"The kitchen, bathrooms and the rest of the house was very clean. The water pressure in the showers was great. There was some laundry in the washer and a full load of items in the dryer that we had to move to wash some of our clothes. We did not use any of the cookware or dishes. Perhaps some of the pantry/refrigerated items should be gone through and discarded. The outdoor area in the back was very nice and enjoyable. Cuchara is a fun place to visit and the folks that own the restaurants and shops were friendly and kind. The fishing was good at Bear Lake. Overall, our stay was very nice. It's great to have an option with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms!"
