We had an absolutely incredible time this weekend. The house was perfect and the hosts were extremely communicative. I had inquired about the water levels when I booked and they kept me posted leading up to our stay. The bunk room was perfect for summer camp vibes and the bedding was clean and comfortable. Hoping to make this an annual trip.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re so happy to hear you had such an incredible weekend and that the house was a perfect fit for your group. We especially loved hearing that the bunk room gave you those summer camp vibes - that’s exactly the kind of fun and memorable experience we hope people have at Strawberry Hill! We’re also glad we could keep you updated about the water levels leading up to your stay. We know how important that was to your trip, and we always want our guests to have a clear picture of what to expect. It was a pleasure having you, and we would absolutely love to have you back for an annual trip!

Amazing for Large Groups and Close Friends

I booked this home for a group of 10 and not only were there more than enough beds, the common space was perfect for small and large groups alike! The place was exactly as advertised and was a perfect home for us during our stay.

Perfect location and the views are beautiful! Plenty of space inside and plenty of bathrooms. It worked out great for our family of 12. We didn’t know there was no central air, so we had to purchase three additional fans. We very disappointed with the cleanliness — bugs in drawers/ on walls, toilets not cleaned, and grime and dust on lots of surfaces. We could have used more toilet paper/paper towels too and had to purchase extra.Overall it was still a beautiful home in the mountains, and we had a great stay!

Wonderful Stay!

There were 18 of us that stayed 3 nights here. Beautiful home with gorgeous views. We were in contact with the property manager throughout our stay. He made sure to answer any questions we had and was more than helpful. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Great weekend getaway with friends

This was a great place for our friend group, with plenty of room for 16 adults. You are in the mountains, but it is just a short drive from Boulder. The views from the property are awesome. Beds were comfortable. Communication with the hosts was easy. One of my favorite moments of the weekend was walking down to the ponds and doing a walk around the property. There is a short, but fun trail that makes you feel in nature without leaving the property.

Fantastic location and overall very nice home. Lovely outdoor space with beautiful views! Loved exploring the property. Lots of square footage made it nice for my family get together. Massivr kitchen area was very nice for our big dinner Communication with property manager was fantastic, very fast responses and helpful information.Reason for 4 stars were the many quirks, such as strange appliances they were confusing to use (oven, microwave), the home was not very accessible for my elderly family, septic smell in the front of the house, and several random things such as blinds and towel racks falling down.Overall wonderful experience, would highly recommend small events here.

This property and host exceeded every expectation. We hosted a joint birthday party for 25 people, and the house and grounds handled the crowd with room to spare, everyone was comfortable.What really stood out was how the host handled a hiccup. Our trip centered on fishing, and she proactively reached out ahead of time to let us know conditions were poor due to the ongoing drought. She was upfront that the property might not meet our expectations and gave us the option to back out. That kind of honesty says a lot about her character as a host.We decided to go anyway, and it turned out to be a great call. Highly recommend this property and this host!

Thank you so much for this incredibly kind review! We truly loved having you and your group at Strawberry Hill, and I’m so happy to hear that everyone had such a great time! I really appreciate you mentioning the fishing situation. With the drought this year, I knew the conditions weren’t what they normally are, and I wanted to make sure you had all the information before your trip so there were no surprises. It meant a lot that you understood the situation and decided to come anyway - and I’m especially glad it turned out to be such a great weekend! You were absolutely wonderful guests, and it was a pleasure having you here. We would be thrilled to host you again anytime! Thank you again for choosing Strawberry Hill and for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful review. It really means a lot to us!

We had a large group of extended family which included 10 kids under the age of 8. There was a lot to keep them busy inside and outside. We utilized the bunk room which is a must if you have that many kids and 12 adults. We saw moose several times at the pond during our stay which was exciting.

Wonderfully large space to host my group with beautiful outdoors. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of seating. Only complaints was that we couldn’t find a can opener and that the upstairs queen bedrooms fan remote was missing so we were unable to run the fan. Easy check in experience, just make sure you have the check in instructions saved before going up as my phone had no service up there and we had to drive back down to Nederland to access service to see the instructions.
