This home was very comfortable with a rustic vibe. The kitchen had everything and table seating was accommodating for our party. While the home sleeps 12, the living room area could use more chairs- it only had seating for 7.Location was great and 5 minute drive from downtown. Perfect for skiing and a large family. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Great setup for a large family gathering! Easy access to popular hiking trail up the street. Quick walk or drive to downtown! Very quiet, well-equipped, comfortable home. Can sit outside the house on two sides each of which has its own great views! Hot tub worked great after a day of skiing! Would definitely stay again.

Exactly what we needed for a small family Thanksgiving get together. Plenty of comfortable space with split levels giving everyone their privacy. Hot tub was clean, the host left a grill with charcoal for us when we requested to use it. Host is very reposponsive. Place was decorated for Christmas which was a nice touch. Literally 5 minutes from everything in Steamboat. There is a popular hiking trail at the end of the road. Neighbors were very nice. Highly recommend Mazzola's for dinner while you are in town. Happy Holiday's!

Big beautiful house, scenic and convenient location

We stayed here for an extended family Thanksgiving get-together. The house was spacious and well appointed, with a stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. The property manager was very communicative on the front and back end. Every room has a scenic view. There is a hiking trail just up the road, and another trail just down the road that takes you straight to town. We really enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful home and ideal location

Really enjoyed our one week stay at this lovely steamboat springs home. I loved how communicative the property manager was and the location can’t be beat. The views of the mountains are beautiful and the hiking paths behind the home were fun to explore. We also walked to downtown which was only a 10 minute stroll. The layout of the house was ideal - one master on the 1st floor, two bedrooms on the 2nd floor and 2 bedrooms on the 3rd floor. We spent most of our time in the spacious kitchen making meals and eating on the balcony. Convenient location close to hot springs, breweries, playgrounds and shops. Fabulous stay!

Great location. Great town.

We had a wonderful stay in Steamboat and this comfortable, well-outfitted home was a perfect complement to our trip. My husband, 70-yr-old mother, and 5-yr-old-daughter joined me for our spring break trip and there was plenty to meet all of our needs. We absolutely loved the town and community and had many adventures skiing, snowshoeing, sledding, making snowmen, going to gymnastics, story time at the local library, enjoying the hot springs, fantastic meals out every evening, and beautiful views from the living room of this home. We contacted the property manager for a couple of items and she was swift with her response and assistance. We will definitely come back in the future!

Easy and comfortable

The home was large and comfortable. It was clean and we had all the expected supplies so we did not have to make a quick run to the store on day one. We had good communication with the agent and everything worked properly. The only issue was that there were flies and a few wasps in the loft. We do not blame the home or the agency for this act if nature.

Excellent space for gatherings but also individual space. Sleeping areas on different levels offered various choices for singles and couples. I have never seen a rental stocked so well, even baby gates, eating utensils, toys. Kitchen was stocked very well. Loved all the decks! Watched sunrise on one and sunset on another + an additional one. Hot tub was great and lovely ground floor patio area with chairs and tables. Bike paths right there. Ski equipment room and roomy garage. The communication was superb both before arrival, requirements, instructions and after.

Perfect mountain rental

This house is an incredible place; after only 15 minutes our group was planning a winter return to the property. The common areas are as lovely as they appear in pictures, with a dining room table that accommodates a big group of people and living room space that is large enough for a group to sit comfortably but feel cozy at the same time. The bedrooms feel very private from the common areas, as many are located in a different wing of the house. There were private decks/patios off of a couple of them, which made for a very romantic and cozy place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning. And the beds were the most comfortable I have had in a rental in a long time, possibly ever! The location is perfect, it's a 15 minute walk to downtown Steamboat and there are extensive cross country ski trails right behind the house. Our group loved exiting the house and being only a 2 minute walk from hiking or trail running in the morning up in the aspen groves. The rental manager was easy to communicate with and made sure our stay was perfect. Literally the ONLY complaint anyone had all weekend was that we couldn't make coffee fast enough for everyone. I'm pretty sure if that's the only issue the rental is as close to perfect as it can be!!!! I'd highly recommend this place for a group of friends looking to play in the town and in the mountains.

Hands down best option for large groups in Steamboat

First, the location is perfect. We are used to Breckenridge where we often have to drive a ways to get to the slopes and restaurants. This house feels private and is very quiet, peaceful, and what you want out of a mountain home, yet it is only four minute drive to restaurants. The house itself is huge with plenty of room to accomodate big groups. It is gorgeous and as pictured. We did have some issues with appliances - the washer didn't work, which made laundry challenging with all our outdoor activities. Candice did pay for laundry service and when the laundry was closed, the house service lady did the laundry herself. There were a few mishaps along the way, but Candice and Jessica truly did everything they could and it is certainly not their fault that the washer broke. As far as Steamboat goes, this was our first time and we loved it so much that I am literally looking for a job there. The town is no where near as crowded as Breckenridge and everything is so conveniently located. I was also pleased that grocery prices were reasonable. For activities, our family favorite was Strawberry hot springs. We also LOVED Saddleback ranch. We did a winter horse ride and snow tubing. And of course skiing. Trails were just as good as Breckenridge. The Steamboat Yampa airport is so easy to navigate that a child could do it and the airport staff were friendly- that's not something we see often in the big cities we are used to. Snowmobiling at Saddleback is also recommended. Comfy beds

Steamboat Thanksgiving

So impressed with the level and quality of the entire location. The home was rustic, cozy and comfortable with room for all. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to serve a Thanksgiving meal including ham, and turkey with stuffing. The hot tub was very comfortable and user friendly. A bonus for us was the location. We could, sled, ski or cross country all at the hill up the block. We walked to old town in 15 minutes. It was the best ever and we hope to return sometime.

Ladies Get Away

We were a group of eleven ladies from several different states that met in Steamboat for a long weekend. The property accommodated us well. The one drawback for our party was that the two women that shared the loft had to share the main floor bathroom. The stairs are treacheraous in the middle of the night. The views are spectacular and we loved the location! The property is close to town and walkable although the walk back is a bit steep. Overall, we all agreed that if we meet again in Steamboat we would stay here again. Thank you.

Howlsen property

we enjoyed the stay very much. the house was spacious and had plenty of plates, cups glasses and siver ware and other sundries that made things easy. the location was very good. One item that we were concerned about was the loft area which didn't seem very good (safe) for small children due to no railing at the top. A ittle heads up on that would help. All and all a nice place with a lot of room and great views.
