We had a group of 18, kids included. This stay was nothing short of amazing!! Beautiful scenery and such a beautiful home. I’m Very grateful for the hosts as well, as they made our stay very easy and accommodating. We would definitely book with them again!
A truly beautiful home. The location is very hard to beat. It feels remote, and offers fantastic views of the mountains, a small stream running through the property behind the house, and several moose that made regular morning and evening appearances. The amenities in the house were as advertised - we particularly liked the whole house sound system, the pool table, the automatic fireplaces, and the hot tub. The hosts were very accessible and responsive. We highly recommend visiting the Mangy Moose!
We loved the location and size of this house. The house had everything we needed for our stay and plenty of beds for our party of 9. Our kids enjoyed the hot tube and our entire family enjoyed the pool table. The views from the house are fantastic and we enjoyed viewing moose, deer, and coyotes from the deck.

Daniel,
We're so glad you had a great time! We would be happy to invite you and your family back anytime.
Booked the Mangy Moose for our wedding. The hosts were both available whenever we had questions and ready to answer all. We have seen the residential moose Earl everyday leading to and on the day of the wedding. Check in and out instructions were simple and straight forward. It was an amazing home, property, stay and hosts! Will hope to visit again soon.

We're delighted you got to celebrate such a special occasion at the house. Looking forward to having y'all back soon!
The house was beautiful and well stocked. There are excellent amenities in the house (hot tub, pool table, games, puzzles, etc) The beds were comfortable as well which was a bonus. We would stay there again.
We could not have been happier with our stay, which was for a family reunion. The hosts go above and beyond. The house was clean and well equipped. The location was gorgeous. We are grateful and would definitely stay again.
Our stay was absolutely amazing. The property was described perfectly. Kia did an amazing job communicating and was very accommodating. We will definitely be back. Thank you very much for making our family vacation great.
We rented this beautiful place for a family vacation and a wedding ceremony. The house was beautiful and the view was breathtaking! We saw wildlife around the property everyday. The hosts were amazing throughout the entire process, and the communication was great, both prior and during our stay. The home was fully stocked with everything we needed plus many extras! It was a wonderful experience and hope to be able to do it again soon!

Thanks Amy!
We're delighted that you be choose our home for such a big family event. You were perfect guests and we would gladly welcome you and your family back anytime!
Everything about our stay was amazing. The views were spectacular and the location was perfect. Just 20 minutes from the nearest town with all the amenities you’d need (grocery, gas, coffee) but isolated enough that you have all the nature Colorado has to offer (we saw moose, countless deer, and so many humming birds!)The house was amazing. Well stocked and supplied, clean, and everything was labeled so no hunting around for the right cupboard. The hosts supply an oxygen concentrator, which was appreciated by all of us flat landers!

Thanks so much for the review. We are thrilled you saw so much wildlife & hope to have you back in the future!
This cabin was amazing!!! We rented the cabin for chrismtas week and it was everything and more. We have a large family and this cabins accommodations were spacious and clean. The views were amazing and the host was easy to reach as well as welcoming and quick woth responce. They had everything we needed and more. All the kids on this trip enjoyed every bit of nature as well as the game room and all the adults loved the living area and patio for morning coffee! We were able to get amazing pictures of the senery this cabin had to offer. We also saw a Moose and got a couome of pictures so the name is very fitting for this cabin. Being from Texas I though we were going to struggle with altittude so an oxygen concentrator was there just in case and we brought extra but we were not effected at all. I just want tocsay thank you to then host for everything and higly recommend.
We absolutely loved our stay at this wonderful mountain oasis. We had a large group for a family reunion, and tge home fit all of us perfectly. It was clean and comfortable with stunning views. We really enjoyed the hot tub and watching the sun rise from the upper deck. I can't wait to book another stay here next summer.

Cassandra,
We are thrilled to have you back next summer.
This place was the perfect getaway tucked into the mountains. We saw a lot of wildlife, including a moose right when we pulled up to the house. Kia was so friendly and checked in with me throughout our entire stay. We didn't want to leave! I would highly recommend this property.
My friends and I had a great stay here. The home was beautiful along with the views, and offers many amenities. We loved the clear directions and helpful signage throughout the home. Our hosts were very responsive prior and during our stay with any questions. I would highly recommend booking this home. The reason we chose this location was for overall bed options and location between our itinerary of skiing in Breck and hot springs at Mt Princeton.
We had 16 furefighter wives stay for a wonderful weekend! The kitchen was fully stocked and the layout worked so well to accommodate us all. We didn't get to see any wildlife but the view of Pikes Peak was pretty neat! Hope to return again soon!

Sarah, We'd be happy to have you back anytime! We definitely owe you a moose sighting, lol
Property was amazing. Family gathered and stayed comfortable. Plenty of room for our party of 10. Do recommend 4wd. The best part is the Hosts. Kia is an amazing host, top notch and thinks about everything!
A group of friends now spread around the globe get together when we can for a reunion. The Mangy Moose was very high quality, well stocked, well managed and BEAUTIFUL. A perfect place for quality time in a group.
My friends and I had a great time at the Mangy Moose. It was well stocked and had great amenities, as well as a beautiful view. We saw quite a few moose. The hosts were very communicative and flexible which was very helpful! I would happily return to this home in the future.

Sounds like you had a great time! We are disappointed that you left us our only 4 star review. We went above and beyond allowing an early check-in and late checkout. The cleaners arrived after your group and found the house in terrible shape. I'm assuming you knew we would leave a lower score for you, which is why you only gave us a 4 despite raving about the property and the flexible check-in and check-out times.
About the host
Hosted by Kia
We both grew up in the Midwest. Moved to Denver after College. Worked together building an insurance agency for 11yrs & transitioned away from insurance in 2021. Rob is the director of talent for Thrive Real Estate in Denver & Kia does most of the rentals (decorating, managing, & finding the next house). We love being hosts and hope you feel right at home when you stay with us.
Why they chose this property
We are not Colorado Natives, but moved here in 2004 & 2011. We had all 3 of our children here, so they are "Natives". We love all things Colorado - Hiking, Aspen Trees, Fly-fishing, Skiing/Snowboarding, Stargazing, Sunrises & Sunsets, Sports (Avalanche, Rockies, Broncos, Nuggets, Rapids) and so much more.
What makes this property unique
This house is the perfect getaway for our family. It's just under 2 hours from where we live in Denver. Our oldest just got his first Bow&Arrow set - so traversing the property on a summer day is so much fun. The kids love building forts and animal spotting - Mostly Moose, but there's plenty of cool birds, deer, and even Elk. We love star-gazing at night in the hot tub or relaxing after a day on the Slopes (Breckenridge & Copper). Our dogs: Sherlock, Maxwell, & Moose can't get enough outdoor time when we bring them up. We love the heated floors and automatic fireplaces in the winter. The whole house sound-system is great too. We love playing games as a family, so you'll find tons of cards, puzzles and board games too. There's also a few books - kids and adult (feel free to leave any behind).
