Quite, cozy stay
We had a wonderful time at the quiet lake house retreat. Kevin and Tami were awesome host. They messaged detailed instructions on how to get to the place and it was pitch black out but easy to find. We had no real plans only to relax but found brochures that were left for us and went to a great shooting range not to far and extended our stay to hit a awesome hiking trail that we found on another brochure. Definitely recommend. We will be back this summer since the lake behind the house was frozen but looks like a lot of fun. Thanks again to Kevin and Tami

Charming House for Relaxing
The house had everything we needed and was very cozy with a lovely view of the lake. Unfortunately, our stay was short and the weather turned rainy, but everything you need to play on the water was available. I loved the decor in the home, and it brought back memories of trinkets my family owned. The owner was very nice and quick to respond when we had questions.

Nice overnight on the lake
Enjoyed my brief stay on the lake. The house has everything you need inside and out. I really enjoyed fishing from a kayak in the private lake early in the morning before I checked out. The owners, Kevin & Tami plus the neighbors couldn't have been nicer. It certainly felt secluded, but you are only 20 minutes from downtown Montrose. Would definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The owners were very personable, the house had a very comfortable rustic nature about it, and it felt like being at home since they provided bottled water, coffee, and every form of convenience one needs when traveling including shower soap & shampoo though we brought our own. From the kitchen, living room, & 4-seasons room there is a view of the beautiful lake, & outdoor seating if one chooses to use them.

We were looking for a place to rest that was beautiful and quiet and this definitely fit what we were looking for. Even with rainy weather we loved the views, the cozy fireplace, and fit in a beautiful hike at the Salt Springs just down the road.

Peaceful and comfy
Our stay was peaceful; the house was comfortable. We loved the views of the lake and mountains. My husband also caught a record number of fish (he does catch-and-releasea). The quiet comfort of the home made our vacation restorative in no small part to the great hosts. The house is roomier than the pictures indicate, and the kitchen is well stocked with a variety of housewares. Highly recommended.

Relaxing on the lake
Kevin and Tammy were very friendly…accessible but not in our space. A friend and I stayed for the weekend to just chill out and that is exactly what we did. A nice, safe place to walk. We will return each year to enjoy the peace and serenity of the lake.

Lakefront getaway at its finest!
This was our 3rd trip here, and even with some rainy days, as usual, it did not disappoint! Love the nostalgic rustic feel of the inside, and the seclusion of being so close to the beauty of the lake. The fireplace was a welcomed addition to any rainy evening. The hosts are beyond personable and welcoming. Just one more added bonus. Wonderfully appointed with lots of beach towels and blankets and anything you might need in the kitchen as well! Truly a home away from home! We’ll certainly be back!

Wonderful Retreat
This place is a fantastic place for a retreat. It is very remote. Private lake access, kayaks and boats for fishing or just for fun. The building itself was very cozy with a sunroom and the owners do live on one side with a connecting door but they are delightful and give you plenty of space. Highly recommend

Great hosts! Nice house by the lake.
Just needs a few more outlets to charge your devices. The hosts are very attentive. Certainly do wish the gas logs had blowers.
