Christmas in the Rockies

This home is absolutely beautiful! There was plenty of room for our party of 7 and the tasteful Christmas decor was a wonderful touch. The only negatives I can say is that this is the first vacation rental I have ever stayed in that had so many owner personal items throughout. It wasn’t a problem, but felt a bit strange. The kitchen is in dire need of organization, but still had everything we needed. And we had a bit of trouble with the washer get stuck on the spin cycle. But overall, it was an amazing week and great place for quality time with my nearly grown kids.

Great house, view and location

Great house that was clean and exactly like its pictures. House was very well stocked for cooking. View was fantastic and the location was perfect. Only down side was one bedroom had a matress you could feel the spirngs in and a neighbor that complained about music we were playing outside before the noise ordinance was active but the property manager was great about it and handled it professionally. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect Place!

We loved this house. It was beautiful inside and very spacious. Plenty of separate living rooms and dens for the adults and kids to spread out and do their own things. The house feels like it’s in a remote and scenic location but it’s only a short drive into Estes Park. There were rabbits and little chipmunk like animals everywhere. The property manager was responsive and communicative. Would definitely stay again.
