This cabin exceeded every expectation. The property and cabin are even more beautiful in person than the pictures could ever capture. Everything was spotless upon arrival, and the cabin was thoughtfully stocked with all the extras we needed to feel right at home.The location is perfect for anyone looking to enjoy Colorado's outdoor adventures, with easy access to rafting, hiking, breweries, and so much more. One of our favorite parts of the stay was relaxing in the beautiful outdoor space beside the creek. We loved watching the vibrant red bumblebees buzzing through the flowers and the numerous hummingbirds that stopped by throughout the day. It was the perfect place to unwind, and falling asleep each night to the peaceful sound of the creek was pure bliss.Idaho Springs is truly a hidden gem. The town has such a chill, relaxed, and friendly atmosphere, and Miner Street is full of charm with its wonderful restaurants, breweries, unique local shops, and music.The hosts were outstanding—friendly, responsive, and excellent communicators from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing mountain getaway. 10/10

This was a wonderful cabin to stay at for our family trip! It felt like staying at a home that was really cared for, like staying at a friend's home. The creek was delightful! We wished we could have stayed longer!

Arrived to a beautiful, clean and well-maintained Colorado mountain spot but we soon came to find out that on this property there are more do's than don'ts. Outdoor cameras made us feel uncomfortable as they were being observed while we were occupying the residence. Our family was excited to light up the chimenea near the serene, snow-covered flowing creek especially after reading all the reviews about how quaint and outdoorsy the fire was - a complete Colorado experience. But unfortunately, there was a tin cap locking out any wood from entering the opening up with a note that the county had a fire ban in place. After calling the Clear Creek county sheriffs office and finding out there was no fire ban, the owner told us it was the short-term rental (STR) arm of the county that disallowed outside visitors of rental property from lighting fires of any sort outdoors, including the gas grill. As pretty as the property was, as well-appointed and comfy the inside of the home was, there were too many distractions that took away from the experience you'd expect from renting a mountain cabin.
