Beautiful & Fun for the whole family

The property owner had everything set up so convenient. There was so much to do and we didn’t have to bring anything but food. The property, the house, and the porches were so big and cozy. It’s a must for winter vacation! We are considering rebooking for the summer too! No cell reception was great for a true break. Also the house number is really 9207

Family Gathering

Clean and spacious home with large open living space for large groups...we had 17 in our group and all were comfortable. Far enough from neighboring cabins to give a sense of privacy. Thoughtful owner provided bird seed and hummingbird food...the kids loved it! Only downside was that the river (though we could see and hear it) was across the road and down a steep incline. Not really very accessible. However, we could drive a short way to a more accessible spot.

property location

It was in a very beautiful setting, but it was a one hour drive from Dolores to the property. The web site didn't make that clear. Had we known that, we would have chosen a different listing. The property was old as we could see from the photos, but it was really a fixer upper. The bottom floor was storace room for clutter and it smelled so keep the doors closed.

Beautiful scenery, mountain top

The cabin was beautiful, the host (Mark) was wonderful. He was very happy to help with any questions we had and great with anything we needed. The upper deck was furnished with muilpty tables and chairs and a grill( which we used). The commercial stove in kitchen was great and the kitchen was stocked with pots and pots, plates, etc... The beds were comfortable and lots of towels as we did have a party of 16. I will say that you just need to prepare yourself for a long drive to cabin. As it's about 35 miles out of Dolores on rd 38 and about half of it is on gravel. Also, the address needs to be updated to the 911 address which the older address is not correct on the Google maps or Apple maps. The internet did work but calling out on cell phone was a little difficult. The trails for utv (ohv) was amazing. You don't have to go anywhere. Make Redcliff your base and staging area and off you go. I would recommend downloading Ride Command (will say Polaris for the app) for the trails in that area. It worked great!! Mark was a great host!!

Red Cliffs Lodge

We had a group of 14. 1. Stove had no dial/knob marks. Very difficult to cook with without them. Inaccurate settings. 2. Washer/dryer area in basement very dank, dirty, disheveled, dusty appliances, trash piling up from our visit. 3. Mr Coffee 12 cup pot took 45 minutes to brew, so we bought another (30 cup) at a thrift store. Took 20 minutes. 4. Accommodations were adequate, supplies ok, vintage electric stove served as bread storage. 5. “Carpeted” upstairs bath was hard to dry out. 6. Host was informative and nice, but sort of eased over some of the “rough” parts. 7. Think we might come back, but the house is a “work in progress” and needs work. Rustic is ok but it has some repairs needed. 8. Place appears to be for sale 9. Needs lighting help inside! 10. Little on the musty side. Drapes, furniture and carpets.

We had a great stay! Mark was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed upon arrival. We lost power over the weekend because of a winter storm. It made the stay even more exciting and secluded which we had fun with. Definitely recommend!

Wonderful accommodations

We enjoyed our stay in Colorado. A central location to some of Colorados most beautiful scenery and destinations. We enjoyed the warmth of the wood burning stove after we hiked to the local geyser. Our children played hard and slept well. We stayed as extended family and look forward to another stay in the future.

Great getaway for extended family

Pros: -Beds were super comfortable -Cabin layout was perfect for our large group -Kitchen had plenty of space, plenty of dishes -Lots and lots of extra towels and bedding -Host was easy to reach and super chill -Cabin was comfortable -Location is gorgeous -Good internet service Cons: -Cabin is old and hasn’t been updated. Not a problem for our group at all (actually a plus), but some people might mind -There weren’t curtains in most bedrooms (but our kids wouldn’t have slept in anyway) -There were cows on the property (not a problem for us, but some people might consider that an issue) -Road coming in from the north is a little treacherous (so if you’re not in a truck or SUV, consider coming in from the south) Overall, a great stay and we will be back!!

Beautiful Location! Needs updating

Beautiful Location. It’s a long drive from the town though. It needs some updating. The beds where made and comfortable. Plenty of towels and bedding which is important for a large group and no washing machine. Kitchen really needs updating. Beautiful updated bathroom on main level. Could be a very beautiful place with updating and cleaning up the yard.
