Wonderful place to stay. The two seperate floors with seperate spaces (two kitchens, two sitting areas) makes it great for two families. Beds were especially comfy and place was well stocked with kitchen needs. Plenty of space. We would definitely return.

Great place for my husband, me, and our two teenage sons to stay. We golfed, hiked, tubed down the Platte River and had a great time. The location was handy to all that we wanted to do. The house was clean and well equipped for our stay. Would stay again if back in the area. Emily was helpful and easy to contact.
