This house is beautifully situated in the mountains with picture-perfect views. We were visited by wildlife: birds, turkeys, a buck, and a bobcat. The house was easy to access and was a suitable distance for traveling around to surrounding small towns (Black Hawk, Nederland, Rollinsville, Idaho Springs). The hot tub was a nice addition and very clean. Our host provided friendly communication and was readily available if we had needed them. Staying here was peaceful and rejuvenating - highly recommend!

We're so glad this mountain setting delivered on peace and beauty, from the wildlife sightings to those picture-perfect views. It's wonderful to hear the location made it easy to explore nearby towns like Black Hawk, Nederland, Rollinsville, and Idaho Springs, and that the hot tub added a relaxing touch to your stay. Thank you for the kind words about communication - we're happy this trip felt like the rejuvenating escape it was meant to be.

We had a fantastic time. The home was beautiful, clean, and comfy. The view was amazing. So many windows!The outdoor fenced area was so peaceful. We used the bbq and it worked great. The kitchen had all your comforts of home. The hot tub was so nice and relaxing but it is worth noting it is nicely indoors but the chlorine smell can be a bit overwhelming. We opened the doors and windows and that helped a lot. Unfortunately we did not see any moose but the deers, turkey, chipmunks and other wildlife were fun to watch and listen to.We were able to use Uber/Lyft to go down to the casinos. It is a short drive and the town is really cute but avoid the large casino area go to the older ones down the street. Highly recommend this home as your next stay.

It's wonderful to hear the outdoor space, BBQ, kitchen, and hot tub all added to a relaxing visit, and that you got to enjoy the local wildlife and easy access into town. We have adjusted our hot tub chemistry and appreciate your feedback. Thank you for the thoughtful details and the kind recommendation, it truly means a lot!

Simply special

This house exceeded all expectations and hopes. The view is excellent and the house is very comfy to be in. They even have a little fenced-in yard that our dog enjoyed. If and when we visit again, there's no other house we would consider if this one is available.

LOVED the house and location! Excellent communication and very clean!

The house was amazing and super clean. We absolutely loved it. When we were hit with a surprise snow storm both the management company and owners were very communicative and ensured we had everything we needed to be safe and enjoy our stay. We can't wait to go back next year! Perfect for a family or for a couples adventure. Highly recommend this property. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans and other cooking tools and the hot tub was perfect for relaxing while watching it snow!
