Driving cross country with a solid 3 days of driving and a needed place to stay and rest before pushing on. What a fantastic off the beaten path place to rest and relax. Has a cabin feel but modern. A short walk out the front door down to the Rio Grande River to watch wildlife or to sit and have a fire just feet from the rivers edge. Don’t forget to look up once the sun goes down. The fall crisp clear sky reveals some amazing stars. Restaurants and groceries are just few minutes down the road. Wildlife is everywhere depending on time of year. Even a bison heard 10 miles to the east. The drive to Lake City and Gunnison one of our favorite routes in Colorado. Watch late night driving and wildlife. Elk, deer, moose, big horn sheep not uncommon.

This was the most relaxing place to stay. Deer upon entering,the sound of rolling water, the smell of a camp fire. No words can describe how excited and happy I was in that spot on the side in the river with the amazing views. I’m truly blessed and grateful for my husband for this trip.
