Gorgeous views and quaint little town. This house had everything we needed to feel at home. Super comfy couch and hammock chairs. The hot tub was our saving grace after hikes!

A beautiful location and charming little house! It's clean, well-appointed, comfy, cozy, and just delightful. The hot tub is hot. The wood-burning stove burns wood. The setting is unmatched.

Beautiful place to stay in a cute little Colorado town with amazing views! The hot tub was perfect to watch the stars on a chilly night in April. Can't say enough kind things about the host of this property, very kind and accommodating.

Loved this house! Best stocked and equipped we have ever stayed. Deserves much higher than highest allowed rating. Anything I thought at first was missing - I was wrong - I just needed to open my eyes and there it was. All the small details to make a stay more comfortable that are normally not found were in this house. And the hot tub set up is wonderful! Great Wifi also. The only thing to be aware of if you come from an area known for super-sized AC, there is no AC here so be aware of that for summer stays. There are fans and we were here when it was mostly cooler so wasn't bad and we knew from the listing description about no AC, so also brought some little fans. And in the morning and evening the breeze blowing thru just a couple open windows is wonderful ! Would love to come back here!

The mountain view from the living room is amazing! We woke up every morning to a beautiful sunset. The house is so cozy, and we took full advantage of using the wood burning fireplace. The extra little ambiance!!!The location was a perfect distance to snow skiing at Loveland Ski Resort. It only took 20 minutes. And, Denver was less than an hour away.

Cozy place, gorgeous view!

Came from Michigan for a Red Rocks concert and this cabin was the perfect cozy and comfortable stay with beautiful mountains in view. We saw a group of big horn sheep a half mile from the cabin!

Ski touring Jones Pass

Property was wonderful. Great space and the fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs. The fire pit, outside game space and hot tub were also great for apres ski. Big living room for relaxing. The house is tight for 5 or 6 adults with only one bath. Perfect for four adults or a family of 5 or 6.

Sublime and cozy

They thought of everything, but you still feel like you are at the "cabin". Private, views for days. Casino denver and a basin all within 30 minutes. Sweet hosts, insanely responsive. Hot tub at 104 and clean. Dont stay here ;)

Views for Miles

This was one of the best VRBO's I've stayed at. Super clean, nicely decorated and complete with all the amenities you could need. The owner's have thought of everything. Super fast internet, comfortable bed and a really good hot tub. The neighborhood was very quiet (which to me was a good thing). Sitting on the deck enjoying the views and listening to the wildlife was just what this city slicker needed. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property!

Snowboard Trip

Had a great stay overall. The place is beautiful has great amenities. My only complaint is the level of cleaning required for checkout when I’m already paying for a cleaning fee. Doing dishes by hand, emptying the ashes in the fireplace, treating the hottub with chemicals after use. I just feel like if I’m paying all this money for a cleaning fee that stuff should not be my job. That being said the place was beautiful and very nice. The owners provided a lot of extras as well.

Amazing home!

We just spent the weekend at this mountain house and it was amazing! We live in the foothills of Colorado but love to take a weekend getaway each winter to ski at Loveland with our teenage children. This was by far the best home we have found. We will be hoping to stay here every year from now on! It is so clean, so beautiful, so accommodating and a perfect location, beautiful views, the bedding was so comfortable. Really about everything was perfect. We didn't leave the house, only to ski and come back to cook dinner and play games. We had the best time! My husband loved the wood burning stove and hot tub, our kids loved the Keurig to make their own hot chocolate, I loved the kitchen and the ease of getting dinner ready and the rock garden in the back yard. So cool! We left there wishing we were the owners! The living space was so cozy, we stayed there all night without any desire to be anywhere else. It really was so great! We highly suggest staying here!
