Fantastic location and overall very nice home. Lovely outdoor space with beautiful views! Loved exploring the property. Lots of square footage made it nice for my family get together. Massivr kitchen area was very nice for our big dinner Communication with property manager was fantastic, very fast responses and helpful information.Reason for 4 stars were the many quirks, such as strange appliances they were confusing to use (oven, microwave), the home was not very accessible for my elderly family, septic smell in the front of the house, and several random things such as blinds and towel racks falling down.Overall wonderful experience, would highly recommend small events here.

Great weekend getaway with friends
This was a great place for our friend group, with plenty of room for 16 adults. You are in the mountains, but it is just a short drive from Boulder. The views from the property are awesome. Beds were comfortable. Communication with the hosts was easy. One of my favorite moments of the weekend was walking down to the ponds and doing a walk around the property. There is a short, but fun trail that makes you feel in nature without leaving the property.
