Scott and Angie were at my home for about three weeks, I have never rented my home for that long prior to encountering them. I was so pleased and surprised by their efforts and everything they did. I can’t say enough good things about them. It was my lucky day when they booked my home. Thank you so much you guys. I hope you come back again. Thank you Kenny.

Cozy mountain home by a bubbling stream. The home was well kept, and the layout provided 'together time' as well as time apart to rest and regroup. Beds, very comfy. Kitchen well stocked. Very close to town of Idaho Springs and many hiking trails. What a treat this was from NC all the way to CO! Will definitely stay here again should we travel to Colorado. Thanks, Ken!

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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!!!
