Well, we enjoyed just being there so much we didn’t do a lot besides just sitting there with our coffee mugs. The wonderful weather, the awesome scenery, the privacy and the river made us just want to stay in the very cozy cabin.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful, peaceful surroundings and incredible scenery. It sounds like the deck was the perfect spot to unwind with a cup of tea and take it all in. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you back for another relaxing stay!
The porch is fantastic, with panoramic views of mountains. The river is just down the hill, and the sound of the water can be heard through the open windows. The decoration is tasteful, and the kitchen is well-supplied. The listing shows a loft queen bed, but it is really a minimal mattress, in a space that would be too tight for me to sleep comfortably. I think this is a great place for couples, but not so much for larger groups.

Thank you so much for such a lovely and detailed review! We're thrilled you enjoyed the porch and those panoramic mountain views, and that the sound of the river coming through the windows added to the peaceful atmosphere. We're also so glad the decor and kitchen supplies hit the mark for you!
We really appreciate you flagging the loft queen bed situation. This is valuable feedback, and we want to make sure our listing accurately reflects the space and comfort level so future guests know exactly what to expect. We'll take a look at updating those details and considering ways to improve our description.
Thank you again for taking the time to share such genuine, constructive thoughts it truly helps us continue to improve. We'd love to welcome you back again soon!

Reviewer Comments:
The home, amenities, and location were even better than we anticipated. We spent 5 wonderful nights on the Rio Grand just a short drive to Creede. We actually tried to extend our stay, we were not ready to leave. We felt privileged to be some of the first guests to stay here. It’s a very beautiful home, and we would love to visit again soon. The owners next door were an added bonus and we loved meeting them. If you’re looking for a quiet, beautiful get away this is the place! The beautiful evenings on the deck, watching the clouds and sunsets, listening to the birds and the river.

Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful review! We’re absolutely thrilled to hear that your stay on the Rio Grande was everything you hoped for and more.
It sounds like you truly embraced the peacefulness of the property—enjoying the evenings on the deck, the sunsets, the sounds of the river, and the beauty of the surrounding area. Those quiet moments are exactly what make a mountain getaway so special.
We’re honored that you were among the first guests to experience this beautiful home, and we’re so glad you had the opportunity to meet the owners as well. We know how meaningful those personal touches can be and are happy they added to your stay.
Thank you for choosing to stay with us, and we would love to welcome you back again soon for more relaxing days by the river!
I can't compliment this little cabin enough! It was the perfect stay for me, my wife and our 2 dogs. It's an old log cabin that has been updated with the master bedroom and deck as an add on. It was so perfect for us. There are gates on the deck, so our dogs were able to just hang out on the deck with us without needing to worry about them seeing a rabbit or chipmunk and running off. The bedroom with the large covered deck is the highlight of the place. We loved just sitting out there listening to the river right below and seeing the mountain views. The kitchen was beautiful and the smart tv worked just fine for us. The only thing I would suggest is to add some griddle tools/utensils for the blackstone grill outside. I used it a few times and there was only 1 slotted very flexible spatula inside and there was no griddle scraper to clean it up afterwards. I made it work though and this was very minor. Me and my wife both agreed we would definitely like to come back and stay here again and for longer this time.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you and your wife had such a great stay and that the cabin was a perfect fit for you and your two dogs. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed the gated deck, river sounds, mountain views, and beautiful kitchen.
We also truly appreciate your suggestion about adding additional utensils and a scraper for the Blackstone grill. We’ve taken this feedback into consideration. Thank you again for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back for a longer stay in the future!
