traveler reviews for this glenwood springs house rental

Expectations Far Exceeded

Siblings & Co. (Chicago, Il)
Review submitted: October 7, 2009   Date of arrival: September 24, 2009

I completely agree with the other reviews that I had read on the site prior to booking the guest house. Pictures are not able to do this property justice. The well cared for house and its surroundings are dramatic. The floor plan works extremely well for families and other groups. The location feels private and secluded but the town is still close enough that we could easily do the things we wanted (and get the things we needed) without a lot of driving. We loved that house isn't visible at all from the road yet still offers incredible views. One practical suggestion, if you are driving in from Denver and are Costco members, consider making a stop at the Gypsum warehouse on the way. We were able to get much of what we needed for our large group in one quick trip.

Glenwood Springs and the Roaring Fork Valley are hidden gems with all the natural beauty and year round recreation opportunities of other Colorado tourist areas but with far greater value. I highly recommend staying long enough to take in all that the guest house and surrounding attractions have to offer. I can't recommend enough the guest house, it's owners and their local hosts.

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, sight seeing

Owners response: We love your practical suggestion to stop at Costco in Gypsum on the way up from Denver. There are also 2 grocery stores in Glenwood Springs for last minute items, but Costso offers the best selection and price for large groups to cook meals at home in the great kitchen at the Sunshine Ridge Guest House.

Delightful in every way!

Review submitted: February 14, 2013   Date of arrival: November 21, 2012

What an amazing floorplan on an amazing lot with amazing views! Our family of 17 gathered here, from different parts of the country, for Thanksgiving of 2012. We were in love from the moment we walked in. The kitchen, especially at Thanksgiving, is the hub of any home and this gigantic kitchen, open to two different dining areas, was spectacular. All the girls could cook without running into each other while the guys were all downstairs enjoying the ball games on TV, pool table and I'm sure, lots of beer! The views are spectacular thus making our only regret being it was too cold to be outside on the expansive deck for long. Both the owners and the caretaker were awesome to work with. I highly recommend this home, especially for larger groups. It's fabulous!

Owners response: Glad you were comfy with 17 people; we are happy you took advantage of the several large gathering areas inside and out for playing, relaxing & cooking together. We will be revamping the patio this spring, adding a covered area so you will be able to have shade in the summer and a dry place to sit in the winter. We hope you come back soon to enjoy the new-improved patio. Thanks for sharing!

Love this house!

Review submitted: February 10, 2013   Date of arrival: January 25, 2013

We have just returned from our stay at this beautiful home. We have a group of 14 friends that take a weekend trip once a year. This house is by far our favorite, so we have returned the past 4 years. The owners are wonderful to work with and the caretaker is very helpful. The house is set up so that you never feel crowded, even in a large group. The huge kitchen and diningroom makes mealtime so easy and has all the cooking supplies you need. We love how the bedrooms are decorated and all have comfortable mattresses. The group has enjoyed playing pool and taking in the great view from the deck. This house feels very secluded, yet you are only minutes from town. We will be returning again and again!

Recommended for: adventure seekers, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, sight seeing
