About this house rental

THE GONZNAGEL GUESTHAUSE WILL REOPEN JULY 1st, 2024, as we will be working on landscaping and property maintenance until then. So get your reservations secured for high summer and fall and Thanksgiving, before the opportunity slips away. Remember: We have Internet (Skylink) and cell service--you can work from THIS home!! Or just come for a relaxing getaway and escape the crowds of the city and the I-70 corridor! Plan on a safe adventure here in our mountain paradise, with plenty of hiking and other outdoor activities. This cedar-sided three-bedroom mountain custom overlooks Deer Creek Valley, home to a herd of 160 elk, Great Blue Heron, deer, fox, coyote, several raptor species, and a panoply of birds and wildflowers. Nestled in a Ponderosa Pine forest and surrounded by landscaping and gardens (seasonal), this site serves as a scenic spot for small weddings, family reunions, gatherings of all types--or just relaxing in the fresh Rocky Mountain air. A fire pit, swing set and climbing structure, horseshoe pits, lounge chairs and a gas grill complete the comfortable yard overlooking 280 acres of elk meadow. Close to summer (Evergreen Lake) and winter sports (Summit County), and the best autumn color viewing in Colorado, the Bailey area is known for trout fishing, mountain bike trails, horseback riding, hiking and ATV adventures. Bailey town offers a brewery, winery, galleries and shopping, and the famous Sasquatch Outpost with two new large and furry bipeds! Lush house plants, tropical fish, an extensive library and DVD collection (including children's books and videos), original art, hardwood floors, and a great-room fireplace create a comfortable, homey atmosphere in this modern mountain home. A 6-burner gas range completes the chef's kitchen, part of the great room that overlooks mountain and meadow vistas. A Surround Sound entertainment center upstairs, and an additional ground level family room TV allow cable TV/DVD/VHS/CD/Internet access. The Master suite features a king-size flotation bed and a jetted tub and raindrop shower; garden level bedrooms contain a queen and a fold-out love-seat bed, and a queen Murphy bed. A caretaker on site attends to property maintenance, and is available to answer questions.

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Trice’s home. Lucky to see the elk heard 2 nights. Cries from the coyote pack were cool. A distant moose sprinting to the creek for a drink. Appreciated the binoculars! Hiked most days with a 20-35 min drive to trail heads. Nice abundance of puzzles, books, games with super starlink system which allowed my son to work efficiently. Kitchen was well equip, plenty of paper products and although we brought our seasonings and oil, there was salt, pepper and olive oil available. Although we were skeptical about the waterbed, we found it very comfortable and supportive. Quiet neighborhood. The owner bedroom felt awkward to have no window coverings given the caretaker house was overlooking the bedroom and the deck walkway was right out the windows. Water was nice and cold and got nice and hot, perfect! Loved our stay!!

We loved the secluded mountain views and property. The area was breathtaking. The children’s play area and meadow provided endless possibilities to explore. We loved being able to roam and take in the mountain air and sunshine. My kids and I went on many walks and spent time exploring the creek. The deck was delightful and we enjoyed eating lunch there and watching/listening to the elk. The house is eclectic and cozy. It felt like a “home” and was well stocked. The dinning table, two bar seats, and couches provided ample room to cook, eat, and enjoy each others company. The couches were very comfortable. We enjoyed the shelves of children’s books, the movies, and the pianos. We also played many of the board games provided and found it fun to play some we don’t own at home. The one downside to the property was the beds. Our family prefers traditional mattresses to the floatation (water) bed in the master and air mattress in the basement. We would love to return to enjoy all the beauty Bailey has to offer. This is a beautiful spot to rest and relax.

From the moment I booked the stay, Trice has been wonderful! Sending photos, directions, attractions and lists of activities to do around the home. All centered around the ages of people in our family. So very thoughtful! Now, about the home, this is the cabin you wish you had in the family. Nestled into the valley of beautiful, scenic and tranquil mountains. What TV?? Ya, you won't want to use it when you stay here! The windows have the best picture! The wrap around porch is where we parked while enjoying our time at the house. All the amenities you would want and have in your own home. We lacked nothing. All in all, 10 out of 10! We will only stay here when we make our next trip out. Thanks to Trice and how we were made to feel like family, plus the beauty of the home and surroundings, we will be back! Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable! You are the best.

We loved our stay! The hosts were so incredibly welcoming and friendly, communicative, and I cannot thank them enough. There are wonderful views all around the home, and plenty of wildlife. Hummingbirds, elk, and all kinds of songbirds. The home was clean, comfortable, and we truly enjoyed our stay. Bailey is a very cute town, and though at first we were a little worried that we’d be in too small a town, we found that wasn’t the case at all. There were places to shop, great restaurants, and a friendly community. It was only half an hour to Red Rocks Amphitheater, and about an hour from Denver, and in that hour we found plenty to see and do and it was not a hassle at all. I can’t recommend this home enough. We’ll be back next year!

We had a wonderful time in this lovely home, it was everything and more we excepted from the pictures and the description. Trice made sure we knew where everything was and gave the perfect welcoming tour! If we had a questions she had the answers. Her knowledge of the area was great and helped us out. The home is warm and inviting and we are hoping to get back next year. The grounds keeper Janet was nice and helpful and you didn't even know she was there till you needed her. I really can't say enough about this property! It's a little piece of heaven and so peaceful! It was exactly what we were looking for! Thank you Trice, Lou and Janet! Mary and the gang!
