We came up to Idaho Springs for mu sons wedding. This property was perfect. There were deer on the property right up to the house almost every morning. The property was just the right size. We even got to go out on the upstairs balcony and take amazing pics of the stars

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.

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.

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!

Absolutely Gorgeous
Property and house are both amazing!! We were able to hike on the property back to a waterfall area which was gorgeous. You do not have cell reception outside of the house (house had WiFi) but it’s nice to be able to disconnect from phones (especially when you have a teenage daughter!). Brian was easy to get ahold of if we had any questions and responded. Would highly recommend this property to anyone!

Great house in the mountains
The moment you walk in, the pictures don’t do it justice. A very pretty well furnished home. Brian was easy to get a hold of and answered question we had. We had to cut our stay short because of the MAJOR snow storm that was coming in Wednesday afternoon and Thursday all day. We would definitely stay there again.

Great stay for a ski trip with friends
We stayed at this property for 4 nights and the stay was really good. Owner was very responsive and it was very quiet neighborhood. One small problem was that the internet speed, it was pretty slow and owner also did not know what was going on. Apart from that everything else was really cool.

Great Place to Stay!
The house was just as advertised, it is spacious and in a quiet neighborhood in the mountains. The house has everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent and prompt when we needed something or had a question. Our family of 10 stayed for a week and really enjoyed our stay. It's close enough to Denver, yet far enough. The small ski resort up the road was nice too and there's a Safeway for groceries in Idaho Springs on the way up before getting to the house. The property is really nice and we enjoyed the hike in the area. There is no service once you get on the 103 though, but the WiFi at the house worked well. We are really glad we found this VRBO and would definitely recommend it to others and would stay again. -Amy

Luxury Mountain Home
Beautiful home with hills surrounding. Deck is great for stargazing and there’s a nice trail to explore the area. Home had everything you’d need. There is zero cell service but internet was pretty good. TV has cable but no streaming services to log into. Reminder to future guests to make sure and deactivate the alarm quickly once you enter. I titled this luxury mountain home as most of the rental homes in the area are outdated. This house looked very nice inside and out. Overall a great stay!

Beautiful home with fabulous views and so much to do nearby. We enjoyed shopping, dining and ziplining in the small town of Idaho Springs. Red Rocks Amphitheater was an easy drive for a concert we were attending. We only wish out trip was longer so we could have enjoyed the house a little longer. I definitely recommend this property.

Lots of Room--Inside and Out
This large cabin has all of the comforts of home with plenty of space for the six of us to come together to play games and find our own little nooks for reading books or surfing with our devices. The property also has easy hiking trails that lead to more challenging trails, one leading to the top of Mt. Evans. NOTE: This property is at close to 10,000 feet of elevation, so be aware if you need to acclimatize your body before sleeping at this elevation.

Family vacation
I booked the location for myself, my wife and my teenage daughter. My sister, Father and his wife joined us. We had a wonderful time and the house, amenities and views were wonderful. If I had any critique it would be to possibly put together a quick sheet on how to work the TV, Direct TV and the DVD player. It took us about 2-3 days to figure out some of the settings to simply watch a movie together. All and all, we had a great time and would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a beautiful mountain retreat. John C Daugherty
