Wonderful Week in Colorado
This place has everything we are looking for in a quiet Colorado vacation in August. During the day we hiked the trails, explored nearby towns, watched the wildlife (deer, pronghorn, birds). In the evenings we either ate in town or cooked in the well equipped kitchen. The night skies are so dark that we could even see the Milky Way. We plan be back again next year.

Heartsel cabin getaway
Great cabin with lots of room. Great views from front porch. Everything the listing stated and more.Quiet neighborhood with excellent star gazing at night. Slightly farther to Buena Vista and other attractions but manageable. Road to cabin a little rough. Would stay here again as positives far exceed any negatives.

Spacious but overwhelming with decor and furniture items
We booked at least 10 months in advance when listing said “sleeps 12”; and didn’t find out until 2 months prior to trip we had to drop from 11 guests down to 8 or less because of Colorado State Park regulation. Property owner was as helpful as he could be given the situation. We had to alter our plans a bit. The home is beautiful and HUGE; but also overwhelming with LOTS of decor and furniture. One thing 100% agreed upon by us all is of the multiple VRBO rentals we’ve stayed, this one felt as though it hadn’t been cleaned recently; and a bit cluttered. Maybe vacant for some time?? Would have felt a lot cleaner with much less decor and unused kitchen ware and other furniture everywhere. Wasn’t aware there would be trailer/campers right next door on an open property/camp site that were burning fires every night. I was under the impression this was a building/cabin property only area. Aren’t fires banned right now? That ended up an annoyance also with dogs chained up daily and barking at everything. Also, for such a huge rental home for up to 8 people, with just a 50 gallon water tank, and bathrooms with dual shower heads, after just one, maybe 2 showers, the hot water was gone. Great location otherwise. Not a far daily drive into Buena Vista for family shopping and fun. And also lots of activity sporting equipment for use in garage. Just not really a “fresh cut” lawn/yard in the mountains suitable for play. Plenty of room though for horseshoes, corn hole, or similar games.

Amazing location
This home was amazing!! The location great as well. We brought our UTVs to do some trail riding in the mountains, and this location was perfect for that. The home was so clean and comfortable. With 2 little boys with us, it was nice to have all the extras to keep them occupied. Several hours were spent hitting the baseball in the yard. I started to realize what the meaning of the phrase "the silence is deafening " meant. It is so quiet there, I thought I was going deaf. Lol Looking forward to renting again soon.

3rd Year to Stay!
We keep going back, our family (ages 5 to adult) obviously love this property., feels like home! The property is somewhat remote and this is one of the many things we love about it. I might add it's very easy to get to, it.is just not close to town. Not a problem though, we just get what we need when in town! There is plenty of room to do what you like inside or out. Each evening the kids (and adults) loved the bicycles provided. The back deck and front porch are perfect places to relax and enjoy the amazing views. You'll never tire of the beautiful views in every direction. Thank you Chris we had a wonderful time!

Beautiful!
We arrived shortly before a big snowstorm, so my husband was a bit worried about being snowed in. Myself, I just sat and watched the snow fall and loved it! We received over 8” of snow in two days! But the next morning, the roads were all cleared and we had no trouble getting out. There were several shovels for shoveling the driveway. With 9 of us there, we wondered if we’d be falling over each other or going stir crazy, but there was so much room for everyone! We cooked in the beautiful kitchen, played games, watched movies, and sat talking in front of the downstairs fireplace. I just can’t stop saying how beautiful it was!

Big, comfortable, secluded place for a great stay!
We took our 5 kids from Texas to LOTR for some fun in the snow. We had plenty of space to spread out and enjoyed all the fun décor. It really is secluded, which was nice to get away from everything, be able to let the kids go outside on the large property and run around in the snow, and once they got tired, they came inside and had fun on the foosball table, playing games, or just relaxing. If you want to get out and do other stuff, be ready to drive - we went out to eat one night, and it was a 30 min drive. But we really didn't need to go out that much as we brought food and the property had everything else we needed.
