A beautiful, well-managed property only about a 10 minute drive from downtown Idaho Springs. The house itself is gorgeous and is only outshone by the surrounding nature. Every morning we got to sit on the spacious porch and watch the sunrise against the mountains while listening to the little creek that runs right infront of the house. The management is fantastic as well. I had a lot of questions prior and during our stay and Liz always promptly responded, completely answering my questions with kindness and patience. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking to stay in the Idaho Springs area.

Glad you had one of the best vacations with your family and sorry to hear that our linens got us a 4 star review. We happily provide our guests with 100% cotton broadcloth sheets and towels as well as keep extras in the laundry room. At times some of those older towels from the laundry room get mixed in with our new towels.

The cabin was wonderful for a girls’ weekend! Description and pictures are accurate. Plenty of space for 6-8 adults. The wrap around porch is awesome and the main floor kitchen / living area is a great gathering spot. You are definitely in nature but still only 10 min from Idaho Springs town with shopping, breweries, restaurants, etc. Liz was responsive. Check-in was easy. Minor feedback: refresh outdoor cushions and add a storage bin. Also - we couldn’t figure out how to cast to the TV to watch sports / live TV (maybe user error and not totally necessary for a weekend trip). 10/10 would stay again!

Wonderful getaway house in a beautiful setting

The house is really lovely. Five bedroom and 3.5 baths and plenty of space for 10 best friends. The property is really pretty, complete with a babbling brook right outside the door and a couple of foxes who kept an eye on us during our stay. The owner was really quick to get back to me when I had questions. No cell service but there is WiFi. Great place!
