Awesome Idaho Springs Property

Our stay at this property was exactly what we were looking for and we had a fantastic time! It had everything you could need for a stay and the owner's instructions and local guidance was much appreciated and well thought out. We loved the ability to hike on the property without having to go to public land with other people and had great views of wildlife while sitting on the porch. We would certainly book again when we are back in the area!

Wonderful family getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We didn’t have cell reception, but the WiFi worked great and we knew about the no reception in the information that was provided. It snowed while there, but the road to house was always bladed, I would definitely recommend 4x4 in winter months. We would definitely stay there again.

Mountain Retreat

The house has great views of trees and mountains. It has a trail that leads right up to the house and goes down to a running creek. Everything we needed was in the house and easily accessible. Our family enjoyed our stay.

Colorado Christmas

We chose this home because it was located in a central location so we could plan daily excursions to Vail, Frisco, Breckenridge, Idaho Springs and Denver. The host was excellent! We had a couple of questions and he got right back to us. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for our part of six. The beds were so comfortable. We had a blessed Christmas with my daughter’s family and two granddaughters. Ready to come back.

Mothers (3) and Daughters (3) Trip

Beautiful home with fabulous views and so much to do nearby. We enjoyed shopping, dining and ziplining in the small town of Idaho Springs. Red Rocks Amphitheater was an easy drive for a concert we were attending. We only wish out trip was longer so we could have enjoyed the house a little longer. I definitely recommend this property.

Relaxing, beautiful, close to town yet far from distractions

We enjoyed a family getaway there over 4 July visiting Idaho Springs where we could Whitewater raft, hike, ATV tour, mining tour, fireworks and family time. This place was perfect. We hiked behind the property some too. Great star gazing on the upper deck. Cell service for us was poor so I was glad I had screen shots of directions as well as my door code etc since I was “off the grid” there on property. We would recommend this place and enjoyed the town of Idaho Springs!

Great stay for a ski trip with friends

We stayed at this property for 4 nights and the stay was really good. Owner was very responsive and it was very quiet neighborhood. One small problem was that the internet speed, it was pretty slow and owner also did not know what was going on. Apart from that everything else was really cool.

Great getaway

Property was as described. We went for a ski trip and everyone enjoyed the property when we returned from the ski resort. I did a little hike around the property and it was very relaxing and quiet. The covered parking at the back door was a nice added feature. We had a 4x4 and an AWD. If you go during the winter make sure you have one also. We got a lot of snow so getting to the house you need one. Again great place with lots of room for family and friends. One more thing is that we got to see a moose on our way up 103 that we got pictures of while we stopped in the road as it was crossing the highway.

Off the path

Had a great getaway. House was great, but is off the beating path. We travelled around the area and enjoyed all kinds of outdoor activities. Phone service is sparse, internet useable, but slow. However, we enjoyed the much needed slower pace. Nice rooms and bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen for cooking.

Absolutely Gorgeous

Property and house are both amazing!! We were able to hike on the property back to a waterfall area which was gorgeous. You do not have cell reception outside of the house (house had WiFi) but it’s nice to be able to disconnect from phones (especially when you have a teenage daughter!). Brian was easy to get ahold of if we had any questions and responded. Would highly recommend this property to anyone!

Perfect Stay

This was everything we could have hoped for. The property is remote but close enough to Idaho Springs for grocery and gas runs. We took day trips to a few larger towns and Rocky Mountain National Park but spent most of our time exploring trails and hiking nearby. The kitchen is amazingly well-stocked and we took full advantage of that perk. We saw deer nearly every night and once a large herd of elk. I cannot stress enough how perfect and relaxing this location is if you're looking to get away. Communication with Brian was great, I never had a question go understand and he was so accommodating. We would very happily stay here again.

Lots of Room--Inside and Out

This large cabin has all of the comforts of home with plenty of space for the six of us to come together to play games and find our own little nooks for reading books or surfing with our devices. The property also has easy hiking trails that lead to more challenging trails, one leading to the top of Mt. Evans. NOTE: This property is at close to 10,000 feet of elevation, so be aware if you need to acclimatize your body before sleeping at this elevation.

Great Place to Stay!

The house was just as advertised, it is spacious and in a quiet neighborhood in the mountains. The house has everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent and prompt when we needed something or had a question. Our family of 10 stayed for a week and really enjoyed our stay. It's close enough to Denver, yet far enough. The small ski resort up the road was nice too and there's a Safeway for groceries in Idaho Springs on the way up before getting to the house. The property is really nice and we enjoyed the hike in the area. There is no service once you get on the 103 though, but the WiFi at the house worked well. We are really glad we found this VRBO and would definitely recommend it to others and would stay again. -Amy
