Great stay for 2 to 3 people. I'd guess the tiny house is around 280-sf or so. Very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked with cookware. Guests--Heed the advice and be bear-aware. Bears visited the outdoor trash carts one night during our stay and left frustrated because they're bear-proof. Lock car doors and don't leave cooler outside. To the owners/managers--A couple suggestions: 1.)Call a plumber to tighten the wobbly bathroom faucet, and 2.)Keep your guests safe by programing something other than the simple 4-digit door PIN that was probably the factory default.

Wonderful amenities and appliances and a very simple and straightforward check-in process. I especially love the skylight above the bed at night when you can see all of the stars. Magical!

Tiny Fishing Cabin

We had a great time on our winter fish, and the tiny house was close to the rivers. I might be a little old at 75 for climbing into the loft bed, but I managed and the bed was comfortable.

Great location. Bed is very comfortable. It was a little difficult to find, because it was dark when we arrived. They had a very nice welcome binder with all information about the house and surrounding area.

Great location

The tiny house was perfect for me and my adult daughter to stay in. Very easy to find and access. The listing and pictures are accurate. The mini-split (a/c) cools off the home quickly. If you are sleeping in the loft and tend to be warm, bring a fan (email said there were fans but we never found them). One of the other units on the property was rented at the same time but not an issue at all (plenty of room to park and never heard or saw them). Path is well-lit to get to the tiny house.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
This VRBO is run by a company who could care less about customers. Seeking a quiet mountain setting (since I live on a loud freeway out of state) I booked this. It sits right on busy highway 82 which takes people from Glenwood Springs to Aspen and is extremely busy and dangerous. I told them I could not handle the noise. They gaslighted me and said it was not located on the highway. I have advanced degrees and know what a highway is and how far a few feet are - so am very angry that they charged me even though I booked just 1 day ahead of my stay. Greedy companies never last.

Mixed

Loved the set up and it was a nice location. Heated bathroom floor was the bomb. I had a spider and ant problem (in the wintertime) which was gross. The heating is also an issue - gets really hot in the loft area and still cold down below. I would also suggest a newer, more space efficient futon and a rectangular small table instead of square (would be much easier to move around). It would be good to make sure the walk is shoveled. Otherwise, people cut through on the ground which make the place really dirty. Hopefully this helps. Karen

Stay away!

This is a trailer that I suspect does not meet code. A ladder leads to the bed in a “loft” (where you can barely sit; let alone stand). Going to the bathroom at night is dangerous. I don’t want to imagine being stuck in the case of a fire! The place is clean and fairly well equipped but in the summer you have to keep the blinds down during the day and it makes you feel totally claustrophobic. My husband did not even want to stay a single night and found a bigger hotel room with kitchenette right across the street for less money. The security is a joke! The Passcode never changes and is super basic so anybody could walk in. The management is not friendly and provides nothing but a written set of rules on what not to do. In essence: don’t bother!

Hi Tatjana, We are happy to hear that you found the property clean and fully equipped upon your arrival to the home. We are sorry to hear that the Tiny House Retreat was not as expected. As mentioned in the description, the property is described as a tiny home with a loft style bed. I am sorry to hear that this went unnoticed. The codes for both the main and back-up lockbox are changed regularly to ensure the safety of our guests and the information we provided includes requests for our Guests to have the best experience possible. We hope despite the rocky start, you and your husband had a nice visit to the area and got a chance to explore the amazing town of Basalt and the Roaring Fork Valley!
