Summer Cooling: We cool our home using an Evaporative Cooler (Swamp Cooler), which is an energy-efficient and eco-friendly system. In our dry mountain climate, this system delivers a constant flow of fresh, naturally cooled, and subtly humidified air—a welcome, comfortable relief from the dry heat! A Note on Mountain Wildlife:
Our property is nestled in a beautiful natural environment. While we take meticulous steps to clean and maintain the house and employ professional pest control, it is a reality of mountain living that insects and small field rodents can occasionally find their way inside, particularly during seasonal changes. Booking acknowledges this possibility, and no refunds will be provided for such sightings. Thank you for embracing the charm of the mountains!

Beautiful home, in a beautiful location. Perfect spot to stay off you want to hit vail and Aspen. Sunlight mountain also has great things to do. The host is responsive and courteous. Def recommend and we are planning to go back. Thank you thank you thank you
This was a great location for an active trip with family and friends. We mountain biked, hiked, walked around downtown and enjoyed Iron Mountain Hot Springs. The views from the house are spectacular!
Property manager was flexible and responsive. House was beautiful and fully stocked with everything we needed. We enjoyed the Mountain Views, hot tub and easy access to every thing Glenwood Springs has to offer.
Host was super responsive. Stay was great. Place was huge. Kids had a blast. Just wish there had been some cards and games to play as a big group in addition to the fun game room. Would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful home,family- friendly. Home has great views from back deck and hot tub. Downstairs is a kids paradise.We had a wonderful stay. Home is spacious with plenty of room for our family. Clean and well supplied,beds for the little ones in each room. We look forward to staying at this home again.
The property is beautiful, very spacious and all thought the beds were comfortable. The kitchen was ok. The oven did not cook very hot. It took longer for the fries to get done. Lots of areas for the kids to play games or watch movies.Beautiful outdoor areas to eat and enjoy the scenery.
The time we spent at this house was terrific. Kenny was easy to communicate with and the house was well stocked. Besides it being a lovely house, there were several aspects that we especially appreciated…there were enough chairs at the dining room table for everyone, there were multiple outdoor decks and lots of seating on each, there were plenty of pans, silverware, plates, cups and baking sheets, there were fans for each bedroom plus an upstairs cooling system. We were comfortable, even on warm days. Both kids and adults enjoyed the extra space downstairs and the additional refrigerator was a nice bonus. Having the garage available made parking several cars easier, and gave us space for golf clubs and bikes. All these things added up to make our stay very enjoyable.
Overall, everything is fine, but we wanted more comfort
Overall, we liked our stay in this house. It's great that there is a hot tub outside and a grill, a closed garage. The house is large and will accommodate a large company. But the house does not seem cozy, there are no decorative items at all, as in the photo. It would be great if there was at least tea, coffee, cream in the house, we usually encountered this when we rented different houses and apartments.

Thank you for your feedback! We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the hot tub, grill, and the spaciousness of the house. It’s great to know the house worked well for your group.
We did want to mention that we provide coffee and tea in the cabinet above the coffee maker, and we’re sorry if it wasn’t immediately clear. As for the decor, we had explained in our listing that we were still in the process of adding finishing touches since it’s a brand new listing. We’ve already added additional decorative items, and we hope you’ll notice the updates if you return!
Thanks again for your insights, and we’d love to have you back for another stay!
Everything was great except someone came and sprayed for bugs so the kids couldn’t go outside and play at prime playtime for 3 hrs and one of the game room items we could not get to work. I would still rate this a 5/5 as nothing in life is perfect and things break and bugs must sprayed for at some point in life.
Kenny and Emily are the parents of two active boys realizing our dream of mountain living. We have been working towards our goal of opening our home to let others share in the beauty of this location. We live nearby and are ready to help with any needs you may have during your trip. We love the idea of meeting people from all over the world through this venture.
