We came to Colorado on a family vacation, as our closest friends have moved to the Denver area, so naturally my husband's BFF came along for the ride. Prior to having children, we referred to him as our adopted son, but now that we have children of our own, he is their "uncle" - family by choice. This house was perfect! Our children slept downstairs and the grown-ups had the upstairs. The guys loved the trail behind the house and climbed a mountain and brought back brautiful photos while the ladies stayed behind and watched a movie, eating snacks. We easily visited all 3 state parks and checked out the different caves. The house had everything we needed and was exactly what we wanted. Enough room to spread out so there was no stepping on one anothers toes. The views could not be better. The best part was meeting our host, Tom. I cannot say enough positive things about this man. He is such a kind, genuine, lovely guman being. By the time we left, I felt like we were saying good-bye to a family friend. We've been watching the news and hoping the wildfires dont make it to his home because we know what a labor of love that has been. We were honored to have been able to stay there for a few days and would love to return. I think my husband's exact words, "You should tell Tom to contact us if he ever wants to sell..." In summary, 5 stars - would highly recommend. It was perfect!

This is a nicely updated old-fashion motor lodge. Very clean and updated. I enjoyed the pot of hot oatmeal available at the breakfast room.
