Our Villa stay @ La Veta
The property exceeded all our expectations. It was referred to as a Villa and it lived up to everything this name exudes. The property is beautiful and the views of the Spanish Peaks and surrounding area from the vantage point it is situated on are gorgeous. It was a wonderful experience and I would recommend this property without hesitation.

Fantastic Views!
This house was amazing! The views of the lakes and wildlife were stunning, and the inside, artistic design was quite inspirational! We ventured out in a different direction each day to explore the nearby trails in different parks and enjoyed eating at the local restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Amazing views!
We were so overjoyed to stay at Peter’s place! The location of the property is perfect for enjoying the gorgeous views from every direction. The home’s spacious split-level layout was exactly what our family of 8 needed. We enjoyed cooking in the large kitchen and eating around a table that fit us perfectly! There is lots of fun and interesting art to look at, including paintings, prints, sculptures, and mixed media pieces. The home also has a large selection of books to read and music to play. (There are Bluetooth options too!). All of the beds were comfortable, and the homes heated floors were a welcome feature in February! I could go on, but suffice it to say, we will be back!

Unbelievable Views from Every Room
Our family of four rented this house for Thanksgiving to get away somewhere secluded and pretty, and we were absolutely blown away. There are gorgeous, unobstructed views of the mountains in every direction and the house has plenty of space around it for privacy. We absolutely loved our stay and even experienced visits from deer and a fox while we were there. The heated floors kept everything nice and warm even though it snowed mid-week, and there's plenty of sun exposure during the day to keep the living spaces heated. The house is very well appointed and we were able to cook an entire Thanksgiving dinner without difficulty. There's plenty of space to spread out and lots of art throughout the property to enjoy. The property owner was very responsive and kind, and accommodated all of our requests for health and safety with regards to COVID-19. We would gladly stay there again in the future, and highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful home with amazing views from every area of the house. The art work was phenomenal. This was a sibling reunion. We fished at North Lake and Monument Lake each day. In the evenings, there was a large entertaining area where we could sit and enjoy each others company. Wonderful experience.

Getting away from it all
We had never stayed in the LaVeta area and came away impressed. State Parks are near by, mountain hikes, lakes, wild life and, of course, the great sand dunes. The home itself is on on a very high point giving excellent views. It is near town but still very rural. The deer quickly introduce themselves and we saw several fawns being fed by mom. This house is well appointed and was likely stunning when new. The home is aging a bit and there is some deferred maintenance but nothing that really impacted us. We had a couple small issues during our stay that the owners had taken care of immediately which was appreciated. Lastly, this was the home of an artist so there is a lot of art in and around the property. The art is tasteful but some of the work has adult themes - just something to consider if you have kids.

Phenomenal home in beautiful mountain setting
This property is hands down the loveliest vacation home we have rented over the years. The setting is immaculate.. There really are 360 degrees of breathtaking views.. The photos are great but don't do it justice. The host (Peter Bartos and family) was responsive & very helpful, but otherwise left us to ourselves. Joan Hanley's art graces the home and exterior. The architecture is open, with lots of light, yet plenty of private spaces, and no shortage of restrooms. We came with two grandparents, and three young children in tow. Everyone had a wonderful time and would come back in a heartbeat. There's lots of hiking, art, and other outdoors activities in the La Veda / Cuchara area. Overall, this place is just a hidden gem for anyone who is seeking a bit of clean mountain air and a break from the hustle and bustle. I sincerely hope other visitors treat this place with respect so that the Bartos family will continue to offer it as a vacation rental.

The views from the house are gorgeous. My family enjoyed the artwork throughout. The only thing needing addressed is kitchen appliances need updated and the outside of the house needs cleaned up.
