The children especially enjoyed the zip line and rope swing outside as well as pool, chess, and board games inside. The house is spacious and had plenty of towels and kitchen supplies. A couple minor things we called the property manager about were taken care of quickly and with a smile. If we ever get back to this area, we would love to stay again! ##### Lisa H.

House is amazing and as advertised. All we needed to cook, est and relax. Close to town and family fun. Hosts were easy to work with and very helpful. Highly recommended. ##### Mark G. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph R. 29 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An incredible destination! My friends and I recently did a weekend getaway here, and we are already talking about when we will visit again because our stay was FANTASTIC. If you are looking for a place to unplug, relax, and/or have fun, look no further. The location: The location of this place has the best of both worlds: remote, yet convenient. While the super market and some restaurants are less than 10 minutes away, the location feels rural. The quietness, fresh air, and routine breezes make the environment very refreshing. A huge bonus for my group was the proximity of Fox Run Regional Park - a number of us got our early morning hikes/walks/runs here.The home: First, there was plenty of parking (great for larger groups). Second, the kitchen was top notch: well stocked, enormous (great for cooking large meals for a large group), and high quality appliances. Third, the rooms were well furnished (nice furniture, good curtains, very comfortable linens). Additionally, there was no shortage of activities in the home such as a billiards table, ping pong, fire pits, outdoor heaters on EVERY patio, a hot tub and much more. On that note, the views are gorgeous as well. Lastly, the property itself is gorgeous. There is lots of space to play outdoor games and get comfortable. You are not nestled between other properties and you feel like you have your own space.The host: 10/10 experience - expedient responses and very helpful with requests. In summary, this place is the complete package!!! ##### Joseph R. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mike B. 4 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### USAFA Graduation Stay Overall, our stay was awesome! The location of the home is one of the best features for getting to graduation events without traffic. The home nicely accommodates large families. The beds were comfortable. Although the types of beds didn’t match our adult children, there was plenty of space in the bedrooms to put air mattresses that we purchased. We appreciated the number of towels, extra pillows, and blankets for this reason. The large gathering areas were perfect for relaxing as a family. There is plenty of seating for meals and in the family rooms. The outdoor furniture was comfortable. We had many evenings around the gas fire on the back patio. We were able to grill and cook in a few days and found everything we needed. If you have young children, there is plenty of fun things to keep them busy: swings, rope swing, jungle gym, toys, and games. We enjoyed playing corn hole. There is a fire pit with wood provided if the weather conditions allow. David and Margo were easy to communicate with when we needed questions answered. I would highly recommend this home to create those special family memories. ##### Mike B. Stayed 6 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon F. 9 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Colorado family vacation The property was fabulous for my grandkids (7 kids 7 years and under). They loved the rope swing, playhouse and monkey bars. The backyard fire pit was great in the evenings. We enjoyed the chess board embedded in the table, many games were played. We’ve talked about enjoying this house again on a future trip. ##### Sharon F.
