Great Place for a Couple
The property was very clean, and nicely appointed. The living room couch was very comfortable (which I often find is not the case in other rentals). My husband and I enjoyed our stay, and would recommend the place. No charge for our pet, which we appreciated.

We loved the Fortress! Very clean, cozy the location is great. The hosts were amazing as well. My dog really loved the yard. having canyon park and walking trails across the street was way convenient. I think we found our new favorite place to stay when we do visit again.

Great place to stay
This is a newly remodeled, clean space with plenty of room. We stayed just one night, so we didn’t have a chance to use the well equipped kitchen. The bathroom is spacious with a very nice shower. The bed was comfortable with nice linens. The location is great and there’s a lovely view. I look forward to staying here again.
