My family which included my husband, three children, two grandkids, and myself enjoyed Stephen's home from 6/14-6/21/13. We are from Illinois and love Colorado. We have vacationed here 4 times. This was the first time we rented while on vacation. We loved it!! The home is very nice and located In a beautiful place. The view from the deck is breathtaking! We spent many hours sitting at the patio table just looking at the view! We watched a fox everyday we were there, rabbits, hummingbirds, and mule deer. The mule deer had a spotted fawn on the property that we were able to see the last few days there!
The house was furnished with everything we needed, except the washer and dryer was not for guest use like the description said(we had to go to Woodland Park to do laundry). The kitchen had pots, pans, and dishes for our use. We even had a waffle iron that we used! We used all the furnished paper plates but was able to purchase more at the store in Divide. We cooked all week, grilling for lunch and dinner. I enjoyed having the dish washer too! We took a gate with us for the deck, which the grandkids enjoyed running back and forth on! The inside of the house was well kept and had ample space for all seven of us. We had space to play games, watch TV, roll on the floor with the kids, and just chill out! No need for air, the evenings were cool and nice.
The location was great! We traveled short distances to the Wolf Center, The Dinosaur Museum, Mueller Park, Pikes Peak, and various hiking trails.
I truly feel we got our money worth! My son said "we should make an offer on this place". I can't see why anyone would want to leave this place!
Stephen was very easy to work with in securing the property for our vacation. The housecleaner was very nice and helpful, also!
If you're looking for a vacation spot with a beautiful view~this is it!
Great view, great location, great furnishings, great price!!!
Thank you
