About this property

Cozy Idaho Springs Cabin: near Historic District, Hot Springs, Rafting & Trails

The Mountain Cabin in Idaho Springs is an authentic miner’s cabin located in one of Colorado’s most historic mining areas, where the Colorado Gold Rush began more than 150 years ago. This charming cabin offers a unique opportunity to experience the atmosphere of an old mountain town while enjoying modern comforts.

At the end of the street, you’ll find a historic mine that can be visited with a guided tour—an unforgettable way to explore Colorado’s rich mining history.

The cabin sits on a quiet street within walking distance of Idaho Springs’ historic downtown district, where you’ll find restaurants, museums, shops, Indian Hot Springs mineral pools, white-water rafting tours, and mining tours. It is also conveniently located near many outdoor attractions, including Loveland Ski Area and Eldora Ski Resort.

Cabin Features

The cabin includes two private bedrooms, each furnished with a comfortable queen-size bed. The bedroom interiors have recently been remodeled with beautiful natural pine walls and paneling, creating a warm look and scent of a mountain forest.

The fully equipped kitchen includes a stainless-steel glass-top range, a stainless-steel hood, and a nearby cozy breakfast area. A remodeled bathroom with a shower is conveniently located between the bedrooms.

For longer stays, the cabin also includes a high-efficiency washer and dryer.

The great room features a gas stove that adds warmth and mountain ambiance. The room is decorated with a charming mountain-and-ski theme, featuring vintage snow sleds, authentic ice skates, and other rustic decorations.

Outdoor Living

Relax on the front porch with mountain views, or enjoy the large wooden deck in the back, which features a BBQ grill and comfortable patio furniture. Wildlife is often seen nearby—deer and foxes occasionally visit the area around the deck.

Comfort & Utilities

The cabin includes a central heating system with a new furnace and water heater, ensuring a comfortable stay year-round.

Whether you're visiting for skiing, hiking, rafting, or simply to enjoy the historic charm of Idaho Springs, this authentic miner’s cabin offers a cozy and memorable Rocky Mountain retreat.

Great location - Great town

Idaho Springs is considered part of the Denver metro, but you would never know it once you leave I-70. This miner's cabin is perfect and cozy. If you like authentic more than glitzy, rent this place. Julia is a great hostess. Thanks for a great fall rental.

Felt like home!

We just finished a wonderful month at this property. Idaho Springs was the perfect location to split time between Denver and the ski areas along I70. Great little town with good restaurants and shops. Julia is a great host, and responded right away when we had a couple questions, and a small problem. (The problem was my fault) The house itself is comfy and cozy. While not luxurious, it is a great value for the money. The kitchen, laundry, and bedrooms are all very functional and nice. The gas stove/heater in the living room is nice after a cold day of skiing. If you want luxury there are plenty of $500+ a night places along the I70 corridor. However if you want a nice, functional place in a cool old mining town with room to sleep 5 for a reasonable price-This is the place.
