Great weekend getaway with friends

This was a great place for our friend group, with plenty of room for 16 adults. You are in the mountains, but it is just a short drive from Boulder. The views from the property are awesome. Beds were comfortable. Communication with the hosts was easy. One of my favorite moments of the weekend was walking down to the ponds and doing a walk around the property. There is a short, but fun trail that makes you feel in nature without leaving the property.

We had a large group of extended family which included 10 kids under the age of 8. There was a lot to keep them busy inside and outside. We utilized the bunk room which is a must if you have that many kids and 12 adults. We saw moose several times at the pond during our stay which was exciting.

Perfect location and the views are beautiful! Plenty of space inside and plenty of bathrooms. It worked out great for our family of 12. We didn’t know there was no central air, so we had to purchase three additional fans. We very disappointed with the cleanliness — bugs in drawers/ on walls, toilets not cleaned, and grime and dust on lots of surfaces. We could have used more toilet paper/paper towels too and had to purchase extra.Overall it was still a beautiful home in the mountains, and we had a great stay!

Fantastic location and overall very nice home. Lovely outdoor space with beautiful views! Loved exploring the property. Lots of square footage made it nice for my family get together. Massivr kitchen area was very nice for our big dinner Communication with property manager was fantastic, very fast responses and helpful information.Reason for 4 stars were the many quirks, such as strange appliances they were confusing to use (oven, microwave), the home was not very accessible for my elderly family, septic smell in the front of the house, and several random things such as blinds and towel racks falling down.Overall wonderful experience, would highly recommend small events here.

Wonderfully large space to host my group with beautiful outdoors. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of seating. Only complaints was that we couldn’t find a can opener and that the upstairs queen bedrooms fan remote was missing so we were unable to run the fan. Easy check in experience, just make sure you have the check in instructions saved before going up as my phone had no service up there and we had to drive back down to Nederland to access service to see the instructions.
