Outdoor Lover's Paradise: Private Bayfield Escape

A Grand House in a grand setting! Overall couldn't be happier with our stay. The setting and backdrop was second to none, driving up to the house seeing a trio of elk bulls, wild turkeys and a smattering of young deer grazing through the valley. The house was very spacious and felt like one one with the hillside providing remarkable views to wake up to. Along with that, it comfortably handled a group of us with the right amount of bathrooms so it never felt crowded. We did experience a few minor hiccups but they were very quickly resolved by the host Kevin who did a fantastic job of communicating. Thank you again!

Lovely home! Beautiful view, amazing view of the stars. The house was worth the location but the road was a bit bumpy. Easy for a truck but rough ride in anything else. Overall, very clean house with great amenities.

Our family of 12 and 3 dogs enjoyed our stay overall. The property is incredibly private with amazing views, abundant wildlife (we saw elk, mule deer, and turkeys), and plenty of room for the kids to explore the 40 acres bordering the San Juan National Forest. The bedrooms and bathrooms were spacious, and the large deck and kitchen were great. The biggest downside is the nearly 4-mile dirt road. While mentioned in the listing, it’s much rougher than expected and takes 15–20 minutes to drive. We also would have appreciated a welcome guide with Wi-Fi and house information. The home has great potential but felt sparse, with limited seating in the living room for large groups. The dryers didn’t heat well, and a few deck boards need attention. Overall, it’s a beautiful, secluded property that could be exceptional with a few updates and better guest information.

Serenity is such a beautiful property, earning its name in every way. There was plenty of room for everyone to lounge comfortably, and plenty of nooks and crannies to explore. The kitchen was perfect for people who like to cook and people who like to eat. At the end of the day, everyone had their own space to relax and reflect. The only thing that might have made it better was A/C. The mornings were perfect, but it could get really sticky in the evening. BTW- the listing suggests 4x4 or AWD to reach the property... believe it! It was a bumpy ride, but the kids seem to enjoy it. Overall, I can't say enough how much we enjoyed our stay. It was difficult to leave. This is a great place for a getaway with extended family.
