This home was absolutely perfect for our family trip of 9 plus our furry friend. The owners were beyond communicative which made for a very easy check in process and I knew they were just one message away if we needed anything. You can tell they take pride in their home down from the beautiful decor to the immaculate condition of the home, indoor and out! The house has a true mountain feel while still being close to Denver. We say some young bucks grazing in grass in our yard and is a short mile walk to the trailhead of St Mary’s glacier. Would totally stay here again!

Perfect, relaxing get away
This a such a great place to stay. Perfect location and everything was so comfortable. We stay in a lot of short term rentals and really notice all the little things that make a stay easy and comfortable. The furniture was nice and there were plenty of places to sit around and visit which is sometimes hard to do in vacation rentals if the furniture isnt kept up(it can look nice in pics but horrible to actually sit on). The beds and linens where fresh and clean. It was nicely laid out so everyone had their own space and enjoyed our stay. The host was very easy to communicate with and gave plenty of info and things were nicely labeled. We also appreciate that we didn't have a huge list of chores before we left... just tidey up and leave it nice and the cleaning folks will do the rest which seems reasonable when there is a cleaning fee:) loved our stay and we will definitely go back in the future.
