We had a lovely weekend in New Castle and surrounding areas. The house was very nice, as is the town of New Castle. We were supposed to hike to Hanging Falls early Saturday but unfortunately 70E was closed. Luckily, we were able to head west instead and hiked in Rifle Gap State Park and Rifle Falls State Park and both were beautiful. We also enjoyed exploring Glenwood Springs in the evening once the highway was open. ) We had a problem locking the door and the property owner and management company were very quick to respond and help us out. (It turned out it was our error and it worked fine; we were just doing it wrong. But the point is--we were able to speak with someone quickly and they were very friendly and responsive.)
My parents met up with my wife and I on the tail end of their UT/CO road trip. We're planning on moving to New Castle so this was a perfect way to experience it. The house was perfect for us and we appreciated the Mayor Frank backstory in the community. Main Street had plenty of food options for our long weekend. The proximity to Glenwood and GJ/Fruita made it a great location to go out and explore the western slope!
The listing describes this place very well. The kitchen was nicely equipped for us, and it was nice to use the grill. The master bed fits a little tight, and getting 5 people through one shower was a process. However, we found it to be unique, well furnished, clean and it worked as we hoped for our stay.
We loved this place! It had such history and charm! It fit our family of 8 well and had everything we needed. We even saw a deer in the backyard. Loved staying here!
The Mayorâs house was used as a summer getaway for a teacher and several students for 5 days of activities in and around Glenwood Springs/New Castle. It was a great location, quiet and well equipped for people of all ages!
Property was comfortable and well maintained. Great location and reasonable rate.
Traffic in town was a bit of a problem. Front bedroom had headlights shining in windows all night. Problem resolved by moving to back bedroom.
Desperately needs some better light in living room.
Train roaring close by might make some unhappy but was huge hit for grandson.
Great property that had everything our friend group needed. Loved the bed space for friend group of 8. We enjoyed the share space for game nights. About 15 mins to Glenwood Springs. Cute town of New Castle and good location on the main st. Didnât communicate with hosts, so that rating didnât apply to us. Didnât use to kitchen for cooking. Overall, had a wonderful experience at Mayor Frankâs!
We've been vacationing in Glenwood Springs for years, and this year our booking came too late to find a reasonably priced house that would accommodate all 7 of us. (1 family of 4 with kids, 1 couple, 1 single) I had never seen historic downtown New Castle before, but it sounded charming, so we booked this property, and couldn't have been happier. It's only 10 minutes from downtown Glenwood, but it's a 1-block walk to an adorable, vibrant historic center in New Castle with some wonderful restaurants and shops.
The house is lovingly restored and spacious. Each bedroom had an air conditioner, which was wonderful because each day was in the mid 90s during our stay. The kitchen was well stocked and functional. (I'm a chef, so a functioning and properly-equipped kitchen is very important to us.)
The large room with 3 beds is up a narrow flight of spiral stairs, and the living room is separated from the kitchen and downstairs bedrooms by a few stairs, so this isn't the right choice for a group with mobility-impaired folks.
The only important thing to note is that this listing shows the house as 2 bathrooms, which is why we booked it. In reality, it is 1 1/2 baths, so there is only 1 shower...not ideal for a group of 7 with teenage girls! The description explained this, but after we had filtered for 2 bathrooms and this listing came up, we booked it without carefully reading about the bathrooms.
Thanks for a cozy stay and great amenities .
Enough towels and beds for everyone. Everything was neat and clean .. there were books and cards at the house ..
This was the first time EVER renting a VRBO and we had a great experience. We came to visit family for Thanksgiving. The house was easy to get to, close to our family that we where visiting, clean, warm and we could all be together.(instead of separate hotel rooms). I think this will be our new spot every Thanksgiving. Check-in was easy and the house was very well organized, great reference book and cabinets where labeled. I was impressed. The only down side is that the hot water heater is not very big. You have to break up and spread out the shower schedule. Other than that It was a great experience all around.
This is a great rental if you want to be in the heart of New Castle. Itâs right on Main Street within walking distance of the coffee shop, library, restaurants, bar etc. The house has 3 rooms with plenty of beds. We had 8 people for our stay - 2 families of 4 and we were very comfortable. The only challenge was the lone shower for that many people but it worked. The house has a large living room and 2 bathrooms which was nice for a large group of people. The house is clean and the back porch is a great place for morning coffee. Iâll stay here again the next time weâre in New Castle.
