The view of the lake and mountains is what we were looking for, and the chairs on the deck allowed for peaceful coffee sipping each morning. This home is in brand new condition and immaculately clean. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed and generously stocked -- I even found coffee creamer, which I had forgotten to bring. The owner has supplied items that many rental places don't -- paper towels, K-cups (the kids loved the hot cocoa ones), tea, and an array of cooking essentials like olive oil and seasonings. Tara communicated everything we needed to know via email and text, and she was just a text away when we had questions. Throughout our stay, we utilized the grill, the hammock, and the fire pit for s'mores -- loads of firewood and even marshmallow roasting sticks provided. Thank you, Tara, for your hospitality, and for sharing this beautiful house with us! Girl Scout troop 1291 had an amazing Colorado adventure with 201 Lakeview as our beautiful basecamp!
