There were plenty of fun things to do with the kids indoors and out while we stayed, even with the water level low. The area is beautiful and the stars were amazing!
Another wonderful stay at the lake house! We love this place so much we are hoping to make it a yearly tradition. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Thank you so much! We love repeat guests! You are welcome back any time.
This VRBO property was amazing! Wonderful home, very well stocked, clean and comfortable. So much to do for the family and what a beautiful area. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay. The best place we have rented on VRBO by far!!!
Beutiful place. Shuffle board and fooseball table was a fun way to spend the evening. Great location close to National forest. Definately will be back.
Great experience. Amazing views and beautiful serene nights by the fire overlooking the lake. Location is great and the house is fully stocked for fun times. We were sad to leave and will hopefully be back soon.
This was particularly nice for our family. Tons of games and videos on hand for kids if needed, although the weather was too nice to stay inside and use them. The marina is a quick 2 minute drive away or you can walk. Plenty of outdoor things to do in the area. It's a really nice place and the owners were super responsive for our last minute booking.
We had a great time at this family cabin!!! It was awesome to be so close to the boat dock and the views were unbelievable!!! We got all the Kokanee we could and even our pug was in heaven with all the dog toys!!! Thanks again for making this family trip a stress free time!!! We can’t wait to come back next year!!!
We can’t wait to go back! I don’t know who loved the shuffleboard more… the kids or my husband!? The views are amazing and this cabin feels like home. There is a short walk to the lake where we rented a boat for the day. Thank you for opening your cabin up to us as we created a ton of family memories!
Great location, games, and water sports activities. Hosts very communicative. Home is tired looking with some deferred maintenance on both interior and exterior. Felt pricey at nearly 500/night for only one bathroom, eating off plastic plates and cups, and no dishwasher. Having to print and fill out a contract to not damage property seems a bit excessive given the current condition of the home.

This home is 100 years old and maintenance is nearly impossible given the rules in Summit County. That is actually why we have a rental agreement so that we can try to make guests understand how to best take care of our house. Also our rates are not that price, but we cannot control taxes and fees charged by the sites. We apologize for the plastic dishes, but so many have been broken we couldn't afford to keep replacing them.
This turned out to be a great space for our family of 6 (plus two dogs!). We really wanted a relaxing place that had options for the kids to stay busy but really unplug from normal life. From paddle boarding and cliff jumping to fishing, darts, and renting a pontoon boat one day it really was fun. There were some afternoon showers but nothing too bad. You cannot beat the view in the back sitting around the campfire every night. I think it also made the kids appreciate some of the conveniences like a dishwasher, garbage disposal and more than one bathroom that they take for granted at home!! None of that was a big deal though, we managed just fine. Thanks so much!!

Relaxing, fun and exceptional family gathering spot just away from crowd
We found this house to be just what we were looking for. Somewhere a little quieter with great access to the water and other activities. First, the house met all our needs and was very comfortable for our family of 4 + lab dog and visiting grandparents. Everything we needed was there, worked well and was simple. The backyard was blissful, with hammock, extra seating, great for evening sits and entertaining. Our kids and visiting cousins LOVED the games and access to the water just a walk down the road, swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding every day. Was great to have phone plugged into the sound system and music throughout the house and outside deck. Fishing, a little slow- miss the Kokanee population of twenty years ago but laid-back Heeney has not changed much. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable, laid-back getaway exceptionally outfitted for family fun and gathering just off the crush of Summit county. Hope the be back again for a longer stay. Thanks Taylors!

We are so glad you were able to get the speakers to jam for your guests! We also wish there were salmon there as there was in the past! Maybe some day! We look forward to sharing our place with your family again in the future!
This is a really fantastic and versatile place. If you have kids, they will have plenty to do! There's horseshoes, ping-pong, darts, shuffleboard, and foosball! There's also a great entertainment center with movies and a Wii, as well as a plethora of board games! It could be a great romantic getaway without the kids, or even a fishing trip (judging by all of the pictures of huge fish)! We needed to relax and cloud-gaze in the backyard, but there are all kinds of outdoorsy things to do nearby as well!
All of the pictures and decorations made us feel like you were sharing your home with us, and it was so comfortable and cozy. We were also quite impressed with your shadow boxes, and it made us happy to know that we were supporting fellow veterans.
Having just arrived in Colorado (after driving from Alaska), this was exactly what my wife, my son, and I needed! We were a little shocked by the altitude change, but we adjusted fairly quickly and had a wonderful and relaxing time.
Thank you for letting us stay at your Cabin!
Semper Fi!

Thank you so much for your kind words. We are happy you enjoyed yourselves. Thanks for your service as well!
The house was perfect for what we were looking for, unplugging and quality family time. Hikes, the reservoir and the river are great. The house provided old school activities that we all enjoyed. Both the outside and inside fireplaces were utilized. The hosts were gracious and helpful. Check in/out was easy. We’ll be back.
This was the quiet summer getaway we needed! Our kids loved the games, the hammock, and the deer that stopped by to visit. We loved the solitude, the easy walk to the marina, the fire pit, and the fresh air!
My daughter, who is attending grad school in CA, usually likes to get away to the mountains when she is visiting. She also enjoys fishing so this was a perfect choice. We had lots of laughs and created many memories while out on a boat from the marina and all the things to do at the cabin. Shuffleboard and the hummers were my favorites. We will definitely be back!
Thank you for a great 3 days!
The property was spotlessly clean and immaculate when we walked in - it's a comfortable, home like space that is warm and welcoming. Truly, all you need to bring is clothes and groceries, it's that thoughtfully and well stocked. The games were varied and amazing to have at our disposal, the space is very well laid out and cozy. The deer across the back lawn and the humming birds remind you that the home is somewhat remote. The whole family had an amazing time.
Perfection in a vacation rental. So much to do at the house, let alone all the surrounding towns, mountains, lakes and rivers!! Would 100% recommend and would definitely return!
