Beautiful!

The property was absolutely stunning. More than enough room for my family of 5 and amenities were great! The lake view was beautiful and little bit of snow we got made it even more wonderful. Scenic drive from Estes Park and short drive to Denver.

Absolutely beautiful mountain chalet!

Do not hesitate to book this beautiful mountain chalet! From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The views are beautiful of the combination of the lake and the mountains. Everything inside and outside is top notch quality! The hot tub, fire pit table, fireplace and kayaks were above and beyond amenities that created a fun and luxurious atmosphere. We loved the location as we explored surrounding Colorado areas including Rocky Mountain National Park, Idaho Springs for white water rafting, Garden of the Gods, and Pikes Peak.

Modern, Bright, Clean Lakeside Mountain Cabin

This place satisfied my high standards and honestly hard-to-please wishes: a modern, clean rental with big windows on a lake in the CO mtns. Eric was outstanding - very responsive to questions. Hot tub iis new and well maintained as well. High end kitchen gear was a bonus as well. I'll be back when the lake isnt frozen :) !

Lovely mountain escape

Wonderful views, very quiet and peaceful. The home was newly redone and perfectly polished. Had all the necessities for cooking. Loved spending time on the porch and in the hot tub. Plenty of towels/linens. No real dining table but lots of room at the eat in bar. Only suggestion I can offer is to upgrade the beds to kings 😉 All and all, a lovely mountain escape & would definitely recommend staying here!
