Clean house, nice property! We stayed here with my family for a wedding at Wild Basin Lodge. The house was just as described. We had plenty of space, and enjoyed how much nature was around us. The hosts were great, we even spoke with them personally and they helped my kids feed the animals on the property.

Family Christmas in Allenspark

This property could not have been more perfect. The cozy atmosphere and warm potbelly stove made our trip so magical. The owners were very accommodating and helped us extend our stay when the weather across WY and SD was not conducive for travel. Everything about this home and experience made for the perfect winter vacation!

Friday night, all over 50 years of age, laughing and get a call from the owners who are like 50 feet away saying to be quiet. Owners are too close. For the price we should have been able to laugh out loud.

This house is beautiful. We stayed for Christmas and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to cook and bake. We loved having a white Christmas, but really would like to see this place in the summer. The wrap around deck is beautiful too!

Family gathering to remember who had passed away several years ago. We had several generations of several family groups from around the US - Kansas, Iowa, Maryland, Illinois, possibly other states. Gathering location was near Allenspark so this location was minutes from the "home site".

Lone Star cabin

Very clean, owners very responsive to only slight issues. Kitchen well stocked, (no Keurig though). The only reason I docked one star was cabin is pretty close to hwy 7. We typically stay more farther from hwy. no noise issue from road just hoped for more wild life. Tons of hummingbirds!
