This was such a beautiful home to spend Christmas with my family. Very spacious and cozy and just a few minutes from Angel fire ski resort which we spent much of our time at. Our host Lori was wonderful and gave clear information on house rules and recommendations. Lori was excellent at responding when we needed help and even helped out when we accidentally left a bag after check out. 10/10 would rent again!

Perfect, if I'm in angel fire again I won't look to stay anywhere else.

We stayed with a large group including small kids. Location was perfect. Close to ski resort yet isolated enough to appreciate the views of the lake and mountains. Kids could sled on a slope just feet away from the house. House was clean and well equipped. Owner was a joy to work with. We all loved our stay.

Great location on the lake

Wonderful Friends Snowy Getaway

This property was perfect for 3 couples and children. The layout of the home was exactly what we needed. It’s amazingly insulated so we adults could stay up as loud as we wanted without waking sleeping kiddos! The fully stocked kitchen is large/open so very easy for everyone to move around without feeling congested. The men in our group made an incredible snow slide just on the side of the house that the kids spent hours on. So many laughs! So much love!

Great Mountain Get-away

This was a perfect property for our needs. It's right outside of Angel Fire, so skiing is very accessible. The lake, while mostly frozen over at the time, is within shouting distance. It's also a great point if you're looking to visit the whole Enchanted Circle. Everything was very fresh and clean. The kitchen is huge! We made full use of the sleds and ping pong table which are included. We also saw plenty of deer and birds walk right up to the house, which was thrilling. Overall, this was a fantastic spot to host our family with 6 adults and 2 kids

Septic issues.

We had to leave within 2 hours as the septic was not working. It was around 5 PM when we discovered the problem. We had to relocate to a hotel & found another place to go to the following day. However, that meant over 24 hours of chaos with 2 small children. While the owner was helpful, this has made me realize rentals have major issues which are not easily solved. Also, TV never worked.
Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2024
Response from VrboOwner on 4 January 2025
Karla I am deeply sorry about the septic pump going out . There is absolutely no way I could have know or predicted this happening. I did everything I could possible to help get you moved to another home and even found one that is bigger than mine that belonged to friends that were willing to let you stay for half the price because of the inconvenience. You said you found another one that you were going to stay in instead. You never stayed a night in our home so I am not sure how you were able to rate it - but it is what it is. Unfortunately it has put a black eye on my high rating. Again, I am deeply sorry for the pump breaking on the septic. You got all your money back and deserved so since you never stayed in the house and it took a day to get your reservation canceled. Truly I hope the home you found worked out great and that you had a great time on your trip. Lori

Relaxing Week with a great view

A beautiful view of the Monte Verde lake with Mt. Wheeler in the background made a great start to every day in this cozy home. We enjoyed a great week with our kids and grandkids (9 of us) staying at Lake Haven. It was just as advertised. We came over Thanksgiving just to spend time with the family. We enjoyed walks around the lake, hikes in the snow, sledding, watching the deer, playing games around the big dinning room table, putting together puzzles on the table in the kitchen, preparing meals in the big kitchen and eating them around the big table and finishing each day sitting by the warm wood fire place. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils, staples, coffee and hot chocolate. Having a TV upstairs and downstair was nice. Not many house have a big table for eating together which we enjoyed. The kids enjoyed the ping-pong table in the garages which also has sleds and bikes. Lori was helpful to answers questions before and while we were at the house. Staying in Lake Haven will be a good family memory for us.

First, Lori was amazing working with us on our accommodations and even went through the trouble of putting up Christmas decorations for our stay during the week of Christmas. Lori, Thank you for that. The house was very beautiful, and it even snowed for us Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. The view of Monte Verde Lake and the snowcapped mountains was just amazing. The house was very spacious, clean and roomy. The beds were very comfortable. We would definitely use this house again. Lori, Ya'll have a beautiful place.
