Jacqui is an excellent host available to answer questions but respectful of our privacy. The location is perfect for us and there is plenty to do in the area or in a short drive. Highly recommended. ##### Stuart B.

We were so thankful to find this property. The price was low, the location made it very easy to get to Angel Fire for skiing and it offered plenty of space for our family of five. Jacqui had the home decorated for Christmas when we came which we loved. Our kids enjoyed playing outside in both the back and front yard. Having a washer and dryer and fully stocked kitchen also made our ski trip very easy. The beds were comfortable and the rooms were dark so we slept very well! We would for sure book this property again. Excellent value for a wonderful mountain getaway! ##### Nikki L.

Not in town but easy access to sites we wanted to visit. Each room had control of heat. Plenty of blankets and quilts. Cozy. ##### Larry/Dee B.

If you are looking for a easy going low maintenance stay this is your place. Backyard doesn’t have a lot of space but was great for letting dogs out between skiing. Not the fanciest place but has everything anyone would need. Owner was right next door for any needs. Her art is displayed in the house and is a great addition. Would highly recommend for the price and location. ##### Cooper B.

Our dog enjoyed having a backyard to run in, and loved watching the cows. House is cozy and warm with a well appointed kitchen for cooking our own meals. Also nice to have a full size washer and dryer. Easy and moderate trails to hike nearby, which our dog loved! ##### Sharon C.

We had to change the sheets when we first got there because of all the hair in the bed. There was a lot of snow on the ground and it was warm inside. ##### Shan A. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ---
