Beautiful cozy cottage. Very quaint setting with top notch hospitality :) - Justin
This place is one of the most unique peaceful places in North America. The cottage is beautiful with amazing amenities.
The animals on the property are. Adorable and a quiet evening under a blanket of stars is like nothing else.
Fresh eggs from hosts chickens and milk from neighbors farms is an amazing start to a beautiful day.
Nestled in prime hiking territory full of beautiful views is an experience that can't compare to the hustle of any city venue.
Be prepared to have your mind blown and the experience of a lifetime! - Alexis
My husband & I stayed in a very cute Air Stream at the Mermaid Cottage during our recent Great Divide Mountain Bike Route ride.
It was amazing! Such a cute place and KimAnna was the BEST host.
We would highly recommend stopping here... especially if you're on the GDMBR as it's right on route and so relaxing. - Karen
I’ve never felt so much positive energy bringing an overwhelming feeling of protection and peace.
The Mermaid Cottage was nothing less than magical.
This small, clean, artistically crafted gem, offered serenity and breathtaking landscapes.
For hours we watched the most vivid view of the Milky Way and, the brightest shooting stars that I’ve ever seen.
We were woken up by two super friendly ponies. This experience was nothing short of perfect and, everyone should know this feeling.
The cottage is located on the Summer Coon Volcano, an eroded stratovolcano in the San Jan volcanic field (Del Norte, CO).
When I learned this it was clear to me why I felt so balanced there.
This little bit of history only added to the experience for the better. - Ashley
Amazing unique location! One of the most romantic places on earth!
We will definitely come back!
Kim & Michael are great hosts! - Sevi
A perfect getaway, everything was perfect from the scenery, the animals,
and the fresh eggs in the morning. The Mermaid Cottage is a work of art
and it was a fantastic experience staying there. - Waseem
The Mermaid Cottage is a place of peace, solitude, and beauty.
Not only will you find uniqueness inside of the cottage that has been created
by its hosts, but the unique surroundings will bring you closer to nature
and to yourself. I recommend the mermaid cottage to anyone
who can appreciate the true beauty of life. - Brittany
Absolutely wonderful little cottage! We spent our wedding night here
and it couldn't have been more perfect. Very clean and cozy. They even left us a little gift.. fresh peaches
from their tree. How sweet! What an amazing experience.
We would definitely stay here again!!! - Jarrah
Our weekend at the mermaid cottage outdid our already high expectations.
The cottage is even more beautiful in person, and the mountains are
such a gorgeous backdrop. KimAnna and Michael are so friendly and hospitable.
We look forward to being back! - Chandler

This cute little cottage was built from standing dead cottonwood
that came from our girlfriend's buffalo ranch.
Wine and beer bottles from the Peace of Art Cafe and friends
were recycled by becoming part of the walls.
The furnishings are antique; the sweet black porcelain sink was
Found in a second-hand store by a friend and we gave it a new life by embedding it into a vintage vanity.
The sliding glass door was saved from going to the landfill.
All the windows were samples that no longer served a purpose.
Also, the large wooden beams were locally milled!
We use nontoxic dish soap, laundry detergent, and cleaning products.
