It took me a week to write a review so I could calm down. The rv parks is nice.. needs some work…read morebut it has a pond which I worried about mosquitoes and no water in the creek but with the weather Colorado didn't get.. I get it. I had heard they where once a 50 plus and no kids pets camp ground. I also heard they where under new management.. that the Rv manager confirmed with me from Inda. I took my afternoon to go down and it was supposed to be for an older man and the rv manager took me on a ride and showed me the whole park and said he could pick out his spot. It was very great and I was so excited. House cats allowed because they were trapping the strays and dogs of course one collar and leash which I understood. Po boxes available laundry room and common area. No loud vehicles and I spoke of my children but visitors where welcome. Wonderful conversation and again I thought it was just fine... well... Next day.. I was the one who was going to actually stay there for awhile until the sale of the house. OMG.. did thing change... my father sad I went to the rv park and rv manager met us to say this place wasn't for me. I'm not 50 or 40 but I was to young to stay there and kids were not allowed. My dad and I just starred at each other. She knew my kids are 16 and then adults for one and she never mentioned that the day before. Well you have pets... I have visitors with pets but no... my truck was to load... it wasn't a d two I don't have work until 8 am. She gave me ever reason not to rent there and we had money in hand for two months background check and everything she needed. My dad looked and me and said nope after she thought I would be better off at the Koa in Montrose and went on and on about Cedar Rv Park and even knew their prices and said it wouldn't work out. So, my review was very very thought though ... and lije the RV manager said.. the owner let her do whatever she wants... Just know it seems to me start or long term rentals seems to be with no kids ,pets are ok, but I guess 50 and over. If that works for you, it is beautiful there.. they just started spring work but I bet it's beautiful in the summer. ​​

They "get" the kitsch of the concept, and some things are "ironic" but never cheap or without class. The staff couldn't be friendlier or more helpful. It's spotlessly clean and well-maintained. Every amenity, from sheets, to towels, to toiletries, are top notch, as would be expected for these prices. We love the chow house! The food is rustic, but excellent. The setting, near Needle Rock (search "Needle Rock Colorado" on Google Maps, and you'll see why it has its name) is charming with beautiful landscape. Be sure, while you're there, to visit the North Rim of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park, less than 20 minutes from the Ranch. It is NOT to be missed.

Let's be clear. This is the absolute best elk hunting experience I have ever been to…read more The lodge: Yes, these generous people open up their home for us to stay in. Their children are very respectful and I loved having them around. I stayed in a suite which was the absolute best accommodations I have ever stayed in. I had my own deck to watch the beautiful stars in the morning and my own bathroom with a shower you can fit ten people in and a tub to soak in after the long day of hunting. The food: They say on the website there is a five star chef. It is Jeremy's wife who cooks all the food and it was more than five star in my personal opinion. She noticed I loved fruit so every meal there was fruit for me. Which is above and beyond. The hunting experience : It was EXCEPTIONAL. The guides we had were very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we were seeing elk every single day. Jeremy (the owner) who is a true hunter, not just a "resort owner" was out every day glassing to find where the elk were at. He has 12 miles of land so where the elk were at, we were at. We had no issues going to the same "sweet spots" because that means that's where the elk are at. Overall, we will be coming back. They are an exceptional family with a beautiful lodge and amazing hunting ground. It is not a spot that elk will migrate through, it is a place that they stay because of all the abundant resources Jeremy has ensured the land will have for the animals. You won't find a better hunting resort to stay at!

My partner and I booked this Elk hunt based on input from Rolling Bones Outfitters, a third party…read moremediator. We were told that Crossing Creek's success rate was 100% for the 1st rifle season in 2017 and a high success rate overall. We booked the 1st rifle season for 2018. What we missed was 2017 was Crossing Creek's first year in business. The Lodge. The enormous beautiful hunting Lodge is not a Lodge; it's actually the owner's Home complete with 2 wonderful young boys. Surprise! All business is conducted at one wing of the Home where the kitchen and dining room are located. It is also the same wing in which the owners live. Starting at 4:30-5am when the hunters join for a quick snack while waiting for the Guides to arrive, who leave their diesel engines running just outside this wing, then business ends at midnight after dinner, countless cocktails and loud endless stores. I mention this because one of the owners rebuked me the second morning for making too much noise and waking one the boys. I believe this incident is the reason the owner two days later flew a drone mounted with high intensity LED lights that were shining inside my second story windows at 4am. It was HARASSMENT as well as childishness. Whatever the owner's reason was, it's no way to treat a paying customer. For the doubting Thomas's, there are no outside security lights. Certainly not one that is 10 feet away facing into a South facing window then moves to an East facing window then laterally passes the bathroom window in another room. I was harassed. I was totally blindsided and now doubt the owner's integrity. It was a childish and resentful attack. Entering the Lodge (Home) there is a small 6' long bench. Hunters lack sufficient space and storage for hunting gear and rifles. Hunting gear/clothing/boots lie about like any other man cave however this is a Home and you must be mindful of that. Five unchecked rifles were left lying around on the floor or leaning against one corner. I consider this a safety hazard for a Home or any Lodge especially one with children. A solution would be to build an outside heated changing and storage room. The Range. Sitting in the mud is an old saggy 6' folding table along with older chairs. In the field was a cardboard box with Sharpie circles for a target. I've used worse but at top dollar I expect better such as a concrete shooting table, chairs and official targets down range. Improvement is needed. The Guides. There were three Guides. A bonus since it was booked 2 hunters to 1 guide. Two of them were around 25+ y/o with extensive Elk hunting experience. The third, older, Guide had extensive hunting experience but not with Elk. All three lacked any years of experience as Guides and for sure it was one Guide's first year, first week even. It was also clear the Guides had one week of experience on the property. They had lots to learn at our expense. One Guide brought his girlfriend with him for an early afternoon hunt. One hundred percent of his time was focused on his girlfriend and he totally neglected the three hunters. We were not his priority. Later that cold night returning from the mountain top we loaded into an old Jeep Cherokee for the 4 mile bumpy ride home. One of the older hunters and my partner, 63, had to ride in the rear with the spare tire and hunting gear while the Guides girlfriend sat up front with the heater on full blast. We lost 1/2 a day of hunting and basically paid for the Guide to spend time with his girlfriend. The Hunting. There is 12 miles of property bordered by National Forest and BLM land. Of the 12 miles we only hunted in two small areas, the highest point of the property facing the Nat'l Forest and the lowest point facing BLM land. All the rest of the property was under development and not hunted. While the owner and Guides did work hard for our success only one of five hunters harvested an Elk or 20% success rate. The Guides were not allowed to cross the boundaries of the property. Had we shot an Elk in the Forest or BLM I was left with the impression we had to haul it out. That's what Guides get paid to do. The Food. While the website leads you to believe a 5 star chef is cooking your meals this was not the case for hunters, wedding only maybe. One of the owners and a Guides wife prepared the meals. They did an excellent job and the service was superb. Summary. We paid top dollar for this hunt. What we got was a bed in a fancy house, good food, an owner who wanted us to be successful and worked hard towards that end, inexperienced Guides experienced hunters, a property that is under development and not ready for prime time hunting and finally personal harassment. This place has great hunting potential. If you must go, go in 5 years.

As far away from any of the amenities as possible. Trains running by in the middle of the night. Highway noise at all hours. No fire rings to make a fire to cook on, so had to eat out. This doesn't even come close to the raw sewage smell that came in every time someone flushed their toilets. Plus, we were charged $15 per person for this favor.
