I stayed at Melanie's place with my husband and two little girls (6yr & 8yr). There was a separate door on the side of the house where we entered our side of the house. It was lovely walking on steps through a beautiful garden to our door each day. We actually went up to Melanie's door to greet her and she and her husband were the kindest people! They offered wonderful recommendations for us since it was our first time visiting Colorado. The floor plan worked very well with our family of 4 with the kids being able to be in their own beds in a separate room. The treats that were left for us each day were very exciting for our family. We'd love to come back again someday!
