An incredible destination!
My friends and I recently did a weekend getaway here, and we are already talking about when we will visit again because our stay was FANTASTIC. If you are looking for a place to unplug, relax, and/or have fun, look no further. The location: The location of this place has the best of both worlds: remote, yet convenient. While the super market and some restaurants are less than 10 minutes away, the location feels rural. The quietness, fresh air, and routine breezes make the environment very refreshing. A huge bonus for my group was the proximity of Fox Run Regional Park - a number of us got our early morning hikes/walks/runs here.The home: First, there was plenty of parking (great for larger groups). Second, the kitchen was top notch: well stocked, enormous (great for cooking large meals for a large group), and high quality appliances. Third, the rooms were well furnished (nice furniture, good curtains, very comfortable linens). Additionally, there was no shortage of activities in the home such as a billiards table, ping pong, fire pits, outdoor heaters on EVERY patio, a hot tub and much more. On that note, the views are gorgeous as well. Lastly, the property itself is gorgeous. There is lots of space to play outdoor games and get comfortable. You are not nestled between other properties and you feel like you have your own space.The host: 10/10 experience - expedient responses and very helpful with requests. In summary, this place is the complete package!!!

USAFA Graduation Stay
Overall, our stay was awesome! The location of the home is one of the best features for getting to graduation events without traffic. The home nicely accommodates large families. The beds were comfortable. Although the types of beds didn’t match our adult children, there was plenty of space in the bedrooms to put air mattresses that we purchased. We appreciated the number of towels, extra pillows, and blankets for this reason. The large gathering areas were perfect for relaxing as a family. There is plenty of seating for meals and in the family rooms. The outdoor furniture was comfortable. We had many evenings around the gas fire on the back patio. We were able to grill and cook in a few days and found everything we needed. If you have young children, there is plenty of fun things to keep them busy: swings, rope swing, jungle gym, toys, and games. We enjoyed playing corn hole. There is a fire pit with wood provided if the weather conditions allow. David and Margo were easy to communicate with when we needed questions answered. I would highly recommend this home to create those special family memories.
