Fantastic stay

We had a truly wonderful stay at this beautiful home in Elka Park. The house is tucked away in a very private and peaceful setting—perfect for a relaxing week with our two young kids. The owner, an architect, clearly poured so much love and thought into designing the space. Every detail felt intentional, warm, and welcoming.The home was spotless and exactly as described, with clear instructions that made everything seamless from start to finish. We especially loved cozying up by the fireplace and exploring the gorgeous grounds. Gabriel was very communicative and helped us with our questions.Location-wise, it's ideal—just a short drive (under 10 minutes) to several fantastic hikes, making it easy to get outdoors and enjoy the area’s natural beauty.We would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommended!
