Pleasant Stay
Property was exactly as described and we enjoyed our stay. Had a beautiful sunset and enjoyed sitting on the porch having breakfast and coffee in the morning. Owner very responsive to questions when checking in. Great spot to use as a launching point to the north rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. Would definitely stay here again if in the area in the future.

The panoramic views from this place were amazing; even soul transforming. Bring your binoculars. The caretaker was most accommodating and available if needed. The room was immaculately cleaned and very comfortable. The refrigerator even had some food in it for guests! I had a question and I asked it through VRBO, and even though I was told the owner of the property was on vacation, he answered it within 5 minutes! This place would be a wonderland in the snow! I recommend it to you, your brother, your mom and your Aunt Gertrude.

The owner has been so nice. Available without being intrusive. Sitting on the deck with mountains in the background and deer and rabbits frequently in sight. Also not far from Black Canyon, definitely worth seeing. I would highly recommend staying here to escape the hustle and bustle of city, or even suburban life.

Cozy Apartment Suite with Beautiful Views
Blue Jay Inn Getaway is a gem. Amazing down to every little detail! Cozy recliner chair with a large comfy couch. Extremely comfortable bed. Large refrigerator with freezer. Coffee, hot chocolate, toaster, microwave, toaster oven, dishes, ironing board/iron..... No detail is missed. Breakfast cereals, oatmeal, fruit and juices in the fridge. Everything that you might have forgotten in a basket of "things" in the bathroom/shower. Wi-fi, TV (Roku), Prime, Netflix. The mountain views, Saddle Mountain, Needle Rock, and the hummingbirds right out side of the room window were incredible!! Fresh chopped wood for a fire, clean grilling utensils and charcoal, and seating around. I grew up in the North Fork Valley and this place represents it well. One of our favorite stays yet!!!

The name of this property is now the Blue Jay Inn. We had received no instuctions on about how to check in, and with the new name it was very difficult to find the property. However once we arrived they were very friendly, apologetic, and helpful. The Inn has a large deck with great mountain views, a patio table, chairs, BBQ, several hummingbird feeders with a lot of activity. A small kitchenette with microwave, refrig. and toaster oven. It is very well appointed and we had a delightful stay.

We enjoyed a quick, one night stay on our way to Black Canton of the Gunnison NP. This place was perfect as we wanted to visit the North Rim. The room was clean and we had everything we needed. The property is located in the country and it is dark and quiet, great for sleeping.

It was fine for a few nights but nothing like I thought was going to be there.
Upon arrival, even after communicating with host many hours in advance. Door was not unlocked, didn't realize no stove/oven was included (pictures deceiving), thankfully and appreciated they had charcoal and a grill because the town adjacent is a ghost town and nothing is open. Will not stay here again.
