| We stayed at Totem Vista in August 2009. There were 9 of us...6 adults and 3 children. The house accommodated all of us and felt quite spacious. We loved the large deck, hot tub and watching the hummingbirds. The kids enjoyed playing in the woods near the house and collecting quartz rocks. We enjoyed hiking and horseback riding which was nearby. We did some hiking right by the house. Our vacation was very peaceful and relaxing. David, the owner, was friendly and easy to deal with. |

| We really enjoyed our stay at Totem Vista December 27-January 1, 2009. The house was very spacious and offered amazing views of the country side. The included ski passes were great and the hot tub after a long day at the slopes was icing on the cake! The owner was very helpful and easy to work with which was a huge plus as novice renters. As a family, we highly recommend an experience at Totem Vista and are looking forward to planning our next visit. |

We stayed at Totem Vista on Jan 1-5, 2009. We arrived after dark and awoke the next morning to the most beautiful views. The house was so roomy we never felt crowded, even with all our ski stuff all over the place. The house was great and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The free lift tickets were great and the main reason we stayed here. We are looking forward to staying here again.

| I ended up accidentally staying at Totem Vista alone, and it was perfect. It's remote, so you feel like you're away from it all, yet you're not far from Nederland, which is a terrific small town. It's a great home to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning and watch the sun come up and the train go by in the valley. You'll feel like you're in the old west. The owner is also very easy to work with and quite helpful. I would definitely stay there again, and plan to. |

| Totem Vista is everything I could have hoped for in a vacation rental home. As a former professional chef, I found the kitchen well-appointed. I had actually brought my own cookware, but found that I didn't need it. The hot tub was nice and relaxing, the view is gorgeous, and the wildlife was fun to watch. My friends and I had a great time, and will definitely be going back! |

I celebrated my 80th birthday at beautiful Totem Vista Mountain Home with my family...children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Six of us stayed for a week, others visited from Fort Collins. The views from the cabin are breath-taking. At almost 9000 ft., it literally took this Floridian's breath away! We all enjoyed watching the trains chug over the mountain, some of them with 8 engines. My son caught 3 beautiful rainbow trout in the river below the cabin. My biggest joy was feeding the swarm of hummingbirds who were attracted by the wildflowers surrounding Totem Vista. After I put up a nectar feeder I was able to hold a ruby-throat on my finger. What a thrill! Totem Vista is truly a heavenly destination. |

| We stayed at Totem Vista in May and saw sunshine and snow. It was beautiful. We had 9 people and the house is so large it never felt too crowded. The house is serene and the views are awesome. |

| We have just returned from an extended weekend in the Totem Vista Mountain House. What a wonderful retreat! With my husband, two adult children, four friends, and myself, we had a good sized group but there was plenty of room to spare. This home is outfitted with all the modern conveniences but is away it all. We were blessed with snow on three days which added to the beauty of the location. I hope we'll be back! |

| This cabin is great. The skiing at Eldora is great. The value on this one is unmatched- the passes are free, but worth $300/ day. The house is worth more than that. Go to this place and have a blast. We had 4 adults and 4 kids and plenty of room. We will be back. |

| This was the perfect place to stay for us. It is a very nice and spacious cabin. We had two families of 4 stay and there was more than enough room! We went skiing at Eldora and with the free ski passes provided, the cabin more than paid for itself. We are already talking about staying again for a longer period of time. I would recommend this cabin to anyone… it is even better than it sounds!!! |

| "We needed a quiet and supportive environment for the board members of our organization to come together and set goals for the coming year. Totem Vista was exactly that! Everything we needed was at hand so that we could focus on our purpose. We left feeling unified toward clear goals and looking forward to working together. And we got to relax and get to know and enjoy one another. I would recommend this special place to anyone wanting to share peace and clarity with others." |

| We stayed a week at this cozy spacious retreat. Me, my husband and my two children (4 & 6), my brother and his wife, my cousin from Boulder and his gilfriend and my cousin from NY. It was a great family reunion. We skied 4 days at Eldora and the conditions were awesome! Boulder Falls is a must see as well as Boulder itself. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home! |

| My family stayed at Totem Vista during my wedding and they loved it. We had our rehersal dinner, prepared by the amazing chef Craig King, at the house...cocktails and apps at sunset on the deck, and a cozy candlelit dinner inside. It was perfect! |

| Our family rented this house when my daughter, who lived in Nederland, was getting married. It was the perfect place for family gatherings. Creg King came and prepared a spectacular vegetarian meal for the rehearsal dinner which we had at the house. It was a magical and very romantic evening. The full moon added to the enchantment. Totem Vista Mountain House far exceeded our expectaions as a perfect rental. We hope to come back again. |

| This cabin exudes Rocky Mountain high. It's peaceful, comfy, and surrounded by terrific woodsy smells and awe inspiring views. I stayed 3 days and savored every moment. The owners who built and maintain the cabin are top notch people with a passion for others happiness and fulfillment...and it shows. Enjoy! |

| I have stayed at the Totem Vista Mountain House a few times over the past few years. It is even more stunning in person. It's in a wonderful location because you feel removed yet your only 10 minutes from the sleepy town of Nederland. My favorite aspect of the home however, is when the train goes past down in the valley below. Its distant rumble accents the view perfectly from the hot tub on the deck. I highly recommend staying in this home. |

| My wife and I have stayed there several times; it is in a beautiful and guiet setting, and would be the perfect get-a-way for those seeking a refreshing break from the fast-paced lives we too often lead. Moreover, for those wanting an active outdoor experience, all of the activities of which Colorado boasts, are available within the area. Even Rockie Mt. National Park is a short drive to the North. We highly recommend this home. |
