Why the Owner Chose Idaho Springs
The beauty of this setting speaks for itself. The seclusion, the forest, the mountains create a spirit of quiet and relaxation. The soothing sound of rushing water eases away any tension in your body, mind and soul. It is truly a spiritually refershing place, as Dad always said.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The Lodge is big enough to allow the whole family. We enjoy games, relaxing, building a fire, staring out the picture window at the mountains. It is truly a getaway. In the winter, we sled, snowmobile, snowshoe, or just stay warm by t e fire. In the summer we hike, fish, mountain bike, run the trails, enjoy the wildflowers, have big bonfires by the creek!
About 3 miles up the Jeep road. Great fishing in summer, beautiful for hiking with many waterfalls. Surrounded by peaks. Accessible in winter by snowmobie, snowshoes, or cross-country skis.
Really just a year-round snow field, it is a nice hike to the lake at the base of the glacier. Beautiful views. About 1 mile hike, fairly steep, but worth it! Access during winter by snowshoes.
Restaurants, shops, grocery stores. Also, several mines are open for tours. Argo Mine and Phoenix Mine tours are fun for the entire family. Several White Water Rafting companies offer many grades o
The closest skiing to The Lodge, Loveland is a favorite for locals, because it is not overly commercialized. Awesome powder!
World-Class Skiing only 50 minutes away! All the amenities you would expect from a ski resort. Beautiful drive up Berthoud Pass. Alpine Slide in summer.
Owner's Map of Idaho Springs
We are the Steitz Family. We purchased this beautiful land in 1996. We enjoyed it for camping and hiking for many years. Our parents had a dream to build a "cabin" that the whole family could use together. Our dad began work on the bridge in October, 2003. He suddenly and unexpectedly passed away in February, 2004 of a heart attack. We decided to build "The Invincible Lodge" in his memory, and it was completed in May, 2007. The Invincible Lodge has already been a blessing to many people, Dad would be proud!
