Nice house with plenty of room.
Stay was great and the house is very beautiful with nice views. Probably could use some instructions on which light switches turn on which lights. The kitchen lights are down a hallway near a bathroom on the backside of the kitchen.

Beautiful property for a Colorado getaway!
We had 10 guests at the house five days to raft, zipline, and explore the area. We had SO MUCH FUN! There was plenty of activities in the area to keep us busy. The house was clean and spacious inside and out. I do think 16 adults would be a tight fit as the loft with pull out couches is not private. This accounts for 4 bodies sleeping in essentially the living room as the house has beautiful vaulted ceiling and open living concepts. Overall, we would absolutley stay again for another adventure!

Awesome family vacation
The house was perfect for all 16 family members, plenty to do outside with hot tub, fire pit and horse shoes. The house came fully stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, shampoo & conditioner, trash bags and plenty of towels for everyone. I would recommend this rental to others!!

Great house but overpriced for worn down condition
The house is in a beautiful area where you can hear the river if you walk outside. The hot tub is well maintained and perfect for soaking in while you watch the train below. There are horseshoes and a fire pit (which we couldn't use because of a fire ban), some cards and board games, and the house itself has 6 sleeping areas (one is a closet, so it's NOT a bedroom as advertised), plus sleeper couches, 3.5 bathrooms (not 4), and some nice touches like laundry and dishwashing soap, paper towels, and toilet paper. There is a fireplace and plenty of space for family to gather for meal preparation and dining. The house has lots of plates and utensils, some basic spices, lots of cups and glasses, cooking and serving utensils, a small crock pot and blender, a toaster and drip coffee maker, etc. The check in process sucks. You have to meet a management company at an office ONLY between 3-4pm despite the house having ability for check-in and access remotely, including e-signing of documents. To make it worse, when I arrived at the office (during COVID-19 peak), I had to wait in a tourist activity office where several other people were nearby and one of the employees at the desk where I was being helped was holding her mask AWAY from her mouth UNDER her nose while talking on the phone. I pointed it out to the employee helping me and he didn't do anything. This didn't start things off well. I followed an employee to the property where they did a quick walkthrough (which probably shouldn't be done during COVID). The house is literally on the doorstep of the zipline, so expect to see people nearby. The house itself is a beautiful cabin, but everything beyond the surface is worn terribly. From finishes on the wood being worn to the towels, linens, and furniture being stained and having torn holes in them, and being broken or worn out, the mattresses being worn out, and the dishes and cups being cracked and chipped, it is obvious that items USED to be nice, but they just aren't anymore. The house was generally very clean, but there were areas that weren't. For example, there was soap goo on the bathroom ledge (we didn't have/bring bar soap). There's no bath soap provided other than hand soap and shampoo/conditioner. The electronics are old and wiring is stripped, the wifi is slow, and neither of the jet tub bathtubs worked. The dishwasher needed servicing and the garbage disposal reeked of fish. Overall, loved the house but not the price for the condition.

Perfect lodge for Royal Gorge rafting and activities
This cabin was perfect for our group of guys in town for some river rafting and Royal Gorge adventures. There was tons of space for us to gather inside for dinner, poker, or watching TV, but there was also plenty of room to get away for some peace and quiet if you wanted to. Not only that, but there was plenty of stuff to do outside the cabin as well like horseshoes, grilling out, fire pit, exploring the interesting landscape, etc.. . We will definitely be staying here again if/when we return in the future. Nick from TX

Very nice!!!
We spent 4 days here with my husband's parents, his 5 siblings and our families. The house is kept up very well and we had everything we could possibly need. My ONLY complaint is that it isn't very sound proof. The doors to the bedrooms don't seem to fit snugly, and the doors on the bathrooms are pocket doors which also don't fit extremely snugly. So, since the bathrooms are shared between rooms, we could hear pretty much everything going on in the bathroom, and often, what was happening in the adjoining bedroom. There is also a living area outside the upstairs bedrooms, and if the kids were watching TV there or talking, we could hear pretty much everything loud and clear, even with our bedroom door shut. Otherwise, we loved the house! Very nice outdoor areas and great porches!
