Pleasant Valley

"Jimmy and I had an amazing time during our stay here at the campground. We had rented a tent spot. Jimmy elk hunted while I stayed around the camp.The store has everything you need so you don't have to drive 30 miles to town. There is also a restaurant if you don't want to cook. The food is very good. And the pies, they are homemade. You can't leave without trying a piece of pie. Best pies around. Campground is next to the Cimarron River. Very relaxing to hear the water moving through the rocks. The owners are very friendly. We got to know them very well. We are going to miss you guys. Jimmy and I both feel like we are family. And we can't forget the sheep. They were a joy to watch. We had such a great time."

"We’ve stayed at pleasant valley for 2 weeks twice now. The tent sites are lovely and the amenities were just what we needed. A beautiful location and very welcoming hosts. The pie is 100% worth the 30 hour drive for us!"

"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."

"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!"

"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."
