What a beautiful home

This was a wonderful place to stay for our son’s CU graduation. There were 6 of us total. The house is wonderfully decorated with the most beautiful flower arrangements and other special touches (too many to list). The hosts were so helpful and responsive. This was a top notch property! We loved it!
