The home had a lovely cottage, cozy rustic vibe. It was immaculately clean and a great location. It felt like coming home each day as we returned from the slopes. We loved the outdoor fire pit and the views from that area. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Beds were super comfy. I would definitely rent again.
The house is in a great location and I as very comfortable. So many cute antiques throughout the house. The host was quick to respond to any questions. I will definitely stay here again.

Close to skiing was a plus! On the downside, all of the furniture was very uncomfortable and the master bedroom had dust bunnies all over.
We've stayed at this house several times now. We enjoy the house layout and having a well stocked kitchen. It's also convenient access to Loveland Ski Area. Host is proactively communicative on check in and check out. We haven't had any issues during our stays.
The house was extremely well equipped. Absolutely adorably decorated and comfortable. It was located just a few blocks from shopping. It was a fabulous place to stay in Georgetown!
It was an awesome stay! The cabin/home was immaculate, stocked with all the essentials to make several meals and so cozy. Lots of space for conversation, board games and relaxation. Did not want to leave!
This home is very comfortable with plenty of room for all of us (2 couples). Great location - within walking distance to the downtown shops and restaurants. It was a lovely place to stay for New Years. We would definitely stay here again!
The house was great for my family of 5 (2 adults 3 teenagers). We enjoyed the spaciousness and amenities (especially the sauna). Very clean as well. Owner was also very responsive with my questions.
We had a wonderful weekend at this property with our family. We flew in from North Carolina for our nieces graduation and Georgetown was the perfect place to stay. Great location not far from Denver but in the beautiful Rockies! The house was perfect for our family. Very clean, comfortable and stocked. We will definitely stay here again!

Colorado was my home for the last 14 years. I have traveled the world and think small mountain towns in the Rockies are real treasure.
