Great mountain retreat, centrally located
We rented the 3 Owls Retreat for a spring break family gathering/ski trip, which coincided with the March 2024 snowstorm in the Front Range. Communication with the host was uniformly positive, clear, and helpful. The instruction manual for the property is probably the best I've encountered in my limited experience. We spent a lot of time together in the kitchen and open format dining/living room, which worked well. Bedrooms and furnishings were all more than satisfactory.
As mentioned, the area had 30+" of snow in about 36 hours. This shut down I-70, as well as nearby ski areas; power was out for about 18 hours. Fortunately, the hosts anticipated such situations and there were lanterns, backup jugs of drinking water, a downstairs LP fireplace & upstairs wood stove which were sufficient to heat the home. This foresight was very much appreciated.
This property is located a short distance up a gravel road which, under normal conditions, is readily passable by a standard 2WD vehicle. With this snowfall, the main paved road didn't get plowed until well after the snow ended (understandably), and the local road serving this property and others up the valley did not get plowed at all by the time we left. Our gang of teenagers pitched in to clear enough for our cars to get out but it took most of a day.
Overall, this property is ideal for mid to slightly larger gatherings of family and close friends. Nearby Idaho Springs is a good home-base. We wouldn’t hesitate to come back.
