This home was absolutely stunning. It was clean and there was plenty of space for my family of 6 to enjoy. The hosts were also quick to respond and made the check-in and check-out very easy. Can’t wait to come back again! Truly a gem.

Unexpected Issues
We had our kids and a couple of grandkids join us for the 4 th of July. The house was conveniently located and the property manager was prompt to address issues and unfortunately there were several issues. There was a leak in the wall so when we washed clothes water leaked out into the hallway. The lock on the door wasn’t functioning properly and we were locked out and unable to lock the door when we left. The PM insisted the lock was working properly but the lock said low battery. I came back to the house one day with groceries and there was a landscaper blowing cut grass off the roof and he blew it all over me and it went inside my bags. There was no notice anyone was coming and with lots of windowsWith no coverings was pretty startling for my daughter to be staring at a couple of guys from the kitchen windows. The last straw was when a group of 5 men showed up and started walking around the house with no notice again at 8:00 in the morning. This time they were there to install an irrigation system. I understand having to maintain a property but to have no notice was very inconsiderate. At least the landscaper was kind enough not to turn the water off until we checked out. The property is nice, the PM was nice but there were so many issues that I can’t say the stay was enjoyable. The property is new and has some kinks to workout. We also discovered that they have termites as my one hitched a ride in a suitcase back to Denver verified by an exterminator in CO.

Magical home
We rented this home while visiting family in the area. The house looks exactly as posted - such a unique space and beautiful on the inside. We didn't need the host while there but they remained in contact with us, checking in. Check out process was a breeze, would definitely stay here again.
