Summary: This lovely home is a labor of love. Owner built, piece by piece, and you can tell. Super clean!! Did not even see a cobweb!! Off the beaten track along side a river. Gorgeous. Saw moose across the river and the Aurora at night during the clear nights. Beautiful! Everything was as pictured and described! Warm heated floors. Softened water. A garage!! Bonus!! Loved the induction stove! Every kind of coffee maker and hot water maker there is.Sleeping arrangements for two couples was good as bedrooms are on different sides of the house. Each had their own bathroom from the halls. Comfortable couches in the LR. The laundry room was perfect for drying our snowy coats, hats, etc. Very nice place!! The only downside, VERY MINOR, was we would have liked more of the deck shoveled. The front steps were icy until we chipped the ice away. No biggie. We are from Colorado Rockies and we know you have to get the snow up right away or you have ice until April. But just a great place to stay. Warm and welcoming and would stay again.
