What a well established home! This is an excellent house (especially if you have children)! The yard was huge and the access to axe throwing (plastic) and horseshoes was such a bonus. Kids had their own level filled with books and toys. If we get to enjoy the town of Westcliffe again, we hope this home will be available. Thanks for sharing.
Also, we should probably try another eatery besides Chappy's. We had such a great experience the first time we went back the next day. Highly recommend it!

Property was as advertised, well maintained with a good variety of kitchen items. The children loved their own space upstairs with a nice variety of toys and books. There was also a large variety of games appropriate for the whole family as well as videos/DVDs. Communication with the owner was exceptional-quick and complete!
