This was probably the best rental we have ever stayed in and we have stayed in many across the US, Canada, Mexico and a few in Europe. We wished we could've taken it with us on our week-long trip around Colorado. It is very nicely decorated, exceptionally clean and the attention to detail and thoughtfulness is amazing. There were so many nice touches that we couldn't even take advantage of them all. The movie projector was really next level. The bedding was incredible and cozy, kitchen had higher end items, and the outdoor space and surrounding views were relaxing and beautiful. Maria was exceptionally easy to communicate with and a great host. We wish we could've stayed much longer.
