Nice house with large yard!
Our family of 4 had a great stay at this property! We stayed for spring break to ski at Wolf Creek. The house was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed the hot tub after a day of skiing. There is a large backyard with a covered porch. I think it would be fun to come back in the summer and be able to enjoy more of the outdoor space.

Nice house
The house is the perfect size, however it was not very clean. The dishwasher had dirty dishes and it needed to be vacuumed. There was gravel from the driveway on the floors. Also, being from the south, there was no ac so it was kinda stuffy at night in the bedroom. Other than that, it needs some upkeep outside the yard was overgrown and cobwebs on the front and back porches that needed to be swept down. Good location just very far from anything. Overall okay place to stay.

Great space in South Fork, CO
The private hot tub for star gazing (very little light polution, lots of shooting star sightings!) was what helped us to decide to book this space, but it was not the only thing we liked about the property. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked and well laid out. The mattress was comfortable. The fireplace was cozy and easy to operate. We only had two people on this trip, but the layout would have been ample for our whole family with great fenced in spaces for the dogs, too. All the details needed to make an unfamiliar place convenient were included in the communications left in the home (or were communicated in a timely manner by text/email). The place was clean and tidy. We enjoyed our time there. Would love to vacation there again. Highly recommend.

Shady Grove Getaway
Most everything was completely appropriate, and as it should be. Upon check in everything seems to be clean and well cared for. There were two things that need attention. The fireplace was not connected to the thermostat, as was suggested by the labels, and during the High-winds at night, the fireplace made some quite loud clanking sounds. The outdoor hot tub had some questionable amount of dirt in the bottom, and was not used or utilized due to this fact. Aside from these two things that could obviously easily be remedied, we truly enjoyed our time and stay at this property, and would return again.

Comfortable home in country setting!
For a family of 5 adults, we had plenty of room with a family room & a living room. The home does sit in a country setting about 16 miles from Delnorte & an easy drive. The fireplace was wonderfully warm; the TV had great stations; games & puzzles were a welcome addition. Oh and the hot tub was the best! There is ample room in this home and the kitchen is well stocked! The beds are comfortable and I would highly recommend this home!

Room to spread out and relax.
The beds were all comfortable. There was plenty of room for our group of six. The fenced yard was really a plus for our two dogs and the hot tub was a treat for us humans..The Shady Grove location was a great hub for day trips in all directions. This was our second straight stay here and would definitely recommend it to a friend.

A great gateway! Everything you need.
My family of four and our two dogs really enjoyed the property. Very relaxing. It has everything you could possibly need. We grilled our first night, enjoyed the neighborhood walks in the evening, and the hot tub. Enjoyed the Bluetooth speakers my family loves music, so big plus. The puzzles were also enjoyed by one of our daughters. My husband and I watched movies and the space was spacious for a nice work out. I think we took advantage of all the amenities! We would go back again.
