The cabin itself was not bad. Communicating with the property management wasn’t that great. We had an issue with our dates and needed to change them and they were not quick to respond. However, after days of trying, we were able to adjust the dates. For the price, the cabin was great. It had all the necessary kitchen, bed and bath items. The neighborhood was quiet. The location was good. Checkin and out was smooth and easy.

Clean and comfortable
The cabin was very clean. We could have used a few more fans. It was very hot when we were there and each bedroom just had a small fan. The front living room had a large fan which was good because you couldn’t open those windows.
We had a wonderful time. However, When we tried to check in the code did not work to open the door. I was on hold with VASCA for about 20 minutes before we were able to get into the house. They should have given us the code to the key box in the check in email as well as the door code. The cabin was great. I am not impressed with VASCA!

Thank you for your review, Patti. We're sorry for the unexpected delay in getting you checked in and for the miscommunication. We hope that after the proper code had been issued that the remainder of your trip unfolded with ease. We hope for the opportunity to host you again in the future.
This place is cozy and it has great views of the mountains and meadows and lots of deer live around there and were fun to watch. It is also close to town yet just far enough off the main roads to be super quiet. It is less than 30 minutes to Wolf Creek Ski Resort and that is one of the main reasons why we chose it.
Convenient location with beautiful Autumn Colors.
The house rental had older furnitures than depicted in your VRBO.
But everything was still operational. And clean.
The two beds were good but the daybed mattress was saggy and un comfortable.

David, thank you for your review. We make every effort to be transparent with our listings, including the photos provided, and sincerely apologize if we missed the mark. We are so sorry for any discomfort you experienced from the mattress. While it is in good working order, each guest has their own unique preferences. We appreciate your feedback as a means to improve and hope to host you again soon.
Very nice and quiet neighborhood. The house is dated, but super clean and super comfortable. Could kick back and relax, the house gave you a cozy feeling. Good location in South Fork, just minutes from everything. The only down side to the entire place was the sleeper couch could use a new mattress. Lol Otherwise this place is great, would definitely stay here again.

Great Location
Though the house and decor are dated, it was absolutely spotless. The living areas are very large and comfortable. The bed in the main bedroom is not comfortable and was not great to sleep on for almost a week. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Although the house address was hard to find and the heat was on 50 to save energy, the place warmed us up inside and out once inside!
Nice cabin with great access to the South Fork area. Our only wish is that it was a bit more secluded and had more equipment in the kitchen. Everything else was great!
Nice, comfortable and clean home. We look forward to another stay in the future.
Easy, clear and concise terms. Got our deposit back quickly.

We loved our stay here!
The pictures of the house don’t die it justice. It’s way bigger then what’s picture. We were pleasantly surprised how big it was. They had a bunch of kitchen supplies. It was great! The house was very clean and nice. Definitely recommend staying here!
