Weekend with Family

We had a wonderful weekend at this property with our family. We flew in from North Carolina for our nieces graduation and Georgetown was the perfect place to stay. Great location not far from Denver but in the beautiful Rockies! The house was perfect for our family. Very clean, comfortable and stocked. We will definitely stay here again!

perfect mountain town stay

Gorgeous, cozy, and comfy (yet spacious!) stay for my family's holiday mini-vacation. The home is nestled back from the quaint town but within very easy walking distance to the main street with a lovely cafe and great brewpub type place (with Detroit style pizza!) and more. We loved the modern yet rustic feel of the home and how there's enough space to spread out but also gather together again for board games and family meals. Super close to skiing at Loveland Valley & Basin.

3rd Visit

This is was our third stay at this home and it was exceptional. One of the things we love about this place is how clean it is and the high quality accommodations and furnishings. It’s got everything you need for a small family stay. We made it work with three kids and two adults. Highly recommend this property and host for your visit to Georgetown!

Great work retreat spot!

We came to Georgetown for our annual work retreat with three women. Loved the large table and ample sitting areas for us. The sauna was a treat to wind down as well. Walking around the neighborhood was enjoyable and we always felt safe. We were able to walk down to Georgetown Lake as well. Kitchen was perfect and I made a fun meal and didnt lack for anything!

Great House

Great spot for large group. The improved basement area was a great spot for the kids and teens to hang out together. We had great time playing in the snow. Easy access to Loveland Ski Area and an easy drive from Denver airport. I would love to come back when it was warmer to be able to use the outside picnic areas.
