We were 2 couples looking for a getaway from it all vacation, and we wanted to bring our 2 dogs - this was the perfect choice! The description "secluded" attracted us, and the aerial views looked amazing on google maps, but we found this beautiful property to be beyond our expectations. A perfect serene setting, a well appointed and very comfortable house and the picture perfect San Juan National Forest surrounding us. Admittedly, the thought of minimal/if any cell phone coverage and no internet seemed daunting, but it was such a wonderful break (and when we headed to the reservoir - about a 15 min drive - we had coverage). We caught up on reading, did crosswords and completed a few jigsaw puzzles. We loved the freedom for the dogs - they were definitely in doggie heaven - with the pond and fields around the house. The owners asked that we keep the dogs on the first floor, which is the main living area and master BR, and we gated off the upstairs to the other BRs to keep the dogs below - this worked well. The fridge was a tad smaller than standard size, but the owners explained this and we brought along a large cooler we kept in the mud room and picked up ice at the general market as needed (and they have additional coolers in the garage). We loved hiking around the reservoir and ventured to Durango for a day, but we really preferred having our meals at the house and the fun of cooking together. The gas grill and full stove/oven provided all that we needed. We brought along most of our food and the spices we like to cook with, and I must say, made some pretty wonderful meals! While we did not partake of all the games in the garage, it looked like kids would have plenty to do. The owners, Jan and Greg, were excellent help and very responsive as we were planning the trip, and were just a phone call away if needed. They maintain a beautiful and very clean home! We look forward to the opportunity to spend another relaxing week in Secluded!
