Quick Getaway

Super cute and quaint, had everything you needed with all the kitchen and bathroom amenities. Comfy bed, great location to town but still feels quiet and secluded. Hosts were great and easy to communicate with and we look forward to staying again and trying their other properties! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Private, in town cottage

We really enjoyed our stay, especially the private yet close to town aspect. There are many great restaurants and a brewery a short distance away. We took a wine tour as the region had many great wineries. Breakfast may or may not be available at restaurants but cooking requirements are there so no problem.

Singing Winds and Peace

Rustic elegance with the addition of a spiritual vibe, wind chimes and prayer flags bring the feeling of the outdoors as an element for the attention. Kale had earned a top rating as a host for all of the best reasons, responsiveness, kindly accommodating and generous. Thank you Kale, we accomplished my business in Paonia with smooth comfort.

A block away

I love this spot. It’s just a block away from my daughter’s small home and provides us all a measure of relaxation during a visit to Paonia. I’ve now visited in winter and summer, the space and yard are a little sanctuary both seasons.

First, the pictures are accurate but do not completely capture the charm, or the attention to details the owners have put into these homes. They were both immaculate, well stocked, comfortable, and excellent locations. Hopefully, we will be able to visit again.

Sweet Retreat

This property has an almost magical feel entering it. It was pretty easy to find. It shares the beginnings of the road with another home but has plenty of parking space once you turn on the road. You meander through a green space on stone steps by a little covered porch, a firepit area with chairs, and beyond it is the cabin. There is a convenient lock box (and the host sends the code). Once you enter it is one round room with a bathroom off it. It has a skylight and the lighting is very nice. It was quiet, the bed was perfect (rather firm which I loved), the bedding was lovely, I'm a snob about linens and it was not microfiber ;) or cheap. (although I got hot with the comforter). You have a woodburning stove if you feel comfortable using it, and a window air conditioner if you are hot. It has all the amenities you want (except we did not see a microwave). We would definitely stay here if passing through again. Thanks to the host for a lovely stay. O and we ate at the Diner downtown for breakfast which was lovely.
