Guests would rent again.
No washing machine or dryer as door to utility was locked. Owner did say the washing machine was broken or he would allow guests to use it. Heat in bedrooms were inconsistent. Mattresses need replacing as they have seen better days. One person said the foot of his bed foot area sloped off so bad he thought he would roll off onto the floor. Not enough electrical plug ins. A strip of plug ins would be nice in each room. Difficult to read numbers on the cooking stove. None of the chairs were comfortable. One bedroom had fast water to the shower and the other rooms were very slow. Ample parking, easy access for person using a walker. All guests were men hunting and they all said they would stay there again.

Cumbres Toltec visit.
The space was great for 4 adults and 3 kids ages 5 and 9. The location is great. We walked to restaurants and to the train. The kitchens and bathrooms were updated. Plenty of space to spread out. Carpets and rugs were very dirty. Seating in the great room was plentiful but uncomfortable. Beds were fairly comfortable. No air but fans in every room and opened windows at night. Comfortable during hottest week of the year. Nice fridge, oven and stove, dishwasher. Tv in great room. Hifi worked well. Saw a bear walking down the street at night. Saw a dear with large antlers downtown. Overall a good experience.

Perfect Friends Trip
With individual rooms and bathrooms this lodge makes for the perfect getaway with large friend/family groups. The living room is spacious and offers a place for all guests to hangout and socialize. We especially loved the covered back patio, it made for enjoying the mountain nights and eachothers company so easy.

Nice place to stay with friends
The place was clean and well kept. This was a nice place to get a group of friends together. There was a water issue in town, so the host's provided warer bottles to drink.

Great location
The home was perfect for our group. The location was close to the train and only restaurant open. I wish someone had told us that Monday and Tuesday’s there was only one restaurant open. We would have brought food in. The heater in the house keeps the bedrooms too warm. There were no extra blankets to be found when heater was low. A comforter is not a blanket. Suggest having blankets on beds.

House very comfortable, layout a little weird and kitchen very small especially if more than one is working! A BBQ Grill would be a Great addition! The TV didn’t get local news or any live sports! Bedrooms were great especially since all had their own bathroom! For the most part for a Hunting Party coming back late from climbing around mountains all day the house was a GodSend to return to!!!!!
