You and your guests will live like country royalty in this 4BR/5BA (plus spacious loft) retreat. Airy sunlit rooms afford relaxation, privacy, and majestic views. Outside, the sprawling property features private access to both banks of the Elk River. A fly fishing paradise.

Get away without being too far from civilization. Wander the grounds, dip your toes in the river, and gather for conversation and smores around the fire pit. Steamboat Springs is within a half-hour drive—there youll find restaurants, bars, and Steamboat Ski Resort.

ABOUT THE HOUSE

From the expansive great room to the wraparound deck, you and your guests have plenty of room to gather together or find a quiet haven for solo time.

A river rock wood-burning fireplace, wrought iron chandelier, cozy couch, and several armchairs make the living room the perfect space for pre-dinner hors doeuvres or curling up with a good book. Vaulted ceilings soar, and large windows bring in natural light and frame mountain views. A screened porch serves as a breezy second living room.

Cook in the classic kitchen, detailed with hardwood floors, a double sink, and a spacious breakfast bar with six stools. Special meals deserve the window-lined dining room, where a table seats 14 beneath a rustic chandelier. A wet bar off the kitchen will inspire your best cocktails and fresh lemonade. The bathroom on this floor has a shower/tub combination and a spacious mirrored vanity.

Peaceful, ultra-cozy bedrooms feature lots of pillows and crisp linens. On the main floor, the master bedroom features a king bed and en-suite bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The second bedroom has a king bed on an ornate metal frame, exposed beams, access to the back deck, and a 50” TV.

Upstairs, the third bedroom has a king bed, seating nook, and a 40” TV, while the fourth room is furnished with a queen bed plus a log-frame twin-over-twin bunk bed. The bathroom on this floor boasts a double vanity and a shower.

The loft has four queen beds and two additional twin trundles. This spectacular space has vaulted ceilings, a central seating area ideal for an evening card game, and a 50” flat-screen TV. Feel the breeze and see the sights on your private balcony; enjoy the comfort of an en-suite bath with a stone-floor rain shower.

Explore the meadows, on-site pond, or relax by the river. Serve lunch on the huge wraparound deck, where theres a dining table, additional seating, and unforgettable Colorado vistas. The fire pit beckons you to gather around for campfire songs and starlit conversation.

This is our second year staying at the Enclave and with Turnkey. We had a great experience with both the property and the local management. Very prompt with snow removal and any questions we had while on our stay. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time and the house was as expected based on the provided information and reviews. Nice bathrooms, beds were comfortable and house was clean and had everything we needed. Kitchen was well stocked for preparing meals, which was a must since local restaurants were closed during our stay. Fire pit had plenty of wood. There were a few minor problems. Dumpster was full when we arrived and had to wait 4 days before it was empty. The amenities listed satellite TV, but was not available. All TVs are smart TVs, but unless you have some type of streaming service you are limited to what you can watch. Our stay was over Thanksgiving, so we had to purchase a streaming service to watch college and pro football, which is a must at Thanksgiving. Connecting through the internet to a cable provider did not seem to work very well. WIFI is okay, but not great. Overall we had a great stay and would stay here again and recommend to others.
