Great getaway
Great stay in the mountains, not too far from a grocery store to get food for the home. Was a little tough to see the driveway from the road, we all drove past it the first time.

Spacious
Love the fact that there were 2 master suites each having a whirlpool tub. The hot tub was easy access from the deck. Beautiful Aspen forest in the back. It is a quiet area but the one neighbor with his fenced-in area with no trespassing signs posted ,,,we did see him and his dog walking his fence line with a rifle when we first drove to the house but that was the only time.

Great stay
The house has everything one needs for a great vacation. Only small issue was the grass around hot tub needed to be mowed to cut down on mosquitos. Otherwise a fantastic stay and we will certainly recommend to friends.

Wonderful Experience!
We had a wonderful experience staying on this property. The house was cute, clean and just as they described! There was plenty of space for the 5 adults to stay! We loved the privacy of this house, as it was nestled behind trees and not visible from the road. I loved the fenced back yard for my dogs— a very pet friendly house for sure! The communication from the property manager was great! From the initial booking, to the questions I had prior to arriving, to the information at checkout, they made it all easy! We will definitely be staying here again!

From the moment we checked in to the unfortunate check out everything was wonderful! Couldn’t have had a better place for my boyfriend and I to connect on a deeper level! Just enough seclusion yet close to all amenities! Will absolutely be back!

We stayed here while hunting elk in the area.
It was a lovely place to stay. Close to where we needed to be, the hot tub helped soothe us each night, and the mud room was awesome!

Mice infested and a crazy neighbor
As two young families, we choose this property based on location. The location was ideal for our needs. No major roads to worry about the kids, wide open outdoors. HOWEVER, upon our arrival, we were greeted by the neighbors fence line where there were signs threatening lethal force and beware of dog, tents set up, surveillance warnings, and skeletons hanging in the trees. Each morning before 7:30, the neighbor would walk the fence line with his rifle and unleashed German shepherd. After his walk, he began trimming trees with his chainsaw. This would go on for most of the morning without pause.
Additionally, the home is infested with mice. Our counteracts had fresh droppings each morning and many of our groceries were ruined by mice.
This was less than the serene mountain vacation we were looking for. The price was appealing, the pictures sold it, the actual stay still gives me nightmares.

We loved our stay in this secluded home! We are from Missouri where it is hot and humid….once we realized there was no A/C, we were able to leave a couple windows open to keep the house cool. We were 30-45 mins away from Breck, Buena Vista…and really any activity we wanted to do. The house has a mice issue, but we know that can happen. The communication was responsive and quick. Overall we thought the house was very nice.

Beautifully Selucted w/ short distance to town
Spacious well appointed home. Beds were comfortable and linens were superb! Linens were so fresh and smelled wonderful. The bath sheets, wash clothes, and hand towels were top notch! So much so I'm placing an order for my home. Living room furniture was very nice. Plenty of room to sprawl out and relax. The two whirlpool tubs were dreamy. The grill and hot tub got a work out multiple times a day. We loved having a gas cook top when we weren't grilling. Games provided for both kids and adults. The aspen Grove was just beautiful. The only thing that was missing in the kitchen was a pizza cutter but we made due with a knife. Overall wonderful relaxing play to relax and play.
