Anyone for a game of pool?
VRBO Bear stayed here - 07/21/2008
Holy bear cubs, this place is amazing! I arrived with my seven new human friends and two new canine friends at this pet-friendly mountain home and had to immediately check out every room in the house. Everything was just as the photos depicted and then some! We walked downstairs, saw the pool table, and it was all over. Game on! Between the pool table and the hot tub, I’m not sure which was the bigger hit.
The home is wonderfully decorated to make visitors feel comfortable. Even the large open areas had a cozy atmosphere. DirecTV is provided in each of the bedrooms. In the kitchen we found everything we needed to cook our meals. For those of you who like outdoor barbecues, there was a nice new grill.
If you prefer to dine out, you'll find some rustic and unique places to choose from in town. Our favorite was The Red Ram! For a great after-dinner treat, we stopped at Georgetown Valley Candy Company, where they make most of their own candy by hand.
Looking for adventure? It’s all around! Check out the hiking trails, starting with the one just outside the front door. There’s also my favorite activity - fishing! Georgetown Lake is just down the hill. Scenery abounds! All you need to do is look out the windows and right up a mountain.
If you’re looking for a mountain getaway, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed with this top notch vacation rental!

Map & Owner's Profile
Ski Season, Holiday Season, Fall Colors!
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Georgetown
Georgetown is centrally located for all of the Rocky Mountain outdoor recreation activites we could want plus we have 7 world class ski resorts within a hours drive. There is historic Central City and Blackhawk casinos within the hour. Two nation scenic byways, 4 fourteeners, gold and silver mines, museums, and hot springs are all right here or very close by.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Besides the hiking and wildlife exposure that starts right at the front door, we can fish in Clear Creek or walk the Continental Divide. It's nice to be able to quickly get to Denver for a Bronco game, or a Rockies baseball game and then come home to peace and quiet, cool summer air and great neighbors.
Wedding Venue and reception site at the restored and priceless properties and museums
Most excellent mine tour with a small museum. The real thing here, moderate hike required. Worth the visit
Most sundays in the winter you can find ice racing competions on the lake. Its fun, its exciting and really different
Owner's Map of Georgetown
Hi, Welcome to Saxon Mountain Retreat! After living in Breckenridge for 27 years (let it snow, snow, snow) we needed to find a more sane and relaxing location. This is Georgetown! At Saxon Mountain, we found the PERFECT home for our active lifestyle-hiking and biking right from our front door. We especially like NOT having to live with a snow shovel in my purse. We LOVE the evening walks to see the deer, fox and other critters that abound. We know you will love our custom home and its spaciousness, warmth and many momentos from our travels!

We stayed at this property over the Thanksgiving holiday and had a wonderful time. The place is HUGE and had everything we could have dreamed of needing during our stay. We traveled with a friend who is a gourmet chef and she had everything she needed and plenty of space to cook us a giant Thanksgiving meal. There are also two big dining room tables which were more than enough for our guests. It was quiet and a great retreat. Some of us did puzzles and relaxed during the day, some went skiing, and some went hiking every day. It was also close enough to the town so we could run down and grab items we forgot for dinner. We brought our dogs with us and they were very welcome there which made us feel comfortable. The dogs had a great time hiking with us and running up and down the mountain. It was easy to find and easy to access from I70. We had a few members of our party who had to drive back to Denver to work some days and the drive was just under an hour - completely doable. It was also only about a 20 minute drive to A-Basin. A perfect in-betweener. The owners of this property were wonderful and worked with us so we got their best rate. The place was super clean and prepared for us. This place is awesome! -Highly recommended.

What a wonderful location. The photos of the interior do not do it justice. The kitchen was so well stocked, and the spaciousness was remarkable. We cooked all our meals here and were amazed to find everything we needed at our fingertips. The furniture in the living room was incredibly comfortable and the view from the many windows was remarkable. We had a group of 14 including teens and the downstairs amenities were perfect for them. They enjoyed countless hours playing pool and in the hot tub. The owners were available instantly for any questions or concerns, and were truly interested in our stay. The town of Georgetown was so cute and we managed to shop till we dropped. I would recommend a trip up the Guanalla Pass to appreciate the beauty of the area. The teens went white water rafting and panning for gold and will forever have exciting and wonderful memories. We also brought our labrador and she loved the hikes. I would recommend this property to anyone. Thank you for making our stay everything I hoped it would be.

Spring Break escape

Review Submitted: 04/06/10
We are really happy that we decided to venture a little ways East of our regular rental areas in this location during our spring break ski trip. We had a group of 14 and everything went smooth. The lower level works great for the kids, while the adults can enjoy the privacy of the bedrooms on the main and upper levels. The kitchen was stocked very well. I enjoy cooking ... and most of the rentals are stripped bare when we get there. This had a very good supply of the non-perishables and caught me by suprise. I wish everyone would use, add/or replenish as they go. They could use a deep fat fryer, but that could be a liability/health issue. We did see a diference in the amount of bathrooms vs. bedrooms compared to earlier rentals, but it did not become a problem. The extra freezer and refrigerator in the arage was huge. If you enjoy the outdoors and like hiking, this is prime! I would say we saw mule deer cross in front of the house 3 times a day, we hiked up across the road and took pictures of at least 8 big horn sheep. In the past we have stayed at Silverthorne, Breckinridge, and Dillon. During the busy spring break season, we found that the grocery store at Evergreen was the best we have seen in the last 7 years. I would say it is better than what I have here at home at Salina, KS. I was really happy to see that the shelves were still fully stocked at 7:00 at night and everyone was very helpful! We are hoping to do this again this summer! Sorry!!! I am running out of time, but not out of good memories! Hope this helps. We had a blast and would hope you can take advantage of it too.

Your house was absolutely wonderful! It was a PERFECT location for our low-key wedding rehearsal, and our parents all thuroughly enjoyed their stay there! Everything was very clean, roomy and comfortable. It was pleanty large enough for everyone- they could enjoy their own spaces, or join together without having to climb on top of one another. We can't thank you enough! Also- a HUGE thank you for being available so quickly by phone when I dropped the key under the deck- what a life savior you were!

We had a fabulous time at the Saxxon Mountain retreat. We are a large family with four children and the space was perfect. We could easily have fitted another family. The kids loved spotting the deer and big horn sheep that frequently roamed just outside the house. We skied in the Loveland area that was just 15 mins on I70 so the location was perfect for us. We enjoyed several visits to Georgetown just a few minutes drive from the house. Best of all was relaxing in the hot tub after a day of skiing with a cold beer. The kitchen was very well equipped and we enjoyed most dinners at the retreat. We will definately be back. Jens, Ariella, Fortnum (8), Maia (6), Amber (3), Felicity (1)

We had a wonderful time in Georgetown and felt so at home in their beautiful home. A true Retreat it was with the mountains around us, the hot tub and pool table. We also saw the fox and deer everyday which was so exciting. We will be back next year for another reunion. Gary

Wow, was this place nice. My family could not believe how we could have gone skiing and stayed in such a nice home. It was beyond our wildest dreams to sit in that nice living room and watch the 3 huge mountain goats playing. Butch and Deb are the best hosts we have ever encountered. We will be back!
