This was a beautiful home, close enough to Denver for a weekend getaway. Lovely and scenic outdoor spaces to eat, drink and hang out on multiple levels of deck overlooking the lake
Our family had a wonderful stay at the Dreamcatcher. The kids all hiked to St. Mary’s Glacier and such a good time. We were just sorry we were not there longer. The view was outstanding, and even the rain did not hinder the beauty. We would stay there again.
The view of the lake was spectacular. We loved the wood burning stove and cozy space for the family to all hang out together. Lots of pots and kitchen utensils. We hiked to st Mary’s glacier and even saw people ice fishing on the lake next to the house. The drive off of route 70 is about 25 minutes but worth it when you get to the house at the top.
The house was spacious and comfortable. Views of the lake & mountains were nothing short of amazing. We felt lucky to get some snow during our stay as well! Will stay again.
We had a wonderful stay! The property is spacious, clean, and offers beautiful views. The trail access to St. Mary’s Glacier is a huge bonus, and the backyard access to the lake made it even better. Communication with Mary was excellent—quick, helpful, and friendly. Highly recommend!
Wow! This large rustic cabin is truly one of a kind. The setting and location are out of this world. The cabin was private, cozy and very comfortable for our party of 4 adults. We loved bbq-ing all of our meals on the deck. This place is magical.
Loved the cabin in all ways. The only thing is that the road off the highway to the property is about 25 min and can take a while if there’s snow/ice on the road.
We loved this cabin on the lake! The enormous deck offered the most beautiful views of the lake and mountains. The house was very clean and cozy. Huge bonus was being within a short walk to the trail for St Mary’s Glacier. Definitely recommend this home!
This property is amazing. We went up during a snow storm and it was absolutely beautiful. The view off the patio and across the lake is perfect. Karen was so fast to respond when we had questions. I would love to stay in this property again during the summer! The roads were also plowed every morning which made getting out much easier than we expected! I highly recommend this place.

I am so glad you enjoyed your time at The Dream Catcher. We look forward to having you again in the Summer.
We had an amazing stay at Dreamcatcher! This was our family’s first trip out to Colorado and this property was perfect. Our group was 3 adults and 2 teenagers. The property had everything we needed, beds were very comfortable and the house is clean .The views from the house are breathtaking, we even got to see a mama moose and her calf at the lake! We took daily walks up to the glacier and did the white water rafting in town, which was a lot of fun. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for sharing this amazing property!
Fabulous view and location. Great for my girls group. Loved being able to hike the St. Mary's Glacier trail from the house. Beds were comfortable and towels were good quality and appeared to be new. Dishwasher worked well as did washer and dryer. Pots, pans, and silverware need to be replaced. The fridge does not have an icemaker and there were no ice cube trays when we were there. Any easy fix for the owner.
We enjoyed the property and the location, although it could have been a bit cleaner and better stocked. Check in was flawless and Karen responded to questions very quickly. Be advised that the property is at 10,300 ft which may impact those sensitive to altitude
We truly enjoyed staying in the house! It had everything we needed with plenty of space for everyone to spread out! We had the best time and it was very relaxing. If I were going to have anything negative, more light would be good and plenty of matches/lighters to light the fire place. Those are very miniscule compared to the great things the home had to offer. Overall, we loved it and would definitely stay again.
You can’t beat the beautiful views of the mountains and lake from the deck. The house was clean, spacious, and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.
