Stayed 5 Days -- DREAMING OF 5 WEEKS!

5/5

What a fantastic stay! Our kind hosts ensured everything was absolutely perfect. From the string of ideas and directions to their lovely home beforehand ... to their quick response and endless ideas during our stay ... I couldn't imagine a more wonderful and caring team.

The home itself is GLORIOUS! We were six adults, 60+, and we had plenty of room to roam and relax inside and out. Every room in the home is a masterpiece of art, comfort and gorgeous/upscale/fun/silly surprises. Look up, look down, search for hidden crannies: this property is a visual feast. The listing's pictures barely scratch the surface!

The owners have thought of everything. Their state-of-the-art kitchen puts my entire home to shame and I considered taking up full-time residence in the beautiful and artfully appointed primary bathrooms. There are games and magazines and books and a TV ... but most importantly ... there are ENDLESS windows in every direction luring you outside.

And, about OUTSIDE ...

Bring your hiking boots, cameras and sunscreen because you will not want to miss a single minute enjoying the trails, hills, mountains and river walks on this property and in the area. Simple phrases can't do justice to describing the beauty of this territory and no words can explain the serenity and sense of awe you experience as your journey nears Del Norte. (Want to just "sit a spell"? Grab a beverage and a friend, then watch sunrise and sunset from deck. Maybe even feed the chipmunks and blue jays!)

Our stay was short, but we did venture out one day to the lovely town of Creede where we enjoyed the mining museum, a fabulous stage show, ice cream and a trip to Creede's enormous annual rummage sale. (What a surprise to learn that our proprietors adopted a piece of the highway along the way and supported both Creede's playhouse and a local church!)

Soup-to-nuts: beautiful, thoughtful, restful (or ADVENTUROUS) and fun! Thank you so much again, Tucker-McDermotts ... we're excited to return again soon!

Wonderful retreat

Immaculate, gorgeous, spacious, comfortable, beautiful home you can’t believe you found and you never want to leave! There are no words for how jaw dropping and amazing the property is. Or the views!! Oh my goodness. STUNNING. Our family of 7 enjoyed this house more than any we’ve ever stayed at and it was a wonderful experience in every way. Very kind & helpful host also!

12 out of 10! Of all the short term rentals I’ve stayed in, this one felt most at home. Wonderful location, you would never know you’re off grid, except for being off grid. Wonderful views of sunrise, abundant wildlife, very friendly and helpful host. Stan was responsive And helpful with any questions and suggesting activities throughout the weekend. A true guest experience. Thanks Stan!

Elk Hunt

5/5

This home was perfectly situated in our hunting area. We were shocked with how nice the home was. Not really roughing it at all…. Home owner was extremely friendly and seemed to truly care that we had a wonderful experience. Home is beautiful with large working kitchen that made it easy to feed the 6 of us every evening.
