Pleasant Valley

We had a great stay at Pleasant Valley. We came in sore, hungry, and exhausted from all of our hiking and driving in the days before so it was a very welcomed experience to rent a cabin and have a home cooked meal. The owners were very kind, accommodating, and friendly. They cooked us a delicious burger and barbecue sandwich. The cabin was quite nice. The stand up shower had good temperature and pressure. The bed was quite comfortable. I thought the price was quite good when you compare it to similar places and what they cost nowadays. I liked it enough that I booked a cabin there again for when I am going back to the area in a month. I definitely recommend this place!

Booked a cabin here via Airbnb last minute-ish when we found out that a 4-mile closure on US-50 a little to the east of here, from 7pm to 7am, would prevent us from staying at Black Canyon NP past dark and driving to the cabin we originally booked for that night in Sapinero. The owners were very accommodating of us - the office closes at 7pm, but they set it up so we didn't have any trouble getting into our cabin at nearly 11pm. Presumably largely because of the overnight closure on 50, there wasn't any issue with noise coming from the highway. That said, we did experience a few issues. First, the fridge was unplugged and wide open. After carrying our cooler on the back of our SUV from sunny Mesa Verde National Park, through hot and sunny Montrose, and into hot and sunny Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, we were expecting to have a nice cold fridge and freezer to deposit drinks and other perishable food items in for the 10 hours or so we were planning to stay. Second, it was toasty inside. Obviously, gets pretty warm here, and this wasn't the first place on our Colorado road trip we stayed without AC. But the furnace was running, which didn't help matters much. We discovered a note covering how to run the unit taped to the side, about 4 inches off the ground, about 20 minutes before we departed the following morning. So even though we slept with as many windows open as we could, and the box fan running, it remained warm inside. Third, the water situation. Only place we noticed in the few days we spent between Montrose and Gunnison. Hot water from the sink in the bathroom was a little cloudy. Cold water had a yellowish tinge to it that we only noticed after filling up our Brita pitcher and keeping it in the fridge overnight. Dumped it out, filled a clear cup we had with unfiltered water... same yellowish tinge. Needless to say, we didn't drink that water anymore than we had the night before when getting ready for bed. The cabins also appeared to be fenced off from the Little Cimarron Creek right behind. There were fences between our cabin and the adjacent ones, and between those and the buildings or gates closest to them. We weren't sticking around long, so I didn't bother with trying to find out. But it seems like you may only be able to go down to the creek if you're in an RV or camping. Or a little more ambitious than I was.

Well I'm I wasn't on a room but had one of the best double chz burgers ever! The nice owner Cindy/ Sydney .......... I guess my ears are going.... is all so pleasant. Now, the good is a bit higher than you'd expect but it's a biz out in the middle of no where. And. Now,I sit on US 50 due to a 7 mile alt lane traffic closure. Expect delays.

We rented one of their cabins, the bedroom was ok but the bathroom definitely needs to be fixed up. The breakfast was good.Rooms: 3/5

Funky old cabin on the river. Just what we wanted. A little heavy off the traffic noise from highway 50, but offset by the sound of the stream

I just loved this little paradise away from home thank you so much for your kindness and the great experience!the area was just beautiful and the sheep were such a joy! Food & drinks: The pies oh my yummy goodness!

UN-Pleasant Valley to say the least... Honestly for the money they charge, I would have expected much better. Plus, I have 2 WELL behaved dogs with me and I felt like eyes watching me at ALL times... It was just an eery feeling there. They had a real STRICT pet policy so if you have dogs, maybe not the place for you - something about how they spent so much money on the grass and it never grows, etc.. I couldn't figure it out though because you're literally feet from an endless supply of water the river and it rains all the time? THEN the front gate code wasn't working... sat in front of the gate for 20 minutes trying to get in. Thankfully someone was leaving. Would not recommend this place...

Great location, just a few miles east from the National park. Set up our tent near the creek. The guy at the reception was nice. However the restrooms had horrendous smell because of the smoke, it almost made me puke.

This place is awesome!! We stayed there 2 years ago, and now we are planning another trip this summer. Reading thru some of these bad reviews makes me think it's the customer, not the place. The owners were so friendly and accommodating. Everyone has their own experience, but also everyone has their own demanding way of dealing with people when they are paying for something. Don't let the bad reviews prevent you from staying here. Our stay was really amazing and I'm sure yours will be too!

Stopped for an overnight and there is a For Sale sign. The place needs work! Worst laundry room I've ever seen. Dirty, junk, machines seemed OK. No change and no signs with prices. Oh and no use in the morning! Not good when you get in late...
