We recently took our three older children and family dog for a quick two-night getaway. While we enjoyed ourselves, there are a few things to be aware of.
First of all, the between-guests cleaning needs some work. My daughter found some dirty socks and a used Covid face mask under one of the twin beds in her room. The two Brita water pitchers left in the refrigerator were between 1/3-1/2 full, and had hand smudges and tiny food particles on their exteriors. Not a great first impression when everyone is worried about cleanliness, and who might have been there before them.
Secondly, the house has a number of things that need to be repaired. Both sliding screen doors can barely be moved, and one has a giant section of screen cut out around the handle. Additionally one of the main floor window's screen had fallen out completely. I managed to wedge it back in place, but who knows how long it will stay. These are kind of important, because with no air conditioning, you really need to be able to open the doors and windows in the evening and at night to cool the place down (it reached 83° inside during the day!). As it was, we opened them anyway, and had to deal with all of the bugs that got in.
I'm not sure how suitable this place would be for families with small children, because they installed a wood pellet stove for heat on the floor next to the sliding door to the deck (separate from the wood stove insert in the fireplace). Strangely, they vented it right through the exterior wall at knee level onto the deck. The vent pipe is kind of shielded by a couple of cinder blocks, but it doesn't seem very safe.
I agree with the previous reviewer who said the kitchen was missing a lot of things you would expect to have. We've stayed at many different vacation properties, and never before have we not had paper towels, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, or even a working can opener! Luckily, you're only about ten minutes from a grocery store, but you might want to check what's missing as soon as you get there to avoid surprises.
Lastly, be aware that there are separate tenants living directly below you. The owners ask you not to use the deck after 9pm, which is fine, but we were constantly worried about making too much noise.
I don't mean to just stress the negatives. The view from the deck was great, and the proximity to the Denver area is a definite plus. That said, for this kind of money, we've had much better experiences at other properties.
