Our daughter was getting married at Blackstone Rivers Ranch and the home was in close distance, the drive was beautiful! The home was very accommodating and they welcomed our family and 2 of our furry 4 legged dogs. The home is beautiful and had everything to make you feel like you were at home. Her response to any of the questions I had was quickly and handled very professionally. Thank you so much for the comfort and the warm welcome to your home! We will definitely consider another stay and definitely refer any and everyone to to your home! Best, the Carbajals-Wheeler Texas

Beautiful home out in St. Mary’s. Would absolutely come again - the hike was so fun and the property was very nice. Roads to get out there are windy and long, will take a good 30 min to get to Idaho Springs. Consider this if you’re looking to be close to a town. All in all, great stay and would come back.

We loved our stay. House was clean and very spacious. Host was quick to respond with questions. The driveway is a bit hard to get in/out of. You have to walk down a path to get into the house. It's a bit of a struggle with a lot of luggage and/or groceries. Would definitely stay here again.

A very cozy cabin. Has some heated floors throughout, a wood burning stove and a great kitchen for a big crowd. Kids enjoyed the dartboard and foosball table. We came at peak time for the Aspens so weather was good, but if it were snow or ice the walk to the cabin down the steps would be treacherous! It is also noted you are over 10,000 ft so come hydrated! We suffered a bit of elevation sickness with slight headaches but wasn't terrible. We even stayed at 5500 elevation the night before. We were a bit disappointed with the hot tub. It was very cloudy and jets were not strong at all. Being that I rented the cabin especially for the hot tub that was very much a disappointment. We also didn't have a working dryer while we were there that definitely put a damper on things, but no fault of owners. We enjoyed the coffee shop right down the street and a nearby hike to a lake. We even saw 3 moose across the street from the coffee shop! The Mountain View's were beautiful and host was responsive.

Everything was nice. It was a surprise that the driveway was quite a steep hill. Luckily, my husband and family members didn’t mind pulling in, but I would be intimidated if I was by myself. Also, the long walkway down the hill was very steep and much longer than depicted online definitely not for older folks, or anyone with knee troubles.

The home was cozy and our hosts were very responsive to some unexpected needs that came up. The only thing I would say is I wish there would have been more of a advisory or notice of the distance and climb it takes to get from the top of the road to the house.

Great Mountain Escape!

Came up with a group of coworkers for a reunion, the cabin is spacious and perfect for large groups, and the view is amazing from the porch. Excellent place for a five star mountain cabin retreat with friends and family. The owners were very communicative and thorough in their check in and check out process. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Response from VrboOwner on 21 July 2025
Thank you for the review. I am sorry you felt the home wasn't super clean, we do our best to maintain a high quality and will address with our cleaners. With regard to the hot tub, I wish you told me during your stay so we could have addressed the issue - sometimes if the wrong button is selected, it can accidentally get knocked into a mode that doesn't maintain the heat or circulation - and it can be easily fixed! Next time reach out to us during your stay. Our address is provided early on and the VRBO maps show the home is up the mountain in St. Mary's, so yes, this is about a 20 minutes drive to the town of Idaho Springs. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

GET AWAY FROM IT ALL

If you want to escape the everyday drag of city life, come up here. Nice place. Kid friendly. They played outside on the tire swing every day for hours. Everything you need is there. Good close by fishing. Town is a bit of a drive but that's what you get when you want to get away.

We weren't able to make it into the house because of an icy pathway. The first section of rope used to help your way down the path was missing.
What the real icy, slick, steep, dangerous pathway is going down to the house.

Women’s retreat

Great stay! All the ladies loved it! Roomy and cozy! We had a few issues. Property entrance is difficult to get to! Especially if you have a lot of items which we did. The path ended at a certain point and the path was icy! The dishwasher was broken so we washed everything by hand last complaint was the hot tub. It was gross! It probably should just be replaced or removed.

Thank you for the review Lamar. We are sorry about the difficulty you had with the entrance, the path is in the photos for everyone to see up front and we didn't realize the ice was an issue and had our snow plow team come right away when you alerted us. We confirmed the dishwasher was working so may have just been a confusion on how to use it. Our hot tub is also in good condition so we are not sure why you didn't enjoy it - this is the first time we heard about this, so please let us know during your stay in the future, so we can quickly address it and add to your enjoyable vacation. Thanks again - Denise & Anthony
