New Listing! Walkable to Downtown Creede | Mountain Views | OHV's Welcome

10/10 Excellent
"Great place to stay steps away from downtown Creede. Had a litttle trouble getting in on the first day, but when I contacted the host they handled it right away and was very friendly. We also needed an Alan wrench to adjust my daughter’s wheelchair and didn’t have one. I contacted the host to ask if here was one in the house. There wasn’t but she had the maintenance guy stop by with his tools and we got it fixed. He was also very nice and even left the set of Alan wrenches in case we needed them again during our stay. The house was great as well with plenty of room for multiple family members. We would definitely recommend this location to other travelers."

10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely time at the Peggy- mid-September and there was a car show and fly in breakfast at the little airport close by. The rooms are more spacious than the pics show. So walkable, a block and a half from downtown. Really comfy beds. The bathroom was a typical mountain cabin- small but did the job. Next year, (2027) there’s going to be a masseuse and spa right nextdoor! (OoLala) Yes, please. All in all, a sweet place for a getaway in charming Creede."

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing experience! We have been traveling to Creede for a long time with our camper. We got rid of it so needed a rental. We knew we just wanted to be somewhere right in the mountains/woods still and this house was exactly that! It was clean and comfortable and location was perfect. We brought our side by side and got in early every morning and drove around and saw so many moose. We can’t wait to come back!"

"Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Wonderful location, beautiful place. I was offered to extend the stay with a discount, but no response when I alerted management about the dirty bed and dirty dishes... Thankfully there was a dishwasher and w/d to get the items cleaned, but as an owner, I would want to know and I would definitely want to know if the management team didn't respond to a guests concerns about the cleanliness. Again, beautiful place and beautiful location, but the dirty sheets and dirty dishes left a gross feeling, especially at that price. Please check all sheets and dishes between guests."
