Everything was amazing! Thank you Rene!!!

The location was exactly what I was looking for. It had the feeling of seclusion, quick access to the lake, and a quiet setting. The deck was my favorite feature, very peaceful. We had everything we needed inside and out. The communication with the renter was outstanding.

The cabin was just as we hoped. It was a long the lake. We fished, ate outside and saw several deer. Would recommend for anyone to stay here.

It was a great place to stay with everything we needed and we cooked all our meals. I loved the deck with the view of the lake, pines, and aspens. It was a wonderful place to stay and play.

Pretty much as described. Weather was unusually cool. Of course that can't be helped.

Our trip was very special. Rene’ is wonderful! Cabin lovely. Location and view beyond what we expected.

The host Rene is great! Very attentive with great knowledge of the area. She makes check in and out a breeze. The cabin is great, Clean with everything you need plus extras to make you feel at home, courtesy of Rene. The views are spectacular with wildlife and sunrises over the lake. Will definitely go there again.

The process was super easy. The property was wonderful and exactly as advertised.

caught lots of fish enjoyed stay thank you

Rene is an excellent communicator! The amenities were simple but adequate!! We liked the glute work ascending the deer path to the lake!! Grateful the marina boat launch was close b/c ferrying our kayaks along the deer path was a no go! The area was peaceful & beautiful ! The Valkecuto Creek hike is a must!!!!!

Positives: view off back porch was gorgeous! Property was clean and cabin was comfortable. Rene was pleasant and helpful. Negatives: the back porch and the neighbors back porch are adjacent; so close that we could pass things to one another with just a slight stretch and hear each other’s conversations if just above a whisper. Thankfully our neighbors were friendly and respectful, but not what we had in mind. I’m saying that, nothing the owner can do about it, but I just feel potential guest need to be aware in making their plans. (This could be a plus for some)

We had the most wonderful time at the cabin. Beautiful views, amazing fun paddling around on the lake and we loved the hiking and walking trails. Rene' is so helpful and gave us great recommendations for food and entertainment. I could have stayed another month or two. Thanks for sharing your property with us!!

We had constant contact from the property owner from before our arrival throughput our stay. She provided great recommendations for the area. The cabin was perfect and offered an amazing view of the lake.

Beautiful, quiet location, accepts pets which was a big + for us. Cabin is well equipped and beds are comfy for sleeping late! Loved having canoe and kayak at lakeside. Rene is a wonderful host and a great tour guide for the area!

The cabin was very comfortable for 4 adults. Lots of outdoor furniture to sit on with a great view of the lake. Very relaxing and quiet location.

Rene is a GREAT communicator. If you need anything, just ask. She gave us advice before we got there and even let us in about an hour early. (It was raining hard so we didn't really have anywhere to go.) The cabin is FABULOUS! We had two teens, two adults, and a small dog. There is a TON of space inside and on the porch to hang out together or apart. It was really clean when we checked in. Keep in mind this is a cottage on a lake, not a hotel in Manhattan, so it has charm and quirkiness. The bedrooms were comfy with plenty of storage. There are tables inside & outside for meals and hanging out, so you can be inside if the weather turns. (We were there during the afternoon rain season.) The hill down to the water is steep and rocky. There's a trail, but as you get closer to the water, it gets rockier and there isn't a sandy beach. We live in CO so we are used to this. There are flatter "day" spaces down the road. If you have physical limitations, make sure you are really clear about what will work for you. The cabin is in a community of sorts. A gathering of individual & groups of cabins. They range from really nice to very rustic. Our neighbors in Rene's other cabin, which is very close, were really nice. Our first night, someone in the neighborhood played loud music. The eggs from R's hens when we arrived were a definite treat! We also appreciated that there were some basic seasonings, like lemon pepper and some popular Trader Joe's blends. If you need something specific that you forgot, there's a country store a short drive away. Although local brochures say there are walking paths around parts of the lake, we couldn't find anything near the cabin. We didn't feel like the road would be a safe place to walk, so we drove to other areas around the lake and found some beautiful picnic spots, views, and creeks to explore. This lake is quite clear for a CO reservoir. It seems like it isn't as busy as some other places we've been, so the silt doesn't get kicked up much. We brought two SUPs to use in addition to the kayak & canoe; we left them on the shore during our stay b/c walking them up the hilll was tough. We stayed in July and the nights remained in the mid to high 50s, so it was comfortable. We used the fans and opened the windows at night. The one bathroom was fine & typical for an older place. Plenty of towels. When I had trouble lighting the stove the first night, Rene responded quickly via text. Lovely place. Gorgeous views. :)

Rene is the best possible host. Our time at her historic cabin on the lake was fantastic....views, great cabin, many thoughtful amenities! We so enjoyed the canoe, kayak, and utter peace of our stay. We will be back!

This cozy cabin offers an amazing view and access to the lake. We hopped on the canoe, paddled across the lake, went horseback riding across the lake, and found a great hiking trail just a few miles away. The property manager has included some personal touches, such as fresh towels and comfy mattresses. The back porch is just magnificent!! We hope to return one day!!

This is the perfect place for a get away. Slow paced area with stunning views. It is clean, well furnished and the owners are very helpful and know the area well. Would definitely stay here again!
