Cabin is perfect for 2

The pull out couch was uncomfortable, the bed was just ok. TV was unusable because mounted up far too high. There was no regular Coffee for the coffee maker. I was not able to communicate with the owner during our stay, it was unclear where we could find the bedding for pull out bed. We made do with the extra sheets for the main bed though. No pillow except for ripped ones under the bed.

Our time in the little cabin

Great cabin. Great for a couple. Our 6 foot son was too big for the tiny pullout but managed. Location is close to Crane which was the reason for our trip.

CU Winter Graduation

This was a great stay for my husband and adult son to attend our youngest son's graduation. This little cabin was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The shower had great hot water. There is a great little airport diner across the street for breakfast or lunch.

Great little cabin for two!

This is the perfect spot to stay for a couple. It is cozy and clean and close to campus and places to shop/eat/etc. The main bed is in the open loft, and there is a small futon in the living room area. However having 3 people in the house when my son was with us was a little cramped. The host was extremely responsive and check in/out was very easy. My only suggestion (which I messaged her as well) was to perhaps have some toiletries available for people who might forget them (like I did :)) Overall this was a great stay and we would love to be back!

Clean, comfortable small cabin

The cabin is of recent and modern construction, private, quiet, and quite comfortable for a couple. The only things to be aware of are that the bedroom is up a set of somewhat steep steps and the bathroom is downstairs. Also the kitchen is basic, good for making coffee and reheating things in the microwave, but not for any real cooking. Would definitely stay there again.
