🏔 Little Cabin in Historic Idaho Springs
Welcome to Little Cabin, a cozy retreat in the heart of Idaho Springs, a historic Colorado mining town once bustling with prospectors during the gold and silver rush of the late 19th century. Built during that era, the cabin blends vintage charm with modern comfort.

Winter: skiing, snowboarding, sledding, snowmobiling, and ice skating.
Summer: white-water rafting, mountain climbing, biking, hiking, and fishing.
You’ll also find nearby trails, lakes, parks, restaurants, shops, museums, and countless opportunities to explore the Rocky Mountains.
Cabin Features:
2 bedrooms – each furnished with a queen-size bed
Living room – with a pull-out sleeper sofa for extra guests
Remodeled bathroom – featuring a new shower and vanity

About the host
Hosted by Julia W
Our family loves the Colorado Rocky Mountains and all activities they can offer: skiing, snowboarding, biking, taking trails, fishing, and white water rafting. We love Colorado's history (especially the Colorado Gold Rush period), small historic mining towns, beautiful nature, and abundant watchable wildlife.
Why they chose this property
Our family always wanted to have a small house nearby a ski resort. The Idaho Springs house happens to be a great location. A lot of historic sites around and small old mining towns with gorgeous Victorian architecture, museums, restaurants, antique shops, beautiful lakes, trails, etc. Only 15 miles to Loveland Ski Resort, close to other famous places such as Silverthorne, Breckenridge, Vail...
