Summary: This property is amazing! The views are stunning with all the windows and multiple patios in all the right places. Just beautiful! And we loved the inside of the home. Beautifully decorated And extremely well lighted! A perfect amount of furniture that was all comfortable. Amazing closets. Perfectly clean! I am a clean freak and very hard to please and this home was so very clean! The biggest surprise was how well stocked it was. In all my rentals I have never stayed in a place that was this well stocked. Anything you could ever need. And an amazing kitchen stock! The hosts were prompt and friendly and we loved the gift basket that was left for us. We will definitely be staying at the hands down retreat again sometime. We miss it already!

Summary: We were looking for somewhere that had plenty of space for cooking, playing games and relaxing all together. Boy did we find it! The fenced in yard was fantastic for keeping an eye on little kids and the kitchen had everything we could ever need. Melissa and Charles were very responsive and even left a sweet welcome package. Super close to the Winter Park, road to Ski Apache and the Flying J Ranch. Look no further, stay here!

Summary: Hands Down is a wonderful and beautiful home. It was the perfect size and has a great outdoor space. I wanted a place with a hot tub because we had two teenage girls with us and the adults spent more time in it then the kids. The kitchen had everything you need to cook and great grill on the back patio. Look forward to staying there again.
