This is a really outstanding property. The views are indeed gorgeous. There is a lot of lovely deck space and an inside conversation area so folks can be together, but there is lots of privacy so folks who need some alone time can get it. The kitchen is first-rate and it provides a lot of the things that there often isn't enough of (water glasses, coffee mugs) — we felt like it was just very well-equipped.There is no large table to sit down for dinner, so that if that is something you need for your gathering, this place doesn't have it. We were mostly casual for breakfast and lunches and had dinner out so it made no difference to us.In 15 minutes or so, you are in the park; you can be at Bear Lake in about 35 minutes. It is also a very quiet place, which we really appreciated.
