This home is located in a close-knit community.

It is VERY important to be mindful of noise levels, speed limits, and to treat this community like home.

This home has central AC and there is one thermostat for entire home so basement level runs cooler than the main level.

The upstairs loft is strictly OFF LIMITS due to the steep ladder. Please watch young children closely to ensure they do not attempt to climb the ladder.

There are two designated parking spots available behind the home. If you have more than 2 vehicles, please contact us for instruction. This home is unable to provide parking for trailers or RVs.

A outdoor gear shed with secured lock is available for guest's use to store bicycles and sporting equipment.

Guest packages cannot be mailed to this home as they are routed to a parcel locker that only owners are able to access.

Nice house in quiet, walkable neighborhood

This house was great for our multigenerational family stay, as the basement offered privacy for grandparents. The neighborhood is very pleasant with sidewalks and access to playgrounds, and great views. Clean and bright bathrooms. Easy access to Sunlight Ski Resort and downtown Glenwood Springs. Upstairs beds were somewhat squeaky, but this could be fixed with a good tightening of the connectors. Property manager was responsive to the minor concern we raised about the electrical circuit in the basement seeming unstable. Overall, I would definitely recommend this comfortable property.

Pleasant

Overall our stay was nice. We had everything we needed and the house was very clean. However the queen bed and bunk frames were metal and the mattresses were quite uncomfortable. The frames shake when you turn over. It helped a little to put the mattresses on the floor however they do need to be replaced. When we brought this to the Management's attention they basically said thanks for letting us know. The king bed was very comfortable. Some towels were quite stained.

Great Family Getaway

We had a great family getaway to Glenwood Springs in this comfortable home. For my family of 4, it was not too big or too small. It was just right and only about a 10 minute drive to downtown, both Hot Springs, and the Glenwood Adventure Park/Caverns. We really had a very enjoyable trip, and were all well rested each night. The neighborhood was very quiet. We'd love to stay again if we're in Glenwood.

Property and location were way better than we expected!

Lovely family neighborhood with tons of parks to walk to. We sat on the front porch and watched the kids ride their scooters in from of the house. House layout was perfect for our group of 4 adults and 2 children. Great sushi restaurant within a short walk.

Really nice, but kitchen layout

Quaint neighborhood. Location is not good for a walk to downtown, but it is a good location. Beds were nice. Kitchen is cute and the oven is good. Very small microwave. Owners require entry into the homes side door. When this side door is open it takes up half the kitchen. It would be good to have a protective cover over the deck where entry is required so that falls do not happen.

Lovely home in great area!

It was the perfect size for 4 adults and 2 children. Quiet neighborhood. Beautiful scenery. Easy access to the river for fishing. A small parking area just down the main road, gives you access to a paved trail that runs along the river. Very nice. A small word of caution - Hwy 82 is very congested during the week days at around 4 to 5. (Rush hour for peeps returning from Aspen) So just avoid it at that time if possible. The weekend days did not have that issue.
