The owners haven’t missed anything that guests might hope for and enjoy while staying at this beautiful property. The kitchen is fully equipped; the decor was very inviting and quite luxurious; (the 5 bedroom suites were what sold me on this property!) the fire pit on the lovely deck; even a turntable to listen to old lps! the access to the lake and paddle boats and canoe; bikes for riding. It was so very suitable for my family! The close access to the Rocky Mountain National Park was a bonus. We can’t thank the McDowells enough for providing this beautiful space for us to enjoy on our vacation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tammie F. Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### WOW! AMAZING! AWESOME! This property is absolutely stunning. This was probably the nicest VRBO we have ever stayed in. (We stay in several each year) It was clean and the beds and pillows were comfortable. The listing online is very accurate. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had. The kitchen was so well stocked. Everything from utensils, dishes, small appliances, knives, cutting boards, grill tools, were available for use. It was like cooking in my own kitchen at home. The kids used the bikes that were provided. We walked down to the lake, but did not use any of the boats. We enjoyed the outdoor patio furniture and the many hummingbirds. They also left extra hummingbird food already made in the fridge. We filled the feeders once while we were there, not required, but we enjoyed them and wanted to keep them fed. Definitely take time to read the book the owners wrote telling their story about their original cabin and the rebuild after the fire. It's a quick read with lots of pictures. It definitely gave me a real appreciation of the cabin and all the hard work their whole family put into it. I can't say enough about the cabin and the owners, and I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a great family getaway. The five bedrooms and 5-1/2 bathrooms gives everyone their own privacy and there is plenty of space for a large family to hang out together too. It is also a quick drive into town. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. ##### Tammie F. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brenda B.

They have everything you could dream of, a d everything is very well labeled. Due to the recent fires, the area is a bit barebones, so that's a bit of a drag, but it's still a very nice area. Highly recommend. ##### Bijan D. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela S.

We love the area and always see more moose around sun valley lake than rangers in the park. The place is clean, spacious, and has the best equipped kitchen we have ever encountered in a rental. ##### Dennis C.
