The cabin was super cute and very clean.
We enjoyed this home away from home!! The bedding and master bathroom was my favorite! Can’t wait to go back!!
What a wonderful comfortable cabin. I could have moved in permanently. Close to fun activities. Great local grocery and would have loved checking out a few of the gift shops.
Relaxing and prompt response from staff.
Nice cozy cabin. Great view. Only issue we had the whole time was that the grill didn’t work.
We had a nice stay at this house. It is situated in a beautiful and quiet spot in the mountains.
This place was a great place to stay while getting away from it all. The beds are comfortable, the sheets were nice, and the hiking in the area was amazing. We accidentally locked ourselves out on the upstairs deck. I texted Second Home rentals and they were out in 15 minutes to rescue us! Everything was as described or better with the exception of wireless internet. There is no internet. We didn’t mind as we were outside enjoying the area. Not over crowded like Breckinridge or some of the other more popular mountain areas. We will be back!
Beautiful surroundings and luxurious chalet. Only downside was checking. We got an email beforehand stating that there would only be one extra roll of toilet paper and one extra towel per person, and we rented for a whole week. This did not let us feel very welcome. But we actually had multiple towels and TP. Also the rental company sent us by email an agreement that they stated we had to sign electronically in 2 places and initial in 14 places before we would be given directions and access to the rental. I called very upset. I was told just to ignore it. We already had the directions and access code! I think the rental company was yo blame for all of this.
Great!
A group of 4 of us selected this property for a working women's get away weekend. As you might imagine that became very difficult when it came to the unit NOT providing the advertised WiFi in their listing. The greatest surprise came when we arrived, and we learned we had to turn the water on for the entire building! This was listed NO place in the property listing! Being the strong independent professional women that we are, we accomplished this - however had we been 30 years older, we would have turned around and exited the property. If we were using a friend's cabin for the weekend for free or at a grossly reduced rate turning on the water or hot water heater is a given; however, when paying a listing rent through VRBO AND the property is managed by a property management firm, this was unacceptable for our group. Be sure to pack some ice cube trays or grab a bag of ice if you enjoy ice as the freezer works but has no ice trays. The property manager was quick to arrange for a plow to plow the large driveway area during a heavy late spring snowstorm and communicated ahead of the storm what to anticipate and how to be prepared. As regular high-country visitors this was appreciated. I am still cloudy on the garbage situation if we were staying more than 4 nights and extra sheets to fit the pull outs beds was a little bit of a treasure hunt. For an A Frame this is a very roomy and friendly environment - had it not been for an incorrect listing when it comes to WiFi and turning on your own water we would all likely return with our families - however today, the one must have for our group was working WiFi.
Home was just as represented in the description. Well equipped, clean, plenty of room for our family of 4. No wifi, but great cell signal. In the trees, so feels secluded. Three decks for soaking in the amazing mountain air. Plenty of nearby hiking, which is our favorite activity.
Beautiful property. Very roomy. There is a full kitchen with a toaster & blender. Love that it has a washer & dryer. The whole place is comfortable. We loved that there were blankets on the the comfy couch. Everything worked well including the barbecue. The tv had a DVD player in it. The only problem I had, since I am 5' 2 was the master bed was very tall. We just went and bought a step stool, which we took for home. The bed was extremely comfortable. The place is well insulated so it did not get too hot.
The cabin is beautiful, professionally decorated and nicely stocked. Since we were unsure exactly what would be included, we packed most of the items we needed/used (paper plates/cups, plastic ware, etc.). Thanks to the location of the cabin, we fished at Montgomery and Jefferson and Tarryall is nearby. The cabin also offers fishing at a private pond nearby. The cabin has everything you would want for glamping (e.g. appliances - including a washer/dryer, gas grill, nice bathrooms with lots of towels, tvs, and comfortable seating both downstairs and upstairs). The ONLY thing I would suggest to future renters is to take is a stool (for children or shorter adults) since the cabin has raised toilets and deep sinks making it difficult to reach for some. Also the washer can only use HD detergent. I would highly recommend this rental and it is even more economical if you have a larger group.
Wonderful clean spacious beautiful Mountain getaway. Will definitely come again!!
Thank you for your hospitality, We really enjoy our stay, the chalet is very clean and cozy, host was nice and friendly, I can't wait to came back.
Our stay was fantastic! The cabin was clean and well furnished. We definitely enjoyed our stay and have no complaints about it!
This is our second year staying at Moose Creek Chalet...two weeks each year. Great altitude with cool mornings and abundance of critter life! All you will need is included in the spacious A-Frame cabin, for a wonderful mountain experience! Easy access to the main road and to the local town of Fairplay, Colorado. We will definitely return to this place again, when in the area!
