Perfect retreat

Absolutely beautiful property! The house is cozy and comfortable, and located right on the creek. Sleeping with the window open to hear the water was so relaxing. I loved coffee on the deck in the morning and the hot tub to unwind in the evening. The house is so close to town but you feel secluded. Kenny was an amazing host. I can’t wait to go back again

Family Reunion

This place was amazing. Having coffee on the wrap around deck started our days off well. There was plenty of room for our family which includes an infant. The upstairs master had more than enough room for the Pak'n'Play. We walked to town, spent an evening in the hot tub and played games at the large dining room table. This is a great property!

Sensational!!!!

Incredible time here in Idaho Springs. We enjoyed exploring the downtown area that has the best shopping and great food! About the rental, all six of us couldn't stop gushing about the place. So well decorated, tons of space, and extra cozy! We loved the hot tub and chilling on the deck by the fireplace. The host, Kenny, is super kind and responds quickly. Super cool dude (: Would absolutely go back if I'm ever planning on partying at Red Rocks again <3

Clear Creek retreat

The property on Clear Creek was everything we expected and more. The property is well maintained and clean with all of the necessary amenities. Our group enjoyed relaxing on the porch next the creek and watching the hummingbirds, which were plentiful. We were located only a short walk from downtown and utilized the walking trail nearby to get there. Ken was a fantastic host and we can't wait to go back and stay again.

Idyllic location on the river

We were a group of 7 and enjoyed having space to sit together or spread out on the deck, in the garden, hot tub or lounge. The location works really well for walking into town or hiking up the hill and then heading into town. The home is comfortable but could do with a few updates and organization, especially in the kitchen. But overall, it is a great spot to stay.

Heavenly place

This place was amazing! The water, the house, and the location… all of it was fantastic. Communication with the owner was always prompt and he gave great tips and ideas! Make sure to take the cemetery hike to town…. Stunning. All 6 of us loved it and enjoyed everything. That back deck is so wonderful

Thank you sir, may I have another!!!

This time we relaxed and enjoyed the property more versus last time driving all over the place sight seeing. This place is absolutely incredible and what makes it that way is Ken the owner. Doesn't intrude on your privacy at all but is just a text message away if you need anything. The last night we took his recommendation as we wanted a nice casino/dinner experience and the seafood tower was second to none! The more I stay here, the more I appreciate all of the little things Ken has gone out of his way to provide. Several times we were like hon, look at this, and it would be something we hadn't seen since we were kids and there's a cool factor here unlike any other VRBO we've stayed at. I can't believe I didn't notice the steam shower the last time we stayed here. Wow, that's really something!!! The sound of the river flowing, the birds, the trout, it all comes together quite nicely here at the perfect location for Idaho Springs! Highly, highly, highly recommend!!!

Fantastic

We had an amazing time at Ken’s place. He had absolutely everything we needed and more. It felt remote but was very close to the adorable town of Idaho Springs and also only a short drive to catch a show at Red Rocks. We would definitely stay here again and maybe even bring the kids next time!

23rd Wedding Anniversary Vacay

My wife and I celebrated are 23rd anniversary and met two more couples at Ken's place. The house was amazing and location is one of a kind!! Ken had all the necessary amenities needed to enjoy our 4 days stay. The wrap around deck that went over the river in the back was beautiful and I was able to catch a couple of small trout of the deck! We spent several nights out on the deck with a fire going, the grill smoking, good music playing, enjoying time with friends was perfect! The rooms & bathrooms were nice, kitchen stocked with the essentials like pots, pans & utensils and the house stayed nice and cool the whole time. The jacuzzi outside.... definitely something that needs to be done in the snow but we enjoyed it at night there under the stars! We wanted to go to a couple of places and Blackhawk and Golden were less than 30 min away but even better was Idaho Springs historic downtown only 2 minute drive! I could go on & on but you have to experience the home to realize how nice it really is! Overall this place was incredible! Definitely booking again!!

Amazing Property

Kenny was a great host and worked with us for an early check since we had an infant after a long day of flying. The house was clean and spacious and each room was very comfortable. The steam shower was fantastic. Dinner over the river was the best part of this trip and always having the Chicago River in the background! Would definitely stay here again!

Not your average VRBO here!!! Ken has gone to every length to cover all of your wants/needs and we were over the top impressed with everything about the place! His great personality is reflected throughout and we got a huge laugh when we saw the mirror after taking a shower, ha!!! Thank you Ken, your hard work really shows and is greatly appreciated!!!

We had a wonderful weekend. The house is just as pictured. Being on the water was so peaceful. We enjoyed the hot tub both nights. We went to town for meals and it was so easy. We went to Echo Mountain one day for tubing and had a blast.

Amazing Creekside Stay

My wife and I spent four days and three nights at the most amazing VRBO home. The photos on line represent the home beautifully. The creek behind the home provides a unique and tranquil ambience and there is plenty of wild life and indigenous plants surrounding the property. Inside the home is spacious, well stocked and there are so many touches the owners have thoughtfully provided. Chilled bottled water, coffee, personal hygiene supplies, fire features all set with wood and more readily available as well. The owners have provided fantastic instructions to help navigate the operations of the home and they provided great recommendations of restaurants and places of interest near by. Our personal favorites were the soaking tub, hot tub, sitting outside by the fire listening to the creek and all the surrounding natural beauty. There are many endearing decorations as well that you continually find and smile at. Such as a Ken doll climbing a ladder to reach Barbie at the top. A treasure chest filled with treasure and a hand reaching up to enjoy the riches. A row of tiny hand crafted bird houses. The home feels extremely private, yet most everything you need can be found in town minutes away. We attended a concert at the Red Rock Amphitheater and it was an easy drive there. There are also many hiking trails easily accessed from the home. It was a true pleasure staying in this home, we will be recommending it to friends and hope to return again.

Beautiful getaway

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Ken was an amazing host. He was very accommodating and flexible as well as responsive to any questions regarding the property. The home itself sits against Chicago creek, so you can sit on the deck in morning and enjoy breathtaking views or the sounds of flowing water by night. It’s located very close to hiking, rafting, and zip lining for those who have plans to be active. But between the hot tub, comfortable living space and outdoor areas, you could have a relaxing stay while still enjoying the Beaty of nature without ever leaving the house.
