Loved the location, especially the view on the deck with the sound of the White River and only a two block walk to town. Would definitely stay there again and such a friendly community with gorgeous scenery!

The stay was very nice and Karla was an excellent host. While we had a bit of a mix up about the cleaning service Karla took care of it and the stay was excellent. We will definitely come back.

Wonderful!
We come to Meeker, CO every year for a nice relaxing vacation. The town is beautifully situated in the Colorado mountains and it is only a short drive up a scenic road to two clear lakes and a rustic lodge in the Flat tops wilderness area. This home sits at the bank of the White River, very private setting, comfortable home with fully stocked kitchen and large multi-car garage. Plenty of linens, furnishings, and nice comfy bed(s). Meeker is also home to the annual National Sheepdog Classic, bringing dogs and handlers from different parts of the US and Canada each fall. During the summer there is a farmers market, a local rodeo, gatherings and music in the park and abundant fishing. Hunting is a popular activity in the cooler months as well. We will be coming back to our 'home away from home' for some years to come!

The restful river barn...
We had a lovely stay in Meeker. The community is beautiful, the weather was perfect (a little snow, a lot of sunshine) and the proximity to the river was peaceful. The home was well-stocked with what we needed with easy access to groceries, restaurants and coffee shops. The internet sustained telework for a couple days, and there were plenty of adventure opportunities around.

Great hunting trip stay
There is not a lot of privacy with the bedroom situation but it was just fine for what we needed and very affordable. The river behind the house gives a great vibe and it’s very conveniently located. Overall perfect for a hunting group.

Great spot on the river.
Stayed for a few days with a small group. The main floor had 1 private room and 2 additional beds behind the living room area. I was pleased to find some essential pantry items already in the house four our short stay. The place had a secluded feel where you could enjoy morning coffee overlooking the White River, and was also walkable to everything in Meeker including Blanco's Little Cheese Shop and The Fork.

Spacious, peaceful, bright, comfortable... everything we wanted and more. We fell in love with the town and the accommodation and the owner is the kind of person who continually goes out of her way to make our stays there (three times and counting) the very best. We will return! Thank you, Karla!
