Overall nice stay
The house/cabin was as listed. The bedrooms were good for what we needed. I had some trouble finding extra linens (specifically pillowcases and an extra blanket for sitting on the couch upstairs) but found them eventually. The kids said that the spare bedroom beds were comfortable. The master bedroom mattress on one side is Very slanted to the outside and feels like you’ll roll off. The bathrooms were clean with towels, but no extra toiletries except for one small one use packet of shampoo/conditioner and a hand soap bar about the size of 50 cent piece. We tried to use the grill, but both tanks of propane were empty. We let the owner know and she offered to reimburse us to get them refilled, however they are locked up and we just decided to cook the steaks inside at that point. The key to the jacuzzi was accidentally taken home by one of the housekeepers. We had communicated with the owner that we couldn’t find it and after some phone calls by her to the housekeepers, it was found with them. It took several hours for them to return it the house so we could use it. I get that mistakes happen, but this was definitely upsetting having to wait for it to get back there when this was one of the reasons we booked this cabin. Lastly, the house is for sale. The owner sent us a text message the day of our arrival asking if the house could be shown the next morning. I didn’t want to upset anyone by saying no. I know selling a home can be stressful so we made the best of it.

Horrible Stay
We came out on Mothersday weekend, we ended up with a water leak in the kitchen which my husband tried fixing for them and could not, we called and Lorena asked us to put a bowl there to catch the water she said that this happened and she knew exactly what it was from,the sliding door in the kitchen did not close properly and the balcony was really wobbly and not secure in some spots, I called and let her know right o way so she was aware. The linen was not clean which we just washed it our selves which we were still trying to have a positive weekend, everything was out dated and the chairs were broken in the living room, the smell was old in the house, but lastly on our 3rd day there which was MOTHERs DAY we all wake up and attempt to get ready to have a fun day and guess what NO hot water!!!! I called and explained to Lorena and she stated it wouldn’t be worth it to have someone come out and fix it since check out is at 11! Mind you we had lots of fun activities planned none of us could get ready! She said it was out of her control and she would reimburse us 40 dollars that didn’t even cover the hotel room I had to purchase just so we could get ready for the day! I tried being reasonable and polite and just wanted her to fix this and she refused! Thank you lady for ruing my mothersday I hope you never have to encounter such a messed up day!

Perfect family vacation place!!!
This was our first family vacation ever, and I know that puts alot of pressure on the situation, but this place more than delivered on amazing!! We spent alot of time on both porches, admiring the spectacular views. It was beautiful. There were deer on the property that my kids had never seen, and that alone, made them so happy. It was very clean, clear labels in multiple places that answered many questions so we didnt need to bother the owner too much, and when we did have questions she was quick to answer and was very friendly and answered all our questions. It was an amazing vacation that we will never forget. Perfect! You could see snow on the mountains, the hot tub was on its own deck and very nice, as was the whole of the house. 5 stars!!! Loved it and will definitely stay there again!!!

Everything was pretty comfy and clean for the most part. A little outdated furniture but for the most part it gave it charm. Some dishware were broken, probably from previous guest but it looked like it was fixed by the owners with some tape. We loved the view, it was breathtaking,something

Loved seeing deers outdoors, in the morning. Peaceful and quiet place to stay with family. Didn't risk being outdoors when it was dark due to risk of bears, elks and deers in the area. Loved our stay in this cabin....

Highly recommend getaway!
My husband is retired Military and I am a social worker. We love to get away from time to time sometimes with some of our adult kids and grandchildren, and at other times alone! Lorena is a blessing and a wonderful host! She is very attentive and was available when we needed. The cabin is wonderfully equipped with all that you will need, besides the groceries, of course! But you have plates, silverware pans, and even Cookie sheets which made my grandchildren very happy because we could bake cookies! The property is nestled on the corner beside other properties, but the neighborhood was extremely quiet. We had the wildlife come up to the cabin, which my grandchildren also enjoyed seeing. It truly was wonderful to stay at this cabin and comfortable as well. I believe in finding out for yourself how majestic this place is, I definitely recommend it. And I will also be returning. Thank you, Lorena!

Wonderful stay with beautiful views
We had a wonderful stay! The property was a a few minutes from town and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub every morning and watched the sunset from the upper balcony each evening. The views were beautiful and the king size bed was so comfortable. Well worth the price if you book your stay during the week. We will definitely stay here again.

Was a little worried after reading some of the reviews but was pleased with our stay. Jacuzzi worked great and was very clean. The rest of the cabin was clean and ready to be used. Kitchen has plenty of pots, pans and utensils. Only thing missing was a mop but we bought a small one to keep by the door leading from Jacuzzi. Was a bit stuffy upstairs but with the ceiling fan and portable ac it was manageable. Stairs are not steep but it is a lot to be going up and down if you’re not used to it. The cabin wasn’t as hard to get to as some of the reviews lead me to believe. It is a bit steep on some streets but my car made it just fine. Would be a bit leery during winter when it’s snowing or iced. Overall would definitely stay here again.

The property was extremely dirty. The host failed to provide an alternate route to access the property. The front door was wide open upon arrival, excused by a dead battery. This made entrance and locking up at night very concerning. The jacuzzi was disgusting and unusable. The host promised to send a caretaker who did not drive until after 9pm, making the jacuzzi unusable for more than half of our stay at least. The host offered a refund with promises to contact me the next day. The host failed to contact me prompting me to initiate a formal complaint. She then refused a refund of any sort citing Jesus and peace. Extremely odd behavior given the situation. She claimed the jacuzzi was 'a bonus', despite being listed as an amenity, and told me I was trash. I have a feeling this is usual behavior regarding this property. The photos are VERY deceiving. The jacuzzi issue was never rectified making it unusable during the entirety of our stay. There appeared to be feces on the walls. The bathrooms were full of mold and very dirty. The carpet appeared to have not been vacuumed for quite some time. The stove left much to be desired. The kitchen cabinets were in serious need of repair and cleaning. I wore water shoes when using the shower. The bathroom 'doors' and nothing more that hollow pocket doors allowing for less than a desired amount of privacy. I will also be contacting the local Chamber of Commerce and the governing body responsible for CRS Business Registration compliance.

We arrived and getting into the home was a breeze. Home was very comfortable and clean. The only thing I would change is not having a wall plugin in every room. This home was in a great location and easy to find. Beds were comfortable. I would definitely recommend to all my family and friends.

Not as expected
The air conditioning consists of 3 portable floor units that have to be worked on and water drained from inside the unit once or twice a day. Stairs from the living room to the bedrooms are super steep. The dining room table is an older tucked away foldable with pull-out chairs. The house was clean, top bathroom and kitchen were updated and outdoor furniture was nice. Owner was very responsive although her initial solution was for me to carry a bottom floor portable a/c up the stairs to connect and vent it or instructions on how to remove the back of the a/c and fix the problem.
