Great large family home!!! Pool Table, Hot Tub, Forested! Summer booking fast!!!

House was everything we hoped it would be and more! David was available when we needed him. The views from the common rooms were great, and the house was very spacious! Backyard with the hot tub was very welcoming! Would definitely stay again!

Our family and extended family stayed here over Christmas. The house comfortably held all 12 of us, kitchen is nicely stocked, everything was as advertised. David and Steve (owner) are super easy to work with and quick to respond. I highly recommend this property!

Sunshine House is a rustic lodge nestled in a lovely canyon with spectacular sunrises, wildflowers, turkeys and deer. The historic Schoolhouse and bell are visible from the deck. The house is close to summer activities, including white water rafting, hiking, gold panning and shopping. The Wild Animal Sanctuary is awesome!

The house is quite comfortable for a large group to lounge, play pool or watch a video. The grill works great. The deck and furniture are in desperate need of repair. We banged nails to make it safer and there are no railings for kids. We never used the hot tub, concerned about the green color.

The kitchen is well equipped with tools, pans and dishes. The microwave and inoperable food processor were repaired with duct tape. The waste disposal emitted a terrible odor under the sink.

There were plumbing issues.One toilet did not flush and a crescent wrench was used to operate a shower. We never used the laundry area beds due to the moldy smell.

Overall, as seasoned VRBO renters, we were disappointed in the condition of Sunshine House.

However, because of the unique character and location, we would consider another visit given assurances that repairs had been made.

What a great stay! The house and deck facilitated a great atmosphere for social interaction. I would recommend this property and looking forward to coming back. Also, Golden Hill Inn is a must for dinner when you are staying here.

We rented this place over Thanksgiving and had our family plus our in laws stay and we fit nicely (15 plus a baby). The bedrooms are spread out so we could put the early risers (and baby) in one wing and the late sleepers in another and not bother anyone! We made our entire thanksgiving feast (and pies from scratch) in the well equipped kitchen without any trouble- we had to purchase a mixer to use but everything else was already there for us. We loved the private, low traffic road as we walked the neighborhood/valley every day. It was great for the baby who toddled along beside us all- very safe, friendly area. We drove up the valley (2 minutes) and hiked the mountain, drove down the valley (4 minutes) and hiked Bald Mountain, explored Boulder and Estes Park and loved watching the wildlife all over the property. The boys loved scoping Mule Deer from the living room window, coffee cup in hand. We all (the baby especially) loved seeing the neighborhood Fox leaving his den every morning. The hot tub was nice too- decent condition but not very big (the 2 year old could stand up in it), maybe 3/4 adults could fit although we never tried. All in all we had a great time. The house itself is showing some wear (refrigerator leaks, microwave handle is broken, pool table is a little rough, overall needs a little spruce up) but it was such a great place to be it was easy for us to overlook those few silly things. It's got fabulous views, is centrally located and is a fun place to explore. We had a blast.
