Mixed Review. The room listing down not match what is on property, there are no rooms with a queen bed and a twin. (Listing says there are 2) While we were there it was a struggle to have any hot water, we called the host and they said the breaker to the tank my be turned off(it was), that was found on day 1, even on day 3 we would have almost no hot water. Not even enough to fill up a tub to bath a 1 year old.Hot tub no matter how many times we tried throughout our stay we could not get it to heat.The property is pet friendly with no where to walk an animal that doesn’t require walking down an extremely steep hill.View of the lake from the house is magnificent, area is beautiful. House was clean and the rooms are very open and not cramped. I will be coming back, but will be staying somewhere else.

Huge home with a great view

Overall, we enjoyed this home. The best part is that each room has a large bed, no bunk beds for adults!! The view was amazing. We were able to utilize the fireplace for the last time of the season. It did leak once we were done using it though. The driveway is very very steep. While we enjoyed it in our Bronco, it was harder for some drivers in sedans. If you’re traveling in the winter with a sedan, you won’t make it up. The home could have used a little more cleaning. The oven was so dirty the home filled with smoke any time we used it. There is also almost no hot water. Even spacing showers out to one 5 minute shower every hour, there wasn’t enough for our group. Dishes had to be washed in luke warm/cold water.

Beautiful view and spacious home

The house was very spacious and accommodated our family well. Each bedroom had a bathroom which was great. The views were great and the house was beautiful. The driveway was very steep but fortunately we did not have any ice or snow. It was only 5 minutes to Wisp which was great. Overall we had an awesome trip and would come back.

Big and Beautiful Home!

What I appreciated the most about Rocky Mountain Lodge is how clean the home was. The space was big and nicely furnished and decorated. We really liked the big table and chairs on the deck. The beds were comfortable! Checking in was easy with the code! We arrived about 15 minutes early and people should know that check in is at 4:00 and not one minute before! Everything we used worked. We didn't use the washer and dryer as we were there only for a long weekend. As per other comments, the driveway is steep and it's a hairpin turn from the road, but we managed fine. I appreciated the Welcome Bag from Railey Vacations with the starter supplies and amenities. One little frustration was when our second and final payment for the rental was due. Since I booked and paid the first payment on VRBO, I assumed I would pay the balance there. I had to email, call and search around to figure out that I had to call Railey Vacations directly to pay the balance. If I had the occasion to ... I would rent this home again.

Beautiful home with great views, driveway is steep make sure you have 4 wheel drive, hot tub wasn’t working first night, tech came to fix it and said it would take 6 hours to warm up and next day it was still cold, did fix it the next day but that was unfortunate. Everything else worked fine. Not much dish soap or dishwasher detergent provided so bring your own. Overall great house and locations

Lovely home

Construction happening next door made it so road was blocked off when we arrived and staff we called had no knowledge of that fact and thus could not help us figure out how to find the house. Luckily my husband figured out the road loops and we were able to enter from the other direction. House comes with the very bare minimum in terms of things like paper products (TP, paper towel) soap etc. No salt and pepper, olive oil etc. But the house it beautiful and clean. It was in a great location as well. Overall it was a great house and experience!

lovely dog friendly scenic home

enjoyed the home - great having two ovens for a large group. Nice dog friendly home. View is amazing and decks are perfect, especially for the pooch to enjoy the outdoors. those cots are not really acceptable, though. it was a short stay, two of the younger set slept on couches, so i wasnt a big deal.

The property was amazing!

My friends and I stayed at the property for a couples retreat. The house was amazing and comfortably accommodated 10 couples. Each bedroom was very comfortable. The house was very clean. The hot tub was amazing. The only issue we had during our stay was having hot water during shower and bath times.
