We enjoyed our stay near Fairplay. The house was very adequate for our group of 10. There were a few items that would have made it a more comfortable stay. The huge west facing windows had a beautiful view, but they also let the sun's rays heat up the house. There should have been screens for every window to be able to cool the house at night. The windows were also in need of a good cleaning. The grill did not work, which made dinner plans a lot more expensive.
We loved this home. The spaciousness, the views, the accommodations. It had everything we needed and was comfortable for us all. Will definitely be coming back.
Thank you for sharing your space for our mini family reunion. Your location was perfect! There was plenty of space for everyone and the view is magic!
The house was so nice and had all the amenities and supplies one could need for living in a house. The beds were comfortable and the bedding and pillows were great. We especially loved the big wrap-around deck and mountain view. The house was very clean. Just a couple of drawbacks. 1) VRBO letter did not give the correct wi-fi password so we were frantic trying to get in touch with other family members flying in or expected later. 2) Two different ways to get to the house from HWY 9: However, the way closest to Alma was blocked off with a chain so we had to drive almost all the way to Fairplay to get to the house. No biggie, just a little inconvenient. 3) Though the kitchen was stocked with lots of specialty appliances and plenty of dishes and flatware, etc. could have used a couple ordinary saucepans - 1 small and 1 medium. Loved that there were a multitude of spices on hand in the cupboards and lots of condiments in the fridge. Tons of towels were available. We liked that there was a basket of toys for the 5 year old in our party. It was a perfect place to stay over a long mountain weekend.
This house was the perfect location to get you with family and spend a short time together. There was more than enough space for our family to spread out and enjoy privacy when needed. The game room and outside grounds provided enough entertainment for the youngest members in our group. The kitchen could use some new pots and pans as the ones provided are definitely worn. I understand that wear and tear is always something to consider when renting a home, but I was concerned about being able to cook a proper meal with damaging the cookware more for the next guest. Over all we had agreat stay and are so glad we found this home with such a spectacular view to be with our family.
This house has everything you could possibly need from cooking supplies to outside gear-nothjng was missed here! Location & view is amazing! Great size-loved the living room seating around the fireplace and large farm table! My only hesitation in giving it 5 stars is cleanliness. It was good but a bit rough around the edges! I would still recommend and feel lucky that we had the opportunity to stay here.
The property was wonderful. The house contact was very helpful. The only complaint I have would be that the bed pillows were uncomfortable but that is more a preference. They were like a feather pillow....like I said totally preference.
The pictures online are accurate regarding layout and basic structures, but the property has a lot more wear and tear than what is reflected in the photos. Like prior travelers, I did not find the house to be very clean or inviting. Lots of grime/dust that has accumulated over the years, and the property is dated and sparsely decorated. There was a battery out on the smoke detector, and it beeped loudly my entire stay. Its location on the vaulted ceiling meant that I couldn't change it. I also did not feel very safe - there are no deadbolts on the main entry doors, and the master bedroom is on the ground level with a large window right next to the bed. The house is right next to the road, and someone driving by at night can easily see into the house via the large windows. Another major problem was that the large great room windows mean that the main floor gets very, very hot - even when it is cool outside. The sun glare was so intense I could not work on my laptop on the main floor from 3pm - 6pm (October). After 2 days, I just wasn't enjoying my stay and left with 2 nights remaining on my reservation. I informed the property manager and Evolve of my departure and the concerns I had about the property. A week later, I get a notification that the owner was assessing a pet fee for having my dog with me (it's pet friendly). That just seemed in poor taste and rude, given that I had to depart the property earlier than planned because it was unsatisfactory (and no refund for either my cleaning fee or unused days). I've stayed at much better rental homes in the area for a similar price point - guests can do better.
I want to preface this review by saying that we had a very nice, relaxing time on our trip. The cabin was very nice. Unfortunately there were a few issues that we just couldn't over look. First, it is the middle of summer and this cabin faces the setting sun. Those amazing windows shown in the pics give amazing views, but also heat up the great room drastically. The best way to cool down the room is to open up the two sliding glass doors, the only problem with doing so, is that it allows dozens of moths into the cabin. One night we counted 29 moths inside, and moth carcasses all over the floor. Of course this could have been avoided had the owners installed screens on the doors. Not that it would have eliminated them completely, but would have helped immensely. The second issue was discovered the morning after we arrived when we went to use some of the dishes. Almost every glass, plate or utensil we grabbed was covered in a white layer of soap scum. When we looked in the dish washer it too had a thick coating of soap scum. This has clearly been an issue for quite some time but for some reason had not been addressed. From there we discovered numerous other things, like used toothpick flossers and dead moths in the tooth brush holders in the bathrooms, clumps of hair in the shower drains, soap caked on one of the soap dispensers, a thick layer of dust on the landing wood and ash from the fireplace on the hearth. It was clear that the cleaning crew did nothing more than change out the linens and wipe down the counters. Considering we are in the middle of COVID-19 and Evolve touts increased cleaning standards, the issues we found are more than a little concerning. We have contacted Evolve and asked to be reimbursed for our cleaning fee but have yet to hear back. Lastly, if you prefer decent pillows I would highly recommend you bring you own, as the pillows at this cabin are likely the cheapest synthetic filling possible.
Our stay in the cabin was excellent! The cabin was very spacious and had plenty of room for a large family or a couple of small families. The amenities were delightful and location was great as it was as remote as can be despite being near sparsely populated areas. We had total privacy and had breath taking views of snow capped mountains in the distance. Our teenaged children had fun playing the foosball table. The furnishings were comfortable and the scented candles added a pleasant mountain scent.
