Excellent guys fishing trip

Guys fishing trip, family and friends, for which this was the perfect accommodation. Nice, comfortable, and functional location for several guys to comfortably lodge, play dominoes, and visit, all after full days of fishing the quality waters of the San Juan River all of 3 miles away.. Cooked steaks one night on the outdoor grill, to boot. Excellent location even afforded us convenient access, immediately behind the cabin, to the river below the quality water, from which you can keep fish for dinner—where we succeeded in catching all we could eat on the 2 evenings we fished it.

Nice home, amazing backyard

We enjoyed our stay at this home. It was overpriced mainly due to location and demand, but overall a very nice place. The backyard was very spacious and we enjoyed spending time in the nice seating areas in the evenings. The bathroom and bedding could have smelled cleaner. There was also no access to the washer and dryer which was very inconvenient being that we spend a lot of time at the lake and have a build up of laundry, especially given the three night minimum stay. The neighborhood was neat and quiet, and the location is close to the lake, about a 10 minute drive to the marina and the river is within walking distance. If you’re willing to spend over $500 a night for the location (which is what we ended up spending after fees), this place is a good choice.

River Dreams

Ken's home was very easy and accessible to get to. Ken made sure I had all the information needed to access his home prior to heading out, especially as phone service is not always guaranteed. We gathered there with an ole friend who came to the Southwest for a bit. The home's location allowed us easy day travel to Mesa Verde National Park and to Chaco Canyon and then a good day to simply kick back at the river. My friend Loves flyfishing so this was a real treat, he fished right off the back yard for part of the day. Then we packed some lunch and went across the river to the State Park and enjoyed the rest of the day, fishing, wandering with the kids and letting the river rewire us... We all Really slept well that night. As far as household concerns, I had brought some food from our home to cook and the house is really well stocked with kitchen appliances. We had a most enjoyable time, can only imagine it in the warmer months. The house is spacious and comfortable. Had a great time playing games, sharing pictures, and in general lovely home to kickback and make new memories in. Would love to come back and would recommend to others travelling in the area.

Great for families

This property is a lovely little place to stay when fishing the San Juan river. It’s convenient location is helpful for die hard fisherman. The house itself is a good size for a family traveling, very comfortable and clean. The kitchen had all the tools needed to cook your own meals, and the grill was available and working for cookouts. In addition, the owner was very helpful and responded to messages promptly. We plan to stay here again in the near future, as we very much enjoyed our stay!

Very pleased.

We really enjoyed our stay and you have a wonderful home. We spent most of our time on the lake and with our friends that we were visiting, but wish we would have had more time to enjoy the backyard. We would definitely recommend this home and we did show the house to our friends who have visitors that are sometimes looking for a place to stay.

Navajo Dam jewel

We enjoyed our stay. The property was as advertised. River access out the back fence was outstanding and made fishing so easy. We didn't catch anything but that is not the point, right? Location was great for getting to Navajo Lake. We would go back in a heartbeat.
