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.

There was confusion regarding who to contact as the listed number would go strait to voicemail but we were able to communicate with the rental property through a different number that checked in with us. The property is wonderful but it does need some work. The floor could be redone but in no way impacted our stay. Overall we had a great time together! ##### AnnsLee R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jess S. 26 Jun 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### BV Family Vacation The booking and check in process were easy. The size of the property is great for up to twelve people, including a bunk room for up to four. The cabin/lodge feel were really nice, especially for the rural location surrounded by wilderness. It is very quiet and there are lots of activities around for people of all ages. The things that could be improved: the dish washer was broken from when we arrived until we left. This is a big deal for a place that accommodates 12 people, spending lots of time having to clean dishes/pots/pans after every meal while on vacation. Also, one of the toilets kept backing up, so the plumbing is delicate. Finally, the railings on the front porch are broken. It isn’t a big deal, but it affects the aesthetic. It is a larger house, needs regular upkeep and some updating. I would stay here again, but only after efforts are made to improve some of these things. ##### Jess S. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristi S. 14 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful all log home The best thing is the all pine log interior. 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. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tom N. 28 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Double sided review I want to preface this review with the fact that we were refunded 1 nights stay. (Whether we felt this was adequate is not in this review.) Everything that is mentioned in the listing is correct and accurate. I am reviewing our experience. The good: Location is GREAT in between Salida and Buena Vista with great mountain views. It was quiet and secluded which we liked, however there are houses being built (150+ yards away) which somewhat ruin the view and potentially privacy as they are elevated. The property was as expected and displayed in the pictures. Bedrooms were nicely sized. Bathrooms were nice and clean with towels provided. The bad: Fees (yes I know these properties all have fees): The fees & taxes were over a 1/3 of the entire cost which included property management fees - more on that later. Upkeep: Generally good but parts of the yard around the deck were unkept and had random items there which we didn't know what they were there for. Caulking in kitchen was cracking which doesn't look nice but a simple fix. What's provided: We ran out of trash bags and dishwasher tabs which for a full house during Thanksgiving week, what was provided was inadequate. Suggested: Fridge with an ice maker that works. Garage fridge for additional space to comfortably accommodate a full house. The REALLY bad: We had no heating in the main living spaces from the moment we arrived (Bedrooms were heating just fine) so that means waking up to 50 degree mornings. A handyman which couldn't fix the issues was called which WE were responsible for waiting on him, and then also a HVAC tech which we were also responsible for waiting for. This was the responsibility of the property management and in turn took away from our activities during our stay as we were the ones who had to wait on them. After it wasn't fixed and I followed up again, 3 small space heaters were provided, 2 of them worked. DO NOT use the fireplace until it is properly serviced. We were told to use the fireplace as a placeholder the first night to help in the heating issues. The chimney did not do an adequate job removing the smoke/fumes and left a hazy lingering smoke in the living areas which causes a few of our guests to have headaches. The fireplace surround isn't properly sealed to the fireplace. You can see in the pictures the black soot on the fireplace in picture #7. We wanted to love this place but can only review our experience. Proactive maintenance needed. ##### Tom N.
