Beautiful Property and Nice Stay

The property was gorgeous and my family and I had a wonderful stay. The boys all went skiing and it was a good location between Gunnison and Crested Butte. Everything you need is provided. We would definitely come back. Margaret was a great host.

Perfect home base

The Rocking Horse was the perfect place for our trip! We were in Gunnison four nights and hit two national parks. We also spent a day trout fishing. Margaret has thought of everything for the home... we cooked most of our meals at the house and the extra spices she provides is more than I've seen at other properties. The bed was comfy, everything was clean and homey and the porch was an awesome, private place to unwind after our adventures of the day. We would definitely stay here again!

No WiFi and detour

My team and I had to be up there for work. We didn’t end up getting into town until 8. Once we got there we had realized the road was shut down to get to the property and appeared to have been like this for a little while and was this way the entire trip. The only reason I mention this is maps wasn’t showing us an alternate route nor were we given a heads up about the closure before checking in. So it was kind of a pain to try and find an alternate route late at night and in the dark in an area I’m not familiar with. We also use our laptops and phones for work and need to contact clients and send off data and when we got to the property we realized we had little to no service the whole time as well as no WiFi. Once I told the host about the WiFi they told me they purposely turn WiFi off and they were intending on turning it back on for the day we were departing for another guest. It took two and a half days to finally get wifi so it made work a pain and not having tv kinda pointless to have tvs. I really loved this property but it was a bummer this occurred. It’s right on a farm and beautiful so I’d come back again

Colorado trip for parents

Margaret was an excellent host. My sister and I brought our 90ish parents to Gunnison probably for their last trip to the mountains. The house was perfect for the 4 of us. We couldn't figure out Roku, she came over showed us how to use. Dad pointed out there wasn't a toaster, but there was a toaster over. Margaret brought in a toaster the next day. We have rented a lot of VRBO houses and this was the best host ever!!! Margaret, Thank you for sharing your house with us. We made some awesome memories!!! PS: Dad thinks you need a screen door.
