Simple cabin but definitely would not call it "rustic." Very clean and comfortable. Myself and 2 girlfriends stayed there for a weekend to celebrate a birthday. We stayed in cabin 2, which has one large bed and a loft with 2 twin mattresses on the floor. It's a little steep climbing up to the loft but I was quite comfortable up there. If you are looking for total privacy/seclusion, this may not be the place for you, as there are 4 cabins quite close together and they share 2 hot spring pools- but this is stated in the description, so should not be surprising. During our stay, we lucked out and were the only people staying on the property. The hot spring pools are great. The water temperature was perfect and Mike, the groundskeeper, checked in with us to make sure it was comfortable for us. Mike was very friendly and helpful. He was happy to talk to us about local hiking trails, the town of Redstone, and local history and we really enjoyed chatting with him.
I can't say enough about the beauty and tranquility of the setting. We arrived late at night and when we saw the surroundings in the morning light, it literally almost brought us to tears. Being able to walk around the property, along the Crystal River, with views of Mt Sopris and other surrounding mountains, was so relaxing and appealing it caused us to change our hiking plans so that we didn't have to leave the property the whole weekend. We heard coyotes yipping and howling through the night and even heard a mountain lion vocalizing from the hills in the evening. If you are looking for relatively inexpensive, simple, clean, comfortable accommodations in a fairy-tale setting, this is the place for you!
