"we had a blast celebrating with our family. sitting in the hot tub looking at the Milky Way can't be beat"

"This home was centrally located relative to our many, chosen fishing locations. It had everything we needed, and the beds were exceptionally comfortable. House was clean and smelled of disinfectant when we arrived; unlike in the ‘old days,’ a good thing, these days. (The disinfectant odor dissipated within a couple of hours.) As we were there for seven nights, it was great having a washer and a dryer. Because we were driving/fishing every day until late afternoon, we, unfortunately, did not have the opportunity to sit on the back porch and enjoy its peaceful setting (and the occasional resident mule deer.) All appliances worked well, and the shower had a strong spray with plenty of hot water. Bathroom had good lighting, and vanity had a ‘knee hole’ and seat. Communication with the property manager was great, and she even checked on us through email after we had arrived to make sure all was well. She even gave us an emergency contact, should something have popped up unexpectedly. Quiet neighborhood and the residents are very friendly. Only two relatively small issues; lighting in the living/den area is very poor if you are trying to tie knots or read printed materials late afternoon and beyond; and, the living/den seat cushions are fairly broken down and not overly comfy, but they are clean and not worn-looking. Kitchen was more than adequately stocked; with dinnerware, flatware, and cookware. It also had quite a number of spices, oils, condiments, and food-saving/cooking goods. Freezer had four trays of ice, ready to use. I recommend this property and would rent it again with no qualms."

"It was beautiful "

"It was awesome to be in the tranquility of the mountain home. House was great and in very clean condition. We appreciate staying in coziness of the house. Especially liked the ski lift swing. Thanks for letting us stay."

"We absolutely LOVED this little cabin. We loved the deck for stargazing and having our morning coffee! The kitchen was well stocked and we were easily able to cook meals there. The king bed is soooo comfy. The wifi was a bit spotty at times, but this is mentioned in the listing and to be expected - it was nice to have an excuse to unplug. Will definitely stay here again. Thank you!"

"This property is perfect for multiple families to stay. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The views are incredible. You can hike up the road to the lake. Easy access to Monarch and Salida. We will be staying here again next year!"

"Very nice cabin. It was exceptionally clean and the beds super comfortable with fresh and good quality linens and towels available. The cabin makes for a nice home base. It was cool enough that we enjoyed coming home from our adventures every day and building a fire in the woodstove (thanks for having so much firewood and kindling available) after relaxing on the deck by the beautiful creek that runs behind the cabin. The stars were amazing! We also enjoyed meeting Harry, the sweet neighborhood dog who visited regularly to hang out with us on the deck. The dogs (and even the humans) in the area were friendly but not intrusive. We tried the hot tub once, but it died about 10 minutes into the soak. It was back on the next night but the jets weren't very strong so we opted to skip it, though it is a nice amenity to have available and it's in a great spot to enjoy the scenery. We've learned after only two VRBO experiences that the VRBO definition of "private" is very different from ours, so we were a little surprised and disappointed that there were houses so close. Thankfully, they were mostly unoccupied while we were there so we only had to get used to the vehicles on the close local roads and the highway above Garfield. We live in a rural setting far away from roads and neighbors, so we tend to prefer that on vacation, so most folks would probably be ok with the Garfield experience. Turns out it was a very quiet area so our concern upon arriving was never a real problem, just not our personal preference kind of location. My only suggestion would be to replace the hard as a rock futon with something more comfy. Though there are plenty of seating options, most aren't conducive to sitting by the fireplace or curling up with a good book. We had bag chairs with us so that helped to provide better seating inside and on the deck and we never used the TV/DVD set up (though the DVD/VHS library is impressive!) so we didn't need to use seating facing that direction. The spiral staircase was solid and perfect for the cabin and just a fun and unique feature that reminding me of The Monkees TV show every time I came down it, so that was fun. Great time, great trip - thanks for sharing your cozy cabin."

"We had a terrific couple days in Garfield! Just as described - clean, comfy and well stocked! Recommend bringing your own coffee (there is only enough for the first morning) and olive oil if you’re cooking. A little difficult to find as some of the streets aren’t well marked (recommend arriving when you still have daylight). Great views and feels very secluded without being too far from town. Highly recommend, would definitely come back."

"Very enjoyable property"
