Our family returned recently from a week in early August at the Sky Lodge and we really loved the location of this property. The view from the deck was amazing. This is probably the best stocked vacation home we have ever rented (and we rent from coast to coast) and I most certainly over-packed on the kitchen and pantry essentials. As in other reviews, the altitude of the cabin is high (just under 12k feet) and it takes a little while to get used to the thinner air, so for the first half of the week we all took a lot of naps until we became acclimated. This is a three level home, plus steps into the garage to leave and go anywhere, so until you get used to the altitude you are literally catching your breath at every level after climbing flights of stairs. The summer evenings were perfect for the hot tub and the shooting stars were endless in the night sky. There are aspects of the property that need to be addressed,which is why I only gave our stay a 4-star rating instead of 5 stars: There is a table and one bench on the porch to sit and that's all. We found three folding chairs in the garage and all but one were broken, along with the second broken bench. It's summertime and the view is gorgeous. There needs to be seating on all the decks, even off the master bedroom! The chiminea would have been a nice touch at night on the patio (it was in desperate need of cleaning) if we could have relaxed around it with seating. The game table downstairs has had the glass broken out of it and not been replaced, so you can't use the table for anything because it's a wagon wheel. However, the game room is one of the reasons we rented the home and our adult kids loved the shuffleboard table and working on a puzzle together during down time. Overall, it's a nice family rental and the humidifiers in all the bedrooms was much appreciated, as well as the fully stocked kitchen. I just believe that management needs to communicate better with the owners on what needs to be updated and replaced as it's what they are paid to do - manage the property. Some decor was broken on that mantle that left me sad for the owners as I could see the thought and time it took to bring Texas to the Colorado mountains. The email from the owners (who live in Austin, Tx) was very nice to have in preparation for our trip and came complete with all the How-To's to go with a nice welcome.
