Summary: It was even better than we expected. Not to say we thought poorly before arriving, But the fact the location was perfect for all the places we wanted to see. Crested Butte, Moab Utah (Arches), Aspen, Redstone, Independence Pass, Marble, and the many hot springs and towns near by. Our host, truly top of the top of host!!! Great communication🤩. They had lots of really great ideas when we asked for their thoughts, such as Penny Springs (Hippie Springs). It was free, literally up the road 8-10 mins, and it was by far more beautiful than any of the paid ones we went too! Loved it so much, we went back the very next day! Wide variety of people, yes, some completely naked (Hippies), who cares! Many people from all over the world, even the simple construction worker who drives by every few days because it helps his aging body! Heck, there was a family who also brought their own grill and made it an evening. Absolutely loved it all! And the cold plunge into the river flowing by, PERFECT!! The scene was way more beautiful than the Glenwood springs or Iron Mountain springs where you had a busy highway, Tons of power lines, and target and shopping you were looking at. This place was clean, just like the VRBO we stayed at!! As I told my bride, I believe it was the second day, You know vaca was good when we couldn’t remember what day it was! And to be clear and perfectly honest, it started by where we put our heads down at night We will be back!! 5 ’s is really 10 ’s
