The owner was very welcoming and answered all our questions before leaving us to enjoy the peace and quiet. Between the singing of the birds, the sound of the river and the beautiful awe-inspiring views no matter which direction you looked, it was hard to spend time indoors. A couple of thunderstorms made the decision for us! Fishing was easily accessible. We spent one day in Woodland Park and Manitou Springs which was a one hour drive through the mountains. The cabin isn't fancy but it was clean and had everything we needed. Decker was a mile walk on the road with a great view of the river. The owners of the stores were very friendly and had everything we needed. A couple of things that might be difficult for some--no Internet access or cell phone service and bringing bottle water was recommended. Lack of communication was refreshing and liberating for us! There was a phone for emergencies and a phone card allowed us to make long-distance calls. The water was expensive to purchase at Deckers but we bought some in Woodland Park which worked great. There really isn't anything for little kids to do so that might be a consideration for families. We had a wonderful time and were sad to leave.

Peaceful Cabin

Cabin was great. We fished went river tubing and hiking. The property is beautiful with the mountains and river, the pictures do not show the true beauty. On the river you have your own private space with a patio and a grass area that is nice. Screened in porch was nice and you can still see the river. Very quite and private. Owner very easy to work with and answer any questions you may have quickly. Thanks again Gesche and would love to come back again. PS already have a friend that wants to rent your cabin.

Owner's Response: I am so please that you and your family enjoyed their stay at Nank's Bluff cabin. Word of mouth is the best advertisement. It was also wonderful that you had such luck fishing. I thank you and look forward to seeing you again.

Me and my husband were looking for a spot to relax and fish for our anniversary and we fount this property on home away. The owners were very prompt responding to our request and we had it booked in no time. The area is so beautiful and the views from the cabin are spectacular! We took a drive down the road the cabin was on and it follows alongside the river with many places to fish or take pictures. The river is much larger than it looks in the pics and they have a perfect spot to sit and listen to the water. The gas grill was ready to go when we arrived and the kitchen has everything you will need. There are even some basic spices. I really enjoyed the screened in porch with a bench seat. I sat and enjoyed the view for hours. The people at the little store nearby are super friendly and helpful. I have to say that this was one of our most enjoyable vacations, the owners are so kind and helpful and the cabin is perfect! We will definitely be back! Thank you for helping make our anniversary so enjoyable.

Relaxing-Great fishing and hunting cabin

I have been coming to Nank's Bluff ever since I came back from Iraq 3 yrs ago. A must stay for the outdoors man. So many opportunities, Nank's Bluff is centrally located on the North Fork, which has some of the best trout fishing in Colorado. The water from the confluence is gin clear and flows right in front of the cabin. I have yet to pull a fish out that was smaller then 14 inches, on my most recent trip I pulled 4 trout all 20 inches, hence the reason why I return several times a year. The rainbow are plentiful, big, very visible with or with out polarized lens and most importantly eager to bite. Be sure to visit Fly's and Ties, the local fly shop located 1/4 mile up the road. There is also a coffee shop, liquor store and small general store that can supply most of your immediate needs. This cabin is also a great hunting lodge. Only a few minutes away from the best Turkey roosting vein in ALL of Colorado. In my opinion the turkey hunting has been essentially untapped, the entrance of Rampart
Range, has a lot of birds. Most people over look this area due to the motor cross activities and noise. The birds are not skittish one bit. You can practically walk within 20 yards of them with out them flying away. I have not Deer hunted the area yet, but have seen many great looking Bucks. Most importantly the cabin sits right at the water edge, great for reading a book and passing the day by with friends. I live in Denver and the Cabin is only 1 hr from my house! I recommend this place to all of my friends.

Owner's Response: If you like this review, Vic also left directions to his favorite fishing hole in the guest book at the cabin. Addditionally, Vic failed to mention that they bagged a turkey, great going guys.

A great cabin with all the accomodations - housewares, toiletries, bedding, satellite TV, and so much more! GREAT fishing 48 steps down on the S. Platte, the CO Trail only 20 minutes away, and "Dott's Park" only 2 minutes away. A wonderful place for family & friends to gather to truly experience this "gem" on the South Platte River! We'll be going back for sure - truly wonderful family friendly fun!
