Perfect get away spot

The house worked well for a group of friends celebrating birthdays. The access to hiking was easy and so close. The pool table really is only for kids tho

Great location and views

A lovely property near Horsetooth resevoir. Great views out the front window and on the porch. Deer walked along the backside of the property while we were there. If you struggle with stairs, you might find the steep driveway and split level style a lot to manage, but if you can swing it, it's walkable to trails and the reservoir proper!

Beautiful area!

We stayed here as a family getaway with our parents. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that there was only 1 bathroom upstairs, the other is downstairs in this split-level home. Our parents all shared the upstairs bathroom while we used the one in the basement. Would have been nice if we were allowed to use the fireplaces during our cold January stay. The baseboard heat did fine, but the fireplace would have made for perfect ambiance. Loved the Tavern down the road! Live music & super friendly staff & patrons!!

Hiking and Biking

This is located right across the street from world class trails in Soderberg open space. Hike to Horsetooth rock, rent a pontoon boat on the lake or simply relax on the front deck watching the deer in the mornings and evenings! Great place to spend a few days.

Super Peaceful location for lots of biking and hiking

Was amazing to walk out the front door and go for a hike or bike. Location is super peaceful and quiet. Not the most decked-out rental, but is definitely good enough for a weekend getaway. Have to say ... A bit uncomfortable beds.

Great space!!

We came in for my daughter's graduation from CSU Vet School. Grandma & an aunt, my husband & myself, our 32 yr old son & his wife (6). Upon entry, whole house was spotless. We cooked, we baked, we hiked, we gamed... 2 spacious bathrooms, a well stocked kitchen, beautiful deck, comfy beds. Even though it rained from Wed - Saturday, we had a lovely time and celebrated a wonderful event.

Mountain getaway

Each morning we were greeted by the mule deer heard outside with the mountain as the backdrop. Outside the only thing you could hear was the animals and an very occasional car. The next door neighbors were great, the power had gone out for a short while during a storm and they were kind enough to bring us candles and make sure we were ok. What a great place for serenity and peacefulness

Most beautiful view!

This property was perfect for our family and had the most amazing views! My daughter attends CSU and the whole family flew in to visit for family weekend. We normally stay closer to campus but opted for a different experience this time and were so pleased that we did. I loved everything about this house. It was perfectly appointed, clean, and spacious. The views were amazing! We were greeted by multiple families of deer daily. The property manager was very responsive with questions. I would highly recommend renting this property. Thank you!!

Pictures don't do it justice

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property (Property ID 2034035). The home was clean and had everything we needed which was great but the location was out of this world. The pictures show a nice hill across the street and state it is located near the reservoir. All true but totally underselling the location. We were a short walk to an amazing series of hiking trails that wound over 1000 ft in elevation in beautiful country with breath taking views. We were also a short walk to a beach access to the reservoir and a couple minute drive to the marina and boat ramp. The home is on a road with virtually no traffic and the neighborhood is silent after dark. The reservoir is a 7 mile, 165 ft deep paradise. We chartered a boat with Capt. Rob (amazing) complete with water slide and grill and rented paddleboards to enjoy the water more. Last, we were about an hour to Rocky Mountain National Park and the drive there winds through Roosevelt State Park. It was magnificent. We traveled with my two kids, 9 and 12, and my parents who are in their 70's and all had something to do. I will definitely be back!
