10/10 perfect spot!

I absolutely loved my stay here. It was quiet, peaceful, the river was beautiful. The house was clean, comfortable and a very homey feeling. I 100% plan to come back again. I would say to anyone with small kids and animals to be careful at night, there was a pack of coyotes running around nearby.

This is a fantastic property with the river just steps away in the backyard. We loved being able to swim and relax right at home. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, yet conveniently close to a small grocery store and Dollar General

Another Perfect Stay!

This was our second time staying at this beautiful property in just six months—and once again, it did not disappoint! The setting along the Rifle River is absolutely peaceful, quiet, and stunning—exactly the kind of getaway we were looking for. The place is spotless and incredibly well-kept, with everything you need for a relaxing stay.What truly sets this VRBO apart, though, are the hosts. They are hands-down the best we've ever had—friendly, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. Any time we had a question or small concern, they replied almost instantly, making us feel completely taken care of.We’re already looking forward to our next trip back. This is quickly becoming our go-to spot to unwind and recharge. Highly recommend!

Third Time is a Charm!

We just love this home more each time we stay! So comfortable and relaxing. The 'feel like' temperature outside was '14' but the home was warm and cozy. We watched the wildlife attracted to the bird feeder as well as the flowing river. Everything imaginable to prepare and cook a large meal.Thanks for renting to us.

Perfect place to relax and enjoy nature

The property was awesome. It was extremely clean and listing was spot on in description. We enjoyed the Rifle River along the back of the property and the multiple fire pits. It was so quiet and relaxing it was just what we all needed for a perfect fall weekend getaway. Besides the campfire and river the available kayaks were the next best thing. Kellie and Eugene were great hosts and and responded quickly and promptly to any questions prior to booking and after booking. The place was great and we as a family are already talking about going back at some point in the near future.

Perfect Anniversary Trip!

My husband and I rented the property for our 15th anniversary trip. It was the two of us and our golden doodle. Everything was fantastic, described, and represented perfectly in the listing. It is in a nice quiet area where one side of the property is wooded. There are neighbors on the other side, but not too close at all. The property is right on the river as described, it is absolutely beautiful and relaxing. We walked up the river, as the water was shallow enough. We also really enjoyed sitting on the front porch in the rocking chairs and had the most perfect weather for it! It was the quiet, relaxing, and beautiful trip that we were hoping for! We highly recommend this property and would most definitely rent It again in the future!

Rifle River Tubing Trip

We had a great time, perfect, beautiful location on the river! Tubes are not included like it was stated in the listing so we did have to buy our own. There is a pet fee as well but worth it because they provide a little fenced in area for your pup! Our dog had a blast swimming and running around. We did not use the kayaks but they were available for use which was nice. We dropped our tubes in at Kenneth Rd and floated back to the house, it was the perfect trip. There was plenty of firewood to use, we brought our own as well. Beds and couches were super comfy. Everyone in our party had a wonderful time, im sure we will be back!

Everything and More

Four friends and I stayed at this property in August and were very impressed. I’ve stayed at quite a few rentals and have never been to one so well stocked with everything you could need. The house was also much cleaner than some rentals I’ve stayed at. The yard is beautiful and peaceful. We loved taking the provided kayaks out on the river. The owners were extremely responsive. We’ve already booked for next year!

Quiet getaway. Very clean. Highly recommend!

This home was cozy, clean and very welcoming having just about everything you might need! We enjoyed the open layout of the kitchen, dining and living room. Very pet-friendly with a small outdoor fenced in area and a long leash off the back deck. The beds and couch were all comfortable. There was plenty of firewood with two fire pits and picnic tables; one of each up by the house and one of each down by the river. There is a hill with spaced out stairs and another trail to get to the river. There is not a wide space to wade into the river. You can get in and get the kayaks in and out but there is a bit of a drop down to actually get to the water. There is a water purifier installed in the kitchen and I was happy that the mineral smell was not as intense as other cabins I’ve stayed in. We did bring our own water to drink and cook with. The owners were prompt in responding to any questions. I highly recommend this property.

Home away from home

We (4 adults), stayed here for a wedding. We also brought our dog. It had a very homey feel. Clean, comfortable and perfect location. I do have to say, and this isn't about the owners, but the neighbors somewhere have 2 dogs that surprised us twice. Came from the river up to the house. We had a full day to enjoy the river, even the dog got in! It rained a couple of days. There are games and dvd's to keep you occupied. Beds were comfortable! Would absolutely recommend this location. Thanks for a great stay!
