THE ULTIMATE COLORADO VACATION RENTAL

Rick S Rogers, Texas
Review Submitted: January 7, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
Where do I start! The home was exceptional in all aspects! Clean, spacious, well stocked and so very cozy! The location afforded tremendous privacy and the opportunity to truly relax and enjoy our vacation without worrying about the children bothering anyone by with their extreme exuberance! We love the outdoors and this is where the home excels..National Forest and wildlife in abundance..I have had good experiences with all my previous vacation rentals but nothing compares to this home! By the way, Anne Tomforde is expetionally nice and a pleasure to work with and Chuck, the ranch foreman so to speak, is great and very helpful! We liked him enough to ask him to share our final meal at the home with us! You can't go wrong with this property; dont be put off by the 25 minute drive to Pagosa, the setting and privacy more than compensate for that and it makes the Durango area much more convenient! In the end..I can tell you this was one of the most special weeks that my family has ever spent together!
Owner's Response: We are so happy when others enjoy and appreciate our mountain retreat as much as we do! It is such a pleasure to share our home and ranch so that other families can also create special memories there.

Great Home Away From Home

Karl & Teri Seattle, WA
Review Submitted: June 16, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We (three couples) rented this home for a week as a base home for riding our motorcycles. The location was a central point for several day rides. The gravel road was well maintained and easy to navigate with the bikes. Having three bedrooms and three bathrooms worked very well for us. We used the outside fire pit for roasting dogs and making smores.The gas barbecue grill was handy for several quick meals. We appreciated having everything there that we needed to really enjoy our stay, a great home away from home. We enjoyed feeding the horses and Chuck, who gave us a detailed orientation and then let us enjoy the home.
The wild turkeys were a pleasure to see and hear (hope the coyotes stay away). We were able to watch the NBA playoffs with very good satellite reception. We will highly recommend this home and serene environment to our friends who want to stay in this area.
Thank you very much Phillip and Anne.

Great Place!!!

Texas / Ohio Family Cypress, Texas
Review Submitted: May 26, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
What a wonderful place to stay. If you are looking for off the beaten path, this is the place! My family and I stayed for a week and we only saw one car during that time. We had wild turkey's within steps of the house each morning. Twice we saw elk in the pasture! We also saw mule deer each day.

The caretaker Chuck was very nice and accomdating. We all are looking forward to the next time we can make it to this place.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Stayed here
during Xmas week and it snowed the whole time. My
family and I truly enjoyed our stay and are planning
on returning in July. And Chuck, the ranch caretaker
goes above and beyond in making sure all is well.

Beautiful!

Review Submitted: December 9, 2008 Date of Stay: November 2008
My family of 5 joined a family of 6 and we rented this property together..and I have to say I was nervous about the space---nothing to worry about,the mother-n-law quarters is downstairs around the corner ,so a perfect place to send kids for quiet time! The house was very well stocked..lots of firewood for inside and outside fires.The house is last on the left so lots of privacy.The view from living room looked like a picture..I loved sitting in the chair and just staring at the scenery.Every morning lots of deer in the yard.The pictures do not even begin to show how beautiful,clean and spacious it is.The stable guy (Chuck I think--sorry if the name is wrong) was so nice and told us the do's and don'ts ,what to watch out for,what the best places are to see and do---great guy! When we go back we will stay here again!

Beautiful and peaceful!

Kansas traveler Lawrence, KS
Review Submitted: May 27, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008
The first thing we noticed was how clean the house was. Beds and linens were exceptional. We were there in late May the temp went for 80 to snow in 24 hours--only in Colorado! We did a lot of hiking around the property and had a wonderful time watching the horses, birds and wildlife.
