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.

Thank you for your lovely review. I agree, more living seating. As a property manager, I have placed several more chairs in the living room.... it really needs a sectional couch!
Happy Easter

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.

Close to town, nice property and wonderful views. Had a couple of issues, quickly resolved by property manager. This is our second time at this location and we will book 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!

Great value, great location, great house overall!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at this property in Steamboat. It was close enough to town to make for easy access, but just outside enough to give you a little bit of space. The house is well stocked with pretty much everything that we could have needed for our stay. Will definitely be looking to stay here again in the future.

Wonderful vacation house!
Our family was delighted with the Howelsen House in Steamboat Springs. It was beautifully situated with spectacular views of the mountains and town and very convenient to all facilities. The home is well equipped with a complete kitchen, comfortable bedrooms and plenty of space for our family. We enjoyed every moment of our recent stay.
