Get Started
Our stay at Theresa and Amy's cottage was truly unforgettable! Tucked away in a peaceful, secluded spot with absolutely spectacular mountain views, it was the perfect retreat for our family of 6. While the cottage has a cozy size, the space was incredibly functional and well thought out, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was immaculately clean and full of charming personal touches-- from the s'more fixings and farm fresh eggs, to the cozy soft blankets, ambient fairy lights in bottles, and even a telescope for star gazing. We spent our evenings on the deck and around the fire pit, soaking in the tranquility and stars. Amy was a gracious and welcoming host, meeting us in person to show us around and make us feel right at home. You can tell the love and care poured into every detail of the home. If you are looking for a peaceful escape with heartwarming hospitality and breathtaking views, this is a wonderful place. We can't wait to come back!
Our stay here was amazing! The views from the cottage are incredible, we loved spending evenings around the fire pit, and we saw wild horses go by one morning. The cottage fit our group of 9 people comfortably. The amenities were excellent, and the hosts provided some thoughtful extras for our stay including fresh eggs and s’more’s makings. We would definitely stay here again!
Incredible views and great place to stay while visiting the sand dunes! Host went above and beyond!
Very nice place to stay and the hosts were very helpful.
Amy and Theresa's place is located just by the mountains in a secluded location with amazing views all around. We visited in mid April and got some snow which made the view even more lovely. The house is relatively small but feels very roomy and cozy. My kids had such a great time that my 8 yo was literally hugging the walls when we left! Getting there can be a bit challenging since you have to drive 4 miles through dirt roads, but Amy was very helpful and we made it there without much hassle.
This heavenly stay was our favorite thus far in the past 3 years visiting the area (several times a year)! It’s no small thing to find a home where a family of 9 can comfortably play & sleep! We knew waking up to that view of Mt Blanca would be magnificent but pictures cannot capture it fully. And roasting smores around the gorgeous fire pit under those Blanca stars is what our Wonder Years with the children are made of! This momma also loved having access to cleaning products to tidy up through the week! I love being able to keep a beautiful home beautiful! This home had wonderful extra amenities like fresh farm eggs & s’more supplies! I also have to include that we saw wild horses up close one morning and an entire herd of deer moving through the valley! We didn’t want to leave! The hosts were incredible, kind and always available. We will look forward to our next stay here!
Great views day and night
Great place with an amazing view of Massif Blanca. Very quiet, great sunsets. The internet was very good. We loved the remote location and enjoyed visiting the Sand Dunes National Park, the hot springs and other places. Theresa and Amy are great hosts, checking in to make sure everything was good.
