The kitchen offers elegant granite countertops and ample seating with six stylish bar stools, creating a comfortable space to gather with friends and family while meals are being prepared.

There are two cozy bedrooms on the main level, each featuring a plush queen-sized bed, ensuring restful nights after a day of adventure. One of the bedrooms features a desk for guests who need to work during their stay. Nestled between the two bedrooms is a totally updated full bathroom, complete with a tub/shower combo.

The lower level feels like its own private retreat, with a fully finished "second suite" that walks out to the outdoors. It features a second full kitchen with fresh new cabinets and stunning granite counters, open to a cozy dining area for four. The additional living room is the perfect spot to relax, with a brand new queen-size pull-out Tempur-Pedic sofa for extra comfort.

Great place for my husband, me, and our two teenage sons to stay. We golfed, hiked, tubed down the Platte River and had a great time. The location was handy to all that we wanted to do. The house was clean and well equipped for our stay. Would stay again if back in the area. Emily was helpful and easy to contact.

Wonderful place to stay. The two seperate floors with seperate spaces (two kitchens, two sitting areas) makes it great for two families. Beds were especially comfy and place was well stocked with kitchen needs. Plenty of space. We would definitely return.
