Awesome getaway

This house is perfect for a family getaway!! It has great entertaining spaces and the lake/beach in the community is perfect, especially for younger kids. Lots to do in the area - we checked out Boulder Field and some trails - highly recommend! House is as described with extra thought put into what you need in a home away from home.

Family Vacation

My family enjoyed staying in this home. This home had everything needed to cook a meal. The pool table was the highlight of this trip. We had pool tornaments. The beach was 5 minutes away and the home had beach chairs for us to borrow. I definetly recommend this place.

Ridge Retreat

Great stay! We loved the way the house is decorated very good taste. It was clean and in a great location . If there is anything that I could find wrong would maybe be the tv cable. That was a little challenging trying to setup. We also couldn’t figure out how to get the game room fireplace lit. The place was really nice.

Great location, great stay.

The property was fully equipped with all toiletries, towels, linens etc. On top of that, the house was in a great location, not far from all types of outdoor activities like skiing/snowboarding, paintball, and atv riding. Would recommend to anyone and would love to return.

Fantastic Family Vacation

We had such an amazing time! We needed a place to relax from our busy summer and Dave’s house was perfect. The small personal touches just like a hotel were a wonderful surprise. Located close to the community beach, state parks for hiking and the water parks. We would recommend to any small family AND would definitely go back!

Met expectations

House was well stocked. Would have liked a few more towels/washcloths, but other than that it had everything we needed, especially in the kitchen. The management company was very responsive.
