I knew the property would be pretty based on the pictures but it was so much better in person. The property had almost everything we needed and Margaret was helpful with the very few things I needed help with. Would definitely stay there again!

Perfect for Our Purpose
This location was perfect for us. Near our son’s home outside Longmont. The setting was wonderful quiet and beautiful. The hosts respected our privacy but were there when we had questions. The unit itself was great. Very comfortable and well maintained. The kitchen is small but we managed to cook three dinners and holiday cookies there. We’d stay again while visiting with our son.

DO NOT miss staying at this property !!! Margaret and Ron are wonderful, better than family. We were in Colorado for our 35 wedding anniversary and to visit family in the area. Oh and of course do lots of hiking in the mountains. The unit they provided was above and beyond our expectations ! I don't write reviews but I can't say enough about how nice our hosts were as well as the amazing comfort they provided us.

A Little Piece of Heaven in Colorado
These amazing, kind and caring humans allowed us to experience a part of their every day and it was beautiful. Margaret and Ron were so accommodating to our changing family party and we are so thankful. Never once did we have to worry about anything. We spent our time enjoying our first grandchild’s wedding. Thank you both for everything. We are already talking about our return trip to just do nothing but take it all in.

A beautiful, peaceful getaway!
Margaret and Ron are the perfect hosts. Their property is absolutely tranquil and so much space to spread out and explore. We only wish we could have stayed longer. The upstairs apt feels nothing like an apt. It became our home for 3 days with plenty of room to settle in and be at peace. We will be back. 😊

Peaceful Area of Thought
What a beautiful quiet space to think and relax. My husband and I were visiting friends, taking time to ourselves & catching up on a little work. This was the perfect space. We enjoyed coffee on the deck overlooking the Lake and walks around the property and on the deck to the lake. Close to town, yet out of the craziness of traffic. There was plenty of room to spread out at the dining table to catch up on a few hours of work. Then back to the deck as the sun went down. We will definitely return and tell others about this little sanctuary of peace!

Home Away From Home
This truly is a GEM! We stayed here in between moving into our new home, and it truly was a home away from home. Everything was thought of; we were able to both work fully from home, and were comfortable the entire stay. Every day, I enjoyed a walk around the dirt roads here and saw many bald eagles and flocks of geese landing on the lake! It was paradise. Margaret and Ron left us feeling like we were family as well. We will definitely keep them in mind for family coming into town, and know that we have made fast friends here in Colorado. I 10000% recommend this VRBO as a place to stay while visiting! It's also centralized to so much, with an hour drive to the airport, and hour drive to RMNP, and so many hiking paths and good food to eat. If you need a place to stay during your stay near Boulder/Longmont, this is the best choice!

Peaceful and comfortable
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Margaret and Ron's place. The guest apartment is spacious, bright, and thoughtfully furnished. The king bed is one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. (Can't comment on the queen bed, but I imagine it's good too.) The kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare simple meals. Ron and Margaret are warm and generous hosts, while still allowing their guests plenty of privacy. We enjoyed walking around the property, taking in Ron's sculpture, and kayaking on the lake. We were both working some of the time, so we appreciated that each bedroom had a functional desk and the wifi was good. The balcony is the perfect spot for morning coffee with a view of the trees (plus birds). All in all, a wonderful spot, and we look forward to coming back!
