This was such a fun trip. The Owl’s Nest and the host couldn’t have been nicer. In fact, the town of Idaho Springs is probably the nicest town of people I’ve had the pleasure to meet. So many nice shops and the local restaurants are excellent.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie

Host profile image
We've lived in Colorado's Foothills for nearly 20 years and love it here. We have abundant sunshine, fresh air, unlimited outdoor recreation, and are simply surrounded by beauty.

Why they chose this property

We chose our vacation home in Idaho Springs for many reasons - the area's history is fascinating, and the location can't be beat for accessing all Colorado has to offer.
The Owls Next is a unique space, the hand-crafted bunk beds and funky elements make it so fun. It's our children's favorite place to hang out.
Our home is 113 years old and is featured in the city's Historic District. The interior has been lovingly updated and we hope you enjoy our home as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Beat the "ski traffic" that clogs up I-70 in the mornings. Walk to the breweries at night. Curl up with a movie from our collection, or get out and hike a 14er. This home is well suited for all types of travelers.
