Host was very accessible when questions arose. Property was well maintained and nice place to escape for some quiet and to allow the family a place to sleep in between skiing. Also loved that there were places for the grandson to play outside and in.

Enjoyed our stay! Lots of space for our group of 6 adults. The location was wonderful for everything we wanted to do. Lighting overall was too soft and could benefit from white lights in lieu of yellow. A postive experience and would stay again.

My group staying here for a week in September had a wonderful stay in this beautiful home. We came for R&R, to enjoy the changing color of the aspen leaves, and experience the bugling elk during their rut season. It was a perfect week! The home is very comfortable and equipped with anything you could possibly need. We hope to come back next fall.

Property was beautiful and exactly as described. We really enjoyed the quiet beauty of the home and creek, all the skylights, the cozy and well-equipped kitchen, dining room, and upstairs for playing games, the proximity to Idaho Springs, and the relaxing weekend away. Kiddo loved the train room and playground, and the kids' bunk room is isolated upstairs from the rest of the house which is great for getting kids to sleep when adults are still making noise elsewhere. Our only (minor) suggestion is to procure thicker toilet paper.

Thanks for the great review of our house. The toilet ppaper is thin and 1 ply because of the old plumbing. Our plumber recommended it to keep things working.😊

Perfect stay for the whole family

This is a wonderful stay for the whole family! The kiddos loved the treehouse and swing set outside and the play room inside. The adults loved the woodburning fireplace and cozy atmosphere. It's a beautiful home -- even better than the pictures. Would stay again!
