Comfortable and convenient.
Our family of four enjoyed this property for our holiday ski vacation at Powderhorn. It had everything that we needed. The 360 degree glass fireplace was a fun feature. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen was well appointed.

Quiet stay in the Grand Mesa National Forest
Perfect getaway for our family. We had a great time here exploring the area. It is quite a ways away from "everything" but after a grocery run to Grand Junction, we were set for the week! If you visit during the summer, be sure to bring bug spray, but that goes for anywhere in the forest.

Tranquil Retreat With Gorgeous Views
Enjoy breathtaking views from every window of this darling house. The center-room fireplace and spiral stairs give it a relaxed 70’s vibe. The upgrades are modest and the simplicity is relaxing. Quiet street that is close to Powderhorn ski mountain. We will definitely stay here again!

It was our first trip to Colorado and everything was even better as described by the owners. The location is amazing, everything is very close to the house and you have areas to walk around and enjoy the crisp pf the morning snow. House gives you the sense of being at home, you do not wanna leave that house. fire place with the wood in the middle of the living room it was our place to spend evenings together and watch some movies.
