We have already visited twice and are now booking for a 3rd time. The Cabin offers something for everyone. We have visited in November and was amazed by the beauty and splendour of the surrounding area and the situation of the Cabin. It is so comfortable inside and is well looked after and maintained. Our next visit will be in early Summer and we cant wait to see the difference between the 2 seasons. The Cabin now offers Broadband Internet which is fantastic and saves the daily trips to the Library in Idaho Springs to make the calls to the UK. Thoroughly recommended to everyone and always a joy to stay at. Thank you.

Feels like Home!

Just got home from what feels like my other home. The Cabin is of rock solid construction with the warmth of a good blanket. This was our second time here and I can honestly say that I would recommend this for everyone but especially for those who live down in the cities below...An hour and ten minutes from Boulder, it provides an opportunity to those who came to CO to be in the mountains but never made it. Home sweet home on the Chicago Creek. Get up here quick and enjoy what it's all about. Thank you to the owners who work hard to keep it nice.

We had the most wonderful week staying at your beautiful cabin. The hiking trail was great. Idaho Springs is a delightful little town with great stores and restaurants. It was always nice to come back to the cabin and just sit on the porch and listen to the creek. Best vacation we have had in a long time. Thank you for sharing your beautiful mountain home with us.

Wow! I was surprised at how big the cabin is and really impressed with the neat pine furniture. Wonderful floor plan; loved the Dansk dinnerware; enjoyed all the art and accessories; the fresh flowers were a nice welcoming touch. I'd go back again.

My family (2 adults, 3 children) met up with my parents for a two-night mini-vacation. Idaho Springs was great and the cabin was absolutely perfect!! Every amenity you could ask for! No internet, but we didn't bring our laptop so it wasn't an issue for us. The beds were so comfy and I loved that we could sleep with the windows open and hear the creek all night. We had a great time and would recommend this cabin to anyone! We'll be back!

Owner response:Layne - bring your laptop next time...as of Oct 2011 we have high speed Internet at the cabin via satellite...it works great.

Our one night stay left us feeling like we'd been away for a long weekend!

We arrived to the cabin after dark and were greeted by the sound of the river rushing by, just feet from the cabin's front door. When we walked in and turned on the lights we found ourselves in a beautiful, spotless log cabin with high ceilings, tall windows and a very cozy sitting area surrounding a wood burning stove. We couldn't have asked for more and our expectations were blown away! The kitchen had everything we needed and the bedrooms were comfortable and cozy as well. Just one night and day in this wonderful mountain retreat left us rejuvenated and ready again for the real world :) Will definitely return sometime soon!

Owner response:Thanks Molly for making the log cabin a surprise getaway with your fiance. Good luck in your future and we look forward to having you stay again. Randy - Annapolis, MD

My sister and I rented this cabin for 3 days in Oct. 2010. It was just great. I already miss it very much. It had every thing we needed. If you were to stay in the summer you could open the windows and hear the creek roaring. The views are to die for.There is a fire pit along the side of the cabin that would be great to use in the summer time. Thank you Randy. Hope to rent the cabin again this coming spring or summer.

We spent a delightful weekend at this cabin in late January. It is a very modern, spotlessly clean, and incredibly comfortable retreat. Since we were skiing at Loveland and attending a cultural event in Denver, this place proved to be perfect for our needs. 20-25 min from Loveland and approx. 30 min from Denver. 5 min to Idaho Springs. The cabin's living area is very cozy and comfortable, with a wood burning stove that provides a wonderful ambience. The bedrooms are large, with lots of room to unpack - a definite plus when skiing. The only downside was that our cell phone service (Verizon) ended about 4 blocks from the cabin, but that's pretty common in Colorado. We're already planning on how we can plan another trip to CO and stay in this delightful place.

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.
