We stayed a week at this lovely home and had a great time. It was so clean, and all the furniture and beds were very comfortable. The area is filled with fun things to do. Plenty of nature hikes at Ferne Clyffe State park, and the Garden of the Gods is worth the short drive. The lake was calm and we enjoyed several kayak trips. We look forward to coming back! Thanks Allison and Ryan for all your quick responses to our questions:)

Perfect spot on the lake!

This property is breathtaking! The house is well stocked and kept. There is plenty of space where we didn't feel on top of each other. The dock made it easy to rent a boat for our stay. We had one hiccup that the management company and owner quickly remedied. Our only concern is that this property will be so popular that it will be hard for us to obtain in the future. We can't wait to go back and enjoy this space again!

Gorgeous cabin on the lake

This was a perfect location for our family to meet with friends from out of town. The house has a luxurious cabin feel, and there are plenty of spaces for people to spread out and play games or talk. The kitchen is incredibly well stocked, which made it easy for us to cook up some favorite meals. The property manager was friendly and responsive to questions we had. The floors could have been cleaner when we arrived, and I'm sure they would have taken care of that if we'd contacted them about it, but we decided to deal with it ourselves. We would definitely stay here again!
