This is a beautiful home in a beautiful location! It offered everything we needed for our stay and had ample space and bathrooms for us. Brian was super responsive whenever we had a question as well. When you visit, be sure to screenshot all pertinent codes and check in info to get into the house, as we did not have signal to retrieve the info when we arrived…Brian DID include this in his directions , but I missed it so it is noteworthy. Very simple when you follow his great directions! Wifi available once you are inside! We highly recommend and look forward to staying again!!

Incredible Mountain Property

My husband, friends, and I stayed here while in the area for a wedding at Echo Mountain. The house was perfect for our group of 6 but could accommodate many more comfortably (we didn’t use the upper floor). The house is very secluded with no cell service but WiFi worked great. It’s on a large property with a hiking trail to a beautiful creek. I loved that there were 4 bathrooms for the 4 bedrooms - this is very rare. We would definitely rent this house again.

Awesome Idaho Springs Property

Our stay at this property was exactly what we were looking for and we had a fantastic time! It had everything you could need for a stay and the owner's instructions and local guidance was much appreciated and well thought out. We loved the ability to hike on the property without having to go to public land with other people and had great views of wildlife while sitting on the porch. We would certainly book again when we are back in the area!

Great getaway

Property was as described. We went for a ski trip and everyone enjoyed the property when we returned from the ski resort. I did a little hike around the property and it was very relaxing and quiet. The covered parking at the back door was a nice added feature. We had a 4x4 and an AWD. If you go during the winter make sure you have one also. We got a lot of snow so getting to the house you need one. Again great place with lots of room for family and friends. One more thing is that we got to see a moose on our way up 103 that we got pictures of while we stopped in the road as it was crossing the highway.

Wonderful family getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We didn’t have cell reception, but the WiFi worked great and we knew about the no reception in the information that was provided. It snowed while there, but the road to house was always bladed, I would definitely recommend 4x4 in winter months. We would definitely stay there again.

Colorado Christmas

We chose this home because it was located in a central location so we could plan daily excursions to Vail, Frisco, Breckenridge, Idaho Springs and Denver. The host was excellent! We had a couple of questions and he got right back to us. Plenty of beds and bathrooms for our part of six. The beds were so comfortable. We had a blessed Christmas with my daughter’s family and two granddaughters. Ready to come back.

Destination Wedding

The layout of the property is as described and is very nice for large groups. The land is gorgeous and the seclusion is nice. However, we did have several issues. The host sent a message prior to arrival with the door code, which thankfully I screenshotted because my mom was going to arrive at the property first and I sent her the info. However, he also sent a PDF with information on how to disable the alarm. First off, it’s very strange to set an alarm on a place where you know where you will have renters. But it’s easy to disable—IF you have the instructions. There needs to be a specific message sent out warning guests that you will lose all signal partway on the drive up the mountain. If you don’t save the PDF to your phone, there is no way to access the alarm instructions once you’re at the property. We had to drive all the way back down the mountain until we had signal again to get the information. The property was also not very clean. The oven and freezer both clearly haven’t been cleaned in some time. I wiped up a water spill on the floor on our first day and the paper towel came up black. We also saw two mice run across the floor and there were mouse droppings in multiple areas. The place has so much potential but there is room for improvement. Also, when I asked if there was an iron or blow dryer, the host wasn’t sure. Turns out they had both (which was great!) but if he had actually known, it would have saved us packing the extra items. We flew in.from Florida.

Off the path

Had a great getaway. House was great, but is off the beating path. We travelled around the area and enjoyed all kinds of outdoor activities. Phone service is sparse, internet useable, but slow. However, we enjoyed the much needed slower pace. Nice rooms and bathrooms, fully stocked kitchen for cooking.

The house has great views of trees and mountains. It has a trail that leads right up to the house and goes down to a running creek. Everything we needed was in the house and easily accessible. Our family enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Stay

This was everything we could have hoped for. The property is remote but close enough to Idaho Springs for grocery and gas runs. We took day trips to a few larger towns and Rocky Mountain National Park but spent most of our time exploring trails and hiking nearby. The kitchen is amazingly well-stocked and we took full advantage of that perk. We saw deer nearly every night and once a large herd of elk. I cannot stress enough how perfect and relaxing this location is if you're looking to get away. Communication with Brian was great, I never had a question go understand and he was so accommodating. We would very happily stay here again.

Relaxing, beautiful, close to town yet far from distractions

We enjoyed a family getaway there over 4 July visiting Idaho Springs where we could Whitewater raft, hike, ATV tour, mining tour, fireworks and family time. This place was perfect. We hiked behind the property some too. Great star gazing on the upper deck. Cell service for us was poor so I was glad I had screen shots of directions as well as my door code etc since I was “off the grid” there on property. We would recommend this place and enjoyed the town of Idaho Springs!
