Everything about this place is perfect. The drive there is one stunning view after another. Then driving into the tiny Cuchara village is like going back in time- people strolling, walking dogs, talking to each other (cell reception is iffy, which was very nice!) I stayed in the pet friendly room, which is right on the river. The attached balcony is wonderful, as are the many seating options on the property. I’m running out of characters, so quickly- excellent breakfast, Gaylene is a fabulous host, just the right amount of attentiveness, beautiful flower gardens, the deck at night with the fairy lights, cool mountain air and the rushing river, Dog Bar and the Yacht Club are both excellent!
