As our first getaway since COVID halted our traveling, I can’t say enough great things about this house or our host. We wanted seclusion, close proximity to Ski Apache and Winter Park, beautiful views, modern living space, and cleanliness. This home exceeded our expectations, and we will cherish the memories of playing with our children in the snowy yard for years. Robin, thank you for your kind and informative messages. We also went to one of the recommended restaurants by you and had a great meal and time. Thank you!

What a wonderful home to come and unwind. Views were fabulous! Did some star gazing. No horses but did see some mule deer on the ride up. Would definitely book again.

We enjoyed our stay. Definitely need 4wd going up ranger road. Nice property. Very quiet and off beaten path. Woke up to wild horses and some lovely blue jays. Property is very nicely done.
