Delightful Stay

We chose to stay here instead of getting a hotel while visiting our daughter in Longmont. So glad we did! The dwellings were clean and well appointed. The host thought of all needs and the upstairs rooms and decor were very welcoming and well equipped. We didn’t want for anything. Plenty of space to hangout and enjoy time together. Will definitely stay here again on our next visit.

Wedding in Berthoud

We had a wedding to attend in Berthoud, CO. This was the perfect place to stay. The location - it's really close to everything - Johnstown, Berthoud, Loveland, Greeley, Estes Park - we were close to quite a bit. The property is beautiful, the place is clean and the hosts (present & past) were awesome! We will definitely be back. I highly recommend this place!

Peaceful, beautiful, restful stay

I took my almost 10 year old daughter on a special mother-daughter getaway for her upcoming birthday and Margaret and Ron's incredible home was the perfect spot! It was a treat for both my daughter and myself - the backdrop for good food, good conversation, time in nature and feeling like we were far away from home on a special vacation instead of 20 minutes from home! The apartment is so lovely, bright and spacious with everything you need. We loved kayaking on the lake and sitting on the balcony. Would definitely return here!!

Perfect for Our Purpose

This location was perfect for us. Near our son’s home outside Longmont. The setting was wonderful quiet and beautiful. The hosts respected our privacy but were there when we had questions. The unit itself was great. Very comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen is small but we managed to cook three dinners and holiday cookies there. We’d stay again while visiting with our son.

Home Away From Home

This truly is a GEM! We stayed here in between moving into our new home, and it truly was a home away from home. Everything was thought of; we were able to both work fully from home, and were comfortable the entire stay. Every day, I enjoyed a walk around the dirt roads here and saw many bald eagles and flocks of geese landing on the lake! It was paradise. Margaret and Ron left us feeling like we were family as well. We will definitely keep them in mind for family coming into town, and know that we have made fast friends here in Colorado. I 10000% recommend this VRBO as a place to stay while visiting! It's also centralized to so much, with an hour drive to the airport, and hour drive to RMNP, and so many hiking paths and good food to eat. If you need a place to stay during your stay near Boulder/Longmont, this is the best choice!

Peaceful and comfortable

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Margaret and Ron's place. The guest apartment is spacious, bright, and thoughtfully furnished. The king bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. (Can't comment on the queen bed, but I imagine it's good too.) The kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare simple meals. Ron and Margaret are warm and generous hosts, while still allowing their guests plenty of privacy. We enjoyed walking around the property, taking in Ron's sculpture, and kayaking on the lake. We were both working some of the time, so we appreciated that each bedroom had a functional desk and the wifi was good. The balcony is the perfect spot for morning coffee with a view of the trees (plus birds). All in all, a wonderful spot, and we look forward to coming back!

A Little Piece of Heaven in Colorado

These amazing, kind and caring humans allowed us to experience a part of their every day and it was beautiful. Margaret and Ron were so accommodating to our changing family party and we are so thankful. Never once did we have to worry about anything. We spent our time enjoying our first grandchild’s wedding. Thank you both for everything. We are already talking about our return trip to just do nothing but take it all in.

DO NOT miss staying at this property !!! Margaret and Ron are wonderful, better than family. We were in Colorado for our 35 wedding anniversary and to visit family in the area. Oh and of course do lots of hiking in the mountains. The unit they provided was above and beyond our expectations ! I don't write reviews but I can't say enough about how nice our hosts were as well as the amazing comfort they provided us.

Perfection

We couldn't have asked for a more comfortable, welcoming destination for our trip. The accommodations were outstanding. The home and surrounding landscaping are just beautiful. Best of all, was the warmth and hospitality extended to us by Margaret and Ron. We eagerly look forward to returning and the opportunity to see Margaret and Ron again.

I loved it and the hosts were great and accommodating. The only issue, if it could be considered an issue, is that is so far from everything. That actually makes it a great vacation location. I would recommend this location to anybody and everybody. There is more than advertised.
