My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location in Redstone on the Crystal River was fantastic. Lots of cute shops and a nice restaurant in walking distance. The room was basic, but clean and had everything we needed to prepare meals there. There was an issue with the plumbing but Nicole was extremely responsive and had the problem solved before we returned at the end of the day. The views from the back patio were spectacular! Perfect for a couples getaway.

Nice little spot for a quiet stay

Overall it was ok. There is a strong light outside and a screen on the door that allows light to pass through at night that we had to cover so we can sleep. Also, the internet was off must of our stay which was ok for us, but in case of emergency may had been an issue. Overall a good stay.

Weekend Getaway

They Condo was like a hotel room with other units above and on both sides. There was tranfer of noise from the other units most of the night. The unit was very clean. However the heat never got above 60 deg. even with the T stat set to 70. Most of the time the the temperature was in the 50's during the night. There was virtually no hot water for showering. Had to take cold showers both days. The induction cooktop did not work at all. Was not able to cook any planned meals meals.

Great getaway

Really lovely studio apartment-style accommodations in Redstone, Colorado. Perfect for the solo or duo traveler. Apartment was clean upon arrival, check-in was easy and communication with Nicole (host) was efficient, never taking her more than an hour to respond. Loved that this place was right on the Crystal River and had a shared (modern) firepit, picnic table and chairs where you could enjoy the views at any time of day. Would most definitely stay here again!

Great little place. Beautiful with the river in the back and the fire pit and seating… perfect for great evenings! No AC in the units and it was warm the day we checked in. Nicole was super helpful and very quick to respond and make accommodations and get us a couple of fans! It cooled down in the evening so didn’t really need AC.

Redstone and these Villas are amazing

We loved our unit number five on the end upstairs with a view of the Crystal river. Our studio apartment was perfectly furnished to be spacious and modern and yet so comfortable. There is so much to do for hiking and swimming in the river and the town itself is a gem. Thank you so much Nicole and we will be back. Thank you so much!
