Perfection!

This house was exactly what we were looking for to spend our family vacation. Private, relaxing and truly pet friendly. It was cute and cozy. Plenty of space to lounge both inside and out. The hosts were great- very welcoming and responsive. Check in was a breeze. A short drive away from all Canon city has to offer. I would stay again in a heartbeat!
