Great spot

5 of 5
Submitted: February 22, 2013 Stayed: July 2012
Our extended family(2 couples, 1 single and two kids) stayed here last summer. Location of the home gave you the feeling of being away from it all, but close enough to get back into town quickly. Really loved it! Great hanging out space, big kitchen, big master bedroom and bath, great porches. Idaho Springs is a great, slower pace mountain town. Loved our stay! Our only complaint, it is minor, is that the queen bed in the second bedroom was very uncomfortable.

We really enjoyed staying at this mountain retreat. It has a great kitchen area and plenty of room for a large family. We had a great time and really liked the beautiful mountains that surrounded this cabin. It is located near a national forest with lots of hiking trails. Thanks for a great stay.

My family and I stayed at this wonderful mountain retreat for 4 days and we left wanting more. I would highly recommend this home away from home to anyone wanting rest and relaxation. Russ, the owner was very helpful and accommodating.

Heavenly Secluded Retreat

5 of 5
Submitted: August 8, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
The owner, Russ, was kind enough to rent to us for only four days and three nights in August while we attended a wedding in nearby Georgetown. Seven adults were delighted with our accommodations. The attractive house was clean and comfortable. Russ was friendly and attentive....even including a bottle of Merlot for our arrival. My family and I would certainly return to this home for a winter vacation to ski at nearby resorts if the opportunity ever arises.

Quite getaway

4 of 5
Submitted: July 20, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
I would have to say overall myself and my family had a good time. I would not suggest toddlers be at this location due to the stairs that lead down to the bunk beds. It was confortable but the bunks are down there.If you want your kids by you, that would be difficult to do. I would not want my little ones next to the stairs, that would be scary so we had to watch the toddlers and make sure they did not go near there. Overall, the stay was pleasant and beautiful! The owner was exceptional! I felt I could tell him my concerns, if anything, and he was understanding. Do not try and get there in the dark. We left late and got there late at night. Barely any lighting. But we made it. If you want a place to go where it is away from it all and very peaceful..this is your place.
