Rambler's Retreat / Sleeps 8 / Lakefront View

Summary:
An unbeatable view is just one of the many charms of the Rambler's Retreat. This is the ultimate Colorado experience with mountains, lakes, wildlife and mountain town charm -- all a mere 45 minutes from Denver! Our brand new lakefront town home is currently the only three bedroom lakefront home in Georgetown’s Bighorn Crossing community is fully stocked and ready for your arrival. For the best in hiking, skiing, local culture and history, the Rocky Mountains are calling and you must go.

The Space:
Explore the Rockies from your new favorite home base! Two stories, three bedrooms, two and half bathrooms, and a two-car garage(not currently available) all add up to a gem of the townhome that’s both comfy and roomy. Whether you’re a Colorado greenhorn, a repeat visitor or a Denver local looking to breathe free for the weekend, there’s never a bad time to enjoy the Centennial State’s 300 days of sunshine.

Shred at Arapahoe Basin, Keystone or Loveland Ski Area, all within easy reach. Step back in time on the Georgetown Loop Railroad. And hiking is literally on your doorstep -- just lace up your boots and head outside for a relaxing stroll. Keep an eye out for a variety of wildlife, including Georgetown’s famous bighorn sheep. Peruse the listing photos to see the lake and marvel at the view!

One thing our guests love about the home is the awesome layout. The great room, one of the guest bedrooms, a half bath as well as the kitchen and breakfast bar are all on the main floor. This is so perfect for all groups, but especially those travelling with people who have trouble with stairs! The floors are beautiful and everything is brand new in this mountain oasis.

The kitchen will exceed your expectations: full of modern appliances, with plenty of counter space and everything you need to whip up a meal or snack. Brew up your morning cup and partake in the popular Colorado pastime of waking up with coffee, birds and wildlife. Everything is fully stocked for your convenience.

Weather keeping you inside? The mounted flat screen TV is set up for streaming and the enormous L-shaped couch is just the place for lounging, snuggling and enjoying the peace and quiet. And if you’re looking to unplug, the lovely view is also visible from the couch. One of two guest bedrooms is also downstairs, complete with a trundle bed for extra sleeping capacity. This bed can comfortable sleep 2.

Head upstairs to find the master bedroom and the second guest bedroom. We are huge fans of upstairs bedrooms in general, but these are especially pleasant and well appointed. The master has a queen bed outfitted with luxury linens. The master bath delivers some nice upgrades like a walk-in shower and his-and-her sinks.

Also upstairs you’ll find a guest bedroom with -- surprise! -- rustic and stylish bunk beds. Of course these are great for kids, but if we’re being honest they are just as big a hit with adults. The bunks sleep 2-3 people depending on guest preference. There is a trundle under the lower level bunk. And the full guest bathroom is a necessity for group and family travel.

Stay for the night, the week, or longer! We love to accommodate extended stays. This space is Colorado personified and distilled into one luxurious, cute package with all the bells and whistles. Book with confidence today!

Great Location in a Great Little Mountain Town
New property right on the lake. Had everything we needed!! Walking distance from Cabin Creek Brewing (as in 0.2 miles) which had great drinks and food. Downtown Georgetown itself (about 0.7 miles away) has numerous great restaurants/pubs.

Great Location
We came to Georgetown and rented both properties (Elberts Escape and Ramblers Retreat). The properties were in a good location and these are the only ones in the area with a garage. There were little frustrating things that weren't deal breakers-the garage door codes didn't work, the power went out, the trash dumpster is a bit of a walk. There will be constant construction in this area for the near future as they are building within 20 feet of the front door. If those things don't bother you, then this is a great place to stay.

Boarded up windows and dirty towels
Really disappointed with this property. When I got there I figured I had the address wrong since the windows were boarded up, but no unfortunately that was the property I paid for. Every towel was stained and the property smelled like cigarettes and marijuana.

Another great place to stay in Georgetown
This is a great place in a spectacular location. We had 5 adults and 2 kids. The sleeping situation was a little tight at times, but not a deal breaker. The living room/kitchen was great for feeding our crew and playing games together. We had one slight issue with the tv, that we were able to resolve very quickly over messages.

Convenient location
I'll start with some positives. Property is conveniently located. We enjoyed walking around the lake, fishing, walking down the path to eat at the corner restaurant, and utilizing the Microtel for swimming and hot tub. The house was spacious and relatively quiet, which was a surprise with the construction area around and the highway within view. I wish better arrival instructions were given as we pulled in late at night and with the construction around and lack of outdoor lights, it was very unclear how and where to pull up to the property. In the dark, I was unknowingly driving on the walking path nearby, looking for a place to turn around. I will ditto some of the other reviews regarding condition of the house. For a place only 2-3 years old, I would have expected there to be less maintenance issues. The broken outdoor light, dishwasher not screwed in place, boarded up exterior window, and bowed garage door were borderline safety issues alone. Many other cosmetic issues as well.

Refresh NEEDED
This is our second stay here. LOVE the LOCATION. Property could use a serious refresh. Towels are stained and torn, carpet is scary, dishwasher is not installed properly and tips when used, hair in mixing bowls, cookware is sparse and feels like a college student garage sale (may want to make sure you have proper items before meal planning), cords are almost every window shade are broken, bathroom floor tiles broken. But it was better than our last stay, towel and sheets were dry this visit since I requested this luxury prior to our stay, dishes and floors were cleaner this visit compared to previous stay. We will likely return to this area but would like to see the above comments addressed before we continue to pay hundreds of dollars for cleaning and fees every visit.

It was good!
We loved the location and the lake was awesome to walk and fish. We only had a little trouble with the electrical outlets. My husband had to reset. Otherwise everything else was good. We love the little town of Georgetown. It was a great location to go back-and-forth to different places in the area. We were glad we brought a couple of outside chairs to sit outside. I had read a review that someone suggested that. For our particular unit there was room to be outside and just to look over the lake so I would suggest that for anyone.

Perfect Location for Weekend Getaway
We had a great trip to Georgetown this past weekend in a great location! The house was comfy to fit 6 adults, and a great spot to easily access the lake, breweries, and downtown. We were there for The Slacker Half Marathon, and having the house made the whole experience way less stressful than having to deal with an early morning commute and I-70 traffic.

Had potential, missed the mark.
We flew in Denver late, and had an hour drive to the property. Upon arrival it was evident the heater in the upstairs master was out of service. It kept reading error message. It was 17 degrees outside, snowing, windy, and the bedroom stayed at 65-67 degrees. Trying to get the situation corrected was a lengthy process and even then, they just wanted us to rebook a new location. Property Management took a very long time to respond.. No offer to come fix the heater, no immediate switch of locations. Nothing. Not to mention the bedrooms had TV's with no remotes in site. Half of the thermostats were literally taped onto the walls. Very misleading listing and will absolutely never recommend this stay to anyone. Highly disappointed considering the cost of the stay.

Beautiful property in the middle of a construction zone
We really enjoyed this property. They did a really nice job with the decor. It was super convenient to have a garage (detached) The approach was a little weird as the property is still in the middle of a construction zone. So, you drive up on a bumpy dirt road and the front entrance faces a chain link fence surrounding a massive dirt area where presumably more condos will be going up soon. But, that did not change the fact that once inside, it was comfortable. One thing that would be nice would be some instruction in how to use the television. There were a number of remotes present for the main television but none for those in some of the bedrooms. I never could figure out if there was local television. We were there during March madness and it would have been nice if we could relax and watch those games, but couldn’t. We finally were able to log in to our own Netflix account to have some fun evening diversion. Just fyi, there is no dining area to speak of in this unit. So, if you have a group, dinner will be around the kitchen counter or sitting in the living area. Finally, I would say, if you come expecting a hotel like experience, this is probably not the place. However, if you come expecting it to feel like you are borrowing your cool friends condo, then this is a good place for you. I wouldn’t call it the most professional experience, but the place was nice, and comfortable and we enjoyed our stay.

Great Stay on the edge of Georgetown
Overall this was a really nice place to stay. Right on the lake was great, although there is more wind here since there aren't really any trees to break it up. Everyone slept comfortably for the most part and kitchen had enough utensils to make meals easily. Garage parking was great to load up the family (including the infant) while being sheltered from the elements. Master bedroom TV had some issues but we managed without it. Only other downside was getting the key to get in. There are 2 lockboxes near the front door. The one on the post didn't work but the one mounted at the corner of the house worked out. Wish is was a digital lock to make that easier, but wasn't really a big deal at all. Was super easy to walk to the Cabin Creek Brewery (highly recommend) and the microtel for pool/hot tub. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks for a great family stay.

Slacker Half- Marathon Weekend
This was a great place to stay for our group that was in Gerogetown for the Slacker half-marathon race. The condo was loacted in a wonderful spot, close to town but not too close. I would suggest that there be some type of outdoor seating available for guests to access during their stay. Also, an early check out time of 10:00 seems a little early, most rentals ask that you are out by 11:00, espeically when chek-ins aren't until 4:00 too. Overall it was a great stay!

Nice addition to Georgetown
Perfect size and location for a few ski bum dad's and their 4 kids ranging from 9 to 16. Tight quarters, but hey u are there to enjoy the outdoors. Pool and hottub at the hotel was great, good hiking as always, great views...good food choices, have been staying in Georgetown over the last 25 years, nice to see the investment to the area to make it a easy ski connection to Loveland. Would recommend the owner add coat hooks along the stairwell and also supply some chairs outside in the area between garage and house.

Nice place, faulty HVAC
My boyfriend, Mom, daughter and her friend stayed here for 4 nights. Size wise, the place was great for us. Beds, bathrooms and the kitchen were comfortable. What we didn't like was the garage door was broken when we got there so they told us we couldn't use the garage (it was late December/early January, so that's a problem), both the upstairs and downstairs heaters didn't work right the entire time (upstairs was far too hot and downstairs never got warm enough, even with the faux fireplace on high), the ice maker didn't dispense ice (it makes ice just fine, just doesn't dispense) and the glassware available left something to be desired (only coffee mugs and wine glasses). I would stay here again if they got the HVAC fixed. The town of Georgetown is really neat and we did the historic train ride, which was a lot of fun! We skied in Loveland, which is very close and spent a day in Breckenridge, which was also a lot of fun (about an hour away).
