Plenty of room for the 8 of us. We enjoyed playing a pool tournament, relaxing in the hot tub and the amount of appliances in the kitchen. Only thing I would do is have the tvs in the rooms updated. We like to watch tv while falling asleep and the tvs in the room are very small and very outdated. Other than that it was a perfect stay for us. ##### Jillian E.

Kids loved the pool table and the warm fireplace. Would stay there again. Only issues were the temperatures in the lower half (master bed/bathroom) that got pretty cold at night - could have used some extra heat/blankets. Also the master bathroom shower was pretty loose and low - I am 6' tall and had to duck to get under the water. All in all a fun trip and good accommodations. ##### Garrett M.

Also the property manager was very nice and stayed in touch with us until the Air was fixed. ##### Crystal B.

It was very clean and well stocked. The property manager left us a small gift upon arrival even with something for our pets. The communication was very easy. We had a great time. We would definitely book the Gelk again. It was very spacious for our family of 7. ##### Myshell G.

We had a great Easter weekend. The wind was so bad we stayed inside but we’re happy. Fully stocked kitchen was so helpful. The only downfall for myself was that I was on crutches and the stairs were hard but booked your house because of the different levels. I loved the animals on the wall, great touch! ##### Jolene F.

Stained carpet, broken windows that were held together with tape, dirty dishes. The house is trying for a "Man Cave" look and feel so don't expect the niceties. We did not know that most of the surrounding area had been ravaged by wild fires, so were not expecting the constant burnt smell. The elevation was also a factor for us. We did not realize that it was over 7000 feet. So, breathing became an issue for us. ##### Marilyn K.

Kitchen was well stocked with anything you need to cook and serve with. Only drawback for us was those stairs, you have to go up and down a set of 3 steps to get to bedrooms and bathrooms and then to get to kitchen and living area you have to go up a flight of very steep stairs. Probably works fine for younger adults but for us older people and one small child it was a challenge. We went and purchased a pet/child safety gate to put at the top of stairs to corral our grandchild for his safety. No way would I trust him on those stairs without someone right beside him. ##### Dot E.

Our family loved staying here. The amenities were a great addition. We all enjoyed the pool table and hot tub and the vintage vhs player with a great selection of movies! Wow! The only things I think we would recommend is adding curtains or blinds to the front and side window. We love the view but felt like everyone could see in. Also, I am not sure if the front door ever locked. My husband is a carpenter and said that the receiving door was not bored out at all to receive the lock. He has been installing doors for over 35 years... Other than that it was a great place to stay and we would defiantly stay again! Thank you! ##### David L.

The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and serving ware. The hot tub was wonderful. ##### Janet C.

Loved the location, the great room with the pool table, and all of the wildlife we encountered during our stay. A few things to note is the paper towels/toilet paper/sponges etc are SUPER cheap so maybe bring your own. Also if you go in the winter know that the bedrooms will be really drafty and cold but they do have extra blankets and space heaters. Overall we enjoyed our stay ##### Bethany S.
