Enjoyed our stay! Lots of space for our group of 6 adults. The location was wonderful for everything we wanted to do. Lighting overall was too soft and could benefit from white lights in lieu of yellow. A postive experience and would stay again.

Property was beautiful and exactly as described. We really enjoyed the quiet beauty of the home and creek, all the skylights, the cozy and well-equipped kitchen, dining room, and upstairs for playing games, the proximity to Idaho Springs, and the relaxing weekend away. Kiddo loved the train room and playground, and the kids' bunk room is isolated upstairs from the rest of the house which is great for getting kids to sleep when adults are still making noise elsewhere. Our only (minor) suggestion is to procure thicker toilet paper.

Family vacation

It is a beautiful property inside and out. The river runs several feet outside the door for a relaxing environment. We have people of all ages. Some prefer to sit outside and enjoy the outdoors close by. Our group also had hikers who love to find great hikes in the vicinity. The area offers good restaurants and fun shops. There is something for everyone. The house is roomy and people can find a nook away or hang out in the main room. Kitchen is nice for preparing family meals. It was a great time.

Lovely mountain cabin with lots of space

Very quaint mountain home perfect for multi-generation or large family groups. Lots of space to spread out. No one felt crowded. Very well stocked with extra blankets for chilly mountain air. Beautiful front porch with creek running right by makes for a wonderful place for morning coffee or evening wind down. Wide variety of games to reconnect without screens. Very close to downtown Idaho Springs for groceries or exploring. And a great launch-pad to Denver or other mountain vistas. Owners very responsive if needs arise.
