The house was perfect for our needs. Just friends wanting a nice, clean, house with a lot of space to spread out and watch a lot of football games and sit on the deck and enjoy the view. Close to grocery store and good restaurants. Very enjoyable stay.
The staff responsiveness was very good. The place was very clean, and overall it was very nice and comfortable. However, based on our own experience as owners, and at staying at other mountain properties, there were a few things that were disappointing. We are used to there being at least a few extra paper products. There was no backup toilet paper or paper towels. Also, there was no facial tissue/Kleenex. In the bathrooms, there should either be a bottle of hand soap or a soap dish. Either one is fine, but bar soap with no soap dish was odd. The coffee pot needs to be replaced. It leaked and the filter overflowed every time because it would not drain properly. We would have expected there to be 2-3 blankets in the living area. Finally, the towels and wash cloths were sub-standard for what we would expect from a property t as nice as this one. Thank you for the chance to provide feedback.
Very happy with the home and the entire process! Before we arrived I had a couple of questions and they were quick to respond with answers! We are a family of 5 adults and two boys ages 8 and 6. They did not want to leave! Deer literally right outside the front door. They loved taking photos of them! They saw the wild horses and even took a video of a baby foal one evening. Saw elk multiple times! We spent time riding the Gondola at Ski Apache, played and entire day at Winterpark tubing! Fun for entire family. We drove the short drive to White Sands National Park and went Sand Sledding. If you like fun and adventure this house is perfect location to enjoy. If you just want to kick back and enjoy what the town has to offer, good food, nice drinks and shopping, this house is perfect location. We had a blast! When we were packing our grandson said, do we have to leave? WE WILL BE BACK!Thank you so much! Janet
Thank you for booking with Hummingbird Cabins! We are very glad to hear you enjoyed your stay! We hope to see you again soon!
