Not what we expected but it was ok
I'll start by saying i should have been more aware of the location. We just didn't expect it to be twelve miles from Black Hawk, the last few miles on gravel. That's great if that's what you're looking for. But the pictures don't show the busy highway 150 yards from the patio. There were nonstop trucks hauling up and down the steep hill, you can imagine the noise. They also don't show the neighbor across the way with the bright outdoor lights on 24x7, no star watching.
However, the property is exceptionally clean. It is also very modern. The owners have done a great job making it comfortable. It's well equipped, has a nice shower, decent kitchen and great living space.
Be aware, it is a downstairs unit and the unit above is also a rental. You hear every footstep. We were awakened at 4 AM by what sounded like someone packing and cleaning up to leave. Stomping feet, slamming drawers, suitcase rolling across the floor. The next people had dogs so we heard all of the toenails clicking across the floor and barking.
For some of reason the bed is, no exaggeration, 3.5 feet off of the floor. My 5' 4" wife couldn't get into it and had to slide out of it to the floor. Also, the mattress is VERY hard. We hated it.
I know it sounds like it was all bad but it wasn't. Just be prepared to drive a lot if you go places. Ignore the neighbor and the noise. The sauna is awesome, the unit is very nice and clean and the yard is wel maintained and had lots of flowers and some nature areas.
