Great house in the mountains

The moment you walk in, the pictures don’t do it justice. A very pretty well furnished home. Brian was easy to get a hold of and answered question we had. We had to cut our stay short because of the MAJOR snow storm that was coming in Wednesday afternoon and Thursday all day. We would definitely stay there again.

Great stay for a ski trip with friends

We stayed at this property for 4 nights and the stay was really good. Owner was very responsive and it was very quiet neighborhood. One small problem was that the internet speed, it was pretty slow and owner also did not know what was going on. Apart from that everything else was really cool.

Great Place to Stay!

The house was just as advertised, it is spacious and in a quiet neighborhood in the mountains. The house has everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent and prompt when we needed something or had a question. Our family of 10 stayed for a week and really enjoyed our stay. It's close enough to Denver, yet far enough. The small ski resort up the road was nice too and there's a Safeway for groceries in Idaho Springs on the way up before getting to the house. The property is really nice and we enjoyed the hike in the area. There is no service once you get on the 103 though, but the WiFi at the house worked well. We are really glad we found this VRBO and would definitely recommend it to others and would stay again. -Amy
