This was such a quiet, peaceful place to experience the 4 corners area. We enjoyed hiking, horseback riding, and star gazing all within a few miles or on the property. The huge living space and spacious bedrooms were our sanctuary for the week. We took advantage of the yoga mats and loved drinking coffee by the gas stove while watching the sun rise over the mountains every morning. The kitchen was fully stocked with any utensil or dish one could need. There was very little we could have asked for differently. David responded very quickly to an ask on the first morning and helped us get the gas stove lit to enjoy the rest of the stay. He is definitely very thorough, thoughtful and meticulous! Thanks for allowing us to enjoy your property with our family.

We absolutely loved our stay here! The house is big, beautiful, super clean, and has so many nice little extras—yoga mats, books, hiking, and tons of natural light. It honestly has everything you’d ever need in a home (and then some!). Such a comfortable and welcoming place, we’d definitely stay again. It is a bit of trip from town, but that is part of its charm as you can view the Canyons of the Ancients National Monument from the backyard!
