clean but unclean
was very nice and loved the views, the road up to the location is not very good, the cabin was nice however we fought ants inside the house the entire time, when we notified the owner, just told us to spray some vinegar around , we left the property early.

Loved It
We really love this place. Definitely remote, a fun windy Road up the mountain to get to the location but once we were there, the views were amazing! We had everything we needed, and we love the peace and quietness of the location. Plenty of room for our family, And the best part was sitting out in the deck In the morning, and clearly anytime of the day… Absolutely beautiful

Cozy
Clean, well organized, and well appointed home. The AWD/4WD vehicle requirement is not a joke - the home is at the end of a steep unpaved road.

Awesome Place
Loved the property and all the amenities included with the place. Will say that you most likely need a vehicle with 4-wheel drive capabilities for the driveway up the side of the mountain with sharp switchbacks. Not necessarily a dangerous driveway but without the proper vehicle you are not making it to the cabin.

Road leading to rental "insane". Couldn't drive up, owner used snow side-by-side to get us up to home. Stuck at house no access to our car. Couldn't walk down mountain because of snow with luggage. ( 1 mile where we had to leave our car) Large binder with Rules by property owner. Notes everywhere to remind you.

Great place!
Based on prior reviews, we prepared for the worst with the driveway. We got an AWD SUV and had no trouble at all. Can't say what it would be like in heavy rain or snow, but it was fine for our stay. Typical mountain road. The house was great. Clean, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen. Patio was wonderful with nice grill, gas fire pit, beautiful view. Highly recommend.

Pros: Good views, big house Cons: Horror movie type entrance pathway to/from the property. If you are a tourist just looking for a nice mountain/tree views in colorado, there are lots of safer options. If you are not a local used to mountains, and you show up at this address after dark or during bad weather, you may not make it back in one piece. The 'driveway' entrance is a one way half mile dastardly stretch of inclined rocky/muddy road on the cliff that zigzags without railings on the side. And at night you may not realize how close to the edge you are as it's totally dark. A few inches here and there and you and your car will fall off. Some of this maybe alluded to in fine print but this should be the very first thing in big letters potential customers should have been made aware of so they could plan and decie appropriately. There's no other alternate entry to the property. We unfortunately drove in from Silverton at night, barely survived the entry. Slept, and left the very next afternoon because we had a late night flight to catch the day after. So even though we booked and paid for 2 days, we only stayed there for 12 hours. There was no way we would drive from there at night. The house was decently kept but water from the taps would keep shutting off. Also didn't care for pages and pages of cleaning instructions. We are on vacation to enjoy and relax, not survive and clean and wondering if the water will be there or not.

Beautiful mountain escape
We loved this very comfortable mountain escape. Wonderful views. It is well appointed and includes lots food staples to ease worries about cooking. The road up to it is fine for an SUV but if you bring your sports car you are going to be walking up that hill.

Elegant mountain retreat
Elegant finishes in this mountain top home. Obviously well loved and maintained. Beautiful views from the deck fire pit, living room, dining room and kitchen. Master bedroom view is stunning. Private, quiet and peaceful. Only sounds are from Fall River 1300 feet below and native birds. We are already planning our next visit!!!

Rough ride. Beautiful house.
We had 2 cars. One was an AWD CX5 and the other was a rented sedan. The drive from the road up to the house is a rutted one lane gravel drive up a steep hill meant for 4WD vehicles. The sedan bottomed out a few times during our stay. Glad it was a rental. Would not recommend to others to attempt with a 2wd car. You get rewarded once you arrive. The house is beautiful in every way. Lots of space for our group of 6 to spread out. Very nicely decorated throughout. Nice deck with great views of the surrounding mountains along with a gas grill and fireplace.
