I did write a review shortly after we returned, it must have gotten lost somewhere in cyberspace. I will summarize: although the weather was uncharacteristically warm for Colorado (mid to upper 80's) the family had a great time. The home was beautiful and very well equipped. The view of the valley and mountains was phenomenal. Everyone enjoyed the facility especially the hot tub and the pool table. We primary hiked at several different locations in the area. We toured Winter Park and road the ski lift to the top of the slopes, that was great. We drove to the top of Rocky Mountain National Park, it too was quite scenic and beautiful. We ate out at several restaurants in the general area, we brought in pizza, we BBQ'd and we baked an egg casserole for breakfast. We entertained ourselves with games while relaxing at night from a hard day's effort.
To help improve the stay for future residents we would recommend more and better ceiling fans for the occasional warm weather and nights, sleeping upstairs particularly was a little rough. Maybe even a portable fan or two could be made available. Again because of the unusually warm weather, the deck was very warm to hot with no shade a good deal of the day, perhaps some awnings or tables with umbrellas would aid that situation. I realize during the snowy, skiing season these recommendations aren't important or necessary but you are also renting during the summer season, the weather apparently can get a little out of character occasionally. Please be aware too that at some time you are going to have to trim or remove trees, otherwise you are going to lose your view of the beautiful mountains. We did spend time on the deck, primarily early morning before we would venture out or later in the evenings as we relaxed from a busy, active day, the deck furniture could use an upgrade with some better padding. We were also disappointed that there weren't more TV's available, primarily in the children's quarters.
