House was excellent place for 3 families to come together. Space is aplenty, house was very clean, hot tub lovely, responsiveness and kindness of host outstanding, and proximity to nearby trails was exceptional. Highly recommend.
Everything was great for our 7-person group! Plenty of towels, storage space, and rooms available. Owner was quick to communicate and assisted us before booking with all of our inquiries. Local area was charming, with plenty of nearby eating options while still being able to enjoy a much-needed escape from city life.
We had the best time! It was truly a great place to stay, it was in the mountains and the river was running close by. We went fishing and hi king, roasted marshmallows! It was absolutely amazing, we did not want to leave!

Thank you, Glenn! I’m glad you and your family had a good time in the area and that the accommodations were comfortable!
We loved our long weekend here while visiting our cadet at USAFA! The location was beautiful with trails to explore right at the front door! An extra perk was the fishing poles ready to go that our youngest enjoyed especially! Thank you for the well thought out kitchen staples, too! These made meals much more tasty!

About the host
Hosted by Beth Apotheker
We are originally from Michigan and moved to Colorado in 2002 to enjoy the skiing, mountain biking, hiking and scenery and never left. We purchased this home in 2022 so we could share our love of the area with people from all over. We both work in the medical field and enjoy working with the public and are customer service oriented. We love to share our favorite spots and provide a clean, comfortable and inviting place for guests to stay. We live close by and are available to assist our guests any time of day or night when needed.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with Green Mountain Falls the first time we went there, over 20 years ago, and have made the area our home. Feels like we're always on vacation!
What makes this property unique
Fabulous location. Beautiful 1-mile walk into town, along Belvidere Avenue and Fountain Creek. The trailhead to Catamount Reservoir, Garden of Eden, Thomas Trail, and the waterfalls is a 3 minute walk from the front door!
