A true treat
We absolutely loved staying at Kale's cottage and I have no doubt we will return in the future! I love Paonia and the North Fork Valley and this stay reflected a lot of what I love about the area. It is homey and magical and down to earth. I didn't realize how big the yard is when booking it and that was such a nice surprise! Thank you Kale for hosting us!

A block away
I love this spot. It’s just a block away from my daughter’s small home and provides us all a measure of relaxation during a visit to Paonia. I’ve now visited in winter and summer, the space and yard are a little sanctuary both seasons.

Sweet Retreat
This property has an almost magical feel entering it. It was pretty easy to find. It shares the beginnings of the road with another home but has plenty of parking space once you turn on the road. You meander through a green space on stone steps by a little covered porch, a firepit area with chairs, and beyond it is the cabin. There is a convenient lock box (and the host sends the code). Once you enter it is one round room with a bathroom off it. It has a skylight and the lighting is very nice. It was quiet, the bed was perfect (rather firm which I loved), the bedding was lovely, I'm a snob about linens and it was not microfiber ;) or cheap. (although I got hot with the comforter). You have a woodburning stove if you feel comfortable using it, and a window air conditioner if you are hot. It has all the amenities you want (except we did not see a microwave). We would definitely stay here if passing through again. Thanks to the host for a lovely stay. O and we ate at the Diner downtown for breakfast which was lovely.

Private, in town cottage
We really enjoyed our stay, especially the private yet close to town aspect. There are many great restaurants and a brewery a short distance away. We took a wine tour as the region had many great wineries. Breakfast may or may not be available at restaurants but cooking requirements are there so no problem.

Enjoyed some of the wineries and markets but a little too early in the season for picking any fruits. Found several tasty restaurants. Nice, clean inside the vrbo but outside yard, gardens, fencing need some TLC.
