Thank you Jacinda!! It was a pleasure to host you.
Easy check-in. Great communication from host. Very clean. Spent the weekend there with 4 couples. Plenty of room and good location if you are looking for a stay near Castle Rock.
We had a wonderful stay! The home is beautiful and very clean! Robert was quick to answer any questions. The hot tub was clean and they also had many games at the home ( pool table, diffrent board games and etc). We were able to grill and even make smores in the fire pit. This was was our favorite homes to stay and cant wait to come back in the summer.
August Inn was a wonderful place for meeting up with our family for Thanksgiving. The game room was a hit for kids and adults. The hot tub was a great experience in the snow. The house was clean and well furnished. The beds were well covered. We will be looking to do this again but maybe next time in summer. One more thing our host was great in communications.

Thanks, Bruce! I’m so glad you were able to enjoy a beautiful snowy weekend in the hot tub. You and your grandkids will love it in the summer too 😊
House had everything we could ask for and some nice extras, the snacks in basket and coffee selection is a great touch. Game room is great. Shuffleboard could use some balancing. Highly recommend this house if you are just looking for a place to get away. Little bit of a hike to get to the dells. (close to 40 min) Host was great and answered any questions I had. House does a slight view of the lake and even though its in "town" still had deer walk through the yard. Great place to stay
