1st off we had a good time in Steamboat, plenty to do in summer. The rest though just doesn't add up to the few reviews left here. The place is nicely renovated sure, but spacious? NO. The kitchen has plates, cups, coffee maker, toaster etc but well equipped? NO. If you plan to cook basically anything aside from a frozen pizza here, youre going shopping for beyond what you brought, no seasoning, oil, basic basic things that literally every other place we stay across our beautiful state has at least some stocked. There is a pantry area full of said essentials, but it is locked for "owners only" - Brad Luth. He was kind enough to offer to go get what we needed, and we did decline, but think about it... -yeah we need salt, pepper, oil, sugar, etc...- we opted to get it all ourselves instead of waiting for an owner who only responded after a message via vrbo, text and call.
LASTLY, THIS IS A HUUUGE ONE FOR US. The king size bed was easily the most uncomfortable bed we have ever slept on. It feels literally like an extremely stiff spring board and the pillows are either hard and flat or so loosely filled with feathers that they do nothing. When on a staycay with your family and you sleep awful because of a terrible bed, it really really takes away from the trip. We will not return.
We only had three people, but four would be the absolute maximum amount of people that could comfortably stay here. It is near downtown, but NOT within walking distance unless you want to walk for an hour along the highway.
This review is very critical, and usually I just deal with it, but the other reviews to us seem fabricated because our time there was almost completely opposite of what is said in reviews and the listing.
