Easy walk to downtown Georgetown while still feeling somewhat secluded. Very cozy and peaceful place to stay. It is tiny but has everything you need for a short stay and enough room we were able to put our dog's crate near the bed without being in the way. Host was easy to communicate with and the whole place was very clean

This property was perfect for a little mountain get away. Close to town, but still private and on the water.

Little gem

This is my second time staying here, and I plan on coming back. One you are in the parking lot, all you hear is the sound of the creek. The table and chairs is a great addition. The only thing I would like, is a big table outside. Eating outside by the creek is the best, I spent more time there, than inside. Definitely a great place with 1-2 people. Close to Georgetown and not far from Idaho Springs.

A Magical Stay

The Cricket is the best! Its location allows for a feeling of being isolated in nature, yet is only a short walk from the shops, restaurants, and other amenities of downtown Georgetown. The cabin is cozy, but with everything you might need (other than pods for the strange coffeemaker. There were not even any available for purchase in town, so take some with you! Or you will need to do as I did, and buy a coffeemaker you can actually use). Other than that, it was delightful and I would certainly stay at The Cricket again.

Nice Property for a short stay.

I booked this property from the pictures I viewed on the internet. The cabin is small, but has everything you would need for an enjoyable stay for two people. All basics are supplied. You do have to put the Murphy bed up and down each day. The bed is comfortable. I did not realize how close the cabin is to the creek and being spring time it was high water and made us a little nervous how close the water was to the cabin and how fast the water was. In fact the last night of our stay we stayed at a motel. The owner did reply quickly to our questions.

Exactly as advertised—such a precious cottage with so much character. Being a 1920s build, it definitely comes with the quirks you’d expect. The floors are very creaky (one specific spot right before the bathroom is especially loud), so if someone gets up during the night, it will likely wake you. The bed also has quite a bit of movement, so light sleepers may notice when a partner shifts. We didn’t get the best sleep because of those things—but again, that’s part of staying in an older home and not something I’d take stars off for. If anything, a small rug in that area before the bathroom might help dampen some of the noise. For future guests who are light sleepers, I’d just recommend bringing earplugs.The host was wonderful, the town is absolutely precious, and there are so many great hiking spots nearby. The river just outside the door is incredible—you can even open the windows and hear it, which was such a peaceful highlight.Overall, a 5-star stay and exactly what you’d expect from a cozy, historic cottage—I’m only mentioning the noise so other light sleepers can plan accordingly. Earplugs would be helpful or maybe opening all of the windows at night (it was too cold for us to do that). This is a precious, memorable stay. 5 stars.

Happy Place

This piece of paradise is just a 45 minute drive from Denver, yet it feels as though you've entered a different world entirely. By far, my #1 reason to stay here is Clear Creek. The cabin sits right on the creek, the view is breathtaking and the roar of the water soothes the soul. It's magical. Although the property is close to I-70, you would never know. The sound of the creek drowns out any traffic noise from the highway. The Cricket is entirely surrounded by evergreens, aspens and the creek, and you can't see your neighbors. The result is feeling like you are removed from the rest of the world. The price is reasonable, and the cabin, (tiny but well stocked) is perfect for two people. In addition, Robin so helpful and prompt in replying to questions. My stay here was good for my soul, and I can't wait to return.

The Cricket is a wonderful getaway for any couple looking to relax by the creek and explore historical Georgetown, which is just a 5-minute walk away with restaurants and gift shops all around. It’s most definitely cozy and brings a warm and welcoming environment. I would highly recommend this wonderful little gem to anyone looking to reset and unwind!

The Cricket on Clear Creek

What a beautiful little perfect cabin. With Clear Creek less than 10 feet away, the setting could not be any prettier. The Cricket was sparkling clean and everything worked very well. Our hosts were very friendly and super-responsive too. We'll definitely be back to stay in this little gem.

Mountain Paradise

The cabin was as pictured online. Quaint, clean, had everything we needed. The creek was the highlight. Even with light rain we enjoyed sitting in the chairs for morning coffee or standing under the protection of a tree mesmerized by the beauty surrounding us. One morning woke up to a family of mule deer having breakfast at the end of the driveway. The Cricket was everything we expected and more. Looking forward to our next stay. Thank you Robin, for sharing your peace of paradise.

Beautiful, peaceful, just perfect!

This cabin is the perfect place to get away from it all! Town is just down the road, but feels like you're miles away. We enjoyed going out, but preferred staying "home". Absolutely loved it, will definitely be back!

"The Cricket" Experience!

Thank you so much for a lovely place for us to "relax" and just enjoy the beautiful mountain views. The Cricket is so lovely and so well loved and maintained. It felt like home! Thank you so much Robin for making our stay just perfect! All the little "extra's" that you provide made all the difference! We loved it!
