This house was so perfect for our family's get away. The host was responsive and very kind. The house has so much to offer. The sauna was a huge favorite for my family. From the game cabinet, to the kitchen spices and little thoughtful items under the bathroom sinks, this house has everything to make your stay amazing.
We had such a great time at this place. The mountain views are absolutely stunningâwaking up to that every morning never got old.What really surprised us was how comfortable everything was for being an off-grid house. It stayed super cozy and warm the whole time, and the beds/linens were actually better than what we have at home. We also spent a ton of time in the sauna and meditation room, which was such a nice touch for a relaxing weekend.A few other things we loved:The Kitchen: Usually rentals have the bare minimum, but this kitchen was actually well-stocked with everything we needed.The Vibes: Being off the grid was a really cool experience, but it was still super easy to manage thanks to the clear instructions the hosts left.The Hosts: They were really easy to reach and got back to us right away when we had a question.If youâre looking for a quiet, comfortable spot to reset, I can't recommend this place enough. Weâll definitely be back!
This house is perfect for a couple or a family getaway. Extremely clean, organized, and spacious. It wasn't snowing, but we could only imagine what it would be like to be "stuck" here in a winter wonderland! Sheri was responsive and quick to answer any question we had. If I owned a VRBO, THIS is how I would operate. Do yourself a favor and spend the money to do it right!
Loved our off-grid experience! Amazing views of the surrounding mountains. Good proximity to Idaho Springs and other areas off I-70. The "extras" we really enjoyed - the wood-fired sauna, sitting around the fire table with family, and just sitting on the porch to take in the mountains during the day and stars at night. Everything with being "off-grid" worked perfectly - really didn't have to think about it at all.The kitchen was stocked well enough to cook meals in when we didn't want to head out. Good supply of basics and linens were sufficient. Loved having a washer/dryer - just remember to use during the daylight hours.We had expected to be able to do some hiking from the house, but other than walking the road we were on, we didn't find any trails close by (maybe we missed them). But with the location of the home, we had short drives to some fun hikes (e.g. St. Mary's Glacier). Highly recommend a stay here - just be prepared to live at altitude.
This house was even better than the pictures! We went for my dadâs surprise 60th birthday trip, and it exceeded expectations. We even played a game where we would hide a red hat around the house and compete for who could find it the most times. It really felt like home and I wish we booked a longer trip! The Sauna, grill, and yoga room were huge bonuses. Hoping itâs available for whenever we come through town next. If youâre looking for a relaxing mountain getaway with panoramic Mountain views, look no further.
The shortest review would be, rent this place! I travel a lot and this is one of the rarest true 5 star places I have ever stayed. This place was definitely designed with luxury and intention in every way. The views are spectacular and no picture can do it justice. The road up to the house really added charm. The owners were very responsive. There wasn't a real need to reach out to them but we had some simple questions concerning kitchen appliances because of a flight delay. The owners responded quickly and offered to set the driveway lights to a later time in case it was dark when we arrived. The kitchen was very well equipped as was the remainder of the house. We did see one neighbor walking a dog, who was very kind but that was the only other human we saw the whole time we were at the house. This location served us well for seeing the town of Idaho Springs, Breckinridge, Downtown Denver, and Red Rocks. We did use the sauna and meditation rooms and they were amazing. Our favorite part was coffee and breakfast on the expansive deck and amazing views. We are looking forward to returning! If you have never lived off grid, do not worry at all, you will not notice.
Wow is all we can say! They have thought of everything! This place is extremely clean and well thought out. The sauna was incredible to enjoy and just look out at the amazing view of the mountains. Every room has a great view. The kitchen was great to cook in and had everything we needed. The host Sheri was so wonderful at getting back to us quickly, if we had any questions or needed help. We had such an amazing stay. We loved the location and the town of Idaho Springs was only 10 minutes away. We canât wait to explore the little town next time we stay! We canât wait to come back and stay at this beautiful place again!
Great visit. Great host. Sheri and Tim were to the point, offered to let us in early, and generally nice. Sometimes hosts are picky off-putting, they were great. The cabin is perfect with great views. Wildlife and great views. Check out Beau Jo's pizza in down town Idaho Springs.
Beautiful property inside and out. We enjoyed every part of our stay here. We finished a couple of puzzles and played some cards. It was the perfect ground zero for our adventures which included a concert at Red Rocks and some hiking. Idaho Springs was a wonderful bonus!
This house was perfect for our family vacation. Beautiful views, peaceful yet convenient location, comfortable and house had everything we needed. We would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful stay! The place was beautiful, nestled in the mountains with stunning views. The space was large, spotless, and had everything we needed for a comfortable trip. The host was incredibly helpful and responsive, especially when one of my friends accidentally left their personal item behind. They went above and beyond to help us find it and are even shipping it back to us. We really appreciated the great communication and hospitality.One thing for future guests to note: we highly recommend arriving during the daytime, as the road leading to the house is a bit narrow. Other than that, everything was perfect. Highly recommend this stay for a peaceful and scenic mountain getaway!
This home is sublime, plenty of space, immaculately clean and the views from the wrap around deck were breathtaking! A quick drive from Idaho Springs, Mountain Livân is the perfect getaway from city life.
This mountain home is exactly what we needed! It is located only about 40 minutes from Denver but completely off the grid. There are stunning views in all directions. The house is solar powered and we had no issues with staying warm on the winter nights. Idaho Springs is close by for food and excursions but we ended up staying the whole time at the house. The sauna was a nice touch, especially in the winter. Just an FYI, it took nearly 2 hours to heat in the winter so just plan ahead. The last part of the hill is hard to drive up in the snow, even with 4-wheel drive. However, the roads do get plowed, and once plowed it is not as issue. The owners of this home are very good with communication, and always responded within minutes. We will definitely be back in the future!
