8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Dec 2025
We had minor issues at check in as the cleaning company did not empty the trash can or leave any toilet paper. The house is incredibly spacious with two refrigerators and two stoves. There were plenty of dishes. Parking was more than adequate for 5 cars.Be aware that lighting is an issue in two very different ways. The light bulbs are very dim, so it is hard to see when trying to play games or cook at night. On the other hand, the sun comes barreling into the big windows that face the south in the front and it is not only blinding but also makes it difficult to see the television.Most importantly....THE INTERNET DROPPED frequently and we literally missed the last two minutes of some very competitive sporting events that we were watching as a family. It was incredibly frustrating. Might have been helpful to have the light switches labeled.The hot tub/pool is big and the kids loved it. Some of us quit going outside due to fear of the bears and coyotes that hung around the house a bit.

We spent the weekend at beautiful Cloud 9 and it was such a wonderful experience! Check in was an easy process, the house was cozy and clean and had exceptional views of the mountains!! We saw so much wildlife including 3 bears during our time. We enjoyed the hot tub and cooking out on the patio, watching the sunset on the upper patio, and on Saturday we eloped on the lower concrete patio overlooking the mountains. Miss Tia and her team are wonderful and our Cloud 9 experience was great. Already missing our time together at the lodge!

With the big age range of the grandkids, this spectacular property provided the space and separation needed for little ones naps and big kids fun! The photos of the home on the VRBO site showed the home as it was - SO BEAUTIFULLY decorated - I resisted the urge to steal many great decor accents! You won't find a more lovely home - kitchen well stocked for cooking - 2 fridges were appreciated! Being able to wash a few clothes was a huge plus! And the BEARS! We saw them every day, and as you can see, one even decided they liked the outdoor family room as much as we did! We even saw a bobcat in the backyard the first night! The views did not get tiring. Even though you are in a neighborhood, you really have the sense of being in the mountains, solitude. The pool is so close! And the swim spa was a big plus for the kids! I could go on and on! If you are looking for a big place for family or friends - I GUARANTEE you will not be dissappointed! Coffee on the deck in the morning - ahhhh. Cocktail on the deck in the evening - ahhhh.
