As some others have said...we almost hate to tell you how much we loved this house and location! I want this little gem to be there should we ever get the opportunity to return!! When we pulled into the neighborhood -we thought for sure we had went the wrong way. The neighborhood is very well kept with beautiful homes looking at the mountains.

We had two families staying here the week of July 4th. We had 4 adults and 5 teenage boys (two 14 years olds, two 17 year olds and one 18 year old)....so you could say 9 adults. Our fear was that we would be tripping over each other. Sometimes pictures can be deceiving...for the worse. But I am so happy to report that the pictures don't really do the place justice. It was so roomy. Everyone had space to retreat to and leave each other alone!

We were a little concerned about the no A/C...we are from Iowa and all we know is hot, humid heat. CO was having some high temps that week and the owners had a couple portable A/C units that we could run in the heat of the day. We ran them some...but most nights we shut them off and opened the windows.

My husband and I took the master, the other couple the other room upstairs and two of the boys in the bunk bed room. The only slight drawback was that the door to the master bath is an open wall. Sometimes our boys wanted to come and shower in our room. There was a rod there - so I threw a sheet over the rod to create a door. The 3 other boys crashed in the downstairs room or on the couches....only because we couldn't tear them away from the projector downstairs. What a great way for teenage boys to unwind...watching action movies on the big screen.

We love the grass in the back yard. The boys were able to throw a football around!

We found almost EVERYTHING you would ever want or need already provided. One thing they might consider adding is a flat griddle - we fixed pancakes one morning and had to cook them one at a time in a pan. But I am telling you they have everything there. There might have even been a griddle and we didn't find it!

The location for us was perfect. It was very central to what we wanted to see. We could head north or south with a short trip either direction. There are plenty of amenities within a 5 minute drive.

We couldn't have been happier. Bill & Patty communicated with us before, during and after to make sure it was everything we expected! Thank you for their part in helping us have a great family vacation!!
