    The house is amazing. Our stay was very enjoyable. Ashli was quick to respond when I had concerns or questions.However, as much as we enjoyed our stay, there are a couple of things that need to be mentioned. The furniture in the living room needs to be updated. The sofa and the big round chair is worn out and very uncomfortable. The portable A/C units need to be replaced with something that cools. The den/playroom/bedroom need something other than an oscillating fan. It was pretty stuffy most of the time in the den. We did open windows and the sliding glass door in the dining room which helped after the sun went down. Dealing with the elderly that are hard of hearing, it was very difficult for us to have a conversation because of the noise the portable A/C and oscillating made. I do not want the negative to shadow the positive of our stay. We really enjoyed our stay and will probably return. Martha Smith

    Manager's Response:

    We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. We are always looking to improve and hope that we can update the furniture in the future. Fortunately, it isn't always as hot as it was during your stay. Generally, opening the windows at night is all that is needed for cooling. We provided the AC window units and fans as additional help for those exceptionally hot days. We are sorry that they made conversations more difficult.
    We do hope you'll visit us again.

    Four days of relaxing and exploring local attractions like hiking, Mesa Verde and the local eateries. Great trip.

    Overall our experience was good, we ran into some issues when we first arrived but the owners were quick to respond and remedy the issue, which was very appreciated.

    The house was as described and we enjoyed using the pool table in the basement as a family.

    The only thing we would change is the dampness in the basement.
