Beautiful home with plenty of space for a couple of families. Lots of dining space and a huge deck. The garage is a plus for winter stays when you don't want to spend time cleaning off the car. Plenty of deer roaming nearby and we even saw a moose up close near the bottom of the hill. I would recommend an AWD vehicle as the roads are improved but not paved.

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We’re really glad to hear the home had plenty of space for your group and that you enjoyed the dining areas, the huge deck, and the convenience of the garage during winter weather. Wildlife sightings — especially a moose near the bottom of the hill — always make the stay feel extra special.
We also appreciate you mentioning the road conditions. The area is beautiful but more rural, and while the roads are maintained, they aren’t paved. For that reason, we recommend a 4WD vehicle, and during the winter and shoulder seasons, snow tires or chains as well. Weather in the mountains can shift quickly, and having the right setup ensures the smoothest and safest arrival.
Thanks again for choosing our place. We’d be happy to welcome you back anytime.
Elk Ridge is a beautiful home with great accommodations for family or friend time. It is located within 15 min of Fairplay, as to seek out shopping or eating, but also a reasonable drive to Buena Vista or 14ers for mountain fun!

This home was very wonderful, it was stocked with everything we could possibly need for a whole week. The views were amazing, it's very well located to be able to ride some of the biggest resorts. We felt like we were at home our whole stay. We can't wait to come back and visit.
Everybody had a great time and the amenities were accurate. Beautiful forest views and cozy basement. We took advantage of the hot tub. People complemented that it was the easiest hot tub they used.

Bartham, thank you for choosing to stay with second home vacation rental! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay! You hope that you will visit again soon!
Our stay was great! Everything was beautiful and as promised. Two very small improvements that could be made is the dvd player wasn't working for us and the quality of the cookware was not ideal. Outside of that everything was perfect and all 8 of us had an amazing time!

Thank you so much for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We’re thrilled to hear that everything was beautiful and as promised, and that your group had such a wonderful time.
We also appreciate your notes about the DVD player and cookware. A new DVD player was installed shortly after your stay, along with additional DVDs for guests to enjoy. As for the cookware, we keep a variety of options on hand to accommodate different types of guests, and we continually review the marketplace for pieces that can hold up well in a short‑term rental environment while still offering higher‑touch finishes. Your feedback helps guide those updates.
Thanks again for choosing our place — we’d be happy to welcome you all back anytime.
We had 8 adults and this mountain home worked great! Four bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms was ideal. The three levels allows people spread out and the large deck helps also. The property manager was very helpful too! We enjoyed gathering our family for a special vacation.

Thank you so much for sharing this thoughtful review. We’re really glad to hear the home worked so well for your group — having four bedrooms, plenty of bathrooms, and three levels really does make it easy for everyone to spread out while still enjoying time together. The large deck is a favorite for many guests, and it’s great to know it added to your stay as well.
We also appreciate your kind words about the property manager. We aim to be helpful, responsive, and supportive without ever being intrusive, so it’s wonderful to hear that came through.
Thank you again for choosing our mountain home for your family’s special vacation. You’re welcome back anytime.
We absolutely loved this property! The surroundings are beautiful and the layout of the house was perfect for everyone to have their own space and come together in the common areas.
This family group hadn't been all together since before 2019. It was a refreshing and fun environment to be all together!

So Beautiful
The cabin is beautiful! The views were fantastic. We loved the big kitchen so we could feed everyone. The beds were comfy. The house is big enough that we could be together but everyone still had their own space. Best way to travel for two families.

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely review. We're really glad to hear the cabin worked so well for your group — from the beautiful views to the big kitchen that makes cooking for a crowd actually enjoyable. It's great knowing everyone had comfortable beds and plenty of space to be together while still having room to spread out when needed.
We love hosting families and groups traveling together, so it means a lot to hear the home was the perfect setup for two families. Thank you again for choosing our place. You're welcome back anytime.
House and surrounding property was great. Everyone was very comfortable. Local grocer and brewery are good in town stops. Only suggestion would be to have a ceiling fan in the downstairs en-suite bedroom, but that’s probably because my wife and I use a ceiling fan year-round here in Texas.
Great vacation home. Beautiful views. Large porches and hot tub. The snow was beautiful. The couches were comfy and the fireplace was a big hit with our family of 8. Our only complaint…
No wine glasses…the views, and the fireplace , the porches…needed to be experienced with some good wine…🍷
We had the most wonderfully stay! This was the prefect place for our family to stay! It had everything we needed and more. Just like the pictures! Amazing view! The most beautiful sunrise and sunsets! FairPlay is a hidden gem in the mountains! Fishing, gold panning, moose, all sorts of wildlife! We will definitely be back:)
