We loved our stay at The Coop!Josh and Nikki were really helpful and thoughtful. Highly recommend getting some of the sausages they offer from the farm! Delicious!The surroundings with the animas is blissful and you can’t beat the hot tub under the stars. The bed was also incredibly comfortable. Loved it!!

Great little cabin, in a great location. We got lucky with the weather; watching the meteor shower whilst laying in the hot tub was a fantastic experience.
