Spacious home with beautiful views!!

We loved this house! It’s in a very convenient location to restaurants etc and the views are amazing from the patio. The downstairs Den area is a nice area to hang out. The beds are super comfy and everything was clean. The host was super responsive and helpful! We were a bit disappointed in only two things. One that the lake is just for the view, when we rented the house we assumed our 4 boys would be able to fish in the lake, but you are not allowed to use the lake at all. I would not have booked the house had I known that prior, but when we booked it was in the waiver after we were past our cancellation refund time. Only other complaint is that there is only one smart tv in the house, and it had very limited options. We actually bought a Roku stick to watch the game we wanted to see on new years and had to kind of battle our kids for the TV the entire week. Lol. If you don’t plan to watch tv then not an issue for you but we wanted some down time away and another smart tv in the other living at least would be a nice addition. Overall it was a great stay!

Best experience!

These pictures do no justice! From the moment we walked into this house from the moment we checked out we were just more then satisfied! It had everything we needed, and wanted! And it felt like our home away from home! Being that I have 4 children from small to big I wanted to make sure we found the perfect house that we were all comfortable in! This house was definitely it! This house is huge and the kitchen is perfect with that spectacular view! I looked forward to getting up early and seeing the deers in the back yard! And the drive to everywhere we went was perfect distance not too far or too close! Im very thankful that the owners attended to our needs and had very good communication with us at all time! We plan on visiting Colorado again soon and we will be staying here for sure again! Thank you Sherrie for renting us this beautiful home! And thank you for our welcome gift!

Great crafting retreat stay

This beautiful home was perfect for my group of friends and I to have a quilting/crafting retreat. There was a lot of room for us to spread out and work on our projects, and we loved sitting around the big dining room table every night for dinner and to play cards. My favorite part of the home was the kitchen. Great layout and plenty of room for several people to cook a meal together. Great place for a group! Sherrie was very responsive whenever I had questions.

Okay stay

We were unaware that there was no air conditioning and that all the windows needed to be opened for cool off the house. Also, it says there is a hot tub- there is no hot tub. There is a small bathroom jacuzzi for one or two small people to use. 3 bedrooms= 6 people. There is an inflatable mattress for a 7th person to sleep on. Outside landscaping needed maintenance. Private lake- only good to look at. No swimming or boating or fishing. All laundry had to be washed and dried before we left, which made for a very hectic morning. I have stayed have several VRBO's, and although the location was peaceful, the mountains are beautiful and the house was spacious and clean, this unfortunately was not one of my favorite VRBO experiences.

Lots of room for the Family

My family and I stayed 4 night at the beginning of June. The house has tons of space, a great view from the deck, nice and cool basement, quiet neighborhood, and has quick access to the highway in between Colorado Springs and Denver. The house has no AC if you plan to stay in the summer, but just opening the windows cools the house and makes it feel great. Overall my family had a great time staying there.

Great location and view

Great property with an amazing view! Everything you need for a Colorado trip is here -- location, plenty of room, great basement, wifi, kitchen supplies, spacious bathrooms and more. The house is a little outdated but who cares when you're on vacation. We didn't watch any TV, but if that's your thing there are no sports channels available. Sherrie was very responsive and the folder they put together on recommendations is a great touch! We'll be back...

Spacious home with a beautiful view!!

We had to travel to Colorado from Illinois for a funeral. This house was perfect for our family of 7. Even though we were there for unfortunate circumstances, this house was so beautiful & had such amazing views of the lake & mountains! It was very peaceful. Even though the home does not have AC, we didn't have any problems with the windows open. We also ended up needing to stay 1 more extra night, as we were too exhausted to make the long drive back home. Sherrie was so wonderful & accommodating!! I texted her & she got back to us right away. Thank you for sharing your home!!
