Keywords: Condominium
This cozy,comfortable,furnished two bedroom, one bath condominium unit is located next to beautiful Silver Lake, just 9 miles north of Idaho Springs (Exit 238 I-70). This is the best mountain get-away value you will find in the Rocky Mountains. Compare and you won't find a better vacation spot for the price. Whether you're just escaping for some fresh mountain air, or leaving the rat race for an extended retreat in paradise, this modest, but warmly furnished condo near the Continental Divide is most likely the perfect place for you. It's not unusual to hook a 5 lb. trout in eiter of the two private lakes next to the property. Silver lake is less than 50 yards from condo.(Fishing badge included with the rental - no state fishing license required). Take a side trip to the Historic 24/7 gambling towns of Central City and Black Hawk ( 30 min. )
Write that book, read a few by the fire, or just open the window and listen to the tranquil sound of the adjacent stream. The condo is located at an elevation of 10,000 feet plus, but is only 45 minutes from Denver, and less than a half hour drive to major ski areas and mountain gambling towns. Hiking, Rafting, ATV and 4-Wheel drive trails galore!! Fish in two well stocked private lakes --- take a 10 minute hike to the Glacier SNOW yearround.--Located near the base of the new Eclipse Ski Area area presently being planned!!

This was our second time at this condo, and it was just as great as the first! Our two kids, six and ten, love it at St. Mary's Glacier. We hiked, went to the hot springs in Idaho Springs and plan to go gold mining next time we come up. We love it b/c it's so quiet and beautiful there, and it helps us to "slow down" and enjoy some quality family time. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!
Owner response:you guys are always welcome. Hope to hear from you in the summer!
Recommended for:Sightseeing, families with young children, romantic getaway.

There were four people taking showers - water was lukewarm by the third shower. We had the FLH on in the bathroom and a blow dryer going in the outer part and blew a circuit. We hiked to the glacier - beautiful day - beautiful view.
Owner response:Thanks for letting me know about the HW. I've got my maintenance guy checking it out-as well as the circuit. Hope it did not cause too much inconvenience. Glad to hear you had a good time and got to enjoy a beautiful day up at the Glacier!

This was a great getaway for us. We had a super time just relaxing and strolling about the area. The condo was a perfect space for us and we enjoyed the cozy fire and the beautiful views. The condo was exactly as described and it was awesome to have a full kitchen with everything we needed. The owner was super flexible in accommodating our last minute reservation. I would definitely go again and recommend to anyone looking for an easy and serene getaway.
