    Quick getaway
    The cabin is cozy and clean. Bedrooms are in a loft with ladder access so if you are not up for that, especially when the bathroom is on the main level, it could be a challenge. It wasn't a big deal for me or my wife, just pointing it out. The property is at the base of the mountains and it is secluded. The property is "pet friendly" and we always stay in properties that are but the rules state that pets can not be in the loft or on furniture. Not very realistic especially when you pay a pet deposit. I would eliminate such restrictions as the rental is picking up a broader base of customers as a result of "pet friendly". Overall we enjoyed our stay and would have no problem recommending it to others.

    A Clucking Great Place to Stay
    This place is very cool for when you want to stay somewhere quiet nestled at the bottom of a mountain. It has everything you need, great decor, an adventurous ladder staircase for getting to the upper bedrooms, and friendly chickens to feed! It was also awesome to have fresh eggs for breakfast.

    The house is cute as can be. My wife loved the garden. My kids loved the chickens. I enjoyed the eggs every morning, the mountains (always) and the fact that my family loves it so. The listing says it'll sleep 5, so we brought 5. Next, I think I'd keep it the crew to 2 or 3 though. Many thanks to the owner and her keen hospitality...we hope to see and rent from you again.

    Great property
    We really loved this place. For us it was all there. Location is central not to far away but just far away enough. Home was perfect for us. Comfortable and relaxing. Super clean everything works the way is should. We look foward to coming back sometime. If your reading reviews trying to make up you mind... just do it you won't regret it. It's one of those places you find that you tell everyone about except you don't want to tell them where it is cause they'll all start coming and you will never get in again.

    Hen house stay
    The Hen House was such a great little property. Such a charming house, community, and area. The kids loved the deer roaming around, checking on the chickens, and the views of the mountains. Very accommodating and had EVERYTHING we needed for a great stay!

    Artsy, bohemian get away with nature up close and personal!
    We enjoyed our stay at the Hen House so much! My 5 year old picked organic veggies from the garden, gathered eggs and played with the chickens daily -- Peaches was her favorite because she was the only one who would let us hold her. Amanda is great as are her neighbors. Such a fun experience!

    My fiancee, brother, and his fiancee spent a long weekend at the Hen House for our first real vacation in a long time. We loved the experience, especially how beautiful and peaceful the property was, and will definitely return in the future!

    Fabulous stay!
    The Hen House was a great place to stay while in Colorado! My family loved the fun hexagon shaped house with the near loft bedrooms! Amanda made our stay extremely welcoming and comfortable providing all the amenities and even allowing us the fresh eggs and vegetables! We would highly recommend the Hen House and would rent it again if we are in the area!!
