Very pleased with the property. Short walk or drive to restaurants or stores. The house was well stocked with nice interior and new appliances. Good driving distance to all the items in our trip itinerary. One complaint is the bunk bed in the second room. The top bunk is too close to the ceiling. Works for small kids but not teenagers. One of my sons ended up sleeping on the couch which he said wasn’t too bad.

Loved this property!
Our family had a wonderful four night stay! This cottage was perfect for our family of four. A great location, very easy to get to. We spotted deer in the yard daily, it was fun to watch momma and her two little fawns in the mornings. We hiked up to Palmer Lake #2, just beautiful up there! Definitely worth the hike but take plenty of water and take your time as is it uphill the entire way. We also ventured into town and ate at O’Malley’s, a fun spot for dinner. The cottage had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Girls quick get away
Your home was very comfortable and the beds were as well!
There was no hairdryer although it was listed as being there. Coffee pot could have been bigger for the 3 of us.
I would liked to have had specific timeline as to check in instructions at the time of booking but I didn’t see any.
It’s a very nice little cottage in a quiet neighborhood! We loved it! Thank you so much. Would definitely keep it in mind for future visits!!
