4 nights at Animas River Valley red cliffs

We loved staying on Melinda's land! It was pouring rain from a freak storm and she generously allowed us to use her mudroom and her addition downstairs. Genuinely, she saved our trip. She had great recommendations on things to do in the area and was available and communicative. I could not ask for a better host,

3 nights at Resort De Los Arboles

The host at this beautiful site was so hospitable and a great communicator. The lot was nicely set up with a great view of the mountains and a green farm field. The lot was very close to lake Navajo. Definitely staying at this site again.
