About this property

Bright & Spacious Cabin 1-mi from Idaho Springs, on 5 acres + Mountain Views!

Retreat to this peaceful 4-bdrm, 3-bath mountain cabin just 2 mins from historic Idaho Springs! Sitting on 5 acres, you are surrounded by National Forest w/ stunning mountain views but only a short drive to town.

Close to hiking, skiing, Mt. Evans, rafting, shopping, dining & all the outdoor activities you can imagine! 30 min to Denver, 20mins to Loveland & Red Rocks, 50mins to Breckenridge, Copper, Keystone, Winter Park, etc.

Nestled in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, this is the perfect place to relax and reconnect with your family and nature. Inside, our cabin is warm and inviting, with a cozy fireplace and plenty of space to spread out. **Ultra high-speed internet just added so you can stay connected and work if you must - but of course we recommend unplugging and enjoying the beauty of the mountains. ;)

This home is all about the Colorado lifestyle and is the perfect basecamp to take advantage of all things outdoors. It is truly the best of both worlds - offering serenity and seclusion, all while being 1 mile from town and 5 mins away from all the conveniences like grocery stores, Starbucks, etc.

Relax by the fire on the super comfy reclining couches, grill on the expansive deck, read a book and watch the snow fall from the huge master bedroom, or explore the woods and caves behind the cabin!

There are three TVs in the house and we offer YouTube TV with Denver live local channels on all TVs, as well as Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, etc. This property features 3 security cameras (one facing the garage door, one facing the driveway, and a doorbell camera).

Enjoy historic mountain towns, unique shops, bistros, brew pubs, distilleries, casinos, rafting, mountain biking, zip lines and more! It is just 25 mins to skiing, 30 mins to the Denver Metro area, 45 minutes to Lake Dillion and within 1 hour of multiple world class ski areas. In town, you can explore the Charlie Tayler Waterwheel, Mount Evans Scenic and Historic Byway, the Argo Mill and Tunnel, and the Idaho Mall!

Clean, well-maintained property very conveniently located close to town. Owner/Manager very responsive to our questions. Nice hang-out spaces for larger groups. Only (small) problem was that we didn't find the barbeque grill that was in the property photos. But that wasn't a huge deal. Otherwise good experience!

Wonderful Host, Great Facility!

Our host was responsive and friendly. Her house is lovely and private. Our logistics ended up making an early check-in and late checkout preferable, and she was as accommodating as possible. We will definitely stay again, if we are in Idaho Springs. And with all the area has to offer, that very well may happen!

Family Vacay

Host was extremely easy to communicate with and made the booking process smooth. House is generally as pictured/described and stayed warm in the winter weather. Host was correct, 4wd a necessity to reach cabin due to steep drive (and the ice/snow in winter) - our 4wd suv didn’t have an issue, but our AWD suv didn’t make it up the driveway, but parking was available at bottom of hill. Overall pleasant stay.

Relax and Enjoy

If you are looking for a relaxing place to enjoy nature, you've found just the spot. Check in was easy and seamless. The house is large, clean, and equipped with everything you need. Plenty of room to spread out but enough seating to come together too. Our Littles enjoyed the games, Legos and bunk beds. We had a sweet family of deer who visited each day. Lots to do in the area and delicious food nearby.

Great location

We enjoyed our stay. This house is very close to a lot of summer activities. It’s just a couple of minutes from white water rafting and “downtown” Idaho Springs and a short drive to Red Rocks. The house was great and had plenty of room for our entire family. Our kids enjoyed walking out back and finding some of the caves. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything we needed. While we didn’t need anything from the owner during our stay, they were quick to respond during booking. We’d definitely stay again.

Great Property!

This was a great property and the host supplied everything we needed for our stay! She was a great communicator and assisted any way possible. She even gave me the name of an urgent center/emergency room where my husband ended up spending all but one night of our stay in the hospital! The only suggestion I have is to explain the difficulty of the steps getting inside the cabin in a little more detail. Would definitely stay again!

Okay place to stay

Few minor issues, washing machine didn't work well wouldn't drain water. Could not get heat to come on. TV's had nothing set up to use as far as accounts. We ended up using our own accounts on the TV. Thermostat broken off wall in master bedroom. Many spiders in Master Bedroom. Wasn't clean. They left laundry (sheets and towels) in dryer. Location is good and neighbor is okay. It would be difficult for elderly person to get into front door. The steps shown in the picture were not there. They can always have someone unlock house and enter through garage and use the inside stairs.

Response from VrboOwner on 26 Feb 2025
We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, however, we are concerned about the accuracy of the claims made in your review. After your checkout, we were sad to note that extensive damage had been done to the property, including thermostats ripped off the walls and a large hole punched into the bathroom wall. While we strive to provide a comfortable stay for all guests, the details you provided are not reflective of your experience at our property and it is very disappointing to see this misrepresentation. If you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out directly. We are committed to providing a positive experience for all our guests and will be contacting Vrbo customer service to discuss this review further if necessary.

Beautiful scenery & Gracious helpful host

The house is a beautiful, well equipped home on the side of a hill up a private driveway. The views from the house were very nice. There was a family of wild turkeys in the neighborhood, and it was fun to see their activities. It is a big house with good heating and no drafts etc inspite of 0F temperatures when we got there. I liked dealing with the owners directly instead of a management company and they were very helpful and prompt. There was an internet outage and they were able to get somebody over the next day to fix it. The kitchen utensils could use a refresh but they were all usable. Fireplace had some issues as well and would not work.However be careful with snow- We got a foot and even my 4 wheel drive got stuck - had to be pulled out by a tow truck. The neighbors were very helpful. The house has no cell phone signal(atleast on verizon) and when internet was down - we had no way to communicate till we got to the main road.

The cabin was perfect for my family of 8 which included two you kids. Bedroom and bath downstairs is very private and stays cool even on a hot July day. Main floor has a bunkbed room for kids, bedroom, full bathroom, and master bedroom with private bath.Den, dining and kitchen area is spacious with lots of comfortable couch and chair seating. Huge deck overlooking the mountains across the way. We saw foxes and turkeys every day which was so much fun for the kids. Note that in the summer, with no a/c, the cabin faces west and the afternoon sun can heat the cabin quickly if there is no afternoon rain. We coresponded with the owner/property manager about this as soon as we checked in and within 2 hours the property manager delivered 3 large fans and 3 small fans to make us more comfortable. The cabin is only about a mile from the quaint town of Idaho Springs which has lots of cool restaurants and shops as well as a rec center with a huge indoor pool with slides and lazy river which our grandkids loved. We loved our stay in Idaho Springs!

About the host

Hosted by Derek Barnes

Host profile image
I am a mom of two wonderful kids and our family loves being out in nature. It is an honor to share our beautiful cabin with you!

Why they chose this property

This is a very quiet, peaceful neighborhood. You cross an adorable bridge over little creek to get to the cabin. You will be surrounded by trees and national forest - but you are only a 2-minute drive to town!

What makes this property unique

You cannot ask for a more convenient location - there is a grocery store, restaurants, shops, etc. only a mile away. And yet, you are truly in the mountains... One of our favorite things about the cabin is that there is so much wildlife nearby. Wild turkeys come down the mountain every day and you can see them right from the deck, as well as elk, deer, and a gorgeous red fox we've named Freddy!
