    We rented this amazing home as our bridesmaids house for a wedding at Howard Creek Farm. The property is exceptional, very well maintained and close to the venue. The girls had a wonderful visit.

    We absolutely loved this place. It was clean, quiet, and great for fishing. Only big complaints were that the wifi was awful (no way you could work remotely from here!) and the dishwasher was broken. Otherwise it was excellent and they even left some care items for our two pups

    We had a great time here - wish I had brought my fly rod/reel because the river access looks incredible. Highly recommend. about 15-20 mins into Salida.

    This is my second stay at Blue Bottle. Home is situated in an excellent location and property layout is one of the better that I have seen for fly fishing. The home itself is comfortable and has everything one may need. The property is excellent for dogs with property boundaries fenced. We all agreed that a hot tub would take this property to the next level.

    All as advertised, very clean, modern and well stocked residence. Only and I repeat only thing that could have been better was more accesses to the river frontage to fish. Advertised as 1/3 mile (+/-) frontage but so over grown to waters edge only 50/75 ft could be accessed. And although certainly not anyone’s fault but river never flowed slow enough enter the river to fish anyway in the 2nd week of July

    As a family of 3 couples, the property filled all our needs. Very nice and clean inside. The attention to detail and obvious love of fishing saved the day! Since the river was flowing too fast for fishing, a guidebook on area lakes was thoroughly studied and 3 remote lakes were hiked into with success. Had that simple item not been included in the welcome basket, our trip likely would not have been as enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again (maybe after spring thaw is over next time)!

    This is our 3rd time staying at Blue Bottle and it just doesn’t disappoint. The house is clean and nicely decorated. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. The kitchen was nicely appointed as well. The fishing - well it was awesome and easily accessible. We will be back
