A bit disappointing

The house itself was great, the neighborhood was sketchy, but the disappointing part was cleanliness. I pulled a knife from the stand that looked as if someone used it and put it back without washing and the tub upstairs had dirt and hairs standing on the edge and interior. Hire a better cleaner and you'd be doing yourself a favor.

Best home for our vacation

We absolutely loved this house. It was old, the stairs creaked, the beds were comfy, host was prompt in replying. This home was perfect for our first Colorado vacation. Already looking to book again for our return trip!

Wonderful place to stay! Will book again.

The home was immaculately clean, and had a ton of room for our large family. Our children loved the outdoor space in the garden. The sunroom in the front was perfect for morning coffee. We will definitely book again for our next Colorado vacation.

Perfect for our family get together

Loved this house! It was perfect for our family to relax and enjoy the area. It’s close to stores, restaurants and parks! The backyard was beautiful and relaxing. Loved that it was all fenced in for our dogs so they could play. The updated kitchen was great. What I really loved was that you could feel the history of the house. I adored the hard wood floors and the vaulted ceilings upstairs. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Blue Bird Cottage

Clean, Charming and Cosy. Very pleased with this rental. We had lots of room to spread out. The teenagers liked the front and back porches. The kitchen was well furnished and big. Beds were great. King bed very comfy. Nice sheets too. Great location for us. We were in Colorado for a sports tournament so after spending all day outdoors it was nice to handout at the cool cottage. Thanks we will be back.

Beautiful home, convenient to everything

Our group of four friends gathered to celebrate a bachelorette weekend in this beautiful home. The owner was so kind and thoughtful. She stocked the home with coffee and everything one would need in the kitchen. There were plenty of towels and a washer and dryer. The beds were super comfy and the backyard was lovely. We will definitely stay here again.
