• Great place, great pricing.

  5/5

  This was a fabulous place for a weekend in the mountains. Very comfortable accommodations, warm and light from big windows for great views. Deck is a great place for coffee in the morning. Propane fireplace easy to use and great heat output. The beds were very comfortable. The kitchen is remarkably well outfitted.

  The listing indicated they have been updating and remodeling and it is obvious with really cool conduction stove top and what not. It is rustic, yet modern and gives all the comforts of home.

  Since this address is a large lot, our siri kept telling us we arrived, yet we didn't see the address. It is because streets are on 3 sides of the property. It just took us a minute to figure that out. Take the listing serious that 4 WD is needed in winter and in mud season.

• Perfect location

  5/5

  We decided on taking a vacation last min and this spot was priced right with the right amount of rooms for my family . It’s pet friendly which is amazing because we take our little dog everywhere. The only bad thing I could say is that there was no washer and dryer but there is a laundry mat nearby . When you walk in, there’s a boot room which had a bit of a smell but it’s a BOOT ROOM so that’s expected. It didn’t bother my family one bit . Overall I’d say it was amazing and would go again .

• Much to appreciate

  5/5

  This worked really well for a family weekend that included our young adult “kids” and infant and toddler grandkids. The house was well stocked with supplies, kitchen utensils, spices, games and activities around the house. Thomas was very responsive whenever I had questions. I liked that it was two bedrooms upstairs and a bathroom, and one bedroom and a bathroom downstairs. This gave just enough separation when needed. It’s good to know that there is no door to close off the stairs going to the basement. I am glad we had thought ahead and brought a baby gate. There were a couple of small appliances missing that we would’ve liked to of used, a toaster, and a hairdryer, but Thomas was very responsive and thought that they were in the unit. I’m sure they will be either found or replaced soon.Overall, it was comfortable, clean, well stocked, and a great place to stargaze at night. It was also a quick drive to Shadow Mountain Lake. We thoroughly enjoyed renting a pontoon boat for half a day from Trail Ridge Marina, just down the road from this house.

• Property misrepresented as “NEW! Newly renovated etc.

  1/5

  Upon arriving at the property we went in looking forward to a fun restful week with our family. Upon opening the front door we smelled a strong unpleasant pinesol type odor. The front door opened to a storage type room. The ovens were in this room. Not in what was described as the fully equipped kitchen. The 2 bathrooms were sloppy. They had toilet brushes laying on the floor behind the toilets, old dirty bath mats, blue paint sloppily painted on the walls that was also on the white ceiling. The baseboards were very dirty. The carpet in the bedrooms was stained therefore looked dirty. Blanket on

  Manager's Response:

  From the Owner:
  -The home was never advertised as “NEW,” and a quick view of the pictures can confirm it is not new. It has received nearly $100k in renovations over the last 9 years, though we still have plenty more to do.
  -We don’t use pine sol in the house, but there are plenty of pines in the surrounding area. The front entry goes through a mud room, which is great when you need to take off muddy shoes, jackets, etc., before walking into the house.
  -The kitchen is fully equipped and the oven was placed in the adjacent room to allow for an open concept while offering our guests a full-sized double oven that you can reach while still standing in the kitchen.
  - The house is cleaned before every stay, including the bath mats. The carpets were brand new as of March 2022 and were steam cleaned recently.
  -Most of the home does not have baseboards, and we found the ones that are there, to be quite clean upon inspection.
  
  We also offered a partial refund even though the guest was well past the cancellation period.
