We came up to ski & ring in the new year. This property is absolutely amazing! It accommodated two families of 5 and we had more than enough room! The house had more than enough linens, etc! The kitchen was amazingly stocked! The location is unbeatable 3 minutes or less walk to the lift. This home is well loved and you can tell, we loved it too! Thank you for the great memories.

We loved everything about the property, it fit the entire family, was close to slope it easy to ski in and get back to the house afterwards, easy to get in town, and the kitchen was by far the best stocked I’ve ever stayed at in a Rental! The house was cozy clean and perfect. We would definitely come again.

Our group of 11 had a wonderful time and had plenty of space to spread out. We really enjoyed cooking large family meals in the kitchen. It was stocked exceptionally well and we had everything we needed. The property has been lovingly maintained and the communication with both the owner and property manager was excellent. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family!

Beautiful and clean property with all of the amenities for a large group. Location seemed very private even though there are other properties near by. . Beautiful views and short drive to slopes and to town. Kitchen well stocked with high end cooking supplies. 3 stories plus the garage house worked well for our group of 14. Plenty of common space for gathering but still provided everyone space to spread out. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Only downside was no Air Conditioning which was fully disclosed. Got a bit hot inside, which was expected in late July, but box fans provided made it tolerable. Really enjoyed the stay.

We have an annual trip where we, as an extended family, pick a destination and rent through VRBO. We've done this for 16 years now. Our vacation this year was one of the very best. This property has it all. Easily fit our family of 11. We've never seen a kitchen so properly stocked with all the necessary cooking pots/pans/dishware, etc. Great trip!

This home was spectacular. Everything you could ever want/need is provided. We were in Steamboat for a wedding. With all of the wedding preparations, we did not have time to enjoy sitting outside or the hot tub. We are from Ohio and the two bedrooms with kitchenette over the garage was perfect for the grandchildren and their parents who needed to adjust to the time zone change allowing the rest of the family to visit in the evening and sleep in the morning. If we ever get to Steamboat again this is the property I would definitely stay at.

We appreciated the layout, furnishings, and location. This is a very nice ski house with comfortable bedding, terfific kitchen and large gathering rooms. Storage of skis in garage was convenient. Walk to Thunderhead Lift was a nice warmup to the ski day. We would go back again!

This house was perfect for our annual cousins' ski trip. The proximity to Thunderhead chair made it easy to get lots of people to and from the slopes each day. It was tastefully decorated and more than well appointed - there were more towels and linens than I've ever seen in a vacation rental. The kitchen was a chef's dream with everything we needed for our nightly family dinners, and all 12 of us could sit around the dining table. Just inside the lower entrance where boots come off there is a boot dryer/warmer that holds 12 pairs of boots or gloves, a game changer! Carol, the owner, and Joe, the property manager, were very responsive and proactively ensured we had all the information when we needed it. Stay here if you can!

What a wonderful week at your Spruce Blend vacation home in the Boat! 11 of us all together had plenty of room to relax and unite. From gathering around the beautiful kitchen island in the mornings to playing games at the dining table in the evenings, Spruce Blend accomodated all of us to our every need. The location, the views, and the home layout was to be admired. We easily fell in love with it. My cousins family of 6 combined with our own family of 5 to enjoy time together, skiing and relaxing. Thank you, we would so lucky to return.

This property is better than advertised! Thank you!

This is the third time I've gone to Steamboat Springs to host customers. This property is the best we've had. I commented several times while I was there about how well it was furnished. There were plenty of linens. A wide variety of pots/pans/dishes. Also, the beds were super comfy. I will definitely try booking this house again next time! Thank you Carol.

If it’s available book it….

Just as advertised. Very clean, organized and well stocked with dishes and appliances for big groups. Lots of sleeping options for adults and kids, the 2 bedroom apartment above the garage was perfect for our teenage sons. Ski/snowboard storage in the garage and boot and glove dryer a bonus as well.

Great location, every possible amenities, accommodates very comfortably a large group. A definite place to return to.

We stayed here in August for a family vacation (8 adults, 4 kids (7 months to 4 years). The house and surroundings are beautiful! The extra space over the garage (2 more bedrooms) was great to give some family members a little quiet away from the kids. The kitchen was very well appointed and the beds were comfortable. It was very hot that week and some family members found it to be uncomfortable even at night. It did cool off the last night of our stay so I think this would only be an issue a couple of weeks out of the year. Overall, I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this property!

We came to Steamboat as part of a family reunion. There were 12 of us staying at the house (including 3 young kids) and we all fit very comfortably. The house has the most well-appointed kitchen I’ve seen in a rental - they really did have everything you could possibly need. There was a long dining table that fit us all and a lovely screened porch and outdoor space. The suite over the garage was also really nice. Do note that the house does not have A/C and, as we were staying there in early August, it did get quite hot, especially in the upstairs bedrooms. There were several box and ceiling fans, though, and all the windows were screened so could be opened at night as things cooled off. I might suggest adding a couple more fans for those really hot days. Otherwise, the house was absolutely perfect and we would definitely stay there again on our next trip to Steamboat!

The house was beautiful, comfortable, with a well stocked kitchen! The 2 dishwashers was great for our family of 15…& we really appreciated the double decker waffle maker! Beds were so comfy & each bedroom had it’s own TV! Definitely recommend this property & we can only imagine how fantastic it is for a winter ski trip! ❤️❤️❤️

The home was beautifully maintained and well stocked. Everybody was so comfortable and the views were incredible. The only negative was just timing. The helicopters were flying from 4 AM throughout the day and the trucks started up the road around the same time so it was incredibly noisy. Obviously we were only there for a week but I feel badly for the people who live there permanently until the gondola is built. In spite of the noise, steamboat provided a wonderful family vacation

Beautiful home had every single thing we needed. The kitchen was so well equipped that we cooked in for every meal; waffle maker, griddle, every size pot and pan and a large grill. Each room has its own bathroom with more than enough towels. And it was so nice to have paper products, laundry detergent and other basics provided. The kids loved the bunk bed room and the bunk beds downstairs. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. We could not have asked for anything more. The host and the caretaker were so quick to respond to every single question. And the hot tub was the perfect way to end our days. Conveniently located to downtown Steamboat Springs and hiking trails. There is not one negative thing to say about this property. We were all so sad to leave!

I hosted 11 family members from out of town at this property, and it worked out perfectly! Ample bedroom space, multiple commons area, and a well-equipped kitchen. The pictures on VRBO accurately represented the space, so the space worked exactly as planned and hoped. Check in and access to the home was seamless, and communication with the host was clear and easy. An excellent experience!

This property was perfect for 3 families to vacation together. Plenty of space for together time but also room to spread out and let people “do their own thing”. The home had absolutely EVERYTHING we needed and then some - kitchen utensils, cooking dishes, double oven, double dishwasher, two washer/dryer units. Location was beautiful and secluded, but also quick to get to everything local in Steamboat. It was easy to call this a home away from home for a week. Thanks for sharing your property!!!

We had a group of 4 families which included 8 adults and 8 children. The house could not have been more perfect. Plenty of space to spread out. Fantastic views. Extremely clean. Most well stocked kitchen and linen closets I have ever seen in a rental! We will be back ASAP!!

This was our second stay at this property and it was as remembered, close to perfect. The location is an easy flat walk to the lift. The house is remarkably well stocked with both kitchen supplies as well as paper supplies. We had 3 families with 7 kids ages 10-14. Having the outside apartment for our teenaged girls was a true bonus. Joe, the property manager, was always accessible by text message if there was anything that we needed including advice. If I could give one negative (which I’m leery to do) I’d say it’d be the lack of shuttle service to town. We, however had a really fun time walking to town on a pretty day. At a nice pace the uphill walk home is around minutes. Thank you Carol and Joe! We love your house!

Wonderful property, excellent host and perfect for our group! Exactly as described. Will definitely stay here again!

Home is beautiful and has a big advantage being off Thunderhead lift (thus avoiding the main base). Not truly ski-in/out although very close. The communication with the owner/caretaker was excellent and very easy to work with. Would not recommend the lower-level bunk rooms for adults as they are twin sized beds. However, the house is overall in very great shape, has a very "homey" feel and is located in a good spot (although not on bus route). Would recommend / stay again.

Great location on the mountain. Walking distance to Thunderhead lift. Property was clean. Should note that the photographer who took the images for the ad on VRBO did a wonderful job. The bedrooms are much smaller in person. Otherwise great stay.

This house proved to be the perfect spot for a vacation with our extended family. The home is spacious, well stocked (the kitchen has allll the gadgets), and comfortable. Did I mention the thoughtful wall of boot warmers in the entryway?? The property manager was responsive. The whole stay was just lovely.

Our Christmas stay at this home was picture PERFECT. This home had everything our family needed and MORE. We had fourteen people stay at this home during Christmas week, the two dishwashers, double trashcans, two washing machines and dryers made our cleanup so much easier. The house had plenty of room (even if you needed to get some quiet time). The views out the windows were beautiful. We are so very grateful to Ms. Carol and her family for there pursuit to making our dreams come true. I would recommend this home 100%. Blessings, Tammy

Booked this beautiful home for a family reunion, (my children, grandchildren and myself), for a week in December. Not much snow until late in the week but we still had a great time. The home is comfortable, well equipped and has plenty of room for everyone. I can hardly wait until next winter. But I think I'll book in January. More snow! Thank you Carol for a perfect time 😊

We had a moose & baby walk through yard. Fried fish on screened in deck one night & a bear came by. Plenty of room for everyone & look forward to another stay!!!

Great home for family to getaway to. Clean, spacious, well supplied, and very comfortable. A couple of us were in the SBT GRVL bike race and the garage was great for storing bikes. We enjoyed this home.

This was. a wonderful house for our August three generational family reunion. Twelve of us stayed in the house and even with eight others coming from town to dinner, we didn't feel crowded---between the long dinner table and the comfortable adjacent living room we retained the desired togetherness. In addition to excellent appliances (stove, refrig, fancy microwave, and two dishwashers),, the kitchen contained every possible cooking pan, plenty of nice dinnerware, coffee pots, etc to easily handle our crowd. The house is bright, attractive and very clean. We only called the property manager once for a very small matter. The hot tub was deemed "the best ever " by an avid user. All 7 bedrooms were attractive and bathrooms well furnished with towels and supplies to last well beyond our week stay. The soaking tub in the main floor master was great. Because of clear directions, no one got lost on the way to the house (a first in my family) and parking was easy, with a limitation of 6 cars imposed by the town. The deck provides a lovely place for outdoor relaxation and conversation. Carol is an exceptional owner, dealing generously with our covid cancellation in 2020 and potential wildfire smoke cancellation in 2021. Additionally she graciously accommodated a couple special needs requests. It's easy to reach grocery stores and other services, and downtown Steamboat Springs is full of interesting stores and activities. See the Botanical garden, attend a rodeo and farmers market. Two of our group even ran a half marathon. (Try to be there throughout a full weekend to get the benefit of weekend activities in town) We hiked at Fishing creek and near the house, enjoyed the Strawberry Hot Springs, etc, etc, etc. Everything at Spruce Bend was high quality and in good repair. As a vacation house renter for over 20 years, I think this property is one of the best maintained, highest quality I've found. We all recommend it highly! .
