The bedrooms would an adequately sized! The master had a whirlpool tub but that whirlpool tub was not very big. We actually did not use it. The toilet area in the master was rather small. But let me tell you about the bed..... it was so incredibly comfortable! The other bedroom had a smaller be and a bigger bathroom with an actual shower/bath combo. We all showered in there. The couch was a pull out. The suite was able to sleep 6, but we only had 3 people. Regarding the pool..... it was great! The first day we went it was pretty cold so we didn't stay long. The second time we went was better! We played basket ball, putt putt, air hockey, ping pong, and billiards. The best part was that we reserved the private movie theater room on the rainiest day! We had such a great time and watched 2 movies back that day! The staff was thorough, helpful and kind! It was overall a great stay!

My wife and I were taking a mid-week trip shortly after Labor Day and had the entire house to…read moreourselves for 2 nights between 2 busy weekends. So... we got to "explore". Very well put together rustic-like large house with about 7 different rooms to stay in, a breakfast/dinner area, a couple of sitting areas with fireplaces, an outside patio and a grassy area with trees making it feel private, and a private bathroom connected to every room! There were interesting ambiance things like stone fireplaces, walls with antlers and a bearskin in the common areas like a true hunting lodge. And... conveniently located right off I-55. All the rooms are clean and feature some sort of different theme. We stayed in the Mississippi room with a balcony overlooking the back. The rooms on the top floor are the fanciest. Service was great. Attaching pictures of several parts of the house and grounds.

We were in a lovely cabin, quite spacious and nicely decorated. The owner was welcoming and recommended restaurants and local attractions. Our bedroom suite was huge with a giant jacuzzi. Unfortunately, the tub was in dire need of resurfacing. The kitchen area had fridge, microwave and coffee maker. No cooking indoors or grilling on deck allowed. I do understand fire concerns, but an outdoor grill somewhere on the grounds would be awesome. We will definitely visit again, and hope to post a five star review.

We took the Skytour up to the winery which was really fun and a unique way to get to the winery. It was super cold outside, so I was glad to see they had a closed in gondola for us to sit in instead of the open seat ( I would have frozen). Once we got up to the top, we were able to walk into the winery pretty quickly and since it was not too busy, we sat at a table and our server/bartender came over to check in on us and provided some menus for us to look over. We opted for some wine flights and we ordered a spin dip and a charcuterie board for the table. The wine flights were all tasty. The bartender selected 5 samples of dry, sweet and semi sweet wines for us to try. I liked how she gave us some local wines and some non local wines. It was a good mix. Sitting at the table was really relaxing and we enjoyed the view so much. I can see this spot being so amazing in the spring/summer and cannot wait to go back.

Our first trip to Innsbrook definitely won't be our last!…read more We did a little getaway for our anniversary. While check in wasn't until 4, you are allowed on the grounds for the days you are there, whether you are checked in or not at your rental. Such a great perk! We spent the majority of the day at the Charette Creek Commons pool. Its huge, plenty of seating. There are umbrellas that are permanently in the ground so the chairs are arranged around them. There are no towels, bring your own and while inflatables are not allowed, pool noodles are. There is a food service area on site, they had BBQ this day, and prices seemed reasonable. There is a full bar on site, which beer is reasonable, I feel like the frozen drinks and other concoctions are priced high. Unfortunately every time I tried to get one of them, they were out or not frozen yet. There is a restaurant on site, Clubhouse Bar and Grill, however we had overheard there were several bachelor/bachelorette parties headed there so we opted to save that for another time. There is a little shop and creamery also on the grounds. We are not golfers but the golf course was popular and looked like a great course. Cannot wait to get back!

I am in shock by my last experience here. This is for the Geneva Cove Condo on lake Aspen. Booked…read morefor 2 nights and paid $850. Once we got there on Friday night, the door couldn't be opened as the door chain was blocking it, which is very bizarre because that only happens when you lock it from the inside. They did bring someone to fix it and by the time it was all figured out, 45 min had passed. We needed to get inside to change into our bathing suits so we could go to the beach. Then once inside, my 5 year old got on the bed and was playing with my husband. My kid got inside the covers and I noticed an off white stain size of a hand on the white sheet (we all know what that was)! I tell her to get out of there immediately. I inspect the sheet and there are also hairs and sand. Makeup stain on pillow. They had never been changed it seemed like. I inspect the bed cover as well and notice a weird brown stain on it and a bunch of other stains. It was pretty much filthy. It had a film of dirt on top. Especially the throw pillows. They hadn't been changed or washed in months, if not years. You could see the spot in the middle where people had put their heads, it looked greasy and tan. I check out the other beds and they all had the same issue. Bed covers and throw pillows were all beyond filthy and smelly. I call customer service and explain the situation. They bring someone to change the sheet but only for one bed. I tell her they all needed to be changed. She goes back to bring more linens. Meanwhile the kitchen sink smelled like there was a dead animal in there somewhere down the drain. I ask housekeeper to come take a look while she was in there (she was really nice actually). I thought the smell came from the water, but she figured out it was actually the drain. FLIES were coming out of the sink drain as well. That's how nasty it was. She said she had some tablets in her car for it and that she was going to grab them for me. That did fix the problem thanks God, but it left me really grossed out with the place. Oh, and my mom went and cleaned the patio furniture as it was all covered in sand - tables and chairs. There was no where to sit. So by the time all this was over, it was dark outside and we missed going to the beach altogether. Innsbrook Inn texts me the next day saying they will offer me a late check out for all of the troubles they caused. I thought that was a joke. I told them they should have offered at least half off refund for wasting almost half my time. Honestly if they had any shame at all, they would have offered a full refund for having us come into contact with other people's nasty bodily fluids!!! They said they would offer me $120 off but no more. This was a complete rip off!
