Wow! What an absolutely wonderful place for relaxing and taking in Nature! This home has a wonderful setup for couples. And the views are to die for!!! We spent part of each day on the covered part of the deck while the storms came in over the mountains. It was such a peaceful and pleasant experience! Our dogs absolutely loved investigating the yard. They made sure all those mean squirrels kept their distance. ;) I can't say enough about this home! It was a marvelous time for us! We highly recommend visiting! We'll be back!

My husband and I enjoyed staying here so much that we bought a house on the same street! What a view! The house was so comfortable and well appointed and clean. We really enjoyed our stay and didn't want to leave. Not only was our visit wonderful, but the owner, Wendy, was so professional and helpful. The entire transaction went smoothly. It's nice to meet such an honest and sweet person. I'm happy to have her as a future neighbor!

What a beautiful home and a beautiful location. The view from the deck is amazing and the cabin offers everything you'd need for a comfortable stay. I consider it the best deal in all of Colorado. No complaints from us.

We had the privilege of staying at this wonderful vacation home for a week. It was perfect from start to finish! From the fully supplied kitchen, to the immaculate bathrooms, gorgeous views, and beautiful private acreage. Everything was wonderful! This was our first experience with renting a vacation home and we have recommended it highly to our friends and family. I only wish we could have stayed longer! We will definitely be back. Thanks Wendy for a wonderful experience and for letting us borrow your beautiful home.

A wonderful mountain home tucked away with astonishing snowcap-views. Well-functioning and spacious home away from home. Secluded - and yet in reasonable proximity to civilization. My family and I enjoyed the deer and elk from the wrap around deck and even from the comfort of the jetted tub in the spacious master suite. We look forward to going back again and again.

We spent 10 days at this gorgeous mountain home. Recommend it highly as a real getaway: mountain views, secluded, and very comfortable. Close to many outdoor activities and the quaint town of Bailey.
