We enjoyed our family vacation here! It was affordable and nice. We especially enjoyed only one TV being available in the living room. Our 3 boys didn’t pack any electronics and it was nice to unplug and spend quality family time together! The rooms were nice, it was clean! Worth every single penny!

This was a four unit Condo. We had a lower room. You could literally walk out the back door to the Rio Grand river 30 feet away. Room was well stocked with plenty of room. Owner lives next door and was very nice. Was surprised that the room had a full size washer and dryer. Only items we had concern with was the loud furnace and foot traffic noise from above unit. We would rent this unit again though.

Home sweet home!

Our condo was clean and had everything we needed to cook and wash our clothes. The Rio Grand river is right out your back door and just the sound is amazing. The condo is right across the street from revolution rail and accesse to utv/ATV trails without having to trailer to a place to unload as long as you get your flag and sticker from the visitor center. It's also close the the local liquor store.The manager Beau was very friendly and suggested areas to explore and made sure we were enjoying our stay very nice guy. Will definitely be staying here again.

right on river

the best part is the location. Right on the river and right off the highway like right off Super easyto find. Needs a bit of upkeep. The furnace filter was very dirty there was dust in heating vents and everyone in my party was sneezing and sneezing. Beds comfortable.

Great home base for wolf creek

Just what we needed for Wolf Creek. Host was communicative, place was as described. Our only complaint was that the full sized mattress in the bunk room is unusable—even our youngest kid could feel every bar through the mattress. BUT, the sofa bed was fine, so we still had plenty of beds. (I just recommend replacing that one mattress. It’s brutal. )

Just Ok

This place was a disappointment to us. It was extremely basic. It is located in a bit of a “rustic” area and the place was very basic. The 2 large dread animal heads were seemingly out of place. They took over the living area. Seems like this place needs a good update. The FP did not work, the carpeting is old and the place is a bit dreary. Perhaps, this os best suited for hunters or fishermen. The lake right outside was a nice touch but we were there to ski. Overall, I would say it is overpriced for what it is.
