It was not at all what we thought it was from the pictures, but it was one of the most quiet places I've ever stayed. Peaceful! It offers incredible proximity to Blue Mesa. The staff was some of the nicest I ever come across and very helpful. Overall, I'd definitely stay again in the future.
The bedrooms are very small. No room to walk around the beds. The screens have holes - the one in our bedroom was taped up. There were lots of small bugs on the window ledge. It was ok for one night.

Older property, trailer more than a cottage and dated. Only a window unit that was not large enough to cool the whole place. Being hot in CO when paying to stay at what seemed online like a new place was frustrating. Tub was only about 18 inches wide and missing drain plug. Shower worked but you were bumping the wall and pushing the curtain out the whole time as it as too narrow even for a child.
No baking pans. Had a couple of skillets and one small pot/pan but we bought cookie dough for our anniversary only to not have anything to cook them in.
Did have nice washer dryer room and small pool outside along with a small game room. We did not check out the indoor pool.
Pools close at 8 PM which is frustrating when you are there to explore the area and wanted to come back and swim later when it was so hot (heat wave for the area and way too small ac on the cottage).
Place was fairly clean but not the details---like a teen had cleaned it or someone in a hurry. Crumbs on the chair seats, sinks grungy in places, most of floor clean, and such.
Honestly, I think if the ac had been big enough to chill the trailer, it would have been so much better!
The staff was very nice and gave me a full refund because Expedia failed to mention that you need to supply your own sheets and towels. I was told that Expedia has been asked several times to mention this but have failed to do so.
