What a fantastic BNB! If you don’t wish to read this long review, take my advise and go ahead and book this place now! You will not get this experience anywhere else. I will start with the hosts: Cathy and Allen are simply gems. In this wild crazy world, it was such a true treat to meet such genuine, kind and hospitable folks. They welcomed us like family into their home. They went above and beyond to make us feel at-home and to provide a truly comforting and unique experience I simply could not find at any other hotel or air bnb I’ve stayed at in my past travels. When we first got here, we were shy to “bother” the hosts but take my advise when I say there is no reason to be, these people are fantastic and it’s an honor to meet them. I wish we could have stayed longer as I would love to just relax and talk with them! They were so generous to us in so many ways it created a surreal experience. They were so friendly and kind to our 6 year old, and even came up to sing happy birthday to him and gave him a birthday present. They welcomed our big dog and he of course totally fell in love with them, their amazing yard, and Cathy and Allen’s generous gifts of yummy treats. Cathy is an amazing medicine woman, and full of love. Allen is a really cool dude that loves to talk cars! They have great suggestions for food and sightseeing. Simply awesome people. Of course I must get to the home itself...What a great homey place. It had everything and more than we needed. A fully stocked kitchen with all the supplies you could need and even drinks in the fridge which was such a kind touch. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were all decorated with their own theme. There was cold air conditioning and many places for comfortable seating. There were so many cool treasures around the house to look at, books, figurines and beautiful paintings. The backyard was superb. You can really see all the love they put into it. Take notice of all the intimate details inside and outside the home. Our family and guests spent more time in their backyard than we did actually seeing Colorado, we just didn’t want to leave! Our son and dog had so much room to run in their massive fenced lush green yard. I really enjoyed the asking around and seeing all of the wonderful plants in their garden. The hammock is a huge “selling point” of their place. Daytime and nighttime, it was so relaxing to lay on. The stream of string lights at night provided a one-of-a-kind experience in the dark. Make sure to lay on the hammock at night and look up at the lovely trees and lights. They also had quite an interesting “outside room” filled with costumes and games we definitely had fun with after hours. This place so quiet and peaceful, just a great escape from our usual loud neighborhood. Our son even made friends with the neighbors kid next door! Another thing to note is just a block away is an absolutely gorgeous lake, with private access. There is a lovely family asking path around the lake and a playground; what a great way to watch the sunset at the end of the day. I could simply write pages about our stay here and we really had quite a very special time. We were so pleasantly surprised to meet Allen and Cathy and as I could read from their guestbook in the kitchen, they have been a treat to so many other travelers. We had such a lovely time. Thank you Allen and Cathy! Your kindness and generosity has left a lasting impression on our family. You are one of a kind! Until we meet again -Bryan and Angelea
