Disliked: Communication
Great valley views and living area, the house is a nice 1980s time capsule, ice trays included. Management is a third-party company you only discover after booking. many fees too. Had to speak with an argumentative call center rep when reporting a broken fireplace, when a calm apology would’ve done fine.

Hi Geoffrey, thank you for your review. I appreciate so much that you enjoyed this amazing home! I am the person who spoke with you the morning after your arrival. Unfortunately, the listing did not get updated and did not reflect the fact that the fireplace is temporarily not usable, that has now been done. I offered you a full refund if you wanted to find a different home as there are plenty this time of year however, you decided to stay. SkyRun Rocky Mountain does not have a call center, we have a small team of local people who live here in Estes Park, care for these homes and the guests who stay with us. Guests can see in the About Host section, before clicking on the book now button, that we are a property management company. We work hard everyday to provide a clean comfortable place to stay while exploring the rocky mountains. Guests can also see the total cost of their stay before booking, there are no additional fees. Knowing the total of the reservation before completing the booking process gives the guest control over whether they want to pay for this property or choose another. This home is one of my favorite homes, tucked in the hillside with an amazing view and easy access to downtown and RMNP. This is a great place for a family to spend time together and make lasting memories.

This property was perfect for our family stay. The open space between kitchen, living room and dining room allowed us all to be together but still have enough space. And those views... simply breathtaking! The kitchen was well appointed which we appreciated. The bedroom/batherooms were great size and the only small critique we would have is that the queen sized mattress really needs to be updated. My husband and I rolled into one another all night which led to me sleeping on the sofa the second night. Our three year old granddaughter enjoyed exploring the rocks behind the property and loved the neighboring horses as well. We appreciated the convenience to Estes Park as well as Rocky Mountain National Park too. This was a wonderful stay and we wouldn't hesitate to book it again next time.

What a view!! This place was honestly amazing. The location was about 10 minutes from downtown Estes and the property itself made you feel many miles away from anywhere.

Great location and view

The location of the home provided some seclusion but was still close enough to town/park for quick trips if needed. The view of the mountains from the living room was amazing. We saw elk and deer on/near the property on a daily basis and had a visit from a fox on the patio one evening. As far as the home, it had some things that were outdated (70’s feel when we first walked in) but the location and views more than made up for it.

Interesting house, great views. We arranged to rent it but couldn’t stay there because our dog was acting up and we had to stay at the house where she was. Really hope to stay there ourselves someday.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Mar, 2020
Thank you for your review, Jon. You reserved Stutzhaven for 9 nights - I'm so sorry you weren't able to enjoy this spacious home! It does have unique charm reflecting architectural elegance. Guests always enjoy the massive living room rock fireplace and amazing views. You mentioned not being able to connect to WiFi and TV. I do hope whomever stayed in the home contacted our local SkyRun office to assist you with getting connected. We always respond to and support our guest requests for assistance! Please keep Stutzhaven in mind when you return to Estes Park. A visit in the fall or winter will provide amazing nature scenes to revel in and cherish. Carol
