Great place to stay
Property was as advertised. Close to everything we were planning to go (Ski Apache & Winter Park).
Location was great and the cabin was fun. Kids loved the pool table and the warm fireplace. Would stay there again. Only issues were the temperatures in the lower half (master bed/bathroom) that got pretty cold at night - could have used some extra heat/blankets. Also the master bathroom shower was pretty loose and low - I am 6' tall and had to duck to get under the water. All in all a fun trip and good accommodations.
Overall, my family had a blast. Kids were kept busy with the hot tub and pool table. Definitely planning another stay here!
This property was exactly as it looked on-line. Beautiful home with lots of stairs. If you're unable to climb stairs this is not the home for you. But if you're looking for comfort and fun you definitely will enjoy the Grand Elk. The kitchen had everything we needed plus. The beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean and nice towels. Will stay again! Thanks to the owners and the cleaning staff.
The home was just as pictured. It was very clean and well stocked. The property manager left us a small gift upon arrival even with something for our pets. The communication was very easy. We had a great time. We would definitely book the Gelk again. It was very spacious for our family of 7.
We had the best time last week staying in this home! It was the perfect location for us. My children (ages nine through 16) loved the pool table and hot tub! The house was very comfortable and functional. We would recommend it to others and stay there again.
Home was very spacious and clean. My son loved the pool table. We weren’t able to use the hot tub because of schedule. Maybe next time I book we will take advantage of the hot tub.
The cabin was a wonderful place for us to stay we all enjoyed our stay and we were not even too bummed out about staying inside during the rainy days. We had problems with the AC when we first arrived however, it was taken care of immediately with no troubles. Also the property manager was very nice and stayed in touch with us until the Air was fixed.
The House was lovely, and everything was perfect but with our ages being in the 70's the stairs were a challenge, but we managed just fine, and it was so quiet and relaxing. Thanks so much for sharing your home :)
This is a very nice place. We used it for a small family reunion
The house was perfect kids played pool for hours while we soaked in the hot tub
This home was perfect for my family of 8 and 2 dogs. We honestly never left the home the entire stay. The pool table and hot tub was a hit. Definitely recommend this property.
Great set up and great location. Close enough to local attractions while allowing you a quiet peaceful stay. The pool table and hot tub allowed for fun and relaxation in the evenings. Definitely will be visiting here again.
Location was great, house does need to be updated. It is a little outdated. We did enjoy our time and will be back.
Perfect cabin
Really enjoyed our stay here. Nice big tv in the living room. Very spacious master bedroom. Lots of windows to enjoy the trees. Hot tub was wonderful. My wife enjoyed the pool table even though she lost every time!? Great location - just far enough out of town to be quiet, but close enough to be near everything. Only 10 minutes to downtown and some great restaurants.
Before going to the cabin I received a call saying that the water was broken, hummingbird cabins placed me in an equivalent place with no extra charges and made sure we had everything we needed. Extremely clean place great washer and dryer. Quiet and lots of nature to watch!
Loved the cabin - pool table was a hit.
The house is large, very clean and the kitchen is fully stocked. Bathrooms had plenty of towels! My parents came who are close to 80 and we didn’t realize the amount of stairs in the house which were hard for them. I would rent the house again if my parents were not with us. The pool table was a plus and the den was really nice.
