Summary: The Cozy Ranch House could not have been any better! Starting with the location, felt like a million miles away but was only 20 minutes from town on a well maintained county road. The views from the property were phenomenal with the Sneffels Range right out front. If you are a photographer you could not find a better location to base your fall colors chase! The house itself was immaculate, well stocked and just down right comfortable for soaking in the views all around. Comfortable beds, great towels and décor made me fell like I was home.The hosts were super responsive with any questions I had and they gave you your space which made me feel like I was the only one on the whole ranch. Will definitely go again!Thank you Fred and Cheryle Stemmler for sharing this amazing property!
