Cute cozy cottage!

This stay worked well for my partner and i for a quick trip to Montrose for a wedding. The house was clean and tidy and very cozy. The only critique i have is to list the current wifi Name and the password, it was a bit of a guessing game to figure out which network to connect to!

I liked the location, I liked the city. The RH furniture was my issue. It appears that the RH allows pets and those pets like the furniture. I couldn't use the couch.

Quiet Stay in a Convenient Location

Old & dated but cute little cottage for our 10-day stay in town for the County Fair. Very quiet location but just a couple of blocks from the main street through town & 3 blocks from a grocery store. Bed was comfortable and shower was clean and powerful. Towels were plush. Kitchen was very small but adequate. One tiny window A/C unit in the bedroom struggled a bit to keep up with the unusual 100+ degree heat, but cooled down comfortably at night. Be aware personal toiletries are not provided here. Cissy was very friendly & available to help in any way needed; we enjoyed our visits with her & Wes and their kids next door.

Worst Experience Ever

What a horrible experience The property owner did not inform us that there was no parking available at the property due to street construction in front of the property. Only after the reservation was made and we could not cancel and still receive a refund did Ms Marlof inform us that parking was and issue but promised that parking would be provided. When we arrived we found no parking available. When we tried to park at her recommend location and received threats of physical violence from her neighbors. We reached out to Ms Marlof multiple times that evening by phone but never received a return call ever from Ms Marlof. The only response she could provide was by the VRBO message board hours later was “I am unable to refund your money, so I suggest you try to work it out.”. We were thus forced to seek lodging elsewhere at additional expense. We have tried to seek a refund form Ms Marlof and VRBO. Ms Marlof has refused to provide a refund even though the property was misrepresented at the time we made our reservations. Incredibly poor customer service for any guest expecting to place their trust to be dealing in honesty about the property and believe the host cares about her guest's safety more than for her profit and self-interest. AVIOD THIS PROPERTY AT ALL COSTS!

The house has a yellow jacket infestation. We could not hang out outside except for early morning before they were up and buzzing. There is a ton of construction going on and the streets are being repaved with lots of road closures. The window air conditioner went out and we had to have the neighbor help with the power breaker to fix it. Also, it’s mentioned that there is wifi but it did not work well at all. I was planning to work a couple days on my trip but couldn’t because the wifi was so choppy.

Quiet area and Quaint abode

There wasn't much traffic and the place was very comfortable including the bed. The kitchen had what we needed in order to have coffee and toast every morning. There are other items if you want to cook as well. Cissy was very helpful letting us in and providing us with soap (listing needs to be updated stating no sundries). She is very friendly and welcoming. The location is close to restaurants of which I would recommend Pahgre Pizza and Camp Robber. There are also plenty of department stores, drug stores and gas stations. We took a jeep tour out of Ouray that was quite the experience. Also enjoyed walking around Telluride one afternoon. We did drive up the South Rim Road in Black Canyon of Gunnison. Plan 2 to 3 hours and choose 6 or so of the 12 lookouts.

Great little bungalow in a fabulous location.

Loved the full kitchen and comfy accomodations. Just myself and my husband, so plenty of room. Small back sitting area worked great to store our e-bikes! Location was wonderful - close to downtown and bike paths. Nice quiet neighborhood with safe parking also. Would definitely recommend this stay.

Cute cottage

The Rose Haven cottage was just as advertised. Good location for Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Silverton, Ouray, Telluride. Because of construction between Montrose and Crested Butte we had to take a detour but the scenery was lovely. The sofa bed was not that comfortable for a 65 year old. We had plenty of hot water.

Great location to check out all the parks and towns around Western Colorado

The Rose Have Cottage is a quaint and comfy place that my wife and I enjoyed for a little over a week as we explored the various parks and mountain towns of Western Colorado. Montrose itself is a great location with airport in town and all the stores and restaurants one would need for a short or extended stay. The cottage is small and not fancy....but worked out great for us as it was clean and had everything we needed to be well rested for our daily excursions to all that the Western Rockies have to offer.

Super cute cottage

This place was super cute! I stayed here on a business trip with a colleague for 6 days. It’s in a safe quiet neighborhood next to a school and is a 5-10 minute drive to basically anywhere in town. The only downside was the beds as they were pretty uncomfortable to sleep on.

Why they chose this property

We have completely restored this little house. Everything is chosen to be cheery and easy to care for.
There is a tiny Patio, that is cool in the evening.
It was created especially to be a home away from home for our guest. We hope you will come and stay, and enjoy our beautiful area.
We have made it a complete home on a small scale. We are sorry we could not squeeze in a washer and dryer into our tiny space, but there are Laundromats close by.

It is only 8 blocks from downtown.The Library and Collage and Pool are close by as well. One Movie theater and Local theater are in the area as well.Another movie is only a short drive East .There is even a Drive In Movie if you are nostalgic.

Trash service every Thursday.
You are only less than an hour from the Colorful towns of Telluride and Ouray and the Scenic San Juan Mountains. Day trips can be included to Black Canyon,Silverton and Durango and Mesa Verde, as well as the Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction.
There is wonderful mountain biking, and a club in town who organizes trips. a bike train on our block.
You can stay in the winter and ski , go ice climbing or just watch. Hiking or just sight seeing.
At the present time there is being built a wonderful new Recreation Center.I will include more on that at a later date.
