Can I live here forever?

How do I even start this review honestly? This house, and its location is magical. Every single second of every day spent here was amazing. We woke up and saw rainbows, snow falling miles away on the peaks, heard and saw wildlife and farm animals, saw the milky way galaxy, all while feeling right at home in this beautiful house. It is well furnished, looks great, and is comfortable for the entire family. The beds are nice and the showers and hot tub are fantastic. Overall, pretending to live on a ranch in Colorado is a 100% must do, and staying at Josh's house is my number 1 pick out of ALL of Colorado. People in the surrounding town were friendly, and even the people who take care of the house were extremely nice and friendly. Love this house, love the ease of getting in touch with the host, and love the location. Book here and don't look back. You will thank me and yourself.

Awesome Escape in the Mountains

This place was great, just far enough out of town you didn’t have to deal with a ton of people but close to tons of hikes and access to National Forest. The house was great, super high end furnishings and accessories in the house along with plenty of linens and towels.

Thanksgiving escape

We had a wonderful time over Thanksgiving break…most relaxing trip we’ve taken with the kids by far. We especially enjoyed the very well stocked kitchen and the hot tub. Beds were also very comfy and communication with the hosts was easy. Highly recommend if you are looking for some quality family time in a peaceful and beautiful setting.

Beautiful house in the country

This is a lovely property, with upgraded interior. You have the peace and privacy of the country with very nice amenities. Everything was sparkling clean on arrival, and all appliances worked perfectly. The foam beds were very comfortable and the linens were very nice as well. The bathrooms gave a luxurious feel

Beautiful home in the mountains

Our stay here was excellent! A great place to stay to feel like you're off the grid but with all the modern comforts. Downtown Fairplay was only a 15 minute scenic drive away for supplies. Check in/check out was a breeze. The house was immaculately clean and had a lot of nice touches throughout. The kitchen was fully stocked with supplies to make meals and the beds were very comfy, probably the best sleep I've had in weeks. Our group loved this property! It was very private, the only neighbors were the cows grazing in the morning. We enjoyed the stunning sunset walks, and amazing star gazing at night. The area has everything you need for a day outdoors - lots of nearby trails, rivers, and lakes for hiking, kayaking, and fishing. There's a great fly fishing spot right across the street at Tomahawk. The kids in our group want to come back every summer and it was an awesome and much needed escape from Denver, it was very hard to leave. Highly recommended!
