ABOUT THE HOUSE

From the expansive great room to the wraparound deck, you and your guests have plenty of room to gather together or find a quiet haven for solo time.

A river rock wood-burning fireplace, wrought iron chandelier, cozy couch, and several armchairs make the living room the perfect space for pre-dinner hors doeuvres or curling up with a good book. Vaulted ceilings soar, and large windows bring in natural light and frame mountain views. A screened porch serves as a breezy second living room.

Cook in the classic kitchen, detailed with hardwood floors, a double sink, and a spacious breakfast bar with six stools. Special meals deserve the window-lined dining room, where a table seats 14 beneath a rustic chandelier. A wet bar off the kitchen will inspire your best cocktails and fresh lemonade. The bathroom on this floor has a shower/tub combination and a spacious mirrored vanity.

Peaceful, ultra-cozy bedrooms feature lots of pillows and crisp linens. On the main floor, the master bedroom features a king bed and en-suite bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The second bedroom has a king bed on an ornate metal frame, exposed beams, access to the back deck, and a 50” TV.

Upstairs, the third bedroom has a king bed, seating nook, and a 40” TV, while the fourth room is furnished with a queen bed plus a log-frame twin-over-twin bunk bed. The bathroom on this floor boasts a double vanity and a shower.

The loft has four queen beds and two additional twin trundles. This spectacular space has vaulted ceilings, a central seating area ideal for an evening card game, and a 50” flat-screen TV. Feel the breeze and see the sights on your private balcony; enjoy the comfort of an en-suite bath with a stone-floor rain shower.

Explore the meadows, on-site pond, or relax by the river. Serve lunch on the huge wraparound deck, where theres a dining table, additional seating, and unforgettable Colorado vistas. The fire pit beckons you to gather around for campfire songs and starlit conversation.

Needs updates
We really enjoyed our time, being out in the country, the views, and the peace and quiet of the property. The concerns we had were the gas smell in the loft/bunk room above the garage, ants in the kitchen constantly on the counters, and a handful of things that just felt like they needed some updates and TLC to the property overall. Cell service was extremely limited, wifi worked most of the time, never could figure out the cable but luckily we brought our own Apple TV with us so we had a way to watch movies. Being next to the river was great!

Great week in a wonderful house.
Our week was wonderful at Elk River Enclave. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked, the beds are so comfy, the living room has a great amount of seating for large gatherings. The view is pretty outside from the porch. The firepit is was nicely stocked with wood. The river access could use a bit more care, mow the grass down more right before guests arrive. The trash dumpster was the only major issue we had, it was full upon arrival, so our trash had to accumulate in the garage that we didn't have access to the first 3 days. We would highly recommend Elk River Enclave to others for a larger family and friends week in Colorado!!

One Amazing Cabin!
We stayed at the Elk River Enclave recently for a long weekend family getaway. I found this cabin online (through VRBO) two years ago and had been waiting that long to stay here. Overall, a really wonderful place. First off, your GPS (and their directions) won't get you to the cabin. They will get you to the neighbors place and he will direct you there. You can tell he's done it many times. Strong points- 1) The Great Room. Really fabulous. 2) A well stocked (with pots & pans and all kinds of cooking accessories kitchen. 3) Lots of beautiful bedrooms. 4) The "Annex" (as we called it, large bedroom over the garage) is huge and could sleep many people. It has 8 beds in this room alone. A few areas that need some TLC- 1) The deck. Not regularly maintained and very splintery. It needs a serious sanding (or to be replaced with composite) and sealing. Every other year. 2) The firepit. Badly overgrown vegetation and some broken seating. 3) The grounds. It is "the norm" to have a small area close in to the home mowed down a bit for family activities such as corn hole, badminton, wading pool, etc. That's "the norm" in most mountain properties. Nothing was mowed or trimmed. You want the acreage to be wild, but a little bit of manicuring would have been nice. 4) It is very unusual to not have a BBQ grill available for a rental property of this stature. Bummer. We did not like working with "Turnkey Rentals", the property management company that oversees this property. There are come funky communication things with them, and some "rules" that we did not care for . We probably won't rent one of their listings again. It is a beautiful home, one that our family enjoyed immensely. We created once again some very special family memories at the Elk River Enclave! Neil Carlberg Greeley, CO
