Our family spent four nights at this charming, comfortable cabin over Spring Break. We loved our time here! The cabin was well stocked with many amenities, down to spices in the kitchen and VHS and DVD movies for the kids. We enjoyed cozy evenings by the fire, and had a wonderful time exploring Idaho Springs. This cabin is a gem! We are already planning a return trip!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We have been coming to Colorado for a number of years. We started with motels and B & Bs, then found VRBO. We started renting cabins and have had some favorites these past years. This one however puts every other cabin we experienced in a distant 2nd place. This is the best located, best kept, best floor plan and amenities for a really good price. The owner is very nice and completely helpful. I would recommend this cabin/property to anyone. Our kids loved it, our grandchildren had a fantastic experience with the "nature hikes", and we loved every aspect of the stay. There's an abundance of very good places to eat and they are within 5 minutes drive of the cabin, and that is driving slow to appreciate the beauty of the natural setting. We were here during the fall colors and the drive up Mt Evans road was spectacular and provided us with many great photos. We plan on coming back. (and back, and back...etc.)Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

My wife and I went up to the cabin to get away for the weekend and we absolutely loved it. It's in a great location with the creek running right below the driveway. There is so much to do around that area, first we went for a hike (there is a trail right off the porch). Later in the evening we went to dinner at a local mom and pop restaurant called Smokin' Yards BBQ, great place that really gives you the small town experience with great customer service. Also, if your an avid snowboarder or skier, like I am, the resorts are 30 miles away. The cabin itself is gorgeous and really has all the accomodations you can think of or need. My only regret is that we had to leave on Sunday!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children.

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.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

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.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

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.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

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.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

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!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
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.

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!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
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
