We stayed at the house June 22-29 and we were very pleased with everything. The house itself was absolutely spotless and easily fit my family of 4. The king bed in the master bedroom is probably the most comfortable bed we have ever slept on in any rental we have ever had. Each of our 2 teenage sons had their own room and loved it. We utilized the "game room" downstairs more than I thought we would. We actually did not make use of the kitchen much outside of the coffee maker as we found many great options for food in Fairplay, but it seemed to have all the necessary pots, pans, and utensils.
The pictures of the views online do not do it justice. Pictures just cannot capture what you are seeing with your eyes. The view is simply stunning. We were there for 7 days and it never got old. Each morning the 14ers to the west would have different levels of cloud cover which would completely change the look and feel of the range. Every morning and evening we could see the local elk herd off in the distance grazing by the Platte River. Sometimes after the sun fully went down we could hear their bugle calls echoing up from the valley. We were also lucky enough that the phase of the moon and the clouds cooperated to allow us to have amazing views of the Milky Way on our last night there. We also thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to all the Broad-tailed hummingbirds that are all over the trees surrounding the house.
Some comments have mentioned the dirt access road and driveway. The dirt road is really nothing more than that - a dirt/gravel road. For our experience in the summer, it was nothing crazy or dangerous. No high clearance or 4WD vehicle needed. Same for the driveway. It is definitely steep and is gravel. But again, it's nothing crazy or dangerous if you have an even remotely competent driver and vehicle. We had a Tahoe and I never once had to use 4WD to navigate either to road or driveway. I can see how it could get pretty sketchy in the winter without 4WD, though.
Overall, a great experience and we would definitely stay at this exact house again if we ever find ourselves coming back to Fairplay.
Everything was amazing! Would highly recommend!!
