About this property

Unique country house with views of the mountains

Our country farmhouse is located on Garvin Mesa within 7 minutes of the town of Paonia. The home is surrounded by many trees and running water making it feel like an oasis. It has two private, comfortable bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other has a queen bed. The contemporary bathroom has a walk-in shower. The full kitchen is well equipped with everything you'll need for food preparation. Outside, you'll find a cooling effect from all the trees blowing in the breeze and water flowing through the streams. For your outdoor relaxation, there are plenty of places to slow down and relax including comfortable chairs and benches. A large area of lawn surrounds the house to help cool things down with the West Elk Mountains providing the perfect backdrop to complete the scene.
One of the outbuildings adjacent to the house once housed the first location of KVNF, Paonia's Community Radio station (1979).
The Paonia area is a great place to bring your bicycles and tour around town or down some of the country lanes. There are many local hiking trails available as well.
Our rental property is adjacent to our lavender farm of around 1200 plants and during May, June and July, we’ll be working in the fields tending to the plants, irrigating and harvesting. We always strive to preserve our guests privacy and peacefulness while we work. We do not operate any machinery while we have guests and we have an open invitation to our guests to come down to the lavender and learn more about lavender on our operating farm.
The end of September brings the annual Mountain Harvest Festival held in the Paonia Park. This festival features music and other entertainment as well as offering local produce and crafts.
The property is located within easy walking distance of the Stone Cottage Winery. Two others, Black Bridge Winery and Azura Winery, are a very short drive from the house.
There are many other wineries and vineyards scattered throughout the North Fork Valley easily accessible by car.
Day trips from the house to places like Crested Butte, the Grand Mesa or the Black Canyon National Park are entirely possible.

Perfect oasis in the heart of Paonia's wine country

We enjoyed a little bit of heaven here. The shade trees and setting were so inviting and refreshing on a HOT summer day. The home was clean and decorated artistically with charm providing an atmosphere of rest and peace. Hope to return some day. The views of the valley from the property gave us a star studded view.

A Little Bit of Paradise

We loved every part of our stay at this beautiful home. The property is so absolutely breathtaking. We enjoyed the wild life especially, and the lavender fields are spectacular as well as the magnificent trees. We loved visiting with "Honey" the chicken who came to visit us each day. The only drawback is the difficulty in getting in and out of the driveway, but we managed fine.

Almost Heaven

Almost Heaven, this West Elk VRBO comes with resident chicken “therapists”, (no rooster) visiting flocks of wild turkey, thrumming hummingbirds, apple orchards, fields of lavender and a great winery down the road. Quiet, tranquil and spacious with a great kitchen, it has wonderful views of the West Elks Mt. and the peaceful town of Paonia below, home to The High Country News, an internationally renowned award-winning environmental newspaper since 1969.

Can’t wait to go back!

The house is very cozy and comfortable, and the views from the property are spectacular (including the night sky, if you are into stargazing at all)! It’s a peaceful place away from the hustle and bustle. The hosts are lovely and make you feel at home. It was a nice break from the front range. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful garden escape!

This is our second stay at Campbell and Susan's house just outside of the lovely town of Paonia. The house has a beautiful garden, complete with blooming flowers, hammock and creek. We enjoyed the lavender harvest going on at the bottom of the property, which gave our kids a great hard work experience! And we love Paonia with its lovely community feel, park, river and good cafes and restaurants. A special treat is the easily accessible vineyards, including an excellent one right next to the property. We look forward to one day repeating the visit!

Just what I needed

This place was nice and easy. Everything we needed to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet. The house is full of art and character with cozy beds and comfortable furniture. Town close by to get beautiful fruits, veggies and wine to cook and enjoy the view of mountains through the fall colors of the yard's trees. A little stroll down to the lavendar garden where you are greeted by the neighborhood's wild turkeys. Deer and lots of good yard birds. Definitely a five star experience.

The Stanton Oasis

My wife and I loved this place. I booked it based on reviews and location without knowing much about the area. Spent three nights in July. Everything about the property was better than pictured or imagined. The house was clean, comfortable and decorated and furnished with quality items that one would place in their own home. Truly wonderful grounds with lavender field and fruit trees not to mention the beautiful views of the mountain. It was the place to unwind and relax after days hiking throughout Colorado. A couple of wineries are very close - Azura and Stone Cottage Cellars both are very good for different reasons. In Paonia we had a couple of good meals at the Living Farm Cafe where the service was as good as the food and good burgers at Delicious Orchards. The best part was the house and property - loved getting up to a view of the mountains and having coffee outside wandering the property and saying "Morning" to the turkeys that came every day. Campbell and Susan, you truly have an oasis. Thank you for letting us stop and rest on our travels. Huey & Denise NY,NY

Exceeded our expectations!

The house was very spacious, inviting and clean. The owners were incredibly welcoming and kind. The property is beautiful with the best views of the valley we could ever ask for. The wineries close by are very high quality. Paonia was hopping with plenty to keep us as busy as we wanted to be. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Such a quiet, peaceful property!

Such a wonderful place to stay for a long weekend and visit the area of Paonia. We loved being able to just walk down the gravel road to the Stone Cottage Cellars where we were attending their winemakers dinner. We sat outside at night on the patio and it was so quiet!! I live in the mountains in Evergreen, CO and I thought it was so peaceful there! This place was even better. Both the queen and king beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped except we would suggest that they add some inexpensive wine glasses for their guests to use seeing how they are situated in a wine region. Other than that, no complaints here! Thank you, Stanton's for letting us stay at your home!

Wonder place off the beaten path

This was the perfect place for my family. The house was clean, well equipped and welcoming. The host was there to greet us upon arrival and was always available if needed. The property was wonderful for relaxing, bird watching or just sitting and looking at the scenery. This house was excellent and the hosts were wonderful. We would stay here again if ever in the area.

Great place -- awesome yard, close to wineries

We had a great stay at this property. This was our last stop on a two-week road trip and it was a nice, relaxing finish to a fabulous vacation. The home has an amazing yard and offers great views of the area. We were able to swing by the winery next door which had some great wine (Stone Cottage Cellars). The owners of Stone Cottage Cellars were very friendly/inviting even though we had our two young children with us. The owners of the home appear to live here at least part of the time (their items were still in the fridge/closets), but the place was very clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend eating at The Living Farm restaurant in town and, if you have children, visiting their working farm for a self-guided tour. Overall we would recommend this home as a great home base for exploring this area of Colorado.
