Taylor Park Overlook Cabin in Gunnison National Forest with Lake Views

10/10 Excellent
"The cabin was in the perfect location for us, since we were riding side by side trails. Beautiful views of the mountains and Taylor Lake Reservoir. Cute and functional. Brand new gas grill on the deck. Fully stocked kitchen. Everything was very clean. We did not find any wash cloths for showering, so bring your own. Not a fancy place, but very nice , and definitely a cozy, homey, cabin feel, like you would expect in the mountains. One thing I have noticed with a lot of VRBO is they only supply a very limited amount of trash bags and toliet paper, and it is usually junk. They had plenty of both, plus ziploc bags, tinfoil ect. Would definitely stay again."
