Perfect Weekend Getaway

We were looking for a last minute trip before school started and this was perfect. There was so much to do. Kids loved the darts and game room. The fire pit was big and offered so much seating. Hosts were extremely responsive and accommodating. Wish house was a bit more off the road, but was super close to hiking trails. Would definitely stay again!

Nice home

The home is nice, and clean. Contacts were available and polite. House would be amazing with use of outdoor space in warmer weather but is a little small when use of outside isn’t possible. Great for a group or reunion in the summer!!

GREAT LOCATION

The cabin is in a great location, it is beautifully decorated and maintained. We loved the outdoor space as well. We were surprised by the very small upstairs bedrooms (too small for real doors). The kids loved the cubby spaces for sleeping but the adults felt pretty cramped. The master bedroom is gorgeous and very spacious, kind of at the expense of the other bedrooms.

It was a great home for our family and friends. We utilized the outside area the most as we had beautiful weather. We went hiking and tubing very close to the cabin. It was very clean and met all of our needs. The kids loved the game room as well as the Cornhole tournament we had. We created ever lasting memories. My only recommendation would to get a new hot tub cover as it was very hard to get it on and off and it didn't fit well. Overall we had a great time there!

Beautiful home in a perfect location to enjoy Cooks Forest and Clear Creek. The hosts were pleasant, helpful, and responsive. The house is beautifully constructed and decorated. The children loved the game shed and us moms loved the fully stocked kitchen and bathrooms (less to pack)! Highly recommend if you are looking to stay in the area with all the amenities of home. Thank you for sharing your space with us!

Short vacation with family. Loved the variety of activities provided at the house complex. Appreciated the availability of the guest shed since the bedrooms upstairs are a bit small and we needed the extra space. The owners were quick to respond to any questions and came out within an hour when we had an issue that needed to be addressed. Thanks so much!

Pluses and minuses

There were several great outdoor and entertainment spaces, which we were happy to use, including the hot tub, which was very clean. There are accessibility issues with the 3 upstairs bedrooms - very steep stairs with only a partial handrail and low headroom. Also there were no doors on the upstairs bedrooms. We did not realize that both bathrooms were on the first floor, making night-time visits difficult.

Great stay

The cabin and amenities were just as described! Everything in the main living cabin was new and very clean. The beer and game sheds were an excellent retreat area. Hot tub, fire pit with plenty of seating , & grill helped cap off the stay. The hosts for this property were easy to contact & their attention to detail makes this place very guest friendly!!
