Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Booked 1 Night, Stayed 5!
Very comfortable and plenty of space. Well stocked kitchen. Considerate added touches. Very clean. Much nicer than a standard hunting cabin, more like a small house with hunting decor and trophies. The hosts were spectacular! Extremely friendly and helpful, but never invasive.

A Secret Gem Undiscovered In The Heart Of Sportsmen's Country
I stayed in the Hunter's Lair on several occasions while hunting and fishing in the area. It's a little undiscovered gem in the heart of Sportsmen's country. There is excellent hunting and fishing all around. The owners Gary and Tammy Broughton go out of there way to make you feel comfortable and go the extra yard if you'd like a home cooked meal or need advice on where to hunt and fish. The cabin is really cute, cozy and has easy access. You'll find it's quite a bargain.

Great Place
Super comfy and convenient. Had a kitchenette, tv/sat. Wifi, and great location. Hosts were super amazing. As the name indicates, this is a Hunter's Lair, lots of trophies and pictures. My daughter loved it. Will definitely be booking there again.

Home away from home!
The Hunter's Lair was perfect for our family vacation. It's decorated in a rustic hunting theme which was great for our outdoorsy family. It was well stocked with breakfast foods, fruit, snacks and various beverages. We were even visited by several bear each night during our stay. The owners live next door and we couldn't have asked for a better Host & Hostess. The Crawford area is beautiful and we say plenty of wildlife. We definitely plan to return there.

RELAXATION!!!
My husband and I visited Crawford, CO near Blue Mesa Reservoir. If you are looking for a quaint place to stay, The Hunters Lair is the place for you!
The Lair is decorated in beautiful rustic but has all the amenities of home!! See posted pics!!
Comfortable beds, spacious bathroom, full size kitchen and all things needed to prepare a meal! (If not, Crawford has a fun restaurant/bar a block away. We had a great time there as well!).
Our hosts, Tammy and Gary are very welcoming and have the Hunter Lair set up to feel like you're getting away, but with a cozy, homey feel!
We'll be going back to beautiful Crawford, CO and The Hunters Lair!

Awesome place for a hunting trip!
This cabin was perfect for our 3 person hunting trip. Plenty of space and comfortable beds. The full kitchen is perfect to bring your own meals rather than eating out every meal. Owners were friendly and accommodating and even came over to hear our hunting stories! Highly recommended!

Crawford Colorado is one of Colorado's best kept secrets being secluded in the West Elk Mountains with a population of 390 with many working cattle ranches out skirting the town. Our crime is almost nil with many cattle drives coming right thru town in the spring and fall. With 1000's of acres of public land with numerous 4x4 roads and hiking trails. hunting and fishing is a big draw to our community with Crawford lake located 1 mile from the Lair holding 6 species of fish and is known to produce trophy pike in the spring and large catfish in the summer. if interested in fishing we have the gear for you to enjoy a day on the lake.
Getting around
Transportation is definitely needed in our area, we recommend a 4x4 vehicle to enjoy our back country to it's fullest but front wheel drive will work fine if not visiting the outlying areas.
