Wedding Day!
We had our wedding here last weekend and it was absolutely beautiful. There was plenty of room for a tent and the gazebo that you can decorate was perfect. This property is amazing for weddings. The inside of the house was cozy, and clean. The poker tables were a hit with the groomsmen! There was plenty of room for everyone. Darcy was very communicative and let us check the property out twice before the big day! Thank you Darcy! We definitely enjoyed our time here!

What an amazing property!!! We had a golf outing for 7 guys and we couldn’t have had a better experience. The home is spacious and very comfortable. It has a great old western vibe along with a large outdoor space. It was perfect for our needs. I highly recommend this wonderful home and would definitely book it again!!!

Great stay & great place for our small wedding!
We had a small wedding of about 50 people at this VRBO, and it was great! We also rented out the small church across the street for our ceremony, which worked out perfectly. At the house, they recently upgraded the porta-potty bathrooms, which was great! The house is beautiful, and all of the rooms feel secluded, which made it extra cozy for everyone who stayed here! We rented a tent for our reception, which worked out great on the property and the gas heater & fire pits provided a good amount of heat on the porch! We also had a food truck (High Society Pizza) which was the perfect solution for this type of backyard wedding. There's plenty of parking as well. Overall, we had a super special wedding weekend with our family and friends, and would totally recommend this property to others!

Christmas Stay
This house was decorated beautifully for Christmas, tree included! The ambience gave us all such a cozy and magical experience. There was plenty to do at the house to keep us entertained on the more snowy days. The windy road down to the house should be used with caution during the snowy/icey months, as not all parts of it has guard rails/barriers. Overall, a beautiful time was spent there, and we would definitely stay again.

Roomy and well-equipped
Our group had an enjoyable stay. It is a quick drive off of I-70 and easy to find. There is plenty of space for people spread out (when desired), and lunch on the deck (with one's choice of sun or shade) was a highlight. We chose to avail ourselves of some lovely hiking trails a short drive away. The orientation by the owner upon arrival was very helpful, as well.

Beautiful Fall Wedding
We rented this place for our October wedding and it was beautiful! Darcy was a wonderful host and even went beyond to help our vendors set up when we had a scheduling issue. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. My Husband and I stayed there along with some of our family and our wedding party. We had more than enough space for everyone to be comfortable. This is the perfect place for a mid-sized wedding!

Cool venue for weddings
We had a wedding with 80 people here and the venue itself gets 5 stars. Exactly as pictured, with lots of space indoors for family. If you are considering having an event here, ensure that you read the fine print as there is a fee per person for the event as well as for the porta potties. The tables, chairs, and tents that are included are a definite plus. A very cool property for weddings.

A great week in Golden
First time in the area so we rented a large home to accommodate the kids flying in (with 2 little grands as well) from different parts of the country. The house was a great size for us all. Had fun just sitting on the large porch playing cards all night. Coming equipped with the little things (like shampoo! - large bottles!) is great so you don't feel like you have to bring or buy everything. Great location - we went into Golden, Estes Park, some kids did gliding, skydiving, Coors tasting, golf and more. Was a great and relaxing week and we enjoyed everythign. Darcy provided lots of info as to activities and ideas as well. She even helped us when the neighbors dog visited :) She was very responsive to our text messages. Great experience all round.

Lovely Colorado Experience
We held out wedding here and could not have asked for a better experience. We expected a warm spring wedding and ended with 6inches of snow and the barn provided us with the options to be indoor and outdoor. We had just over 40 people and this space was the perfect size. The house was extremely spacious for the 12 of us with enough living space that we could all be together and enough space to be apart. Being able to stay at the same venue where we had the wedding made the whole event low stress as we could set up the days leading up to it and has time to clean up the day after. Darcy is also awesome to work with!! We would 100% come back to this place even without a wedding!

Nothing short of amazing
I rented this property for my son's wedding and it was absolutely spectacular. The venue itself is beautiful and perfect for a gathering of family and friends. The house has plenty of room and the decor is amazing. The barn was perfect for the reception and there are so many beautiful spots for pictures... not to mention the fun we had sledding down the snow covered hills. I couldn't have picked a more perfect place to make such special memories. Darcy was very accommodating, helpful, responsive, and we so appreciate everything! You cannot go wrong with this property and we will be back!

Fun Cabin with a perfect location
The cabin was pretty awesome! It has all of the items that you would need to enjoy a getaway with friends and family. It's also right down the interstate from a shopping center where you can grab any items missing. It's a short hop to downtown Denver, and the slopes are less than an hour away, which is perfect for anyone looking to ski or snowboard, but doesn't want to sleep at high elevation! The only thing to note is there is a black and white dog that will visit every so often, so if you love dogs, it's a nice hidden perk. If someone in your group is scared though, just communicate with the host!

Beautiful views and big spacious property
Overall, the property is great as expected. Massive property with a big house to fit lots of people. Fully stocked kitchen with a lot of extra supplies available such as spices and small kitchen appliances. A couple things that were not so good: host determined check in time and were very pushy even though we traveled through a snow storm. Central heating was set to 68°F in a locked box while it was 22°F outside - the only way to heat the house above 68°F was with stationary heaters. Even though the property is “dog friendly”, the host expected us to put the dogs into the garage when leaving them home alone. Which lead us to taking the dogs everywhere with us the whole time. Additionally, dogs were restricted to where they could go in the house and weren’t allowed on furniture.
