  • This cabin along Chicago Creek was great! It's pretty new and in perfect condition. We were impressed with all the entertainment and kitchen supplies which included a coffee bean grinder, blender and large outdoor gas grill. They left nothing out! We were thrilled to watch, from the kingsize bed, a mother hummingbird and her babies in a small nest right outside the master bedroom window!!!!! It was such a treat that I still can't stop talking about it! We also enjoyed reading on the shady front porch, listening and watching the water rush through on Chicago Creek. We will definitely be back and want to thank the owners for a wonderful vacation.

  • This was our first vacation home rental and it was a great experience. This property is truly a home. It is very clean, well equipped, there are many luxuries and extras. We were completely thrilled. Our daughter even commented that she felt like she was on Extreme Makeover Home Edition! We saw wildlife.... deer and 2 coyotes. One coyote came right on the deck and looked at us through the window while I clicked photos of it! The wildflowers were beautiful. We enjoyed hiking right outside the door! We will definitely recommend this home to our friends and relatives coming to the Denver area. This vacation was such a pleasure. The luxurious accomodations definitely made it special!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks Karen! The picture you sent was of a red fox - not a coyote. Anyway, foxes and coyotes are not a threat to humans but they can be a nuisance. I will be sure to remind our guests not to feed wildlife and to place all trash in the bear-proof trash can to help keep wildlife wild. Randy, Annapolis, MD

  • Having never rented off of the internet, we had some reservations about this process but were faithful and hopeful that the information presented was accurate. The pictures and description were not only accurate, but in real life this cabin is even more comfortable and inviting than the pictures represent. This cabin has all the amenities of a loved home, and nice quality furnishings. The location was ideal for traveling the entire front range. The Idaho Springs and Georgetown areas have many attractions. Despite no cell phone coverage at the cabin, coverage was good in town. This allowed us to check messages regularly and yet not be distracted when relaxing at the cabin. The setting is ideal for those seeking a quiet, mountain retreat. We would return in a heartbeat.

  • Our family had a wonderful time in your log cabin which was in a beautiful secluded position. We really appreciated the high standard of decoration and equipment provided and the photographs on your website do not lie. It was the best furnished holiday home we've ever stayed in so many thanks for allowing us to stay at your second home and should you ever have any Brits interested in staying there in the future then please feel free to give them my contact details.

  • Having spent 6 weeks in this wonderful cabin, I can assure you that everything is top of the line from the moment you enter. The owner is quick to answer any correspondence or calls. The location is also excellent for visiting other towns. Definitely would recommend this site if you want a carefree vacation.

  • My assisted living residents and two staff members have now stayed in this beautiful cabin twice. It is perfect for a group as it has all the amenities needed. The setting is lovely and it truly can sleep 10. We will be back. Thanks so much for our great vacations!
