License number: 2025-STR-1051. Enjoy getting lost in the romance of exploring this three-story Victorian mansion with hidden nooks and antique adornments. All the bedrooms are individually decorated in classic style for a one-of-a-kind experience. This charming home is brimming with personality and certainly not your typical ski lodge, but choose any window, and you'll be treated to a stunning view of the surrounding mountains. The main living area with its soaring ceiling and wall-of-windows offers an especially captivating glimpse of the country vista. Ski bums will be sufficiently satisfied with Wolf Creek Ski Area, which boasts the most annual snowfall of any Colorado ski area only 15 miles away. In the warmer months, outdoor enthusiasts may want to pay a visit to the South Fork Rio Grande just past the property line.

You'll find ways to unwind year-round at this posh getaway. Chat with your loved ones over a cool drink on the wraparound deck or the front porch swing in the summer. Host a barbecue in the backyard and dine al fresco at the outdoor dining tables. When the temperature drops, there's a well-equipped kitchen where you can prepare your favorite comfort food before serving a formal dinner in the elegant dining area. On chilly nights, gather around the firepit to swap stories or warm yourself by the gas fireplace after a long day on the slopes.

Wonderful vacation home.

We had a family reunion and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and enjoy themselves. We all loved the way the house was furnished . What a great place to just relax and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding mountains. I would highly recommend this property !

A place for everyone

We have been doing summer reunions for 10 years. What an amazing set up, every room has its own bathroom. Plenty of room for all of us to dine together. Even with the afternoon and evening showers forcing us indoors we did not feel like we were on top of each other. Thank you Dragon Fly

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Check-in, communication
While the location is beautiful, and the home is spacious, the communication from the management company was horrible the entire time. We were not sent the code before check-in, and had to call and get it. During this day, they did not respond to questions in a timely manner, and the day we left, we quickly realized we left an item. I immediately started communicating, trying to retrieve the item. For almost 3 weeks I have received the same response, which is they have not been able to talk with their team on location to determine if the item was found. Three weeks later, they cannot tell me if they found our item. Horrible.

Great place for a large family get together

Everything is a little dated in the house, but for the price they are charging it was a good deal. There are a lot of decoration/antiques on the walls / end tables so if you have young ones that cannot control themselves get the insurance. All of the young kids in our family were sent outside (summer time) if they started to get rambunctious. This only gets 4 stars from me for the Vacasa management. VRBO lets them handle check in and out not on VRBO which would be fine if they were quick. I did not get the door codes on check in day and when I texted Vacasa they first suggested I missed it in my spam folder. After a 10 min back and forth they finally agreed to get me the codes. After another 45 min of waiting they sent me two codes for the doors. What they didn't bother to tell was that it was only for the lock boxes for the physical keys (took us another 15 min. to figure that out). So we waited about an hour outside the house before we could get in. Once we got inside it went OK. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils & appliances. The checkout policy is reasonable and easy to follow.

Perfect family gathering place

Our family of 18 consisted of 10 adults and 8 kids ranging from15 to 2 years. We rented the house and studio apt. for a Thanksgiving ski holiday. It was the perfect space for us. The well appointed kitchen had everything needed to host all meals for a crowd. The bedroom/bathroom situation was wonderful. Providing comfort and privacy for a very large group. We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and beautiful grounds. Saw a big beautiful buck amble through the back yard in the early morning. My one complaint or dissatisfaction was the check in process. We arrived a few hours early after a 12 hour drive. The check in time seems rather late at 4pm. So we requested an early check in which they did not accommodate. After killing time we attempted to get in at 4:00. The keyless entry to the main house was faulty. We could not get in. It took a handful of phone calls to Vacasa and numerous attempts at various codes, before finally the General Manager at Vacasa in South Fork was able to provide a code and use the emergency key to get in. This took an hour and half! So as well as not accommodating an early check in- we spent a vey frustrating hour and half dealing with this issue. It was cold and Dark by this time. I was very disappointed in this but we quickly put it behind us and enjoyed everything about the house and the trip! We would return and recommend it for a large group.
