5th Ave Pond Side Retreat

clean, quiet out of the way accommodations

Host needs to make some improvements on this property before renting again. It was very hard to figure out which building was one that was booked for rental. Not the safest, as front door didn’t close correctly and had to be slammed in order to close each time, not always guaranteed unless locked from the inside. . Keypad hard to read to open except at night. Lots of people coming on and off the property and using amenities without letting renter know they were coming. Needs some maintenance for safety (burnt out outlets, broken floor tiles in kitchen, siding coming off outside to allow water to come inside, and possible mold on outlets. Microwave only halfway works (not all of the numbers were usable).There needs to be written instructions within the property for renters, as there wasn’t a lot of detail on using TV, where to park, etc. Unfortunately there were not a lot of amenities included for the price per night paid. VRBO needs to be better about refund policy and coordinate with host, especially when an emergency arises and you are not able to stay the entire time rented. VRBO says to contact host to amend dates and request partial refund, host says that VRBO won’t allow. Only positive was that host was very responsive to questions, they were kind enough to leave farm fresh eggs and there were animals to visit onsite,

We stayed here with our pup over the Thanksgiving week. Super cute place, very clean, had everything we needed. We loved that it is a bit out in the country, with lots of space for the doggo to roam and explore. Centrally located for easy travel to Windsor, Fort Collins, and Brighton. Juan was extremely nice and responsive. Would totally stay here again!

Great property, great host. Get the feel of open country while not far from amenities.

Fine
