This home is perfect for large families or groups and is large enough that any size group will have plenty of room! Kids love the open main floor where they can run in circles through all the rooms.
Walk in through the front door and find yourself in a beautiful tiled, 2 story foyer. Down one small step to the left is a large Living Room set up for sitting / relaxing with a sleeper sofa and adjacent to a beautiful Dining Room that will seat 8. Down a small step from the foyer to the right is the family room with cozy fireplace and a powder room.
Walk through the family room or the dining room and find yourself in a beautiful, fully stocked gourmet kitchen with large island, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a little welcome gift. The kitchen is supplied with coffee, cream, sugar, spices, oils, condiments, and various food items in the fridge and pantry, only things you'll really need to bring are perishable foods and ingredients for cooking!
Separate eating area in the kitchen with a bay window opens to the backyard where you will enjoy the cool crisp Colorado evenings sitting by the fire pit and making smores. Smores supplies are included!
Full size laundry room is also on the main level with detergent/softeners if you need to do a quick load of laundry. Large 2 car garage is available for use to keep your vehicle warm and dry.
You will find an assortment of adult games on the built-in shelves in the family room, or you can play some of the kid-friendly games that are on the built-in shelves in the kids bedroom upstairs.
Upstairs from the entry foyer you will walk through french doors to access the Master Retreat. This room comes complete with new king bed, cedar floored closet, JACUZZI tub, two sinks, toilet room, and separate shower. The gem of the retreat however is the separate sitting area where you can relax / recline and read a book.
Two more well appointed bedrooms with brand new queen beds and a kids bedroom with brand new day bed and trundle bed and some toys are on this level along with another bathroom with separate tub/toilet room from the vanities.
All bathrooms come fully stocked with soap, shampoo, body wash, lotion, makeup remover wipes, and if you forgot your toiletries, we have provided some disposable razors, floss picks, q-tips, and toothbrushes with toothpaste.
Walk downstairs from the foyer into a fun basement that includes another "mini-master" with brand new queen bed and shared en-suite bathroom.
The basement features several wonderful areas: a home theater, a gym space, and another cozy fireplace with sitting area to enjoy a book or your coffee. The gym space is equipped with low-impact equipment: a bike, trampoline, some dumb-bells, and some elastic bands for resistance workouts.
There is also a min-fridge and microwave with popcorn supplied for you movie night!

3. Only registered guests are permitted within the home at any time. No visitors or guests without prior consent. Notify host for approval prior to check-in.
4. No pets or smoking permitted in the house at any time. If smoking occurs indoors or if guest brings a pet, a fee of $300 will be levied for the additional cleaning required. 5. If you accidentally break or damage something please notify us immediately. If something is broken or damaged and not reported you will be responsible for the cost to fix or replace the damaged or broken item.
6. Guests are permitted to park in the garage, but are required to use the interior wall control to open and close the door. No boats, trailers, or RV's may be parked on or near the property.
7. There is a washer/dryer on site for personal use. Detergent and fabric softener are provided at no additional charge for guests.
8. The kitchen is fully equipped for daily use. Guests are asked to clean up after themselves and to put dishes back once they have been cleaned. The standard cleaning fee is for normal daily use of the home, linen and bed service, etc. An additional cleaning fee of $150 will be applied if the home is left excessively unkept or dirty (unwashed dishes, stained carpet, muddy floors, moved furniture, etc.)
9. No events or parties are permitted in or around this property. Only registered guests are permitted to enter the property. If you have family or friends in town, exceptions can be made with advance notice.
10. We have recently experienced a high number of guests removing towels from the home (they are great towels). One bath towel, hand towel, and wash cloth is provided per guest. (2 per bedroom). If towels are removed from the home the following fees will be charged to the guest: Bath Towel: $25, Hand Towel: $15, Wash Cloth: $7.50.
11. Checkout time is 10 am on the day of your departure. There is a 20 minute grace period. Guests will be charged $20 for every 15 minutes after 10 am. Checkout after 12 pm (noon) will result in a full day rental charge (not less than $200) and a late-checkout fee of $100. It is imperative that guests adhere to this rule because this property is usually booked back to back and we need the 5 hour window to clean and prepare the home for the next guests.
12. We have installed three exterior cameras for guest and property safety. These are located at the following locations: 1. above the exterior garage door looking at the driveway, 2. At the front deck looking at the front door, 3. Above the back door looking at the side yard toward the gate. None of these have views into the house except the front door camera, and only when the door is opened looking at the front entry. Tampering with any of the cameras is grounds for automatic cancellation of the reservation with no refund.
