Our family had an amazing time here! The house was just as pictured in the listing. Plenty of things to do for all ages ranging from 6 yrs to 67 yrs. The views were beautiful as well! Would definitely stay here again!
We had a wonderful time at the Craig Ranch. The location was far enough away for maximum privacy yet close to town for food etc. The view from the deck was gorgeous! We really enjoyed our time, thank you so much!!
The owner was very responsive. The kitchen is stocked and the house was very clean. The place was absolutely amazing. It’s a great remote spot to stay. Lots of things to do at the house, we really enjoyed the game barn. If we get back to the area we would certainly stay here again.
Out family had such a blast, Sarah has stocked this rental as its own retreat, my grandkids had such a blast, not one time did we hear were bored, Thank you Sarah for going beyond what we were expecting, we will definitely be back
The Craig Ranch is the perfect spot for a family vacation in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. My husband, 3 grown kids , spouses and our 1 year old grandson had a wonderful time. We were welcomed to the neighborhood by a moose!
The home is in a beautiful remote location. That offers amazing views and opportunities to connect with nature. I am from Florida and was nervous not knowing what to expect but the host was easy to communicate with and was there if I needed anything. The home and area surrounding was so well maintained it made the stay even better. Highly recommend for any family looking to just get away from city life or ones just looking to connect more with nature.
We were very pleased with our stay, lots of activities to keep the kids busy. House was beautiful, breathe taking views and full of all of the things we needed. Property was centrally located and within an hours drive of lots of activites and places to hike, sightsee and shop. Highly recommended, we would absolutely return.
We had a nice time at this home, great secluded location, with nice views. The outdoor space and deck were great. Communication with the property owner is very easy and she answered any questions we had. Would definitely recommend!
The place was in a gorgeous mountain, very calm and away from the hustle and bustle. The house is very well equipped with games, activities, food and even a cool game room. It’s great for families with multiple age ranges. The host was incredibly responsive and helpful.
The property itself was amazing. It had absolutely everything we needed, from extra blankets, to coffee machines, to central heating, to sleds we could use for when it snowed. Sarah was the best host we could ask for, especially since she was so communicative and would ask how we were doing during our stay. If I could give a rating of 10/10, I certainly would, and I'm happy to come back and stay here again!
We stayed for 9 days! We flew in from Michigan and we felt like we came home!
We had everything we could ask for and more! Plenty of space for 6 of us- 4 adults , 2 teens! The location was secluded and so beautiful! I highly recommend this place! Our host Sarah was great!
Craig Ranch was a delight, especially for the three year old in our midst. So many fun things to do! Also, setting and weather were perfect all week. Communication was exceptional.
Thank you for a very restorative week!
We spent Christmas at this wonderful home. We had a wonderful time, everything was perfect. Sarah had put a tree up for us. The house is stocked with everything we needed and more!! The game barn is so fun!! Hot tub on point. The view amazing.
The house was just as it was described in the listing. It was clean and very homey and comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could ever need. The internet worked great. The game room was amazing and this would be a great place for families. The host was so responsive and answered all our questions. We would love to go back again some day.
This property is beautiful and the owners are great. I had a lot of specific questions and they were so sweet!! My family is already asking when we can come back. We were 4 generations and every generation was happy. I can’t thank them enough. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bedrooms had fans when it was hot and extra blankets for when it was cold. Plenty of seating for everyone. I highly recommend!!
My family and I just completed a 1-week stay at this home in Pine, Colorado and were so pleased with everything this house had to offer!! My children are all adults and enjoyed the private spaces, and the barn with basketball, darts and ping pong. We even had some game nights!! The home was in the woods making it feel we were on our own private mountain!! Thank you Sarah and Paul for sharing your home with us!!
Lots of space. Games like basketball and horseshoes. Some weights if you want to work out. Great kitchen. Everything was super clean. Nice selection of movies.
They thought of everything! It's a bit of a drive to get up to it, but once you get there, it's well worth the journey. The property is gorgeous, there are tons of things to do right there, and the home is ideal. One of the best VRBO properties we've stayed at.
Also, Sarah was great to work with. Very responsive. Oh, and the binder with directions/house rules was by far the best I've seen.
The only word that comes to mind is amazing. This place offered my grandchildren so many wonderful things to do. They had a blast. So much wildlife and the road to their place made coming and going spectacular. The beds were very comfortable and the home very accommodating and cozy. Not one complaint. Sarah is the perfect host and was super nice to talk to and communicate with. It was the perfect 7days and nights and SO happy I found her place.
Such an amazing property, with SO MUCH to do! We were set on doing two active days (Mt. Blue Sky, Meow Wolf, Etc.) and two chill days at the cabin. We had to encourage folks to leave the cabin! The hot tub, game barn, finding new bugs and rocks, relaxing on the deck with that amazing view. We have stayed at quite a few rental properties over the years, and I would say this is the best one yet. Sarah has it figured out for sure, from amenities to communication. We cannot recommend enough and will definately be back!
This property is fabulous for families with kids of all ages. From baby gear to basketball, toy closets, and games from Chutes and Ladders to Jumanji, there is something for everyone. We had a family reunion here, so the ages were from 78 to 4 years of age. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and had everything needed for the oven and BBQ. The hummingbirds were numerous and provided lots of entertainment, watching from the deck or dining room. Sarah the host responded promptly to any of our questions, and was very accommodating for our family. The area is very much in the forest, even though it’s only a short drive from Denver. We saw several deer, and even a bear during the week.
