The house was spacious and clean but a few things could have been improved. The linens were thin and some were shredded. The lighting in some rooms really needed brighter bulbs, the kitchen was well stocked and even had spices provided. We especially liked the fenced in area for our dogs. Our biggest issue was that the hot water did not work in one bathroom sink and that was very inconvenient ##### Ronna D.

We loved everything about our stay!! The cabin and property were impressive, and the view took our breath away when we drove up. We were lucky enough to experience a small snowstorm while here, and we enjoyed it in the warmth of the hot tub. It was just the two of us this time, but we plan to return as a big family group as well, and there’s plenty of space to accommodate! The living room is great, and there’s an assortment of games and books on both levels that we made good use of. The master bath tub was spectacular! The bed was super comfy and there were lots of extra blankets and pillows in the closets. WiFi was great and the smart tv was great for movie night. We enjoyed the area very much and we look forward to coming back!! ##### Deardre W.

Amazing architecture and so Colorado! We were impressed by the spaciousness of the property and the home that has room for 12 in 5 bedrooms. The furnishings are older but very comfortable with plenty of seating. I especially liked that there was only one t.v. in a t.v. room so peple interacted more instead of watching t.v.. The 3 beds we used were very comfortable. The 3 bathrooms were serviceable though not updated. Masterbath was very spacious. It's a perfect family reunion gathering place! It also accomodated our dogs well with a large fenced in area in the yard. The large patio with comfortable furniture and a large table were great and a place to hang out and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The kitchen was nice and well equiped. We appreciated the guidebook provided but did not see the welcome package as noted on the backdoor. There are several notes taped up as reminders of house rules which is always appreciated! There are a few upkeep items like a back door that we could not lock and the large trash barrel outside that is not bear proof. But it was a really nice place to spend a few days. ##### Kristi S.
