"Excellent location. Plenty of space for four adults. The kitchen had plenty of pots and pans for cooking and baking. The hiking trail out the back was beautiful. Close to good ski options."

All of it was just wonderful! The house was beautiful, it had so many lovely features and everything we needed. The front porch was the best place for 6 30 a.m. coffee with my friend. The place down but he creek was beautiful; but it was rainy so we did not get to enjoy it. The big table was perfect for game and card playing, and bathrooms {2} were more than accommodating. The decor throughout and even the books were all perfect! The host was very good about what ws expected, and very good about letting us know. And, the housekeeper was a joy to meet! She was very friendly, and we enjoyed her as well.We were from Salt Lake City and North Platte, Nebraska. We would definitely stay again! Our stay was more than memorable and we all thank you so very much!

Arrived to a beautiful, clean and well-maintained Colorado mountain spot but we soon came to find out that on this property there are more do's than don'ts. Outdoor cameras made us feel uncomfortable as they were being observed while we were occupying the residence. Our family was excited to light up the chimenea near the serene, snow-covered flowing creek especially after reading all the reviews about how quaint and outdoorsy the fire was - a complete Colorado experience. But unfortunately, there was a tin cap locking out any wood from entering the opening up with a note that the county had a fire ban in place. After calling the Clear Creek county sheriffs office and finding out there was no fire ban, the owner told us it was the short-term rental (STR) arm of the county that disallowed outside visitors of rental property from lighting fires of any sort outdoors, including the gas grill. As pretty as the property was, as well-appointed and comfy the inside of the home was, there were too many distractions that took away from the experience you'd expect from renting a mountain cabin.
