Edge of town with the best views

The long driveway is great for trailers. We came in to sled and enjoy the great mountain views. We appreciate the quick response to all of our questions and accommodations provided. The big deck opens up to wonderful sunrise views with mountains and wildlife. We would recommend Amanda and Ken if you are in the area, anytime of year. Thanks

Perfect location for mountain access

Spent the week snowmobiling the back country, in both the Sierra Madre's and Snowy's. Very easy and short drive to either for parking. Clean, comfortable, quiet, wifi, and all the necessities of home in the kitchen for making meals, etc. Great communication with hosts!

Absolute Serenity!

This is the first place I have stayed in that looked exactly as it did on the internet. The inside was also wonderful and so well maintained. We were so very pleased after trying for two years to get it booked. It exceeded our expectations, and the cabin has anything that you could possibly need. The owner's Mom, who lives near, was so sweet and friendly and had no problem with us arriving a little early. I will definitely return again if the chance ever comes up. We loved watching the deer and birds off of the back deck. They came every morning and evening.

Great time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ad said property on river. Never seen river. Property was in a subdivision, neighbors on both sides and in back. ad gave the impression of more isolation. Lovely well maintained, clean, comfortable. Problem with toilet overflowing, bathroom floor around toilet needs repair.

Five years in a row for many reasons. Perfect accomodations for our family. All the comforts of home in a perfect and quiet setting. We play in both mountain ranges and the valley so the location serves well. See you next year.

Great place to stay in small encampment

Communication was great! We had a storm to travel around and the property manager was great to work with and we were able to check in a day early! The house was perfect for a couple of guys to stay at while snowmobiling. Quiet neighborhood with deer to watch right out the window. Parking was a breeze even with a trailer. Will definitely be staying here again when the snow flys!!!

Snowmobile Trip 2024

Very pleasant place to stay, away from the hustle and bustle. Quiet. Plenty of room for 2-3 trucks and trailers, if needed. Was some initial confusion about physical location of cabin, per google maps. Reached out to owner and received a quick response informing me of the proper location. Everything is up to date inside. They were kind enough to leave us some shovels so we could clear the deck when we got 6 inches of snow overnight in town. Only comments would be the following: 1. To have them add a longer pull cord to adjust the fan speed in the living room. 2. Have an exterior light added to the corner of the house where the driveway meets the steps to walk onto the deck. Other than that, this is by far the most up to date and comfortable place I have stayed at in Encampment over the last 25 years.

It’s a beautiful place to stay

The house is pretty much what you would expect in encampment. It is very comfortable and convenient and in a beautiful location. The only complaint that I have is the stale grease smell in the kitchen. I’m not sure how to get rid of it but it’s kind of rank.

Perfect Spot for an Outdoor Getaway

If youre looking for a clean, spacious getaway in the heart of an ubundance of outdoor recreational opportunity, this is a great place to check out. The only negative was that the washer had broke very recently before our stay and we were without laundry amenities, but we were able to get things worked out to get us through the time there. The deck is great and the kitchen has plenty of room to handle meal prep if you chose to go that route. All in all this is a great place with a great host, highly recommended!

Great stay for outdoor summer family vacation

Family of four stayed here. The bunk beds were great for the kids 13 and 10. We were in the area for hiking and UTV trails. The property was clean and a good fit for us. We had deer right in the front yard. Encampment is a great little town. We had dinner at the Divide restaurant was very good. We stopped at the museum in town; it was amazing would recommend.
