Cozy and comfortable!

We enjoyed staying at the Shady Grove for our spring break getaway! It was well stocked with everything that we needed and was so peaceful and quiet! We loved taking a dip in the hot tub after a day of snowboarding at WolfCreek. This is a great house and I would stay again if we headed back to South Fork!

Colorado vacation

We go to Colorado every year. Go to view the aspen and the wildlife. Hit the Aspen's at their peak and saw moose. This cabin was a wonderful base.

Great house but…

The house was wonderful and exactly what we needed…..location, space, hot tub were all great!The property management, Vacasa, was the opposite. I hope the owners find another option to manage their property.

Comfortable home in country setting!

For a family of 5 adults, we had plenty of room with a family room & a living room. The home does sit in a country setting about 16 miles from Delnorte & an easy drive. The fireplace was wonderfully warm; the TV had great stations; games & puzzles were a welcome addition. Oh and the hot tub was the best! There is ample room in this home and the kitchen is well stocked! The beds are comfortable and I would highly recommend this home!

Room to spread out and relax.

The beds were all comfortable. There was plenty of room for our group of six. The fenced yard was really a plus for our two dogs and the hot tub was a treat for us humans..The Shady Grove location was a great hub for day trips in all directions. This was our second straight stay here and would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Nice house with large yard!

Our family of 4 had a great stay at this property! We stayed for spring break to ski at Wolf Creek. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the hot tub after a day of skiing. There is a large backyard with a covered porch. I think it would be fun to come back in the summer and be able to enjoy more of the outdoor space.

A great gateway! Everything you need.

My family of four and our two dogs really enjoyed the property. Very relaxing. It has everything you could possibly need. We grilled our first night, enjoyed the neighborhood walks in the evening, and the hot tub. Enjoyed the Bluetooth speakers my family loves music, so big plus. The puzzles were also enjoyed by one of our daughters. My husband and I watched movies and the space was spacious for a nice work out. I think we took advantage of all the amenities! We would go back again.

Nice house

The house is the perfect size, however it was not very clean. The dishwasher had dirty dishes and it needed to be vacuumed. There was gravel from the driveway on the floors. Also, being from the south, there was no ac so it was kinda stuffy at night in the bedroom. Other than that, it needs some upkeep outside the yard was overgrown and cobwebs on the front and back porches that needed to be swept down. Good location just very far from anything. Overall okay place to stay.
