If I could only use 1 word to some this property up, it would be perfect!! This place was incredible and we can not say enough about the great time we had staying here with family and having my daughter’s wedding reception in the barn. It was absolutely amazing! I enjoyed morning coffee watching the sunrise and at night the property lights up and becomes even more beautiful! The property has absolutely everything and the barn is wonderful for an event, plenty of parking, spacious and gorgeous! We are already planning a trip back. I HIGHLY recommend!!

Comfortable and beautiful
Darcy was very responsive and helpful in showing us her home and explaining the “how to’s)There was plenty of room for our family to enjoy and allowing some quiet time when it was needed. The property has disc golf which was enjoyed by kids and adults alike and a bonus was visiting with the neighbor’s horses and being visited by elk several times.The home is beautiful with the western decor and the master was spacious. Plenty of beds to sleep our entire crew without needing the pullouts.

Positives:
The house is beautiful and the grounds are beautiful. It’s lovely to sit on the porch in the morning and have coffee. It’s an old house that’s been upgraded but still maintains it’s rustic feel. Lots of neat historical relics. Lots of portable AC units everywhere make up for not being able to open windows. Bathrooms, kitchen, floors, furniture is all very clean.
Neutral:
No ventilation coupled with not being able to open windows in the bathrooms is not great when you have a full house. The water can get REALLY HOT really fast, “burn you” hot. It’s great to not run out of hot water with a full house getting ready for a wedding, but mind young kids.
Negatives:
With an old house that is modernized, it’s very reasonable to have flaws that add to the charm. But a couple things were frustrating or dangerous. Cookware and appliance maintenance - having to tighten handles and legs. Steam irons that shoot rust at your clothes and showerheads that don’t get descaled. The front panel of the oven was so loose, it came off and hit one of our party while cooking. We had to hold it in place until everything was cool enough to get some tools and fix it.
The biggest negative, however, was that if people other than the folks sleeping at the house come over, it is considered and event. We cooked breakfast for friends and family who also flew in for a wedding. We did not think that was an event - not setting out tents or tables or bringing catering, etc. But since the folks coming

Red Rocks 10 Ladies
We were a group of 10 girlfriends who stayed in this wonderful log home. It was chosen because of it's proximity to Red Rocks as we went to a concert. Also, it was like being in the middle of the mountains. Lots of scenery, deer, elk and even buffalo. The home had so many amenities that made for a great stay. Darcy was a very responsive and helpful host. We didn't arrive until late evening and she offered to be available to accept a grocery order and even put them all away. Overall it was a beautiful home/location/setting. We all agreed would stay there again.

Great stay & great place for our small wedding!
We had a small wedding of about 50 people at this VRBO, and it was great! We also rented out the small church across the street for our ceremony, which worked out perfectly. At the house, they recently upgraded the porta-potty bathrooms, which was great! The house is beautiful, and all of the rooms feel secluded, which made it extra cozy for everyone who stayed here! We rented a tent for our reception, which worked out great on the property and the gas heater & fire pits provided a good amount of heat on the porch! We also had a food truck (High Society Pizza) which was the perfect solution for this type of backyard wedding. There's plenty of parking as well. Overall, we had a super special wedding weekend with our family and friends, and would totally recommend this property to others!

Christmas Stay
This house was decorated beautifully for Christmas, tree included! The ambience gave us all such a cozy and magical experience. There was plenty to do at the house to keep us entertained on the more snowy days. The windy road down to the house should be used with caution during the snowy/icey months, as not all parts of it has guard rails/barriers.

We rented this place for our October wedding and it was beautiful! Darcy was a wonderful host and even went beyond to help our vendors set up when we had a scheduling issue.
