Great place for family and winter fun

Great home and location for a trip to Wolf Creek ski resort. The extra suite was a bonus for our family to spread out. Great place to spend the Christmas holidays!

We loved this property! It is off the main road with easy access to the highways. Set in a quiet neighborhood, it’s perfect for a getaway with all the amazing features. This place is very very spacious with a wonderful back yard for entertaining

Lovely property

Overall, the stay was very nice. But the stay was was marred by the initial check in. A week in advance, we received very detailed check in instructions. Key pad and code, lock box, etc. so after driving 14 hours, we get there after dark, primed with our detailed instructions. Key code did not work and there was no lock box. We stood in the cold just looking. Luckily someone thought to look under the mat and there was a key!? So we got in thankfully, luckily. We did call after hours and the owner, Beau, was extremely responsive and was able to get keys and help us get the guest house open, after a while. And while there were a few normal glitches with someone else’s house, the overall stay was lovely and very clean. But when I tried to communicate with the property manager Carrie, she was terse and extremely unapologetic regarding the debacle of check in. She had one job. Making sure we could get in to the property. A simple walk through after the last tenants left would have prevented this. Carrie, as clean as a property is does nothing if the tenants cannot access it. For others, I’m sure they have corrected the broken key pad and misplaced lock box so you can rent knowing the property is lovely, clean, and a great location.

Winter getaway

We stayed here for a week with another family and had 5 teenage boys!! The house was perfect for us! We had a few questions upon arrival and Beau responded immediately. There was an issue with the fireplace in the living room that we could not figure out and Beau came over and took care of it right away. I highly recommend staying here!

Great place to stay!

This house was perfect for our stay. It has plenty of space for all of us. We enjoyed the large kitchen and the three bathrooms in the main house. One of the couples with us stayed in the guest house which was perfect for them! We had a fire several nights and the large parking area was great for our two trucks and trailers to park and turn around in. We will definitely stay here again.

Great place!

This is a nice home and was great in most ways. Really only sleeps 11 unless one guest is a toddler. The 11th bed is a rollout bed from a closet. Upstairs there is a king-sized bed in the far side with a toddler futon. Then there is a partial wall and a queen sized bed. On the queen bed side around the corner is a small nook with a twin futon with twin pull-out. Downstairs is a beautiful large master suite with a king-sized bed. The guest house has a queen-sized bed. We loved that there are four bathrooms (one in the separate house, master bath, main level bath, and upstairs). Plenty of hot water as the guest house has its own water heater. Would have been very helpful if the kitchen had more food prep supplies to accommodate a large group. Bring your own crock pot, soup pots, etc. Living room is somewhat small with comfortable seating for five. Any other seating is chairs around the table or bar in the kitchen. Overall this is a great place though. Very well decorated, clean and accommodating. The property managers were easy to communicate with and quick in responding to questions.

Beautiful area!

The location of this property is ideal for traveling around to other areas. The yard is very pretty and we really enjoyed the fire pit in the evenings and coffee on the patio in the morning looking out over the yard to the mountains. My biggest complaint however is that most of the windows in this house do not open and there is no a/c. We were there in August and it was HOT. The kitchen could get no breeze at all which made cooking a struggle. We had to open the doors (with no screen door to keep the critters out) and put a fan there to try to get some air moving. If the windows in the living/dining/kitchen had opened it would have made all the difference in the world. On a good note, we did have an issue with the propane tank on the grill being empty and the management responded promptly to resolve the issue. Overall if you’re not staying here in the heat of the summer I would recommend this house!

Adorable and quaint- we were a family of 7! 5 adults and two kids

I write this review as someone who has used VRBO for vacations regularly! So I have experience & know when something is terrific & when something leaves us wishing we'd chosen differently. I rely on reviews to help me decide & hope this will do the same for you! Sleeps 10 easily. The main house has a master w/ a king, & upstairs (we called it the Loft but it has a door so it can be private!) sleeps a king, double, a twin w/ a trundle & it has a futon. I am NOT counting the futon b/c unless you're a young child (think 5 or so) this would be very uncomfortable. The master is large, & the unique thing is no closet. There are dressers! As a skier, we like to hang stuff up b/c it's bulky. Heating the house is fine; the master, main room & the loft all had their own heating systems. Upstairs could get warm - we just turned it off at night. The main room is not large- we all fit around the table but couldn't all sit in the den together. Some sat at the dining table. One TV. Bring your own board games. Things to remember! This is the first home we've rented w/ no spices, etc.. It is fully stocked with cookware & dishes! No Bath soap- (first rental w/out it.) Hair dryers needed in each bathroom (an extra touch to get a 5 star review). would be great to have a pack and play for parents w/ young ones. Also! Hooks IN the house for hanging ski jackets. There is a mud room with hooks, but leaving boots & jackets out there makes it VERY cold for the next ski day. This is on a dirt road; be ready for mud/slush in the winter. The appliances all work great! The washer and dryer was amazing. Great gas stove top and another electric oven under the island sink. There is no disposal so plan on throwing all leftovers in the trash. We had tons of bath towels! Three FULL bathrooms in the main house. So if you're in the loft, you don't have to come downstairs. Great cleaning supplies for the kitchen w/ dish soap, dishwasher soap & paper towels. (Bring Ziploc bags, Reynolds wrap, salt and pepper.) House comes w/ laundry soap and dryer sheets! Guest house works for a couple or family w/ small children w/ a crib. Has a kitchen. The Loft- this is designed for one family- It has a a bit of privacy b/c the closet is HUGE w/ drapes & of course the bathroom has a door . There is a 1/2 wall between the king bed & the rest of the space. Only 5 minutes from the grocery store for re-stocking and 24 minutes to Wolf Creek! Enjoy!

Great place, just a couple of small issues

Really comfortable and clean home. A few minor issues: there had been a lot of snow and the walk that was shoveled to the front door was extremely narrow and icy. The gate leading to the separate cabin was also very narrow (hard to get stuff through) and not shoveled. The other thing is that the dishwasher didn't work correctly because the soap dispenser door can't open. So dishes weren't particularly clean. Hopefully both those issues are easy to fix for the next guests. Directions to the home were clear. Future guests should be aware it's a longish dirt driveway that can get very muddy and slippery. We had no problem with 4WD.

Great Family Getaway

We had a great stay at this house. Family from around the country converged here to attend a wedding. It was perfect for us as we like to cook and eat breakfast at "home" and the kitchen is a good space that flows into the living area. The beds were comfortable, bathrooms were nice, and the house was even in a good location to go for a walk or run right from the front door.
