Woodland Park, Colorado
Beautiful wooded property with decks on 3 sides of the house. Incredible kitchen with a counter with stools and extra extra large family room with 65 inch TV. This property boasts ponderosa and blue spruce pines and many aspen. It even has a dog run in the rear of the property . There is a wood stove in the basement with the 3 bedrooms. The bedrooms are very good sized and the home has gorgeous tongue and groove ceilings adding to the cabin feel. Wood floor, carpet and tile.

It is a lovely property. If you are looking for a party house this is it. It has obviously been used for parties by the smell of beer cigarettes and other unknown odors. If you don't mind old & thread bare linens and 10 year old towels you will love it. In addition, be prepared to clean and disinfect before you sit down & for sure don't lay on the beds. If you are allergic to pets you should reconsider because there is dog hair everywhere including the bed upstairs. We paid for 2 nights but only stayed the first night and ended up at the Wyndham down the road because I could not breath. I am not a snob and have stayed at some funky places around the world but nothing like this.
When you check in, you don’t expect to have to clean the toilets and vacuum immediately on arrival. On top of being hit in the face with the overwhelming stench of pet urine. There were dishes left in the dishwasher, dirty bedding in a garbage bag in the closet, the only thing that was (hopefully) cleaned, was the bedding. The showers were even dirty. There was garbage scattered around the front yard. There were 2 mattresses sitting sideways in the downstairs family room. Contacted the host complete with pictures, and was told she could only reimburse the cleaning fee?! I’m sorry, but I didn’t go on vacation to clean someone else’s mess. We didn’t even stay at the house very much because of the smell. There was no air conditioning, and a sign not to open windows. Also a note to take 5 minute showers to conserve water!
I think a big thing the owner needs to realize is that rental properties are becoming more and more undesirable compared to hotels. This house is a good example why. It lacked many features that a standard hotel will have, e.g. hot running water, clean sheets, comfortable climate temperature, and no controlling/ threatening notes throughout the place. My boyfriend and I stayed here for NYE. Check in was quick and easy. However, the temperature was 50 degrees when we walked in and it was hard to locate the thermostat. We couldn’t take our coats off for a solid couple of hours because it was so cold. The rules are to have the thermostat at 50 after leaving, but we felt arriving upon a cold house was an unwelcome start. No soap in any of the bathrooms except one used bar of soap with pubes on it. There is a nice bathtub on the upstairs level that we were excited to take a nice relaxing bath in. However, upon filling up the bathtub not even 1/4 of the way full, it was ice cold. So we boiled our own water in the kitchen to try to heat up the bathtub. I cannot imagine how many cold showers guests would take with more than 2 people in the house.. the controlling notes throughout the house indicated to us that the owner doesn’t want to make upgrades, rather have the people abide by the subpar standards of the house. The basement has a note on the window threatening to charge guests if they were to open the window that’s apparently broken. There are notes saying showers can only last five minutes… (obviously avoiding the weird water heater situation and putting the blame on the renter) And the owner says there is a $500 fee if we lose the house key. Does she not have a copy of the key? Why would it be so expensive if we lose a metal key? Because of the frugality of the owner, it appears that she’s taking advantage of anything you possibly do that might cost her a couple bucks extra for your stay. I am allergic to dogs, and I could not stop sneezing and could barely breathe all night. And I broke out in hives because of the bedsheets. Leaving me with the impression that they were not properly cleaned. The advice I would give is to spend a little bit of money fixing the problems throughout the house, and don’t charge renters for naturally using broken features throughout the house. Notes are not the solution, fixing the amenities are.
Nearly died of smoke inhalation and no heat or power. Had to buy an extension cord for a heater and run it to another area with a better breaker. We were limited on showers and no way to check water level. The owner said to start the wood stove for heat. It was plugged so smoke all over the house. Cooking range smelled like cat urine when we started it for our Christmas dinner. All the owner kept saying she was sorry and never offered a refund even when we asked her several time
Very spacious. Loved the location. Great communication by the owner.
The house itself was nice. The communication was decent. The grass was knee height and dog poop all over the yard so the yard was not usable. There was dog hair all over the floor when we checked in. The house has a fixed amount of water and depending on how much water is in the tank is how much water you can use. The owner recommends five minute showers. The washer was not usable. Priced way to high for the amenities we were offered.
We really enjoyed the mountains. Seen a bear walk by the property. See a lot of deer all over the property. Place was not as advertised, but it was doable. The property was rough and was in a cul-de-sac. Corral drive was really washed out. Not everything worked in the house. The food thing was it was centrally located around a lot of things to do and shopping as needed.
Wonderful large space for a family getaway. The great room was just what we needed for our family. The kitchen was well supplied for our needs
This vacation exceeded our expectations. Beautiful large and cozy house. We had Christmas here with our extended family and we had lots of room and it was absolutely one of the better vacation homes we have stayed at. Nice cozy wooded area, lots of deer, no issues at all. Robyn responded quickly to any questions we had. Any reviews about smells just so you know if booking, well water /cistern water will smell slightly like sulfur especially when doing laundry so this is NORMAL. We live in the mountains off well so this is normal. Love love love this property.
We had a wonderful stay, and the host Robyn was very nice. Her communication with us from the first day was pleasant and helpful. We enjoyed are accommodations as there was plenty of room for the 10 of us. BBQing on the large grill on the deck was very convenient. Our 2 Dogs enjoyed roaming the pet area and basking in the sunlight through the windows on there beds in the large living area. This is a enjoyable space for any large family gathering. Watching the Aspen trees turn colors was a beautiful sight to behold. Would recommend this spacious place to all. Thanks Robyn and Rebbecca for a great experience.
