The home was perfect for our family. Everything we needed was available, and it was just the right distance from Ridgway. The game room above the garage was great fun, and the scenery was “to die for.”

Wonderful home! Great place for a family gathering. Plenty of space for everyone. Home and property exceeded expectations. This home is very well stocked. Just bring food. Saw deer, elk and wild turkey from the deck. Had a bear get in the dumpster one night. Host was very responsive and had someone there quickly to pick up trash and secure the dumpster. He returned the next night but could not get in so he left. Also, amazing views. We are considering booking again next year. Overall a great experience.
