This home really felt like a getaway with amazing views. I loved the patios, great furnitue, and the bird feeders - very entertaining for my 11 year old. It as also still very convenient to Lyons - my teens walked there and back several times. It was hot while we were there, so we managed by leaving the fans on, leaving windwos open at night for lovely mountain, night breezes, and closed whindows when it started getting warm - and we stayed very comfortable. There is a swamp cooler, but we didin't need it. The kitchen was well stocked except for meauring cups and spoons which would have been nice. The instructions said they had some, but as happens in rentalss, they seem to have disappeared. There were also plenty of linens and bathroom amenities. My favorite part though was at night I could hear the St. Vrain River running under the window - very peaceful. Thank you for a great place to stay.
