Spacious Mountain Retreat

Great place to stay in Georgetown, CO. We came up for the weekend to do some hiking in the area. The host sent us the door code and directions ahead of time, which made it super easy to get there and get settled. We really appreciated the number of beds as we had ten of us there! And the large, well-stocked kitchen and dining area were also great.

Georgetown stay

Such a wonderful experience at the Saxton mountain retreat. We stayed over Christmas and the cabin with the snow was magical. The owners made sure we were comfortable and even cleared the driveway prior to us leaving. Super thoughtful. Highly recommend.

Great Mountain House

This house was amazing. We had a great time, it was more than large enough for 4 adults and 6 kids. The pictures don't do it justice. It was very nice and we don't have any complaints at all.

Georgetown destination Wedding

Homey rustic property with nice views. Owner was very friendly and accommodating. Do be aware that the driveway to this property is steep and the one lane road that proceeds it which leads to a trail head is not for the faint of heart.

Great for Ski Trip with Friends and Family

8 adults and 6 kids stayed here and the place was plenty big. Probably could have squeezed in another 4 adults and 4 kids with the amount of beds. Frank has the house WELL stocked with everything you could need from movies to board games to candles for mood light in the tub to a pack and play for the babies to condiments in the fridge and pantry. It was wonderful. And that's not to mention that Frank showed up while we were gone skiing to shovel the driveway even though we told him it wasn't necessary.

Amazing home!

I had some friends come in town for a ski weekend. We found this house and it looked perfect online! The owner was very informative and sent check-in instructions in advance. He shared that he would also check in on the hot tub to insure safe use throughout the stay. My group loved the house and the accommodations. If I am looking for another ski trip in the future, I would love to book this house again! 10/10

Special gem of a spot

This house is so lovely and unique - gorgeous layout and design with plenty of skylights and large windows to bathe it in natural light. There are lots of nooks and crannies to spread out and hang out without being on top of each other. Lots of bathrooms and sleeping arrangements to keep everyone comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked with essentials and extras (we made use of the pancake griddle and crockpots). The hot tub view of the mountainside is lovely. Lots of hiking right out the door without having to get in the car, and plenty of skiing and trails within a short drive. Frank was a great host, communicating everything we needed clearly and being available if we needed anything - which we didn't! Loved this house, and we plan to come back.

The home was beautifully maintained and exactly as pictured. The décor was cozy and reflected the Colorado mountain vibe perfectly. It was well-stocked—from kitchen essentials to other useful items. Perfect location for hiking, skiing, or just relaxing in nature and close to great restaurants and shops. The hot tub was a highlight after long days of exploring. Great layout for families or groups—plenty of space to spread out. The host was responsive, friendly and check-in was seamless, and communication was top-notch.
