A very nice cabin with excellent amenities. We were impressed with the attention to detail of everything. We found the cabin to be in very good condition and very COMFORTABLE. From the linens to the kitchen utensils, it was well furnished making for a very enjoyable stay. I would have appreciated a grill, but it was not too inconvenient. The cabin is a bit off the beaten path, but it was easy to get to where we needed to be. The evenings were enjoyable. A quiet area and a great view of the stars. We saw a wide variety of wildlife. Our communication with the host was great - prompt and informative.

Comfortable cabin nestled in Los Ojos. We visited with our two puppers and the cabin was very welcoming to our family.
