The home was just as described and well appointed. The backyard was beautiful with plenty of seating, fire pit and BBQ grill. The owner was very responsive. The mattresses and pillows were some of the best I have experienced at a VRBO rental.
The house was very unique and stocked with everything we might possibly need and then some. The house, and the town of Idaho Springs, are very conveniently located, so it’s a breeze to get in and out whether headed to Denver or the Ski slopes to the west. The house had plenty of space for our group of six and we enjoyed the private backyard area each evening.
This property is great! My group of 5 adults spends a few days skiing at Loveland every year. We enjoy staying in Idaho Springs for the convenience to the ski area and the amenities in town. Jonathan’s property has all the comforts of home. Plenty of room for several people to sleep, eat and just sit around and relax. Easy access to town and getting on I-70 to hit the mountains. Jonathan is quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have. We will definitely come back!
This was a great place to stay for my friends and I for a ski vacation. Only about 45 minutes away from some of the best ski resorts. The place itself and a spacious living room and everything we needed for 7 people. Really cool backyard and a nice tv! Highly recommend.
This is a large but homey cabin. It was clean with nice beds and furniture. Our kids loved the television there with Hulu on it. There is also a nice backyard. The coffee station with snacks was a nice treat. Thank you for the great stay!:-)
The house was exactly as described. It was incredibly well furnished- there was tremendous attention to detail. We throughly enjoyed the backyard as well. It was the ideal place to visit family in Idaho Springs.
Jonathan was extremely easy to contact and communicate with. He always responded very prompt by both email and text.
Excellent experiences. Would definitely stay there again.
Our stay was amazing from start to finish. The house is clean, comfortable and well stocked. It felt like a home away from home. The check in was easy and exactly as described. There is plenty of space to spread out and relax. Every detail was well thought out. The kitchen was well stocked and had everything to cook just like we were home. Jonathan was super responsive and a great host. We would definitely stay again!
We were looking for an overflow location for a family reunion being held in Idaho Springs. Early morning on the patio was my time to recharge for the day.

House needs work
This house is in need a lot of work. Beds were uncomfortable, appliances are falling apart, floors are not even. Definitely not worth the money. Many nicer places to stay in Idaho Springs for less money.
We enjoyed the convenient location, size, amenities, warmth, comfort, welcoming feeling of the home. The host was thoughtful, compassionate, well-spoken, generous and kind. It snowed quite a bit and he went out of his way to shovel sidewalks and parking spots for three cars. He created a warm, memorable experience for everyone once we walked through the door. He had great games and movies. FUN, FUN, FUN!
This house was very large and spacious. The primary bedroom was extremely large and the others were very comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything you could need and more. We loved being able to walk to the cute downtown with many shops and restaurants. Our sons also enjoyed walking to Clear Creek to fish. The walkway along Clear Creek is lovely and another way to get into town.
Awesome older house with updates. Host was very responsive. Suited our needs for the weekend perfectly. Private backyard was great for hanging out. Definitely staying here agian if we have reason to be in the area!
The backyard and picnic table helped get the family together for dinners and card games outside. We loved the space inside. This home was a very comfortable stay for us. Location was perfect for our white water rafting trip, st marys glacier hike, & a trip into denver.
We had a wonderful stay here. The place was very cozy, comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. The owner is very friendly and responds quickly to questions. I would rent this place again.
House was great for my family's mini vacation. Loved the back yard with the fire pit to relax around in the evening. Great master bedroom and the sheets on the beds were wonderful!
