Amazing house for our extended family vacation
We had 11 of us for a week and had a wonderful stay. House is amazing and as advertised. All we needed to cook, est and relax. Close to town and family fun. Hosts were easy to work with and very helpful. Highly recommended.

USAFA Graduation Stay
Overall, our stay was awesome! The location of the home is one of the best features for getting to graduation events without traffic. The home nicely accommodates large families. The beds were comfortable. Although the types of beds didn’t match our adult children, there was plenty of space in the bedrooms to put air mattresses that we purchased. We appreciated the number of towels, extra pillows, and blankets for this reason. The large gathering areas were perfect for relaxing as a family. There is plenty of seating for meals and in the family rooms. The outdoor furniture was comfortable. We had many evenings around the gas fire on the back patio. We were able to grill and cook in a few days and found everything we needed. If you have young children, there is plenty of fun things to keep them busy: swings, rope swing, jungle gym, toys, and games. We enjoyed playing corn hole. There is a fire pit with wood provided if the weather conditions allow. David and Margo were easy to communicate with when we needed questions answered. I would highly recommend this home to create those special family memories.
