Really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean. The atmosphere was wonderful. Close to a lot of fun and beautiful adventures. Would definitely go again!
Quiet and relaxing. Creek next to the property is fun to explore and adds a tranquility to the stay. Definitely off the path and in seclusion, closest towns are Dumont and Idaho Springs, which have plenty of restaurant options and a grocery store.

This house was a wonderful escape from the city. It was very isolated, quiet, and beautiful! Wild turkeys came to visit!
The cabin was absolutely incredible! Loved being in the forest and the stream babbling along it was beautiful. It was very well equipped with everything we could ever need. Very clean, towels were soft and thick and the vacation rental collection of shampoos, lotion, bathroom spray, kitchen wipes and a fresh new sponge was delightful.

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.

Thank you for your glowing review! We’re thrilled to hear you found the cabin gorgeous, clean, and well-stocked. It’s wonderful to know that the views and the creek provided the relaxation you needed. Your high recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to the opportunity to host you again in the future!
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.

Thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the property just as described, from the natural light and stargazing at night to relaxing on the deck with the peaceful creek and wildlife. We’re also glad the garage made your stay even more convenient and comfortable, especially with the rainy weather. We’d love to welcome you back for another visit!
We had such a great stay! Great central location to Estes Park and Breckenridge. Make sure if you visit in winter you have 4 wheel drive or chains!! Very steep entry
