We had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the house, the views and the calm. We did see a pair of bears one night (from inside the house) and we were careful as instructed and locked our cars. GPS is a bit challenged to find the place - only one of the three we had would take us there. Thanks for sharing your lovely home with us.

Our team of four researchers needed a base camp for working on our next book. This house was very effective for what we needed and desired. It was clean, quiet, spacious, modern, attractive, and allowed us to work and relax. The kitchen was well stocked. The host was as helpful and responsive. This was a good find for us.
We stayed at Sapphire Retreat over Easter. The house was very clean and we were pleasantly surprised to receive a nice bottle of wine when we arrived. The batteries for the auto-lock were dead, so we couldn't get in at first, but Dale was very helpful and had us in the house in no time at all. The beds were very comfortable and we appreciated having a ceiling fan in the master bedroom. The lower level rooms were much cooler, especially due to the lower than normal temperatures for April and we appreciated that there were space heaters available for those rooms to take the chill off. The cold weather also allowed us to utilize the fireplace, which we loved having! There were a few small amenities that we would have liked to have, but it didn't change our overall experience. It looks like there was a coffee maker at one point in the house as we found the manual and several filters, but there wasn't a coffee maker that we could find. There were also no sponges for washing dishes in the sink or any tissues in the house. If you stay here, bring sponges and tissues to have, just in case. The mountain views were spectacular, especially in the morning watching the sun rise over them. We were able to take advantage of using the amenities at the resort (due to a full day of rain) and grateful that we had that option, we really enjoyed the pool and game room.
I’m so thankful we got to stay at this home! The community is so wonderful & we loved a chance to ski, snow tube & go to the recreation center… there are so many beautiful trails with waterfalls nearby… the house was so clean & the views are wonderful!

The house is lovely, well-maintained, and well-stocked with kitchen items!! Views are lovely and fireplace really added “cozy” to the setting. Thanks for sharing. Would not hesitate to return to this home.
