Our stay was amazing the house came equipped with everything we needed for our 5 day stay check in and check out were simple and convenient. Very quiet neighborhood and amazing view
Quiet and central to MANY great adventures. The front porch will be your friend-an overhang for rain and the mosquitos are much less obnoxious - the back deck is death by mosquito...the deck is built over an enclosed pit that holds water and is a breeding ground for the little buggers. The house is comfortable and well appointed - the train tracks were rarely used while we were present so not an issue. The tap water smells of sulfur but not to worry, there is a chilled bottled water machine in the kitchen. Would stay again and recommend.
The property is nicely decorated and upgraded, including all applianes. There is an outdoor propane barbecue.
The air conditioning system works well.
The property is next to the railroad tracks but we only heard two trains pass by in the early evening.
Other than that it was quite quiet.
Orjereeevening.wellA/CA/C systems works well.
We were excited for our stay based on other reviews; however upon arriving we were greeted by the smell of musty laundry and old wood. It was adequate for four adults, but definitely a smaller space than I expected. We encountered many types of insects during our stay, especially outside where there is standing water, allowing for a plethora of mosquitoes. It was not enjoyable to be outside for very long which was unfortunate since we planned on grilling out. As for the grill, it has seen better days, and a nest of wasps found it to be a nice home. We also found wasps indoors, along with crickets, spiders and earwigs. We also had issues with the A/C. Fortunately my husband is mechanically inclined and was able to get the AC restarted every afternoon (we stayed four nights). He indicated that the issue is a potential fire hazard. Thereâs some charming out- buildings and a tractor we used for a photo op. It is nicely decorated and clean, but too many bugs and unpleasant smells. Reminded me of our camping days.
I have a couple of issues that need to be addressed. The yard was overgrown and was mowed the last day of our stay.
AC unit main breaker tripped everyday we were there and I had to reset it for the air conditioner to work.
Also the yard needs to be sprayed for bugs, they were everywhere and did not make it comfortable to sit outside.
The house was good on the inside., but well water does stink. Not much you can do about that.
This place was great. Everything was clean. Our only problem was that we could not get the TV to work. And on our last night the furnace would not shut off. Both of these things could be an easy fix.
The house was clean, quiet, and close to many outdoor areas to explore. Was a short, pleasant drive to Cañon City, the Royal Gorge, the mountain bike trail system, and a full-fast river. Great stay! We sure enjoyed our few days away from city life.
We really enjoyed the privacy and outdoor living space on the deck on the east side overlooking the large, fenced yard. All of the furniture, including the outdoor chairs, is comfortable and the house is well stocked.
My daughters and I had a lovely girls weekend at the Florence farm house. The house was clean and comfortable and very charming. It was the perfect size for the three of us. The manager was accommodating to our need for an early check in. Florence is a fun little town, and we are already talking about a return weekend to the area. We would definitely book this house again!
The house was very clean and had plenty of towels, linens, kitchen items. There are apple trees, blackberries, and grapes growing in the yard. We even came home one evening and saw 2 deer eating!
The house is located right next to a railroad. While we were there, no train came through thankfully.
There needs to be a new type of lock installed. We were locked out of the house every single time we left. We were constantly on the phone with the property management. We eventually left the house unlocked.
The air conditioner stayed broke the entire time we were there. I was on the phone with the property management everyday. The AC company came out on the first day and changed the thermostat. The second day the AC company said it was a faulty breaker. (The breaker box is located outside of the house). Every single night the AC would break and we would have to run around in the dark trying to find the breaker box and reset it.
With having to leave the doors unlocked, and having to keep the windows open at night to somewhat cool off the house, it was very unsettling. Especially since we learned that the ADX super max prison was right up the road.
After our trip, the owner gave us a 20% discount for our stay. That was a very nice gesture and we appreciated that.
But with all of that said, we will not be returning.
The home is well maintained and updated. There are 2 HUGE black berry trees in front yard that allowed me to make a delicious blackberry cobbler. The home has everything you need for your stay. A nice fire pit outside, bring wood.
At first I was skeptical because we showed up in the middle of the night. Just felt sketch. HOWEVER, I was wrong! I was a nice stay. We had zero issues. More than enough supplies. Hosts are excellent. The final day of the trip the little ones kept the car light on and the car lost battery. Neighbors came over and jumped the car for us. Excellent hosts, excellent neighbors, and nice house. Would rent again next time we are in the area.
Nice house in a quiet location. The property is just as described and pictured in the listing. Clean, well equipped, nicely furnished. Easy, quick access to Canon City and Florence. Great communication from the property manager when we lost power due to a spring snow storm. No fault of the property, everyone in the area lost power.
Antiquing in Florence (antique capital of Colorado) is 5 mins away and the Royal Gorge attractions are at your feet as well. We loved exploring this neighborhood in Colorado.

Had a wonderful time here. The farmhouse is cozy and rustic, and the amenities really make it feel like home and not just any old place to stay while traveling. The deck and yard were perfect to take in the fresh country air while reading or having that morning cup of coffee--though do beware of wasps or trying to walk around barefoot. Overall a fantastic experience and a lovely property. Would absolutely stay here again.
Perfect place to experience rapids, train, and surrounding area!
The house was tidy and well kept. The bedrooms and living space were spacious and easy to navigate. We enjoyed picking up meals from town and eating at the dining room table.
Getting to the rapids and train adventure were short, beautiful drives.
We would definitely stay here again!
I think we all thought we would be staying on someoneâs farm, but this was not a farm. Flies were really bad and we could not determine the source. If it werenât for the flies, the view from the back porch or shade from the front porch would have been very nice.
