Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2003
We are happily married Colorado transplants who have lived here for over 30 years. We love the outdoors and especially the mountains. We try to spend as much time in the Rockies as we can with our son and his family. My husband is a railroader with many miles under his belt and we try to match those miles with our own personal travels. We feel very blessed & thankful that we can share our vacation condo in this beautiful setting with you.
Why the Owner Chose St. Mary's Glacier
While driving, we saw a for sale sign in the window of this beautiful remote location. The view of the lake from our bedroom clinched it for us. It is easy to get to & close to Denver where we live. It is remote so it is not overrun by tourists. There are many ski areas within a 30 minute drive and is walking distance from the newly planned Eclipse Ski Park.
The Unique Benefits of this Condo
There is a private lake just outside our bedroom window. Very peaceful & quiet. Hummingbirds, not people, are regular visitors.

We had a wonderfully refreshing and restful vacation at Luann's condo. My husband said "I'm really into this place." That was so uncharacteristic (he's a man of few words) that I had to ask him what he meant by that. He said that he felt at home and everything was the way it should be. Wow! I felt like I really scored a major league hit by selecting this place. It is clean, beautifully decorated (in fact, I wish I could have Luann help decorate MY place), quiet and serene. Luann's attention to detail in the things that she provides is spot on. Everything you would want or need is in this condo. It was a perfect vacation; we are both a little sad to be home and thinking back to our time at St Mary's Glacier fondly.
Owner response:Thanks for your lovely review, Iris. It is so nice to hear a mans point of view! Thrilled that you had a great vacation!

We were looking for a one night getaway not too far from home to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate. It rained the whole time we were there and we were stuck indoors. But, what a charming place to be stuck indoors! The condo is adorable and cozy. The owner went out of her way to make sure our time there was special. She left us a bottle of wine as an anniversary gift and provided everything we needed to prepare a delicious breakfast. The condo was well stocked and we enjoyed hot chocolate and popcorn during our rainy day. We were so pleased to find a place where our dog was welcome. There were even dog dishes set out when we arrived.

Colorado Retreat

We spent our Colorado week in this impeccably decorated and well-appointed out-of-the-way retreat. This cozy condo is perfectly situated 1/2 between Denver and Breckenridge off of I-70, but requires a 20-minute 9.2 mile drive from I-70. Our host provided plenty of delicious breakfast fixings to enjoy during our stay. The condo is best for 2 people. The only windows are in bedroom area, so it can be dark in living/kitchen area. Don’t miss the 3/4 mile hike to St. Mary’s Lake and Glacier - spectacular views. Non-Coloradans will definitely need to acclimate to the 10,000 ft. altitude.

We had a fantastic time getting away from it all at this romantic, cozy condo! The condo was comfortable and perfect for my husband, me and our golden retriever. We all felt like we were able to unwind in the relaxing and soothing atmosphere. The owner delivered a hearty and delicious breakfast to our doorstep each morning, and she had coffee beans and a grinder for us to brew our own cup of coffee. We cooked at the condo both nights of our stay, and had no problem finding the appropriate cookware and utensils. Although the weather was blustery outside, we were nice and comfortable watching the wind blow across the lake from our beautiful view. Even though the weather wasn't ideal for our stay, we were able to take two beautiful hikes: one up the glacier and one in nearby Silver Plume. Relaxing by the easy to light fireplace after a day in the blowing snow was especially nice. We'd definitely recommend this condo for a couple looking to spend a few days away from it all!

My husband, 2-year old daughter, and I stayed at this condo. It was the perfect family getaway! The owners truly pampered us! The breakfast was delicious both mornings and the condo was perfectly clean and well-appointed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience! The cost was very reasonable and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We hiked above St. Mary's Glacier. Well worth the effort to hike above the glacier... there are some amazing views up there! Couldn't have asked for a more spectacular day!

My buddy and I were looking for a place to stay on our hiking trip and I came across this place it was great. Not in town but not far from town. The Condo was clean and well cared for, the only thing we found wrong was my buddy said the convertible bed was not that great. We plan to head back next year.
Owner response:Glad you enjoyed your hiking trip John! I do have an extra foam pad to use on the sofa bed. It makes it so much more comfy & I will make sure it's in your unit next time!

The Perfect Mountain Vacation

Review Submitted: 07/11/10
My wife and I had a wonderful, relaxing visit. This condo truly has everything you need. It is cosy yet spacious at the same time. We cooked our own dinners and loved the romantic atmosphere. We really enjoyed our hike up to the glacier as well as our morning walks around the lake. And, we loved Luan's complimentary breakfast so much that we decided to stay an extra night. We also took a couple trips into Idaho Springs for dinner and took a drive up to nearby Mt. Evans, which is the highest paved road in America. It's also close enough to Denver or the Ski Resort areas for day trips! Our little poodle loved his visit as well. We will definitely be back! This is a great deal. Don't pass it up!
Owner response:So glad you had a great time & enjoyed breakfast so much. I am working on more selections in the future! Will possibly offer dinner selections down the line. Some tasty dishes like pork tenderloin with a garlic mustard sauce or plum spicy chicken. Some of my favorites!

Walking into this property was like walking into home! It was beautiful, immaculate, and had so many extra touches to make you feel at home. My favorite part was the delicious breakfast delivered to my door each morning! Make sure you check out the notebook on the coffee table that has recommendations for local restaurants. Close to Idaho Springs & Georgetown for shopping/dining and also close to many breathtaking hiking excursions. Highly recommend!

One of our best weekends yet! The pictures do not do the condo justice, AMAZING to say the least! When we arrived, I was a giggling 5 year old. I wouldn't have changed one single thing, other than the fact that we didn't ever want to leave! The condo was so cozy and inviting and fully stocked! We still talk about what a wonderful time we had and look forward to our next visit! It is now our number 1 destination ESCAPE for much needed R&R! THANK YOU!!!!!
