"We came for the Telluride Film Festival and were, overall, quite pleased. The only minor problem was getting in the front door the first night so we just left it unlocked the entire time. The king bed was very comfortable, bathrooms were nice & clean, and kitchen was perfect. Wasn't sure about using the hot tub or not."
