Magical mystery tour
Lovely stay -- unbeatable location, trippy home in the best way! Colorful with so much character and many curiosities! Beds were comfortable and kitchen was well stocked with essentials for meal prep. A few steps to the sweet downtown with views of a mesa from the front of the house. Cydney was a very welcoming and responsive host. The baby in our bunch did fine (he's newly crawling) but would not recommend for travelers with toddlers that are walking unless gates are provided for the 2 staircases.The upstairs bathroom is old skool with a claw tub/shower combo that takes a little getting used to through trial and error. Overall we appreciated the care and spirit of this beautiful home. If you are open to something creative and mystical, this house is the ticket. Thank you!

Beautiful, Great Location
Artistic and eclectic home. Nice porch overlooking the mountains. Owner very nice and accommodating, she occasionally works in office below home. Home instructions could be clearer. Maybe a book with ideas, restaurants, take out, food stores included. Check out process instructions would be helpful. Overall, trip was amazing! Thank you Cydney.
