Beautiful property, exactly as described. Skylights and windows allowed excellent views both day and night, plus not needing interior lighting during the day and looking at the stars at night was exceptional. Loved sitting on the back deck listening to the creek flow and watching the squirrels and birds dancing through the trees. Bonus - garage use, was fantastic. Ease of unloading and loading vehicle, protection from weather (it rained 2 days during our visit), and the added protection from any unseen wildlife at night was greatly appreciated.

Great creek sounds!

This property was almost a five. If the windows had been clean, and the had the grill been available, I would’ve given it one more star.

This is an absolutely gorgeous cabin! It was clean, well stocked, well maintained, and comfortable. The views were so beautiful, and the creek beside the house offered up the relaxation we all needed. I would highly recommend this place.

Peaceful mountain retreat

We loved this home in the mountains. The house had lots of extras to making staying comfortable, cooking and laundry super accessible. The property is gorgeous with the peaceful creek running right next to the house. We would definitely recommend and stay again! Our family of four had an incredible ski and relaxation vacation!

Mountain Get-away!

This is an amazing property! The setting with the stream is absolutely peaceful and beautiful. We felt secluded, and ate breakfast everyday out on the deck with coffee in chairs down by the stream! Also close to tons of beautiful hiking trails, activities and quaint mountain towns! It had everything we needed and wanted! We loved our stay!!

Dumont cabin

We loved this property. Great central location for activities at Red Rocks, Idaho Springs and Frisco. Nicely decorated, well stocked kitchen and bathroom essentials (hair dryer, hair products etc). Lots of windows to enjoy the sceneray and listening to the creek. We would definitely stay here again.

Kitchen was not great. Cutting board had food on it, cupboards very disorganized and hard to find stuff. hard to know what's there as it's all scattered. lids in one drawer, pans across the way in another. looked like there might be a nutribullet but only the jar there?Teflon coated pans had scrapes and scratches - get rid of them!, same for utensils! Dishwasher works fine but sounds like its breaking every time you close door. Very basic items - salt and pepper, Italian seasonings, spices, sugar -nothing has a date as to when left at house. No baking pans, one large bowl to mix with - nothing else for bowls. Sharp knives and flatware not really cleaned well. Kitchen has potential, but was subpar. faucet doesn't work well. Is not fixed on counter so swirls every time its used. Faucet doesn't flex well between streaming and shower feature. Faucet leaks if not turned off exactly right. Not enough kitchen towels.King bed needs new mattress. Kept rolling to middle. Duvet had stains on it. Gross! Queen bed not much better.Living room sofa - is it real leather? Kept sliding off. Went to look at pullout and saw candy wrapper under cushion so knew it hadn't been cleaned so didn't use. Again. gross!I would not pay what you ask for this place having stayed there. it's not worth the asking price.

Good rental home near Mount Evans

We enjoyed the beautiful area, especially the rushing creek that goes by the house. Aaron was very responsive to our request for 3 items. We liked the privacy and also the convenience of being near Mount Evans for a race. All appliances worked and beds were comfortable. So nice to have a bedroom and bath upstairs and another downstairs. We used the washer and dryer twice. Directions to the cabin were good. Great trip!

Creek side Cabin in Dumont

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We absolutely loved our 6 night stay here. The property was just as it was described. Truly a beautiful setting. We enjoyed sitting outside on the deck and down by the creek. You can hear the water flowing by inside the cabin and it was so relaxing. We cooked on the gas grill and found the kitchen had every supply we needed. The wood burning stove was nice and plenty of wood was provided. The bed and linens were so comfortable. Plenty of towels and toiletries were available. We had no issue with internet service. Check in and check out was easy. Grocery shopping was nearby in Idaho Springs & Beau Jo’s was a great place for pizza. A walk around Georgetown lake was nice & visiting Cabin Creek brewing for a beer. Saint Mary’s Glacier was close & we saw plenty of moose. We also hiked Mount Flora & the North Tenmile Trail. There is so much to do right outside your doorstep. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here & hated to leave. Definitely plan to come back and stay here again!

Great location!

This adorable house is located in a wonderful secluded location. The beds were extremely comfortable!! Parts of the home have been modernized, but others have not. The locks on the doors are tricky, and although there are instructions on how to use them, they’re not very easy. Mostly everything you need will be provided, but you should know there are no food storage containers, chip clips, or an ice cream scoop. Just sharing here so you know you need to bring these with you if you plan on packing a picnic lunch like we did.
