This was one of the best VRBO’s I’ve ever stayed at. The view is even prettier in person. It feels very secluded which is lovely when you want to get away but an easy drive into town. The house is so very comfortable. Not a detail was forgotten. So many little extra’s to make your stay even better like walking sticks, portable speaker, coffee pods, makeup remover pads. Cannot recommend more! I will be back.

Came for a weekend trip with adult family and we unanimously agreed this was our favorite rental we’ve ever experienced. Everything was amazing and such easy check in/out. Beds are comfortable, kitchen is well stocked, house is updated and beautiful, views are out of this world. We loved every minute of it and will be back!

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

This property is amazing. It had everything you could need for a mountain vacation. Andrew was awesome to work with and we would stay here again. Location is close to Idaho Springs and a short drive from Denver. All the activities we wanted to do were a short drive. The views from the house were beautiful. We are now tempted to move there.

Great Mountain Views

We really enjoyed staying here and will definitely be coming back. The location is just right- it feels remote but is only about 45 minutes from Denver. Great mountain views from the patio and also from pretty much every room in the house. The house is beautiful, too. Modern and very roomy with lots of big windows. Overall it was exactly the mountain getaway we were looking for.

Peaceful getaway close to plenty!

This property is absolutely beautiful and the view is breathtaking! We were looking for a place that was secluded and quiet but close enough to the places we wanted to experience, and this place delivered! Andrew was very communicative and responsive, and we had everything we needed to thoroughly enjoy our stay! We highly recommend this property!!

Absolutely gorgeous property if you’re looking for something secluded and quaint. All of the amenities you could need for a reunion with friends. Access to the mountains, trails, town, casino, all while being 1hr away from Denver International. You know it’s good when you simply enjoy the ride up the driveway. 10/10 would recommend

The home is beautiful with an incredible view. It was so peaceful, and we loved our time there. Everything was immaculate, and the owners provided everything we needed and more (there were even beautiful fresh flowers on the dining table). Our kids had so much fun exploring and watching the hummingbirds and squirrels playing. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

Serenity

Andrew’s home was the perfect getaway from our busy life. The views are spectacular. The quiet nights and wildlife brought such happiness to our family. The amenities are on point and it was proof that solar living is feasible. It got my kids thinking about how they use power at home. Thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with us for the week.

Family fun in the Rocky Mountains

Beautiful modern house with rustic characteristics. We loved the wood-burning stove and breath-taking mountain views, sunrise to sunset. With plenty of room to explore, we saw wildlife and hiked nearby. The house was very spacious with plenty of room for our family of 5. The accommodations were perfect. We were able to cook several meals in the house and do laundry. About 8-10 minutes from Idaho Spring’s fun downtown shops and restaurants, and less than an hour from low-cost skiing at Echo Mountain. Owner was very helpful and friendly, working to maintain the road during heavy snow. We look forward to going back to Idaho Springs!
