When we walked to the owner's property on the 3rd floor in the evening with our heavy items, including groceries for dinner and water, we found the baggage of others and the TV turned on. We asked the owner about the situation, and she said she got double booked because of some errors by Vrbo. We had to find other accommodations to stay at the spot in front of the building, shivering in the cold, with our starving three kids. We called Vrbo but were put on hold for over 30 minutes. When we finally did get connected to an operator, the line was disconnected before we could fully explain our situation. They did not even call us back. We eventually had to stay in the 2-star hotel that we definitely did not want to visit and started to make our dinner at 10 pm. In the hectic situation that night, the owner texted us to request to cancel this trip on our end for fear of affecting her metrics. How dare you. We wasted our precious time, effort, gas, and mileage of our cars. On top of that, Vrbo and the owner ruined our family reunion. How will Vrbo and the owner compensate us for this terrible experience on our trip?

Beautiful walks in the neighborhood. Wonderful lake view from the home.

The location was perfect right near the pool and overlooking the lake and mountain. The unit was clean. Even though you couldn’t go in the lake because of dredging we still could rent a boat and the kids still enjoyed playing in the sand. There were some bikes there for us to enjoy as well. It was a very nice long weekend.

We had a lovely 3 night 4 day stay on Lake Boulder. The location is awesome, from unit to pool is seconds away, a bit longer walk to beach pool and lake beach access
What didn’t we like; the furniture and appliances are all dated and a bit tired. Ice maker and washer did not work, we just bought a bag of ice and only laundry was sheets as we were leaving. If we stayed all week this would have been a hardship.
Kim was great to work with. If appliances and furniture are updated would go back in a heartbeat.

While the property was very nice we were extremely disappointed with the fact that the lake was “closed” for swimming and boating. We booked a lake house and just having a pool left us unhappy

We had a wonderful time at the condo this summer. We loved the view from the balcony and how close we were to the pool. I love this community because it is so clean and they just added EV chargers this year! Property owner was easy to chat with and helpful. Great stay!

Great place for three couples to stay. Each is somewhat separated with private bath. Right in front of the pool and and boulder lake. Close to lake harmony. Advertised as sleeps 8 but would only do that with children as they’d be sleeping on the couch or air mattress. The house has three queen or king beds in

The condo itself was nice. Disappointed not being able to swim in the lake. The tiki bar was not open and being renovated. Rented kayaks but many spots you could stand up in water up to your knees. Pool was nice. Owner responsive when tv had issues. Wish we had known before we booked that the lake was not what we expected due to dam repairs. Price way too high for lack of amenities that were expected.

We stayed at the condo for one weekend as a getaway for a group of 6 friends. We all enjoyed the living space, including the high ceilings, interesting design and fun decor! The kitchen was functional, living room was cozy, bathrooms were clean and the beds were comfy! The condi was close to parks, dining, and of course the lake! Kim was great through the whole process- always easy to reach and proactive in welcoming us. Definitely highly recommend!

The property was clean kitchen was well stocked. The owner was very attentive text me several times to make sure everything was Okay. The weather was not on our side during our stay, the lake was very cold so it was nice to have a heated swimming pool available for my family.

The View is amazing ,especially at night when the moon's light shines over the lake. The pictures on site are accurate both interior and exterior . There is plenty of room to relax within the living area .The unit is located within a short drive of several places to eat . The pool is well maintained ,as it the grounds of the complex . Although not the owners responsibility the stairwells going to each floor need to cleaned better.

The lake and pool are beautiful! Perfect location. Access to the lake club was nice to have. The unit is big. There are three kings, a futon, and a twin sized pull out couch. Sheets will be needed for the couch and futon. Fits 8 people comfortably. Our first day though, we realized the AC was broken. The condo was up to 85°+ that day. After waiting a few hours and the temperature climbing, they provided us fans to get going throughout the house and was provided with a portable air conditioning unit. HVAC came two different days and concluded that the unit was broke. They provided two more portable air conditioners the second night. We did get a small refund (about 10%) for our trouble. She did say the unit is now fixed though for future guests. There was no canoe and kayak available by the condo as originally stated in our email, but she did say she’d pay for one at the club if we wanted (not as convenient, so we passed). The kitchen could use baking pans and sharp knives. The front door was busted, looks like maybe it was kicked in at some point. Kim was accessible via text. A little pricey for what we got compared to what family got in a similar condo for much less and no inconveniences.

Overall my experience was wonderful! Kim made the entire process very easy to navigate from check in instructions to check out instructions! The atmosphere was super friendly and definitely very inviting. My family and I went for a brief getaway but felt like we were home in our own oasis. The property amenities were pretty much set up and ready for your family to have a worry free stay! The decor of the home we also love! (WE'RE ARTSY) So we loved the art flow from room to room. The views from the property were just amazing as well. When you stay...Open your curtains and gaze from the balcony and you'll see exactly what I mean! Thank you Kim for a great experience
