Our family of 9 had a great time at this property. We had booked the house as an opportunity for all the cousins to get together before the older ones left for college. The location is perfect: far enough away from town to be quiet and see wildlife), but close enough to only be 10-15 minutes from your favorite activities. There was enough room for kids and adults to spread out and enjoy the space. Kitchen was stocked with most things people need, there were plenty of towels and paper products, and coffee was provided. Communication with the owner, Kenny, was great, and he was very responsive. He was even willing to provide a few extra lamps to help our readers see in the bunk room and in the main living area.
The house is perfect for families, especially the deck, and the basketball hoop was very popular. The backyard is huge and is a regular meeting place for deer. We saw many fawns every morning and evening. The backyard gets toasty during the summer days, so it's not very usable until the evening. We really enjoyed the beautiful view of Mt. Sopris every evening, and the adirondack chairs provided a great place to enjoy wine and share memories about the day. We also enjoyed almost every dinner at the large outdoor table. The hot tub was very clean. The only things that would have made our stay even better is a tv in the main living area (we had to compete with the kids for the tv on the lower level) and more adjustable shade provided on the deck (the sun is intense in the morning, so it made it difficult to enjoy coffee on the deck (we're not early risers--if we had gotten up at 6 am instead of 8 am, I am sure it would have been perfect). If you are booking during the summer, the main level does get warm, especially the queen room and the main living area (not uncommon in mountain homes). The house has two wall a/c units, one in the master (which keeps the room perfectly cool) and another in the main living area (helps, but it still gets pretty warm due to the size of the area).
Everyone really enjoyed their time at the house. The littles even said they wished they could live there all year long. We loved our stay and are looking forward to returning soon!! Thank you, Kenny, for a great stay!!
