I stayed here with my whole family, siblings, inlaws, nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews so we had a large group of all ages and there was something for everyone. This is a beautiful location and property and close to Westcliffe which is a beautiful little town we very much enjoyed and frequented the Peregrine Coffee Roasters coffee shop which is absolutely delightful. The lodge and grounds are spacious and great for large groups. The hot tub and pool were great. It was pretty clean on the surface inside the house therefore our stay was mostly enjoyable. However the whole property and Lodge just needs some routine maintenance, it looks overgrown on the outside like it doesn't get mowed or weedeated and windows looked like they hadn't been cleaned or cobwebs cleared in a very long time. Inside there was a dire need for more towels and especially beach towels for pool and hot tub as we all flew in and couldn't bring our own. Lots of lightbulbs were out. We had planned to make pancakes one morning but changed our meal plans as the frying pans were very old and scratched and not very useable. Other dishes were good just had to be washed before use as there was evidence of mice in them. The whole place just needs a good deep clean. One of the bedrooms had a strong puke smell and we didn't discover till the last day while stripping the beds that there was puke on the inside of the blanket. One of the bathtubs had hair and bugs in it. A few of the bathrooms doors didn't lock. The ad was very unclear about the sleeping space in the house, it only lists the beds in the bedrooms and completely omits the couches, pullout sofas and mattresses in the loft, and some of the sleeping space is in the game room/conference hall. There is also a huge lack of pictures so there was no way of knowing what the main areas looked like or what sleeping arrangements would be like. It is a very very rustic place but that's not a bad thing if you like that style.
Normally I would not nitpick at a few little things cuz it's not a big deal but there were just too many things that were neglected.
Again it is a great place and I don't regret staying there but I need to review it honestly and hopefully some maintenance can be done soon. Sincerely, Maria
