Amazing property!!
The house and view is amazing! The house was well furnished. We made two huge family meals and had everything we needed. The kids loved the rec room too. We did have a serious issue with a very unprofessional property manager Susan. That I reported separately.

Great house
Very nice home, had everything we needed & plenty of space. We loved playing in the creek & seeing all the deer as we drove through Powderhorn mountain on our way to different areas. The house did not have a Mountain View which my husband really wanted (it didn’t bother me so much).
