We were so excited to find this gem in the heart of Black Hawk and looked forward to the spacious and sparkling home listed. At first on site glance, our hearts fell with slight disappointment. The home is somewhat smaller than pictures would have you believe, the carpet is in desperate need of replacement or a deep cleaning, and the beds are not at all comfortable (two are inhabitable for sleeping or even sitting on, and the freezer door would not open as the previous renter got something lodged inside. But, we were booked for 7 nights, and already there, so we decided not to complain, but make the most of our time in the cabin.
To our joy, we were able to have and extraordinary time! The weather was hot (heat wave) and the house was too, but on the 3rd day a cold front moved in and it really changed the ambience of the cabin. The place began to feel COZY and the night views are as spectacular as the gorgeous day mountain views. The jacuzzi is such a treat in the cool mountain air. We sat by the fire place, and enjoyed home cooking, as kitchen is fully stocked (even minus a freezer), and the master bedroom and two other rooms were an acquired comfort, and of course, the whirlpool bath is fantastic!! The dry sauna was a nice touch too! And the scenic drive into casinos, parks, and trails Is short. Plenty of places to explore on foot or if curving the mountains on your scooter or in your car is your thing, this is the perfect locations.
My wish is for new beds or at least new mattresses, clean carpet or replaced, and a working freezer to be installed, and if that were to happen, not only would this review change, but we would defiantly book again! Thank you 😊
