This is an amazing place to stay. It is clean, well-appointed, and clearly well-cared for by the owners. Our family of four loved this property. It looks nothing like a basement; it has high ceilings, smells clean with no dampness, and is well lighted.
We never saw Michael in person, but did speak to his wife Sue for a bit the first day. She is a gracious and kind person, inviting us to use their back yard whenever we wanted to do so.
Bottom line, this is a great rental with great owners, near many great hikes and parks and only half hour from the Denver airport. Thank-you Michael and Sue!
