 "We're back at home after a wonderful time in Breckenridge where we all enjoyed the comfort of your lovely home and the beauty that surrounds. Except for a few hailstorms, the weather was perfect. We were pleased to be greeted by Nancy shortly after we arrived; she was very attentive throughout our stay. We especially appreciated your gift of wine - a welcoming gesture enjoyed by all. Flo's visit with fresh towels was appreciated as well. Thanks from everyone. " - TJ B., Houston, Te, 08/19/2008

 "THere were 10 of us in your lovely house and we loved it! We never felt crowded and we each found our own perfect corner of heaven - the kids playing pool, the grandparents in the hot-tub, the readers cozied up on the couches and the sunlovers on the deck in the morning with their coffees. Everything was wonderful! There were 3 generations and we were celebrating a number of birthdays. Brenda from Munich, Germany Maria - when I made the reservations for this trip, I didn't know what to expect of the house but it beat my expectations by a mile. The location and spaciousness of the house were perfect! We were able to spend a lot of time in the house together since the cooking facilities, game room and theater gave us what we needed! The weather was fantastic. Try Kodi Rafting or Christy Sports for bike rentals. Breck Stables was great for horseback riding. Lynn - Colorado Namaste! love to our extended family! Gerald and Vicki." - Leadley family, Germany and Colorado, 07/04/08
"Your house is lovely... the river, the hot tub, the fire pit. We had a wonderful time celebrating a special 40th birthday. Family and friends from Maine, New York and Colorado enjoyed everything. There's nothing better than a fire by the river. Really loved the Opa music in the CD player. We hope we put everything in the right place. Exaristo poli!" - Mari, , 06/04/08
"Sunday in Serenity - thank you for sharing your lovely mountain home. It's been a beautiful retreat with glorious surroundings surpassed only by your gracious hospitality. May you enjoy sharing this special place with family and friends for years to come. Blessings to all who stay here." - Wiechert, Nebraska, 05/18/08
"Just got back from an excellent week skiing in Breckenridge made even better by the stay at this house. The location to the slopes and the town was great. Even though we didn't use the free shuttle, knowing it was there in case people wanted to get back early helped. The house was extremely comfortable and well laid out. The hot tub allowed for relaxing evenings after a hard days skiing and the media room and pool table meant there was always something to do. The bedrooms are very comfortable with plenty of space. The heated double garage meant we didn't have to spend the mornings cleaning the cars before heading to the slopes. Even though we have over a foot and a half of snow in 2 days the drives and roads were kept clear enough to drive. Great house, great location. Thanks P Dixon and Party (UK) 01/03/08 " - Phil D., Basingstoke, Ha, 03/01/2008
"Thank you for the rental of your fantastic house. The wedding was beautiful and the house was perfect for the brunch. We were very comfortable and everything worked out exactly as planned. We contacted the snow removal company and they were most accomodating. They took care of ice build-up on the sidewalks and even shoveled snow from the deck so pictures could be taken outside. Kudos to them. We did, however, break two of the blue glasses and would like to replace them. We will send pictures of the wedding as soon as we get them from the photographer. Again, thanks for accomodating all of us for this memorable week. " - James N., Parker, CO, 02/23/2008

We left our contibution to the casino:) Great Vacation!!! " - Little Family, Austin, TX, 02/11/08
"Just got back from two glorious nights here and it was amazing. The accommodations were delightful and I think it is safe to say we blew Craig's "trips to the hot tub" record right out of the water! The reading room was most pleasant for quiet contemplation and the open kitchen/living area was perfect for light-hearted conversation and mild ribaldry over dinner and drinks. The basement was a hit for those night owls among us, and Haven must have the record for most time spent in the home theater watching Flubber. Truly a memorable treat! " - Tyler K., Boulder, CO, 01/27/2008

"Dear Maria and Bill. We are here with four couples from WV. You have a beautiful home with a great location. We fished in the stream below, golfed, shopped, did horseback riding, walking, shopping etc. The weather was beautiful. We have a home in Snowshoe Mt but nothing compares to this. Thanks for sharing your house with us. We will miss the sound of the river at night." - Goodwin, Bartsch, Bowen, Charleston, WV, 08/11/07

"Our family has had a long standing tradition of vacationing together every summer. My brother and Ihave both married and each of us have two children. Our group of four has grown to ten. We visited Breckenridge four years ago and fell in love. We've been back every summer! We love everything about this town - slower pace, beautiful surroundings and all of the outdoor activities. Depsite having spent ten days here thus far, the time ha passed much too quickly. Our days have been filled with so many fun adventures. We've gone hiking, white water rafting, shopping, golfing, Alpine sliding, day tripping, boating and riding the trolley and bus. Most of our evenings have been spent at this beautiful house enjoying home-cooked meals. (My mom is an amazing cook!). We have enjoyed everything about this house and have taken full advantage of all that it offers. The theatre and play area downstairs hae been great for the kids. And we have all enjoyed winding down in the jacuzzi after a busy day. What fun we had roasting marshmallows in the firepit down by the river! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. " - Beck family, TX, 08/15/06
"We enjoyed your beautiful mountain home immensely. Lots of room for everyone - 4 kids and 8 adults. The theatre room, pool table, hot tub, firepit and The Blue were all great amenities. Everyone enjoyed the deck once the rains stopped. Even the little ones asked "will we ever get to come back here again?" Thanks for sharing with us! " - Garrett, , 07/29/06
"We had a wonderful week up in the moutains. We went rafting, horseback riding and on the Alpine slide. We didn't want the trip to end. We enjoyed your beautiful home, also loved the pool table and movie room but the hot tub was the best. Thanks." - VonLintel Family, Kentucky, Denver, 07/16/06
"Closing out 2 fabulous weeks at River's Edge with family and friends from Wisconsin, Virginia, West Virginia, California and Florida. Highlights included: trout fishing at Hoosier Pass with kids. Limit of 4. Adults need license; sailing on Lake Dillon. Boats available for hire with captain for $80 per hour; Bike ride to Frisco, rent at shop next to City Market; Copper Mountain all day pass. A big hit for 7 - 12 year olds, okay for older teens (14-15), buy discounted passes at "the mountains" on Main Street in Friso; Listening to Dotsero, a fabulous jazz band from Denver at Genuine Jazz Fest; hikes (get a copy of Summit Hike book from Hamlets on Main street); Ice skating a big hit for all the kids - consider buying a punch pass if you have a large group, there are hike/bike trails behind the skating rink, easy walk from house; Gold Mine and Country Boy Mine tours; swimming at rec center and rock climbing; NRO performances at night and free rehearsals during the day; frisbee golf in frisco; home cooked meals with friends and family;" - Weisnicht/Vlacos families, CA, VA, WI, WV, FL, LA, 07/01/06
 "Maria and Bill Thank you so much for sharing your little slice of heaven with us. Your house is spacious, beautiful and in the perfect setting. Craig definitely holds the record for the most trips to the hot tub! Sailing at Lake Dillon was a treat and our hike around Old Dillon Reservoir was a treat and the perfect length and altitude. Thanks for your generosity." - Tolbert, New Orleans, LA, 06/16/06
"My family chose this place to celebrate my 70th birthday. we had a wonderful time. The setting of your home is excellent." - Townes Family, , 06/14/06
"You don't need a reason to come and enjoy the spectacular mountain views and sunsets anytime of the year. Once you arrive at River's Edge you feel at home. There are many activities around the town of Breckenridge not mention the fabulous skiing. Please don't miss the opportunity to experience this home and area year round. The house has something for everyone. Can't wait for my next trip here with family and friends." - M.A. Roose, Gulf Breeze, FL, 05/14/06
"A great girls get-away weekend. Sit on the deck in short sleeve t-shirts and throw snowballs at your friends! A great time of the year to really relax. We were surprised how much there was to do in this area. There are bike trails all the way to Vail, plenty of shop to rent bikes, hiking paths near the house. Definitely sit by the river in the spring and summer. A beautiful comfortable home with too many amenities to list." - Buechler, Pensacola, FL, 05/14/06
"We were all amazed by the beauty of your home. The pictures on the website do not do your home justice. Everything in the house exceeded our expectations and the location was perfect. We would all love to come back again in the future. If you go shopping at Silverthorne, try and eat at the Sunshine Cafe. Its open until 3pm, the food is amazine and very reasonably priced. Again, thanks for a lovely holiday in your wonderful home. " - Jones family, UK, 04/01/06
 "We had a large group and the house was perfect. Beautiful setting, great skiing. Everyone had a great time!" - Driller family, St. Charles MO, 03/25/06
"WOW! At one point there were 17 people in the house and the place swallowed all of us! Adults upstairs, kids downstairs. Perfect. Skiing was super. Take the Super 8 cross-connect to Vista Haus. Then come down 4 O'Clock trail to town. You catch the Brown bus to Trafalger stop and you're home in 15 minutes. A perfect way to end the day. Extreme Pizza was a hit - the "Cellar" was a miss in a big way. But definitley do the Chocolate Factory on Main Street. What a great town, what great company, what a great place to stay! Thanks for everything." - Larimer family, Pensacola, 03/16/06
"There is a great resale shop in Frisco (next to Walmart) - Recyle Ski & Sport. Go there to get extra ski clothes and gear. Check it out. Snowshoeing at Breckenridge Nordic Center up on Ski Hill Road was quite beautiful - a wonderful walk in the woods. Check out Blue River Sports for ski rentals. Its across the street from Peak 8 Quicksilver and Beaver Run lifts. If you reserve your equipment online ahead of time you get a discount and they have your equipment ready for you. They get you in and out in 20 minutes. blueriversports dot com" - Vlacos, Alameda, CA, 03/15/06
"My first trip to Breckenridge. Y'all at Paragon have made it exceptional. This house is awesome; comfortable with a great location. Thanks a lot." - Perini, Virginia, 03/05/06
"Great time, great friends, great skiing. The house was fantastic. Follow the heating instructions as the floors and fireplaces put out a lot of heat! Steak and Rib had decent food but the service for a large group was awful. Paragon Lodging did a fantastic job of taking care of every request we had. We used Black Tie Ski Rentals. They were amazing - they bring everything right to your door and pick with no in-store hassles. Its a few dollars more a day but without a doubt worth it. 970-547-4416." - , Woodstock, GA, 02/23/06
 "We absolutely LOVED the house!!! The pictures you had sent beforehand do not give justice to just how beautiful the house really is! Everyone loved the decorations, layout, furniture and bedrooms. The trip definitely exceeded our expectations. The group went snowboarding in Breckenridge on Thursday and then drove to Vail on Friday. It was very convenient catching the bus to downtown Breck. The location was exactly what we were hoping for. Although it didn't really snow that much the conditions were great and it wasn't too crowded. We definitely enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. Everyone enjoyed staying in the living room upstairs more than the downstairs screening room. It was just more cozy and comfortable sitting around the couches and fireplace there. I think we spent majority of our time between the kitchen and living room area. We are already talking about next year. Thanks" - Shen party, Virginia, 02/11/06
"There are 13 of us staying here for a week. We absolutely love it! Beautiful home! Great throws for the couches too. We are from Houston and Boston. This was our second trip to Breckenridge and we all really enjoyed ourselves. The floor plan is perfect, even for young children or teenagers. And it is a really quick trip to Peak 9. We also had the youngest two on sleds in front of the house one day. Thanks!" - Barcelo family, , 01/01/06
