A little on the rough side but ok.

Nice sprawling interior. Great for large groups that all get along. A little short in the bathroom department. Lots of cosmetic work to do, but this does not affect the functionality of the place. A good large group, all living together rental.

Perfect rental

Perfect rental for what we needed. Booked this place instead of tent camping it for a deer hunt we had planned because of the cold weather. Plenty of space, comfortable beds and heaters in every room. Host was very responsive and we would definitely rent this place again.

Awsome home perfectly located by the San Juan River

This house was big enough to fit a lot of my family members comfortably. Located near the stream for fishing and near the marina/damn for snagging. Will definitely stay here again.

Not a safe place to stay!

This property is clearly a work in progress. The owner has made cosmetic improvements and on the surface, it looks good. The property was clean. (Just don't look under sinks and in closets) Unfortunately, it also has many safety issues that need to be addressed. There's open wiring and exposed outlets throughout the house. There are extension cords with power strips plugged into them. It has a fuel-fired heat source and appliances and yet there is not a smoke alarm or carbon monoxide alarm anywhere on the property. I also did not locate a fire extinguisher. When I asked the owner about smoke alarms, he said they had been on order for 3 months. Why he hasn't gone into Home Depot and bought them off the shelf is perplexing. There's also a door in the kitchen with screws that poke out of it about 2 inches at the bottom. I sat something on the floor in front of it so no one would cut their foot or jam one of those screws into it. It would be a fine place for a group of guys coming to hunt or fish, who don't mind the rough around the edges but, it's definitely not a safe place for anyone with children under the age of 10. Frankly, in its current condition, it's not really safe for anyone.

Not finished renovation

Overall good place to stay. Be careful though and expect to see anyone that not fully finished with its renovation. There are bare electrical cords exposed everywhere, no washer and dryer hookup, and overall just not finished. My kids both scratched themselves in a carpet nail on the stairs too. Maybe this is a good home for adults who can be wary of the hazards until the Reno is finished. Host was very communicative and apologized for the incorrect posting about the washer and dryer hookups. He was nice and responded quickly.

Excellent value for the space.

This home had a lot of sleeping space, and very comfortable beds. We had 11 in our family and Still had 3 Queens, 1 Double Futon and 1 set of bunkbeds that we did not use. Conveniently located 15 mins from Lake Navajo Marina. I would highly recommend for large families. :)

Fantastic Location, Wonderful Hosts!

We had a family of 10 stay at this very roomy 6 bedroom cabin. Access to the San Juan River was right across the road. There were many wonderful fishing spots along the 6 mile road to the Marina. Comfortable beds in every room, well stocked kitchen and roomy gathering areas made this rustic cabin a pleasurable stay. The hosts were very helpful whenever we had questions. The air conditioning worked great. There were electric fireplaces in every room, but we didn't have to use them. It was obvious that the owners are still doing some finish work on their renovations, but it did not impede our long holiday weekend at all. Thank you, Dane, for a wonderful stay. I would definitely book this location again.
