Perfect location and great accommodations for our group of eight ! We will definitely come back. Nice to have hot tub available for private use and have it clean!
The house is very nice with a great hot tub. The kitchen was not very well equipped and could use some more utensils.A big problem for our group was the barbecue did not work properly and needs to be replaced.
Our family meet each month at a new ski location. We come from different parts of the state of Colorado. So parking is our biggest issue. We needed three parking places. Place was plenty spacious for us and the hot tub was a bonus. We actually had the best time in the hot tub joking around and laughing. Thanks for the memories. We would come back.
We loved our stay here. We had a group of 8 friends here to ski. The house was clean and comfortable. It’s everything you’d want and need in ski cabin.
The hot tub was located in a great location. It was right outside the sliding doors so you barely have to walk in the cold before you get to the hot tub.
It’s only a 5 minute drive to parking at the ski resort so it’s very close.
Great stay! We recommend this home!

Everything was as described. Had an issue and the management company took care of it right away. We had a great stay. Thanks.
The house is huge! It was scrupulously clean and fully equipped. The only drawback was that it is in a neighborhood of fairly closely packed homes. Sitting in the hot tub was not quite as private an activity as we would have liked . But that was a minor detail. Everything else about it was terrific. We would book it again in a minute!

Rented the house for the weekend to celebrate a family members birthday. Overall the house was great and would recommend staying there. It is in a great location, the four rooms are plenty big, big dinning table, and tv area was very comfortable. A huge plus is the internet. Super fast and was able to do virtual meetings with no problem. The place was very clean for the most part except for some trash and a few dirty dishes left in dish washer (but not a big deal). Other than that, the house seemed very clean which is a must with COVID restrictions. Plus the hot tub is easily assessable and clean. The only negatives to this house: it was very hard to control the heat, was always to hot in the main area. if anything else was running, the water pressure was terrible and left showers almost unusable. Might help with updated shower heads. The pilot light went out in the fireplace in the master bed room but house management was super responses and had someone out to fix it the next day. Thanks for a great place to celebrate a birthday!
Large home, very clean and well stocked. The neighborhood is lovely with mature trees surrounding the home. Property managers were very easy to communicate with, highly recommend this property!
The place was everything we needed! Fast communication between property management, super close to the ski resort and the hot tub was what we needed after a long day of skiing! Unfortunately the fireplaces weren’t working (or we couldn’t figure out how to turn them on) and there wasn’t any hand soap but the home was very cozy!
Nice location, clean property. We enjoyed the hot tub and being able to walk to dinner.

not as good as last year in Estes Park, but plenty of room and a nice place:
This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.
The condo was very nice and generally comfortable. We found it to be very clean. Plenty of towels were provided which is great with the hot tub and all the local hot springs. We had everything we needed and found the furniture and beds generally comfortable. It was also well stocked with plenty of dishwasher soap, soap for the bathrooms, toilet paper etc. There were fans to keep us cool at night, and all of the appliances worked. Location was quiet and while not walkable to town it was an easy drive in (we stayed in summer). The only drawbacks were the smoke detector/CO2 detector or something kept beeping. The positive was that when I called to ask for help they sent someone over immediately, the negative was that he wasn't able to fix it and wasn't even certain of the source. An "A" for effort anyway? Ultimately it didn't keep us awake. The other drawback was that the windows are a bit tricky. They are sticky and really hard to open and for one of them the mechanism was broken and once open wouldn't shut. They generally function, just not that well. None of these things severely impacted our stay, we certainly enjoyed ourselves and I would stay again.
Lovely place but not good for a loud group of ladies
I thought the property was nice but it was uncomfortably hot in there the first night and there is no AC. Also, it would not be a good place for a bachelorette girls weekend. We are all in our 40's and past the wild partying stage, but evidently we were laughing too loud on a Friday night at 10:30pm and the neighbors sent the cops to the door. We made sure to be inside after 10pm but all the windows were open due to the heat. Seriously quiet neighborhood that will not put up with loud laughter!

Great location and size, below average property.
This was my first (and last) VRBO stay. We arrived and the master shower had huge clumps of hair in it. I let someone know and the cleaning crew was supposed to reach out or come over (which they never did). Then the stove handle literally fell off and the stove was unusable for an entire day of our stay. My father in law is a chef and had prepared large meals for us we weren’t able to use. The majority of the first two days was just me reaching out to the management company.
The fans were old and off balance and made horrible clicking noises all night but there’s no AC so they had to be used. The master shower caulking was black with mold around the base. The can light in the master bathroom was literally hanging out from the ceiling. Overall, this property has not been maintained very well. Pretty disappointing for what we paid

First and last VRBO stay
This property had a lot of potential. It’s a great location and size with its own hot tub. However, the property has not been maintained well at all. The stove handle fell off when we got there and it was unusable for a whole day of our stay. My father in law is a chef and had awesome meals prepared for us that we weren’t able to use.There were large clumps of hair in the master shower. I let the management company know and the cleaning people were supposed to reach out and no one did. Not to mention the caulking at the base of the shower was black with mold from lack of cleaning. One of the can lights was literally hanging from the ceiling in the bathroom.The property has no AC. Which is fine, but the fans are old and off balanced and make horrible clicking sounds all night that kept us up.The mattresses were old and uncomfortable.For what I paid, I was pretty dissatisfied. Won’t be staying here or using VRBO again

Great property, needed cleaning
Booking, communication and physical property were great. At first impression everything looked great however it became apparent later the first day that the housekeeping was substandard. First night one of the bedrooms had very obviously not had the sheets changed as the comforter had been pulled over an unmade bed. To make matters worse we couldn’t wash the sheets that were there because the dryer in the unit was broken. Master shower floor was full of dirt and hair and the floor in the kitchen was sticky. Paper goods were missing or under stocked. In the end the property was very nice, but it did not look like it had been cleaned from a previous use.
Overall a great place to stay for the money. Only need was central air conditioner for the house during the day. High 80's in that altitude made the house too warm in the summer.

Overall, our experience was good. We were informed 2 days before our arrival that the owners of the place we rented did not want to rent it any longer.We were given 5 different rentals to pick to stay at, all comparable to the first rental.When we arrived at the rental they were replacing the roof, so we had to pick yet another rental to stay at. They quickly moved us to another house that was very nice and refunded us a portion of our payment.
We had a great time! Very spacious house, great location, and the hot tub was definitely a bonus!

This was a great place to stay for our Memorial Day weekend getaway. It’s very spacious, so every family member had their own space, with great gathering areas. The lilacs were blooming and the weather was perfect, so we spent a lot of time enjoying the large deck, grilling food, and getting in the hot tub. Would definitely come back!
