It was extremely clean and cozy! Everything was perfect, just wish the neighbors weren’t completely in view of the back yard. We still had tons of privacy however and we all loved it!

Christmas Sledding

Our party included three generations; the youngest member being 9 years old. We had plenty of room, the kitchen was large and fully stocked with appliances, and the beds were warm and comfy. We all appreciated the Christmas tree and decorations. It made our holiday much more festive. But the best part, by far, was the sleds. We had a wonderful Christmas Eve sledding party! My nephew, the 9 year old, sledded everyday and says this was the best Christmas!

Beautiful Christmas Experience

As a first time Vrbo guest I was very impressed. The owners were very responsive and the extras they provided were very much appreciated. My grandkids were delighted with the snow toys that were provided and our visit culminated with an up close visit by a beautiful buck! I would definitely recommend this property!

Colorado Couples Retreat Weekend

Three couples running away from the hussle and bussel of Fort Collins. Super easy trip down 119 to the property, main activity was a hike through Golden Gate State Park which was about 25 minutes away. Place was newly renovated and immaculately decorated with the guest book going back to July 2022. Communication with the host was easy and they were right that all you really need to bring is a toothbrush.

Rocky Mountain Retreat for Rachel's wedding

This property was beautiful. It was clean and well decorated. We really enjoyed this home. My husband is very tall so we would have preferred a king bed in the suite downstairs. Also if we were to come with other adult couples in the future it would be nice to have queen beds in the rooms that have doubles. With that said, it would not prevent us from coming again in the future. We absolutely loved the property and home.

Rustic and peaceful.

Everything was as advertised except the upstairs stove. It would ascend to the set temperature and then turn off but the readouts gave no indication it had quit working. Thank goodness for the grill outside. First night turned on top and bottom ovens. Top oven burnt a Papa Murphy’s pizza black in 10 minutes. After 20 minutes in bottom oven crust was still raw on pizza #2. The grill saved a Prime rib dinner on night 2 saved by grill although we ate 90 minutes late.
