In a region where true log homes are rare treasures—fewer than a handful offer this scale and seclusion—Topaz Estate stands alone, surrounded by pristine open space, aspen groves, willow fields, and unobstructed 360-degree panoramic views of Buffalo Mountain and the majestic Rockies. Perched high for unmatched seclusion, floor-to-ceiling windows frame those jaw-dropping vistas of snow-capped peaks, rolling meadows, and golden aspens—waking up to a 270-degree panorama from the master suite feels like owning the Rockies.

It is also wonderful to know you enjoyed our curated amenities and that our team was able to provide prompt assistance when you reached out.
We would love to host your family again for another memorable stay!
We rented this house back in 2021for our Christmas vacation and had to come back this past Christmas. Such a nice and spacious place. The whole family was very comfortable. About 20 minutes from Keystone and Breckenridge. The views are amazing. Highly recommend this House if you have a big family or family & Friends . We will be back again
This property was absolutely perfect for my sister’s bachelorette celebration! It was incredibly spacious, with plenty of rooms and beds to comfortably accommodate all of our guests. While we couldn't figure out how to turn on the pool’s rain shower and the water was a bit chilly, everything else exceeded our expectations. We had an amazing time and would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at this home over Thanksgiving with four families. On paper, the house is impressive: very large, located in a great area and offers appealing amenities such as indoor pool, hot tubs, and sauna. The size allowed our group to stay together, which was the primary reason we booked. The management company also deserves credit—they were responsive, apologetic, and made genuine efforts to help, including coordinating with local pest control.Unfortunately, that’s where the positives end. For the premium nightly price, the number and severity of issues were disappointing.The most serious problem was a raccoon infestation. Raccoons living in the walls and ceiling of one guest bedroom, entering through an improperly sealed pet door that opened into an interior wall. Once temperatures dropped, they remained there for over 48 hours, creating constant scratching, thumping, and fighting noises throughout the night. Sleep was impossible, and strong odors from their waste spread through the vents. The bedroom became uninhabitable and had to be vacated, and the issue was not fully resolved before checkout. Beyond that, the home shows clear deferred maintenance that feels inappropriate for this price point. The kitchen faucet is loose and unsecured, dirty dishes and utensils found upon arrival, a cabinet was poorly repaired, mold on bathroom ceilings, spider webs present throughout home, ice maker didn’t work, the sauna stopped working during our stay and very drafty windows

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are pleased to hear that the home’s expansive size and premier amenities allowed your families to enjoy your Thanksgiving together in such a beautiful area. We also appreciate your kind words regarding the responsiveness and genuine efforts of our local management team.
Our goal is to provide a seamless, high-end experience for every guest, and we have taken immediate action to ensure this one-of-a-kind property remains in peak condition:
Wildlife Management: The raccoon incident was an isolated and highly unusual occurrence. We immediately engaged professional wildlife specialists to perform a comprehensive sweep and ensure the property was entirely clear. The identified entry point has since been reinforced and sealed, and we can confirm the home is fully secure for all future guests.
Sauna & Amenities: The sauna is fully operational; it was discovered that a simple tripped circuit breaker was the cause of the interruption.
Kitchen Maintenance: We have fully secured the kitchen faucet and confirmed all fixtures are in top condition. Regarding the ice maker, we were disappointed that the unit replaced earlier this year did not meet our longevity expectations, despite its success in other properties. To ensure no disruption to future guests' stay, we have provided an additional countertop ice maker while we await the arrival and installation of a brand-new replacement unit.
Proactive Care: The drafty windows were inspected and found to be fully functional when properly locked. Additionally, the cabinet mentioned has been repaired.
Cleaning Standards: We have worked closely with our cleaning team to refresh our protocols and ensure that every detail, from the common areas to the ceilings, meets our rigorous standards.
For extra assurance, we have a wonderful local team, who have lived in the area for many years and are incredibly responsive to any maintenance or cleaning needs that might arise for our guests.
This is a truly special property in Summit County, and we are committed to ensuring our guests leave with wonderful, lasting memories. We value your input as it helps us maintain the high standards our guests expect.
This is more than a house. This was our first VRBO stay and it exceeded our expectations. The home is beautiful and the location is exceptional. Our family of 11 felt that everyone had their own space yet it was cozy with a great family area. From the indoor swimming pool, spa and steam room to a cozy fire while it snowed outside, it was a beautiful family vacation home. Ian (the Host) is exceptionally responsive and has afforded the home with most everything needed including firewood.
We all agreed that this was one of the best vacations we've shared and in large part to the beautiful home.

We are absolutely thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful time. We strive to create a welcoming and memorable experience for all our guests, and we're delighted that the home exceeded your expectations.
We are particularly glad that you enjoyed the indoor pool, spa, and steam room, as well as the cozy atmosphere that made it a perfect setting for a family vacation.
We are pleased to share that we have recently invested over $500,000 in property enhancements to further elevate the comfort and experience of our guests. These upgrades include:
- A brand-new outdoor hot tub, ideal for relaxing evenings.
- A renovated indoor pool featuring mosaic glass tiles and luxurious rain showers. It is one of a very few properties in Summit County with a heated indoor lap pool.
- A rejuvenating cold plunge pool and a newly added indoor spa for relaxation.
- Modernized kitchen appliances, including a state-of-the-art oven, microwave, and icemaker.
- A newly installed heating system for added comfort during your stay.
We hope these enhancements will further enhance future stays for our guests.
We hope you will consider staying with us again in the future. Whether it's another winter getaway or a summer escape, we would love to welcome you and your family back to the mountains.

We chose the Topaz Estate for a large family reunion because it could accommodate all of us and had several amenities. We were not disappointed. The property was large and comfortable and the views were outstanding. Ian Tan was an incredible host, replying promptly to any questions or resolving any issues I had. That said, I feel like there are certain things that need to be addressed. The day before our arrival I was informed that the pool had developed a leak and was drained. This was a major disappointment as we had children who were very much looking forward to using it. When I asked Ian about refunding a portion of our payment due to the inoperative pool he didn’t hesitate and immediately issued a credit. Many of the issues we experienced have been noted in previous reviews. Dirty windows, soiled carpet and bathroom rugs, one of the two ice makers was inoperative (replaced with a small countertop unit), used coffee filter left in the coffee maker, and dirty BBQ grills.
Several light bulbs were inoperative in two of the bathrooms, and one of the garage door openers didn’t work properly. Also, the outdoor hot tub cover is broken and waterlogged and consequently, heavy and hard to remove. It had bugs and debris in it.
All that said, with a little TLC all these items could easily be rectified and, overall, we still enjoyed our time at the Topaz Estate.

Our stay July 2023 ended up being wonderful. It did start bumpy & disappointing. When we arrived on Sat, we found many instances of not thorough cleaning we expected for the size and price of this rental. The kitchen counters were not clean, coffee maker had a molded filter left in it, & there were Goldfish crackers under the coffee table & 3 toilets not flushed (yuck) & the floors in the kitchen, eating areas & pantry were not swept and 1 icemaker was not working. The floor of the gym was filthy. I texted the owner and let him know these were issues we had upon our arrival and he insisted on sending a cleaning crew Sun from 9 til 2 (should have been done that Sat am). I said this would not work for our family & he insisted on sending 2 people to clean the problems I had addressed. They arrived at 9 & cleaned these things. We purchased a coffee maker to use though. Five of the bedrooms pictured were large & true to size, however the 3 bdrms not shown were small yet had the bed size correct. One of the small bdrms needs new linens, they are stained and gross. We brought some linens so the other ones were not used, and 1 extra mattress pad in a drawer in a small bdrm had a bad stain on it and needs replacing. The handle to the sauna needs repair. The house is lovely and spacious & the views amazing! We really enjoyed our stay after these HUGE issues of cleanliness were addressed, & to his credit, the owner was very accessible. Address these cleaning issues for future renters.

We also understand your concerns regarding the size of some bedrooms. We designed these three bedrooms with children in mind, providing a cozy and comfortable space for them.

We have addressed your concerns regarding the condition of certain linens, including replacing the stained linens and mattress pad.

This is a beautiful house and with a beautiful view which we have enjoyed and the best part of this eatate. 3 of the bedrooms are very small but was okay.
HOWEVER, We booked through VRBO and have been unable to get any feed back or answers as to why? The host will never prove answers to any questions ! The host refers me to Avantstay for all answers which leaves us confused & with so many questions (why not VER. When booking our stay at this estate we booked it for ALL THE AMENITIES we were told it had. We were not told of all the things that were not available unfairly until hours before our arrival. Only told of a few things which is still unfair. We had many houses we could have picked from months in advance and when arriving early we tried to permission from the host to check in but he would not answer in a timely manner nor would verbo! Left us out in the cold! This is not a fair way to do business! After we finally got in the house after check in time we could only could get two of our three vehicles in the garage because of all the stuff along the walls. Along with the Sauna and pool out of order. We noticed that the 2nd hot tub was not even full of water, and one oven was out of order. A day after setting in when trying to play regular pool we couldn’t because pool balls were missing!
We also reported a mouse in the pool area that was never removed. The day we left the hot tub guy showed up to fix (wireup) the hot tub!

Endless broken items
Booked home specifically for the pool having 9 young adults for a family ski vacation. Weeks prior to our stay Management company AdvantStay notified me pool would not be working. They offered no refund so I replied that it was the only reason we booked the house so then they gave me 3% refund which I didn't feel that was an appropriate amount but felt backed into a corner so close to our stay w/13 people. Day before our stay notified me one of the dishwasher was broken and they would not have time to fix it before we arrived. Once we arrived the amount of broken items was endless!!! Microwave out of order, numerous windows broken, cracked, could not be opened, numerous outlets did not work, recliner chairs did not work, Kitchen Fume extractor broken, pull out couch broken, home theater system display only no sound, many cabinet doors almost falling off or very hard to even open. They even had labels printed on several thing "OUT OF ORDER" so clearly its common practice. I emailed them our 2nd day to let them know of all the items broken and requested an additional refund and they told me no contract says no refunds on broken items. i had 10 other houses with all the same amenities except the pool and we all opted to pay the extra for it! I contacted the owner twice to let him know about my dealings with his management company and have yet to receive any response. Have never complained about a VRBO in all my years booking but this was terrible!
Our Family very much enjoyed the property and gave us plenty of room to hangout and enjoy our time. The property has everything as described and is fit for larger groups while relaxing and enjoying their time in the area. We would recommend the facility. The lap pool was great; weight room was used daily and steam room and shower was a hit for everyone. Relaxing in the large jacuzzi was a welcome way to begin or end the day with family. Manger/Owner was very nice and quick to respond.
A couple of areas that were disappointing.
We asked multiple times and confirmed multiple times, for early arrival as many were flying into Denver and meeting up to go to House. Having 4 grandchildren in tow was the main reason. (naps needed, early morning wake-ups, sitting still and flights ++stress all around) We landed around 8:30 am. We would need to pick up luggage, rental van and grab a bite to eat prior arriving. We asked for an 11:00 admission. Owner agreed and said no problems. We were running behind the 11:00 arrival time and kids were becoming very restless. We get a call at 11:00 saying not available until 3. My wife stated that that does not work and we will be on site by noon. We would put kids down for a nap and we would stay out of cleaners way until unit was ready.
The house is very nice but not clean. cobwebs everywhere, cobwebs hanging from ceiling above stove. Was not vacuumed or dusted. Very nice chandeliers but filthy dirty. Beautiful indoor waterfall. Would have been really nice if it was running!! View was awesome but windows had a bad buildup of crud and film, which made the incredible view, blurred. Instead of the mountains feeling like they were in your face, it was a little disappointing. It could have been inc.
2-Dishwashers one was full but dishes were clean, other dishwasher had dirty dishes. 2 fireplaces but no wood to burn other than 5 sticks outside. enough for approx 1 hour of fire. Owner did deliver some wood quickly after notified, but not nearly enough for a 5 day stay. We went out and purchased more. Some bathrooms did not have towels.
Again it is everything they describe, and view is great. If the prep and care of facility would have been at average or above, I would happily give it 5starish rating. We stayed over Thanksgiving and paid a very high premium rate and were disappointed. It felt more like a ski in/out house without the ski in/ski out option (somewhat worn due to use)
Again owner was very pleasant, very nice place!
This was a great place for us to host a group of nonprofit leaders from Denver. Lots of room for folks to have their own bedrooms, nice amenities, beautiful views, and a great shared space for us to get lots of work done! Thanks!
