It was OK

We enjoyed our stay however not having a stove was a problem for us we didn't think would be and the kitchen sink is in the sitting room inside a cabinet without a light and very awkward to wash dishes that we were required to wash and put away. The one thing that was the biggest issue was the parking spot that barely fit my truck, we could not open the doors all the way and the parking place was a sheet of ice that we slipped on repeatedly. Other than that it was a beautiful location, remote enough but close to town. The hot tub was not very hot and didn't really work properly.

Lovely setting

The property was in a beautiful setting, and very close to town and attractions. I am, however, put off by all the extra charges that almost doubled the price. It was a higher cleaning fee compared to other listings, and we were required to do some cleaning ourselves upon checkout

Tranquility and Perfect!

This house is so perfect. It's cute and comfortable. It's quiet and right next to Chicago creek, you can hear perfectly from the hot tub. You are also close to Idaho Springs.

Just as advertised

Very comfortable apartment above garage. Three separate spaces to provide some privacy. Kitchen set up is good for morning coffee and drinks/snacks at night. Not ideal for cooking more than that but lots of great opportunities in town We used hot tub. Nice and clean. Listened to the running creek water. Peaceful setting!!

Nice home.

The home was nice. The owners were helpful and accommodating. I did not realize (my fault for not reading close enough about rooms and spaces) the king bed is not in an actual bedroom. And the second bedroom had the kitchenette in it. Made it a little difficult to have some privacy. Overall, a nice place to stay.

Lovely condo!

The condo was so cozy and had everything we needed for the weekend! The hot tub was especially nice after a hard day of skiing. I would definitely come back!

Lovely and Unique

This rental could not be more adorable. We were instantly in love with the unique layout, huge bathroom, and gas fireplace. We were able to take advantage of the hot tub, which was great after the days spent hiking, fishing, zip-lining, etc., in the surrounding area. We found the location to be perfectly situated amongst several activities we wanted to experience near Idaho Springs, and while the initial drive up to the front of the property was somewhat underwhelming, the actual grounds around the back are beautifully peaceful. You can even hear Chicago Creek burbling all night if you leave the windows open.

A cozy and peaceful retreat

This was such a fun little cabin getaway with everything we needed for two days of recharge. Location was perfect, felt in the middle of nowhere, but only 10 minutes to town.
