Great Location
The owner of the property, Jim was so great! Very helpful and attentive. We had trailers and Jim was great at getting us all settled and showing us where to park, showed us around the property, etc. House was VERY clean and had everything that we needed. There is two bedrooms upstairs where you do have to walk through another bedroom to access the bathroom. It worked out fine for us but could be a little a awkward if you are not family or close friends. Our favorite amenity was the amazing water pressure and the updated shower heads in the bathrooms! The house is very close to town as well which was great as we walked into town several times. Best communication/customer service we have had with a VRBO owner!

Gowdy Manor Stay
Jim was great at communicating with us. He met us at the house when we arrived and made sure we didn’t need anything. He gave recommendations for restaurants and trails to ride. He was very responsive to my texts with questions. The house was clean and well stocked. Nice backyard with seating area around fire pit that we enjoyed each evening.

Amazing Experience
What a beautiful house and an excellent vacation! Jim is amazing, responding immediately to any questions, ensuring everything that was needed was provided. I loved the house, being a history teacher. Apparently summer is the better time to be in Lake City, but I certainly enjoyed it during winter and would 1000% stay with Jim and Dana again!

Great hosts, great location
The owners responded very quickly to any questions that we had. On the day we arrived, they even stopped by to quickly check that everything was as expected. The house is located close enough to the center of town that we took the short walk to dinner or to shops nearly every day. There was plenty of space for our group of 7 adults and 2 dogs. It was also nice to have some private outdoor space. We ate lunch in the back yard one day and spent a couple of evenings watching the rain come down while sitting on the covered porch.

Perfect spot right in town!
We haul our ATV’s and 4-wheelers to Colorado every year in 2 cargo trailers and it’s hard to find a place to park, unload, and store all of our stuff. The corner lot (on the side) was perfect for all our machines. We were able to park all 4 of our vehicles in the front drive. Jim was super helpful and contacted me several days before we arrived to make sure I had all the information I needed.

This house had everything we needed for our family of 6 adults and 5 children under the age of 6 and a small dog. The Gowdys always responded promptly to our many questions. They even had a high chair, pack-n-play, and sleds for the kids. I would definitely stay here again.

Perfect place for a Lake City stay
Comfortable, spacious and well maintained property Conveniently located in central Lake City. Super quiet, plenty of space, kitchen has all you need. Everything was in top working order. Our host Jim was attentive and communicated all the logistics perfectly. He made us feel at home. We much appreciated being able to enjoy this house as a launching pad for a Handies Peak hike. We hope to come back again soon.
