffee. Great location to get to surrounding areas (Silverton, Durango, Telluride). Wendy and her husband are so kind. Looking forward to hopefully staying again sometime.

Went for a small weekend trip for my 12 year anniversary and my Daughters 3rd bday. Place was clean, warm and fully stocked. Easy to access and not to far from the city. We woke up with the most beautiful fluffy snow out the large windows. It's was the best.

Cozy, relaxing and charming cottage

This was our 2nd stay and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously. No pretentions, just what we expected for a cottage on the reservoir in the country. We had everything we needed to make lovely meals. The cottage is close to several hiking areas and ruins. Super host and hostess that are available when needed.

Peaceful, lovely cabin

Our hosts were the best. Bed was really comfortable, kitchen fully stocked and views were terrific. There is ac on the property although the description does not state this. I must add the ac works well. The location is tranquil and the photos on line are exactly how the cabin looks. It is decorated delightfully. The local grocery store is convenient to the cabin and has all sorts of great local and organic fruits and vegetables.

A perfect haven

My friend was visiting and I had the good fortune to book this perfect cottage for their stay. Wendy has created the most picturesque oasis, full of everything you might need, and is such an accommodating host. She went above and beyond to be sure that my fragrance-free friend would be able to stay in the home without an allergic reaction. I can't say enough good things about the experience, and wouldn't hesitate to book again when friends and family are in town!

Nice area of the country

The lake the cabin looks over is a mud puddle due to drought conditions. This is no fault of the owner but disclosing this information might have changed our minds about staying there. McPhea reservoir is close by and beautiful. There were fresh eggs in the refrigerator from the chickens on the property which was a nice touch and appreciated. The owner's house is right next to the cabin so the cabin did not feel private but the cabin was very clean and cozy. The cleanup to-do list was a bit much considering the price per night to rent this property.

Somwhat disappointing

That picture of the lake next to the cabin: bogus. Drought has reduced it to a puddle half a mile away. The owner is not responsible for that. She is responsible for the picture. A single comfortable chair inside, because there is no room for a second. Not so good for two people. Watch TV from bed. Again, uncomfortable. It's a nice setting with comfortable outdoor seating, but overall not sweet enough to justify the price.

Apartment was as advertised and was in a great location. However, the check-in process was a train wreck. Prior to the trip I clarified that the check-in time was 2 pm as opposed to 2 am as advertised in the listing. I was assured for weeks of the 2 pm check-in time. Imagine my surprise when I went to the key pickup location at 2:45 and was told the key wasn’t there. For over an hour and a half I spent time on the phone with the apartment rental company. First they couldn’t reach the cleaner that had the keys and asked us to call back. After waiting for 30 minutes, we were told the cleaner would be at the pickup location in 15 minutes. We waited another 30 minutes and the cleaner had not shown up. At that point, we were told to go to the apartment address where the cleaning lady would provide the keys. Thankfully our Uber driver was willing to wait with us or we would have been stranded for over an hour in a not-so-great area. So that pretty much ruined the first day. 2 of the 3 showers drained slowly and it would have been nice to have manuals for the appliances (thank you Google) and a 2nd set of keys as there were 4 of us. Requests went unnoticed as communication was non-existent until checkout. This could’ve easily been an excellent stay.
