Great house for a couple of families. Game room was really well done and our kids loved the bunk room with the camping setup. 8 mins to boulder, about half hour to camelback which was just fine for us. Too much snow to use the outdoor amenities but they looked really cute!Book it!

We booked this place very last minute because our reservation on another platform was canceled a few days before our trip. This ended up being the best thing to happen because this house was much nicer than what we originally had booked! Very spacious for large groups! We had a group of 13 adults and a few small children, and we were not on top of eachother at all. We loved the game room and sauna. The hot tub unfortunately wasn’t getting hot enough, but I utilized the jacuzzi tub in the master bedroom and have no complaints. The only thing is that we got around 6 inches of snow and there was no shovel to get our cars out. I let the owner know and they appreciated the feedback! They were extremely helpful and responsive when I messaged in. We would definitely come back to this property!

Highly recommended. The host, Shashank, was extremely helpful and responsive. This VRBO is beautiful, well maintained, and very well appointed. We attended with our extended family of 17 people and there was plenty of room for all of us - sleeping, playing, eating, cooking, etc. The kitchen is very roomy with vg appliances. There is a full additional refrigerator/freezer on the lower level as well, which is great when traveling with large groups. The coffee set up was top notch. The game room downstairs was a real standout - from pingpong and pool to air hockey, shuffleboard, and arcade games. There are also games on the walls such as tic tac toe and chess, plus in the living room on the upper floor the coffee table is filled with games! Nobody could possibly be bored. The bedrooms are spacious and there are three different rooms with sturdy bunk beds in various configurations - perfect for extended family reunions. The adult bedrooms are clean and very comfortable, with mostly king and a couple of queen beds. Whatever is in the description online is true. The dining room table was especially large. Despite the cold weather, the young children enjoyed the obstacle course and we all enjoyed a bonfire in the fire pit and a very comfortable sitting and grilling area right outside sliding doors on the lower level. Great setup. Plenty of parking.
