Excellent Getaway
Posted Jul. 17, 2024 on HomeAwayWe loved the patio, as it is where we spent most of our time. Perfect for star gazing and story-telling. This was a multi-generational trip, and everyone was pleased with their stay.

Stressful Stay
Posted Jul. 4, 2024 on HomeAwayWe tried to get away from our cell phones but the neighbor complained a lot so we spent the weekend texting back & forth with the property manager. The first night - apparently the outside lights were shining into the neighbor’s bedroom, so I was asked to shut them off early. I couldn’t shut one off; it was on a sensor & shut off late. I was asked to turn the bulb (a thousand-degree floodlight bulb!)
I brought our dogs and the neighbor complained about them barking. I found out they recorded the barking so I asked for the audio file. 2 whole barks! Don’t make any noise if you want to stay here. If you have a dog, don’t let it bark. If you have a small dog, the deck does not have adequate protection; one of our shih tzus fell off 12-15 ft.
Next, the camera. Property description says it’s there; I thought it was outside. The camera is in the dining/kitchen where everyone gathers. It has a large speaker to capture audio. This was very uncomfortable. We never knew if someone was watching or listening.
Beds, shower, amenities were good. No A/C may seem okay in the mountains (we were in early June) but with huge windows it gets hot! At night it was cool. We had to close all the windows when our dogs wanted to play so we wouldn’t bother the neighbor.
I learned that even though you pay a heavy pet fee, you are not always protected. Seems like the neighbor does not like that this is a short-term rental. I had hoped the property manager would’ve been more on our side.

Private and cozy
Posted Jun. 13, 2024 on HomeAwayGreat place at the top tier of Forest Lakes... close to National Forest with a lot of hiking access. Fish in the private lake or take a short drive to Vallecito or Lemon reservoirs... great place! I'll stay again!

Beautiful and Quiet
Posted Nov. 9, 2023 on HomeAwayThe property was beautiful and the views were amazing. We arrived at sunset so got to enjoy that all the way up the mountain. It seems to be one of the uppermost homes on the mountain. The views from thie living area and loft area were spectacular.
The steam room is also great! We used it several times. Sleeping downstairs is a little loud due to the furnace and water heater being in a rather open area downstairs.

Top of the Mountain
Posted Jul. 27, 2023 on HomeAwayWe arrived to a beautiful cabin high atop a mountain. The cabin was all closed up & extremely hot. We have stayed in many, many cabins in the area from Jun-Aug and though it is typical for them not to have air conditioning- the other hosts have had windows open & fans turned on so that it is not unbearable. This was not the case here. The 1st night was horrible, no one could sleep because of the stiffling heat & lack of fans. The next night was not as bad because we had windows open all day & it helped but it was still uncomfortably hot. Luckily this place has a huge deck that we spent all of our time on until it was time to go to bed. One creepy thing about the home: there is 1 camera & it faces the deck where I'm sure all guests spend most of their time. I've seen ring door bells & cameras that face outward toward the property but this camera is definitely there to watch it's guests on the deck & that is definitely creepy.
The kitchen is well stocked, & so were the bathrooms. Everything was clean & in good shape.
Although you are charged a cleaning fee- be prepared to wash towels & all dishes must be cleaned as well.
If you are in the area to use Vallecito lake- please be aware it is 30 minutes away. The listing says 10 minutes. I messaged before making my reservation & I was also told 10 min, but it is 30 min drive to the marina.

Thank you for your review. We are delighted you enjoyed our clean and well appointed home and enjoyed lots of family time out on the fantastic deck. We appreciate all feedback and use it to improve our guests experience. So sorry you happened to visit during the world-wide unprecedented heat wave. There are several fans in the home. Our listing discloses that there are outside cameras. The camera is directed at the driveway. Our check out list, although common in this industry, is not mandatory. We kindly ask you to start a load of towels in the washing machine and to run the dishwasher with the last load of dishes if time permits to ensure that housekeeping can turn the home over quickly for the next arriving guest. Thank you for staying with us.

A much needed break in a beautiful home
Posted Jun. 28, 2023 on HomeAwayThis is the very first time my kids, their spouses, grandson, and doggies were able to get away from all of our home bases and just relax. Lots of pics taken and memories made. The deer! The birdsong! The stars! The view!! The quiet! We absolutely loved it and the vote is unanimous-we will be back
here to this home next year. Thanks for letting us use your beautiful home! Kathy D

Beautiful Bayfield rocks!
Posted Jun. 18, 2023 on HomeAwayJune in Colorado is great. Cool temps. Gorgeous green scenery. Rolling hills and majestic mountain peaks seemingly in every direction. A short drive to Durango for shopping and dining. Bayfield is a convenient hub for longer day trips to Silverton and Ouray too. Don’t pass up visiting Honeyville for all the honey products you could wish for. This home we stayed at for our Colorado trip had pretty much everything we needed. Lots of thick towels for hot showers. Good water flow. A great kitchen for putting together meals. Gas stove/oven worked well. Nice furnishings. Spacious deck and high end deck furnishings and umbrellas. A propane grill for those burgers and comfy beds ( though the main level queen could stand a mattress topper as it was a little stiff for our taste.) Oh, and a tea kettle that “sings” when it’s hot! Thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Our doggos loved the daily hikes. We spotted deer and chipmunks along the way. In Bayfield itself, there is a grocery store that will have pretty much everything you need. There’s a very good pizza joint in the same parking lot. There’s a coffee truck in one corner ( didn’t see it until we were leaving.) and back on the 501 slightly behind the shopping center is a nice little place called Baked for breakfast. Very tasty Eggwich sandwiches but also cinnamon rolls and danish and the like. So if you haven’t visited Bayfield, plan your visit today!

Thanks so much for the incredible 5-star review! We're so happy to hear you enjoyed the home and all that the surrounding area offers. We agree with you, Bayfield is incredible and one of Southwest Colorado's best kept secrets. Come back anytime!
