Saddlebrooke

"My husband and I stayed in this gorgeous home for nearly three weeks. We arrived late at night, exhausted after a cross-country move. After we unpacked, I stood outside and saw billions of stars above versus the single star I'd been able to see above the lights of downtown Chicago for years. How wonderful that moment. Then I saw 4 shooting stars. An auspicious beginning! The next morning, the floor to ceiling windows of the living room stunned us with a view of the breathtaking mountains. They reminded me of The Sound of Music. So beautiful. The house was spacious, the kitchen area fabulously roomy. The living room had a large mounted TV screen and fantastic speakers making for a great viewing experience. The rooms were cool, which was great since we were there in August. We did not have an opportunity to use the golf cart and see the Clubhouses, etc. because we were busy setting up our new home, finding doctors for my husband, and so on---but driving in and out of the Saddlebrooke area was -- in certain areas -- almost like being in some fairy tale. It's so beautifully landscaped. Again, really breathtaking. The owners have a simple manual, which explains all you need to know while in the house, with recommendations for the Clubhouse and so forth. This was extremely helpful and easy to follow. Highly recommended."

"We have been coming to Saddlebrooke since 2005 and this was, by far, the cleanest and most comfortable home we've stayed in. The house had a wonderfully equipped kitchen and was well-stocked with paper products, soap, etc. Views from the back patio were fantastic! The location is perfect, less than a mile walk to two swimming pools, but we utilized the included bicycles to get around quite often...helmets were provided! Also, if you're looking for a nice shady walk early in the morning, head up the hill from the house and follow the street along the bluff. Even when the sun came out, it stayed nice and cool along that route. We will definitely stay again on our next trip if the home is available...although with amenities like these, I'm sure it books up quickly!"
