Rocktoberfest

Hello. We had 5 in our group, picked this cabin to play music in which was a good choice as there were no neighbors to bother. The cabin is situated in the aspens which is nice. Couple of suggestions: keep the propane filled for guests, we had to do an exchange, the cabin faces west which is beautiful but also hot from 2-7(in sept) we spent a lot of time on the back porch which was about 20 degrees cooler, would be tricky to add blinds(maybe impossible), time to put some money into this cabin (paint, fix the water pressure, wifi didnt work, decor,etc) a hot tub would be cool and maybe an extention of the back deck. But overall we had a great time. Alma and Fairplay are minutes away for groceries, beer, etc.

Stay near Fairplay

We enjoyed our stay near Fairplay. The house was very adequate for our group of 10. There were a few items that would have made it a more comfortable stay. The huge west facing windows had a beautiful view, but they also let the sun's rays heat up the house. There should have been screens for every window to be able to cool the house at night. The windows were also in need of a good cleaning. The grill did not work, which made dinner plans a lot more expensive.

50th Anniversary Celebration.

This house was the perfect location to get you with family and spend a short time together. There was more than enough space for our family to spread out and enjoy privacy when needed. The game room and outside grounds provided enough entertainment for the youngest members in our group. The kitchen could use some new pots and pans as the ones provided are definitely worn. I understand that wear and tear is always something to consider when renting a home, but I was concerned about being able to cook a proper meal with damaging the cookware more for the next guest. Over all we had agreat stay and are so glad we found this home with such a spectacular view to be with our family.

Nice location, great size, full amenities!

This house has everything you could possibly need from cooking supplies to outside gear-nothjng was missed here! Location & view is amazing! Great size-loved the living room seating around the fireplace and large farm table! My only hesitation in giving it 5 stars is cleanliness. It was good but a bit rough around the edges! I would still recommend and feel lucky that we had the opportunity to stay here.

Not Great - Left 2 Days Early

The pictures online are accurate regarding layout and basic structures, but the property has a lot more wear and tear than what is reflected in the photos. Like prior travelers, I did not find the house to be very clean or inviting. Lots of grime/dust that has accumulated over the years, and the property is dated and sparsely decorated. There was a battery out on the smoke detector, and it beeped loudly my entire stay. Its location on the vaulted ceiling meant that I couldn't change it. I also did not feel very safe - there are no deadbolts on the main entry doors, and the master bedroom is on the ground level with a large window right next to the bed. The house is right next to the road, and someone driving by at night can easily see into the house via the large windows. Another major problem was that the large great room windows mean that the main floor gets very, very hot - even when it is cool outside. The sun glare was so intense I could not work on my laptop on the main floor from 3pm - 6pm (October). After 2 days, I just wasn't enjoying my stay and left with 2 nights remaining on my reservation. I informed the property manager and Evolve of my departure and the concerns I had about the property. A week later, I get a notification that the owner was assessing a pet fee for having my dog with me (it's pet friendly). That just seemed in poor taste and rude, given that I had to depart the property earlier than planned because it was unsatisfactory (and no refund for either my cleaning fee or unused days). I've stayed at much better rental homes in the area for a similar price point - guests can do better.

Moths, soap scum & used toothpick flossers

I want to preface this review by saying that we had a very nice, relaxing time on our trip. The cabin was very nice. Unfortunately there were a few issues that we just couldn't over look. First, it is the middle of summer and this cabin faces the setting sun. Those amazing windows shown in the pics give amazing views, but also heat up the great room drastically. The best way to cool down the room is to open up the two sliding glass doors, the only problem with doing so, is that it allows dozens of moths into the cabin. One night we counted 29 moths inside, and moth carcasses all over the floor. Of course this could have been avoided had the owners installed screens on the doors. Not that it would have eliminated them completely, but would have helped immensely. The second issue was discovered the morning after we arrived when we went to use some of the dishes. Almost every glass, plate or utensil we grabbed was covered in a white layer of soap scum. When we looked in the dish washer it too had a thick coating of soap scum. This has clearly been an issue for quite some time but for some reason had not been addressed. From there we discovered numerous other things, like used toothpick flossers and dead moths in the tooth brush holders in the bathrooms, clumps of hair in the shower drains, soap caked on one of the soap dispensers, a thick layer of dust on the landing wood and ash from the fireplace on the hearth. It was clear that the cleaning crew did nothing more than change out the linens and wipe down the counters. Considering we are in the middle of COVID-19 and Evolve touts increased cleaning standards, the issues we found are more than a little concerning. We have contacted Evolve and asked to be reimbursed for our cleaning fee but have yet to hear back. Lastly, if you prefer decent pillows I would highly recommend you bring you own, as the pillows at this cabin are likely the cheapest synthetic filling possible.

Great getaway during pandemic

Our stay in the cabin was excellent! The cabin was very spacious and had plenty of room for a large family or a couple of small families. The amenities were delightful and location was great as it was as remote as can be despite being near sparsely populated areas. We had total privacy and had breath taking views of snow capped mountains in the distance. Our teenaged children had fun playing the foosball table. The furnishings were comfortable and the scented candles added a pleasant mountain scent.

Great Stay - everything we needed

Our first visit to Fairplay Colorado was crowned by the Ponderosa Lodge we stayed at with our family of 13 and two dogs. We basically used the cabin as a base camp and went on daily adventures around Fairplay, Breckenridge, Frisco, Colorado. The amenities were plentiful in the Lodge providing us with anything and everything we needed for a most comfortable stay. On top of the convenience of the physical location, the comforts of home provided by this cabin, the hosts had applied the care and concern of outfitting the lodge with extras such as board games, foosball table and wonderful entertainment and audio systems. Due to all this comfort, we experienced one of the best family vacations yet, and plan on returning in the not too distant future. Thank you for such a great vacation lodge. Sincerely, Detroy and Cindy Green and family

Tough to decide on this one.

It's safe to say that our family is more conflicted on this property than any other we've ever stayed at through VRBO/Home Away. On one hand, you simply can't beat the view from the huge front windows, and deck--simply spectacular. There are other positives too, from the brand new leather sectional, to the great Sonos system, new gas grill, and lots of room. Unfortunately it's the small things that really dragged the experience down for us. First was the general lack of cleanliness. I don't know who the owner is contracting with for cleaning services, but they should be fired immediately. Here are some of the issues we encountered: - Most dishes, glassware and silverware in the cupboards and drawers were covered with tiny pieces of dried food. This meant you couldn't trust anything you pulled out to use without examining and usually re-washing it by hand. Having used their dishwasher while we were there, I think that's the problem. Even though we thoroughly rinsed everything prior to using it, most items still ended up with food residue. - The top of the refrigerator was covered with frosting and candy sprinkles from a previous tenant. Maybe they only have short people on their cleaning crew? - A child's pacifier was found under one of the beds. - Owner's don't have you strip the down comforters from the bed, so they presumably seldom get washed. Our kids found hairs and other evidence of previous use. - Stains on some of the bedskirts indicated they probably hadn't ever been washed. - Grease film on vent hood and tea kettle. Beyond cleanliness, there were other annoying things that made us assume the owners weren't paying attention: - The refrigerator is badly out of level, so the front door constantly swings open and bangs against the wall directly next to it. Since the paint is worn away where contact occurs, I'm guessing this has been a problem for a long time. - None of the sliding glass doors or upstairs bedroom windows have screens. The wall of west facing doors and windows allows for great views, but even on a 65-degree day, the inside temperature quickly climbed into the mid 80s, and we couldn't open the sliding doors or windows to cool off without letting in flies and mosquitoes. The sliding doors didn't have shades or curtains of any kind. - The vent filter above the stove is still barely attached (from a previous review). - Downstairs bedroom shade doesn't work. - Foosball table has broken pieces. I don't think we'll return.

Great house, fairly close to activities

The house was a great place to stay! It has a wonderful view and was very clean. The rooms are laid out well and we especially liked the master bedroom downstairs, allowed us to "get away" from everyone! The hosts were extremely thoughtful, having tubs of things we may have forgotten and plenty of the small "extras" that make going to the store much cheaper. Overall, for a family get-away, this was one of our best. Thanks for having such a great place and sharing it!

You get what you pay for.

We enjoyed our stay however there are some things that could have been improved. It could have been cleaner and there could have been more towels available. A few things broke on the house that were from previous tennates. We opened the dish washer and the cabinet door feel off like it was leaning against it to even stay on. Then we had a chef cook for us one night and the vent above the stove fell off and hit her. The location wasn’t good for us considering everything we did was in Breckenridge and we weren’t aware it was a 45 min drive every time we wanted to go. The good thing about this house is the owner. He is her friendly, helpful and you could tell he genuinely cared to help us and about trying to make our stay as good as possible. But is you’re just going for a quick ski trip and won’t be at the house much anyways it’s a great place. The fire place is nice, it’s very spacious and the WiFi worked great once we got it up and running. Don’t know if we will be staying again only because of the location but if everything was fixed in the house and it was cleaned really good I would definitely recommend it.

Beautiful home.

The owners did a wonderful job in remodeling this home. There were only 4 of us but the home has plenty of room for several more. The upstairs bedrooms we didn't even use. The only problem we encountered was when we arrived the home was at 55 degrees. It probably would not have seemed so bad but it was 7 degrees outside. After contacting property manager he came out to check it and told us to give it 30 min. Parts of the house were getting warm but kitchen and living area still 55 degrees when we woke up the next morning. After calling property manager again it was promptly fixed that next day and we did not have any problems after that. The home has beautiful views and I would love to visit again in the summer time with all the Aspen trees.

Amazing Cabin close to Breckenridge!

We stayed here for two nights and had a wonderful time! There were games for the family to play, puzzles, sleds, anything the kids could want. The kitchen was fully stocked with dishes and spices and lots of extras like coffee, teas, and hot chocolate. The owners even had bins with “extra” items you may have forgotten. We had two families and there was plenty of room for everyone to hang out. The linens were new and the beds were very comfy. The views were spectacular, I would love to return in the fall when the Aspens are changing. The drive to Breckenridge was about 30 minutes. You will not regret staying at Pondera Lodge!
