Pictures do not do it justice!!! We had a group of 20 ranging from 8 weeks old to 68 yrs old.
THE PROPERTY/LOCATION: It is picturesque and secluded in the best way. I worried with such a large group with some highly active little kiddos we might disturb others but that wasn't an issue here. So much to do just at the house alone. We hiked around the property, had fires in the firepit, used the hot tub, had ping pong tournaments, cooked family dinners, even saw cattle around the hosue. I just can't say enough about it!
When you want to get out you are only 10 minutes away from some really cool spots. We went to The Royal Gorge and you could see our house from there! The views really are spectacular! If you want to go skiing it is just a little over an hour to Monarch Mountain. There are 2 convenient grocery stores to choose from as well as plenty of activities for kids and adults, restaurants and breweries.
THE HOUSE: Amazing space and plenty of room to be together or spread out for privacy or relaxation. From private balconies to a giant one where we could all gather. Rooms have plenty of space and the sound didn't travel all over the house. The bottom floor has a small bar with sink and refrigerator. *** Disclaimer Ahead***
SLEEPER SOFAS: While the bedrooms were great, our only complaint is the pull out sofas. They were absolutely not fit for anyone to sleep on, not even my 35 lb niece. There are 4 pull out beds, 3 that we couldn't use. Upstairs the mattresses were basically springs with fabric over them and if sat on it they would fall thru the spaces. The only way were were able to utilize 1 pull out on the bottom floor was to take one of the pads and stack it on top of another. If you are going with the mindset that you need those sleepers...BRING AIR MATTRESSES instead. Regardless of this, I would still go back to this house!
THE KITCHEN: is stocked very well. We weren't sure so we brought a bunch of unnecessary stuff. It really had everything we needed outside of a crockpot. Plenty of dishes and utensils. It has a ton of storage and the appliances are top notch. There is an extra refrigerator in the garage as well.
There is a no shoe policy that made things kind of a pain to deal with especially during cold winter months. Bring house shoes!
Management was an absolute dream as well...very easy to correspond with! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PROPERTY!!
10/9.9!
