Great for the whole family

My family has stayed here twice now and it's great! The house is well stocked with anything you might need. There's plenty of room for the whole family. The play room and outside playground mean the kiddos are entertained. The adults love the wood-burning fireplace. Less than 5 minutes from downtown. The heat is a little finnicky but we brought layers to sleep in and were fine. Phyllis is a great host!

Great Long Weekend Getaway

Great spot for a long weekend in the mountains. Plenty of room for six adults. Awesome front patio with the babbling brook in the front yard. Very close to everything in the Idaho Springs downtown area. Not too long of drive from great hikes and other outdoor activities. We really enjoyed our stay.

A home away from home

We were overcome with emotion as we entered this cozy, well lived in and loved cabin! It reminded us so much of our own home, and Phyllis made us feel so welcomed!Our six grandchildren stayed in the bunk room upstairs, while all of the adults spread out in the downstairs – plenty of room!We are family who loves to cook, so the well laid out kitchen with many staples was so appreciated! We ate all our dinners at the amazing dining room table, which we could all sit around! The quaint town of Idaho Springs was a hit with all of us, and when we weren’t skiing, we were exploring the shops and restaurants in this special place. This home was located about 30 minutes from Loveland ski resort in just a mile from downtown Idaho Springs. Great location! Phyllis was so quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had and really made us feel so comfortable in her family home. We would highly recommend this charming place for wonderful family togetherness!.

Perfect stay for the whole family

This is a wonderful stay for the whole family! The kiddos loved the treehouse and swing set outside and the play room inside. The adults loved the woodburning fireplace and cozy atmosphere. It's a beautiful home -- even better than the pictures. Would stay again!
