Great location and host, central location easy walk or drive to several attractions and restaurants. Host was able to answer questions and give recommendations of the area and how to get there, and even took me on tour of the town. Plus stay came with Maggie which is a very friendly dog that likes attention.

Location, premises, and host were great. My only small complaint is that the host is on site and it is not clear whether a host is on site and whether you get the place to yourself. Again, the host was great it just wasn’t clear whether the host would be staying in the same house ahead of time.

Such an idyllic spot in Georgetown! We could not have asked for a better home or a more gracious host. Richard is such a great guy, and don’t get me started on his pup Maggie. We would recommend Richard‘s place wholeheartedly! Right by a small lake and only an hour or two from amazing horseback riding and rapids. Ideal.

Amazing Mountain Ambiance

What a superb place to stay if you are in the Rockies to hike, bike, ski or just enjoy the mountain air and scenery. Our host, Richard was more than accommodating and thoughtful. We so enjoyed cooking on the outdoor kitchen patio on the grill. We only regret we could not stay another night to enjoy the hot tub and more patio star gazing.

Simply Lovely

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The host was both friendly & welcoming. Possible guests do need to be aware that when the owner is on site, you will be entering through the main part of the house to get to the room for rent. If you’re an introvert or very private person, this may not be the best fit. That being said, we will be back!! It is perfectly located between the high country & Denver with amazing views for 360°!!

Above all expectations!

Richard was a great host. Every detail was first class, from the comfortable bed to the claw foot tub and rain shower with multiple spray heads. Richard’s kind demeanor and helpful knowledge regarding local events was an added touch. Maggie, Richard’s black lab is a fine door greater. Thank you Richard for all of your hospitality.

We’ll Be Back!

Georgetown was the perfect place for a quiet mountain experience. The accommodations were outstanding, and host and hostess were so friendly and fun. We may not be allowed back, but we’ll try anyway. We unknowingly fed a bear on the patio (leftovers), but the only damage was the scattered tomatoes and jalapeños off the pizza slices- evidently that bear wasn’t a fan. Host Richard has a great sense of humor and was also extremely kind as well as accommodating.

Highlights

We will never forget - The mountains. The lakes. The bighorn sheep. The fire pit and the stars. The warm welcome with snow on the ground. The fresh air. The comfortable room and claw foot tub. Maggie the Lab. Richard the host and his storytelling. Inaugurating the pergola over the hot tub. Tommyknockers Brewery and Queens Thrift in nearby Idaho Springs. A little bit of Colorado heaven.

This location was amazing. I was looking for a little writing retreat, and this was perfect. Beautiful views, absolutely charming and adorable town, super friendly people, and extremely comfortable facility. The property owner was delightful, friendly, and very helpful. The bathroom nook is very well done, very clean and new. All the linens were of superb quality, and the mattresses and pillowsWe’re luxurious. I’m definitely coming back to this, and I recommend it very highly.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Dodwell

We're a father and son team who have loved skiing and hiking together. We bought this home to enjoy the splendor of the Rockies and to allow others to enjoy it as much as we have!

Why they chose this property

Ideally located, minutes from great skiing at Loveland and hiking/fishing/climbing in the surrounding mountains. Having a vacation home in the mountains was always one of our goals, we set up the house so our guests can enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

The fantastic views and the abundance of wildlife are an added attraction, as is the quality of the environment, allowing us to escape the city and enjoy the peaceful benefits in a rustic setting.
