The cabin was wonderful for a girls’ weekend! Description and pictures are accurate. Plenty of space for 6-8 adults. The wrap around porch is awesome and the main floor kitchen / living area is a great gathering spot. You are definitely in nature but still only 10 min from Idaho Springs town with shopping, breweries, restaurants, etc. Liz was responsive. Check-in was easy. Minor feedback: refresh outdoor cushions and add a storage bin. Also - we couldn’t figure out how to cast to the TV to watch sports / live TV (maybe user error and not totally necessary for a weekend trip). 10/10 would stay again!

Family Vacation 2025

Property and surroundings were amazing. The house was perfect for our group of 8 adults and 4 kids. We were disappointed that the fire pit and grill had been removed due to regulations. The beautiful walkway, seating and fire pit was a main selling point when we were renting this property. The house is fully equipped with anything you would need. No AC but as we were out during the day it cooled down quickly for sleeping. The brook right by the house was pleasant to listen to at night. We had a couple foxes that came right up to the house. Very beautiful property.

Wonderful getaway house in a beautiful setting

The house is really lovely. Five bedroom and 3.5 baths and plenty of space for 10 best friends. The property is really pretty, complete with a babbling brook right outside the door and a couple of foxes who kept an eye on us during our stay. The owner was really quick to get back to me when I had questions. No cell service but there is WiFi. Great place!

Here are some areas for improvement: The lighting was unwelcoming and did not provide any ambience. There was only one thermostat in a three level house, so difficult to regulate temperature in different areas. Some of the outdoor seating was tattered badly and should’ve been thrown away. Tattered towels and bedding, one downstairs bed smelled very doggy and we had to rewash. Vacuum cleaner was completely full and had to empty, dryer was broken and needs repair. Windows, ceiling fan and chandeliers were very dirty and dusty. One upstairs room had no dresser.

Gorgeous home and views

This is a beautiful home that was perfect for our yearly trip with friends! There were 10 of us (5 couples) and we had plenty of room for hanging out together inside and out and plenty of beds and bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked and we greatly appreciated having plenty of garbage bags, toilet paper and paper towels on hand. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Future renters should know that there was a recent change in local permits which means there is no longer access to the grill or fire pit on the property. The listing is accurate but the photos still show these items and other guests mention using them in their reviews. We did not miss the grill or the fire pit because it is such a gorgeous location and the kitchen is amazing! There is no A/C but there are fans in most bedrooms so while it did get a little warm in the upstairs bedrooms during the daytime it cooled off quickly. There was very little road traffic while we were there. You can't beat the location- off the beaten path but still close to town and other attractions with amazing views. We would love to come back again!

Great week at 3 Owls Retreat

Beautiful property, well laid out for our three generation family, allowing us space to all be together and private space when we wanted some. Located just 5 miles up the Mount Evans (Mount Blue Sky) Highway from Idaho Springs, close to all the attractions/activities the area has to offer. Teenage grandkids, 40-something kids and we had a wonderful time.
