94 Ryan Gulch Road

We had a group of 10 people and were very pleased with the stay. There was ample room for all of us and we made plenty of use of the hot tub. The biggest issue was caused by the lack of parking. We were only allowed to park in the garage and the driveway. Getting that many people up to Silverthorne while still letting some be able to travel back on their own meant we had to leave a couple of cars in Silverthorne's overnight parking lots. Otherwise a great stay for several nights.

We apologize for any inconveniences caused by the parking. Restrictions are set by the HOA and we are not able to make exceptions. We're happy to see that you still enjoyed your stay and the hot tub!

DO NOT stay here if you:
1. Plan to use the advertised hot tub
2. Enjoy the use of a working refrigerator
3. A comfortable master bed is important to you
4. Place importance on having running water during your stay

Yes, all of these things were a problem, and I am convinced management knew of them beforehand!

We got to the home around 10:30pm. By 11:00 we realized there was NO RUNNING WATER! Luckily my husband was able to get into the utility room (laden with mouse traps and feces) to fix this issue. During this time, I made a call to the emergency number, left a message, and was never contacted by anyone regarding it...NEVER!

The next morning I realized the refrigerator in the kitchen was running at 59 degrees and sent a text. Maintenance came out, gave a lame excuse, and said just to use the one in the garage.

The bed in the master is so terrible that we took the mattress off of the sofa bed to get a little bit of comfort after feeling like sleeping on the floor would have been better the first night of our stay!

And to top it all off, the hot tub was 1/3 full of cold water! I was informed that just the day before it had been serviced and there was a leak found but never reported. Highly unlikely...

The home is very spacious although pretty dated, the kitchen is well stocked, and having three parking spots is a nice bonus, but for the issues that we incurred it’s not worth the amount of money we paid. Management did nothing but send texts asking how our stay was, but did nothing to fix the problems that we had.

Please don’t disregard this review as just some angry renter in the same way I did before the purchase. All of these issues are more than valid and should be rectified before this house is rented out again. If you do rent, bring lots of sugar (and maybe some Tito’s) for the lemonade ��

This is not the experience that we hope to provide to guests, and we appreciate you bringing these issues to our attention. We want to sincerely apologize for the lack of running water, and we regret that our emergency response did not meet your expectations.

Regarding the refrigerator and the hot tub, we apologize for the inconveniences that this caused and are working to ensure these are repaired as soon as possible. Your comfort is our priority, and it’s unacceptable that you had to deal with such inconveniences. We’re glad to hear that you appreciated the space and amenities like the kitchen supplies and parking, but we recognize that the overall experience did not reflect our standards.

We had a wonderful time at the property. It is situated close to town, trailheads, golf, etc... The house was exactly what we needed, incredibly spacious and well-kept. The attentiveness of Summit County Mountain Retreats was awesome.

Our stay at this home was an overall very good experience and we would stay here again. The entire house (areas accessible to guests) was very clean and made for a comfortable stay. Some of the furniture, particularly in the lower level is showing its age, and the mattress in the master bedroom was beyond firm and very uncomfortable, otherwise this house actually feels like a home, not a rental, which was much appreciated. The views out both the front and back of the house were gorgeous.

Very great location, big house with some great amenities. Stayed here with 7 friends and was a blast. The water had an issue, and the rental company immediately dispatched someone to fix it, so that was great.

Only thing I'd say for improvement is to leave a few more little things to help the stay so we don't have to run to the store - e.g. more garbage bags, salt, etc. Otherwise, thanks!

We were so impressed with the size, location, and cleanliness of this home. We needed a place to stay near Silverthorne that could hold nine of us comfortably. The open concept layout had a large kitchen, eating area, and living room that was more space than we needed. The hot tub was a nice bonus. We were thankful to have so many bathrooms as well. The restaurants in the Silverthorne and Dillon area were outstanding also. The view of the mountains in the backyard is breathtaking. Thank you for a beautiful home where we could relax and enjoy our stay.

House was a described and worked well. The icemaker was not working and maintenance was unable to repair.

Thanks for the review. We will look at the ice maker.

We were here with another family and this was a great space to hang out together. There were plenty of bedrooms to also allow everyone their own space. The kitchen was spacious with and stocked well with supplies. The house had gorgeous views of mountains and looking down on the city. We were able to enjoy the hot tub and hiking right outside the back patio.

Thank you so much Glenda for the perfect rating. That is exactly what we like to hear!

Summit County Mountain Retreats staff

This location exceeds expectation and is perfect for big groups or large families. It’s setting is literally idyllic as it’s walls of windows lets in the sunlight and views of the mountains from nearly every angle, Lake Dillon, tree tops from the upper bedroom - it’s dreamy. Rain snow or fog only enhances the experience. If you want to crash and relax a few days with games by a fireplace or hub to exciting ski destinations it’s your best bet. Well kept and clearly loved by its owners. We’d return.

Overall this property Is a pretty comfortable. It has 4 bedrooms spread across 3 floors, with a large open concept first floor kitchen – dinning – living room. It is in a very beautiful natural setting surrounded by mountain peaks, with a dramatic view of Tenmile Peak from the back two-story window. The home is located in a community of other homes with a bike path in the front and hiking trail off the back of the home. There are homes on either side of this property, but the feel is very secluded, and outdoorsy. The property backs up to a pine and aspen forested area.
The house is in need of some repairs. Nothing that would be a dealbreaker, but should be factored in determining the value. Some of the sliding doors are difficult to open, and there is no screen on a bedroom door. Some of the kitchen appliances and faucets are wobbly. Likewise the flooring is a bit thread-bear.
The back patio is small, and is poorly furnished. The back of the house faces south and there is no patio umbrella or protection form the sun. There is a simple 4 person bistro table, with just 2 chairs, which is insufficient for a home that could accommodate 8 plus people.
So the home needs some improvements, but overall it is a clean comfortable space.

The photos are an accurate representation of the home, the living areas and kitchen are very spacious, the home is well kept, well appointed, great TV's and hot-tub, would stay here again. Just make sure you are okay with how the bedrooms are laid out (multiple beds in some rooms, most of the sleeping capacity is in the basement which is almost like an in-laws suite with it's own living area and mini-kitchen). Otherwise awesome home. One other quirk about the home is the garage door opener is not provided nor is a code, so getting into the home can be a real pain in snow, you have to go up steep stairs to front door, take off shoes, carry shoes downstairs, put shoes on, then go out to car. Remotes are cheap to replace, never had a rental that the opener wasn't included, not sure why this was overlooked, but it was the only negative about the property.

Thank you for sharing your much-valued feedback with us.We are happy that you had a good experience overall, but we are sorry to see that you are upset about garage door opener. However, we do not provide garage door openers since they go missing more times than not and we do not provide the code for a security reason. We will review that procedure and see how we can implement your feedback that works best for all parties. Thank you again for your review, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Great spot for access to a number of ski mountains. The home is lovely and was a great fit for our group. Plenty of space to hang out together or for a bit of down time. The home was generally well appointed and the owner and management company were extremely responsive. We would definitely go back.
