• Too many drawbacks

  1/5

  The exterior of the property looks great and the fun yard was a hit with the kids. There is plenty of nice woodwork throughout the inside and some fun examples of old time craftsmanship. We had a good time at the fire pit with the party lights strung around.

  But this rental’s interior is so tired and sad and showed so many examples of neglect, it all just added up to a deal dealbreaker for us.

  The main floor sectional where we wanted to gather as family is old, dirty and snagged with a torn lining hanging down from the underneath. A mass of unsightly wires hang from a wall mounted tv. The fireplace had a hole in it. There are multiple pieces of furniture with evidence of dog chewing. The balcony is a mess of broken and chipped concrete. A bathroom towel rack pulled off a wall with ordinary use. We had a hanging heat register from the ceiling and broken side table in one room. One bedroom closet was full of owners property and unusable for those in the room. Hangers for the closets were scarce. We found a pile of owners things in one of the loft areas. Some drapes were hung crooked and some were mismatched. The kitchen sink window was dirty and several walls had unpainted patches. Some patio furniture upholstery was torn and stained. The bar stool seats were pealing. The flatware is assorted and mismatched with some cracked dinner plates.

  We enjoyed being together for our weekend away but I would not recommend this home. It’s the first VRBO that has disappointed.

  4/5

  Overall we enjoyed our stay, the house had plenty of space for all 17 of us. Location was good for hiking, skiing and site seeing.

  We had a large group of adults, young adults and teenagers, it would have been nice to have more single bed options and not all double beds.

  The hot tub needed a lot of work for balancing chemicals and cleaning when we arrived, it took a good day of work, but enjoyed it after that.

  There was only enough complimentary laundry detergent for 3 loads of laundry, and we ran out of toilet paper after a couple of days. We also had to switch batteries around in remotes for the TV's, several of the batteries in them were dead.

  Love this area of Colorado!

• No TP

  4/5

  The main reason I rated a 4 and not 5 was no TP when we arrived had to go to store immediately. Also some rooms very hot and some very cold H/C very hard to figure out. Other than that it was a very nice home and enjoyed the stay.

  5/5

  We had the most wonderful time staying at this charming home. It has everything you need, the kitchen has every dish, plate, pot, pan, knives, etc., that you would ever need. There is a coffee station with coffee and tea. The bedrooms and bathrooms are all updated. The bed are very comfortable. The hot tub is clean and the firepit is great.

  This home is just so comfortable, we highly recommend it!
