Nice refuge near civilization

Great place to stay away from the commotion in town. Clean, comfy, peaceful water sound from swift current flowing behind lodges. Hummingbirds all over too.

We loved it! It's in the mountains and there is plenty of seating to enjoy being outdoors. My favorite part was reading beside the river.

It was in good condition, quiet and beautiful. We spent 4 nights. My wife and i enjoyed sitting out by the Big Thompson and walking in the area. One morning there were deer just outside the cabin. Hope to go again sometime.

Warm & cozy

The weather didn't cooperate which of course was not the property's fault. The bed was not very comfortable for me, a bit too firm, so it was tough for me to sleep well. Other than that, it was a great place with good people. We had an amazing trip and this beautiful property was warm & cozy.

Beautiful

Very beautiful view of the river and the sound would put us to sleep at nights. No A/C but you don’t need it because the weather is so mild. We live in South Texas so we didn’t figure it would be that nice first of June.

Less than perfect Stay

We have stayed 3 times. The first and Third trips were difficult as they were upstairs units with 60 degree stair incline 16 stairs. The second trip was a cabin experience which was wonderful. My recent knee surgery made us check out of upstairs room. Just to painful. We stayed 7 nights of the 8 night stay.and forfeited Last day . The facility needs private handicapped parking. We also did not have River access or barbecue pit access. The balcony chairs were beach level chairs. Expensive stay with no amenities.
