Nice Stay

Overall it was a nice stay for the price. It was extremely clean and very quiet area. I would bring your own pillows if you can. The ones they provide were kind of flat. We would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

Great Home Base for Outdoor Recreation

We really enjoyed our stay; 3 60 yo's on their annual fly fishing trip. The home is centrally located for adventures to the Black Canyon, Gunnison Gorge or north to Gunnison. It's off the street and has nice views up the hills with plenty of parking. Just minutes to the restaurants in Montrose. Everything was very clean and the kitchen was well furnished with utensils, staples and everything we needed. They did not have a bbq grille though. It's as presented, no surprises.

Little Ranch stay

This property is quiet and for the most part secluded. The house was clean and neatly decorated. Beds were comfortable and accommodating. The host is easy to work with and listens to all concerns; when I did contact the host she responded in just minutes which makes me believe she will to the best of her ability fix whatever issues need addressed. I encourage anyone with concerns or specific issues to contact the owner as soon as reasonably possibly to correct or address any and all concerns they may have. Over all a comfortable place to stay.

Views, Peace and Quiet

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the Powers Ranch home. I especially loved the location with views in almost every direction. We enjoyed some very lovely sunrises and sunsets. I take long morning walks and was able to safely walk along Landfill Road and was waved at by every passerby. I'm a fan of peace and quiet, and this home was positioned so that I received plenty of both. Unfortunately, due to flight cancellations, our stay was cut one day short. I hope someday to return and make up that with a longer stay. The area around Montrose is a treasure for nature lovers. We visited the Black Canyon, Ridgway, Escalante Canyon, and took the short drive to Paonia. I loved the views of the San Juans from this property, as well. Tamara was easy to communicate with, friendly, and answered all of our questions. Like I said before, I hope to return someday!
