The entire property was great. The house had plenty of room for everyone with a loft for our family with small children and plenty of room for everyone to stretch out. The house was well stocked with pots & pans as well as place settings so we were able to have a great family Thanksgiving with just 1 trip to the grocery. Will stay again an absolute magical property.
We loved the location. The house was immaculate and checking in and out was a piece of cake.
This was a perfect place to stay for our vacation. It felt like home and had plenty of space for all of us. We would absolutely stay here again!
My husband and I worked from “home” for part of our stay while our kids (6 & 8) played and ventured out with grandparents. We enjoyed being able to spread out in the house and thought it was a great location for some seclusion and quiet while still being close enough to Buena Vista and Breckinridge to go adventuring. We REALLY appreciated that the house was well stocked. They provided enough TP to actually cover the number of people in our party for the days booked, had pet bowls, toys, and a kennel and had cleaning supplies so that we could keep up with any small spills or messes. We also saw a black bear, antelope, coyotes and a badger which is something we all enjoy.
We had an excellent stay. The house had everything we needed and was so much space. We had two kids with us and they loved the game room. We would definitely stay again!
This house was incredible! Gorgeous views, the best deck ever with fire pit, and plenty of room for the entire family! Kept very clean and also very well stocked with tons of spices and cookware/dishes. Absolutely loved it here, and we will definitely be back!
Home very well stocked, in fact the best I've ever seen or rented. Owner/management response very quickly. Very peaceful and serene location. Family and I loved it.
This VRBO provided clean mountain water, every kitchen and household essential, games, and comfort to sleep well after playing hard or relaxing. What a treat to make this our home for a short time and make some big, treasured memories.
We loved our stay! The property is professionally managed. Super clean, nicely appointed, well-stocked kitchen. We spent one day skiing Copper Mountain and the rest of our time at the cabin. The view is spectacular. Downtown FairPlay was cute and had everything we needed.
What a fantastic cabin! Spacious, clean and very nicely decorated with an awesome fireplace that we used lots. We are fortunate enough to live in Colorado and hope to be back many more times to come!
Excellent stay! The property was beautiful and clean (with the exception of bugs in the Keurig), it had everything we could have needed and more. Management property was very responsive to questions via text. It was a perfect stay for us and exactly what we had hoped for. Thanks for a wonderful getaway!
Loved the property. Nicely stocked kitchen, nice decor. Beautiful sunrises. We will return!
We enjoyed this home immensely. It’s beautiful, well appointed, spacious, and offers the most calming and relaxing views ever. Warm beds, hot coffee and hot showers made everything pretty perfect. AND the water tastes good! All that said, we could have used an umbrella for the outside table, maybe an extra trash can in the laundry room and a note to not sit in the metal chairs on the front porch ( collapsed on me.) I mean, they’re really cute and all but being dumped to the deck is not fun. Please consider placing some sort of “ do not sit here” sign on them. Even with that we had a great week, hiking, relaxing, exploring FairPlay /South Park and were close enough to take a beautiful drive to go have fun on the Alpine slides at Winter Park!
We loved this house. Almost too big for our family. Great view. House had everything we needed. Location is close to FairPlay to go into town.
The idyllic setting of this property was of storybook quality. The entire chalet was pure perfection. From walking through the door you are immersed in the rustic beauty and charm that is the Rockies and Colorado. Every room was exquisitely laid out down to the tiniest detail. We felt enveloped in a nurturing warmth, allowing us to totally relax while reconnecting as a family. Our stay was truly magical and we feel blessed for having had this experience. We thank you.
More than everything we needed to be comfortable! The cabin has an amazing view and all amenities plus some! Everything we paid for and more!
