House was clean and comfortable. Beds were cozy. Host was very responsive. We had one minor issue getting access to the property but it was handled immediately. The reason you stay here is for the views and privacy. If you have never driven on mountain roads, arriving after dark for the first time could be a little daunting.
This was a 5 star experience all around! The location is both convenient and gorgeous. The views alone make it a bucket list destination. Golden and Idaho Springs are both 20 minutes or less and such cool mountain towns to visit. The house is beautifully furnished and very clean. The entertainment areas inside and outside the house are perfect, so many fun and relaxing spaces. Nate was a great host as well, very responsive and kind. As a luxury rental host myself I was thoroughly impressed, this truly exceeded our expectations.
My wife and I traveled to Colorado to visit Denver, see a concert at Red Rocks and finish up in Boulder. Our three night stay on Lookout mountain was the highlight. The views of the sunrise were amazing. We enjoyed the proximity to Red Rocks for the concert and the solitude of the location of the home. The neighborhood is quiet and the house comes fully equipped.
Nate’s place is amazing! It’s so close to Golden, CO and Red Rocks, it feels so serene inside and outside the home. The views are to die for. They have everything you need in their place for an amazing vacation. The movie theater downstairs is soooo fun too. We watched a movie one night for our chill night. Their hot tub is really easy to work and gets to the perfect temperature. This is the perfect place. Thank you so much for the hospitality.
If you're looking for a place with the best views, this is it. It's the main reason we decided to stay here as a group. We've stayed at other VRBO properties in other mountain ranges, canyons, etc., and this one has some of the best views we've had, day or night. We also saw some deer on the property that walked within feet of us. The host was nice enough to let us know a bear had gone through our car at night (my husband forgot to lock it, don't make that mistake!). We also saw plenty of lizards and blue birds as well. There were some cons that I'll mention but might not matter to others. There is no grill, and we did find several camel crickets, beetles and camel spiders in the cabin. Luckily we love insects and recognized what they were but someone who isn't local might be freaked out by that. We didn't realize that there wasn't a/c in the cabin. You have to open the windows (many of which don't have any screens on them, allowing bees and other insects to get in). It got up to 78-80 during the day with windows closed. The master bedroom on the top floor was the most hot, but has a small a/c unit in the corner that you will want to run. However, it is very loud and makes strange noises that may keep you up at night if you're a light sleeper. If so, there are fans to borrow from one of the downstairs bedrooms. We had a full group with us so we couldn't use the downstairs bedrooms ourselves but they were less hot than the top floor room. The beds were all very comfortable!
5 of us gathered here from various states to go to a concert at Red Rocks. Great clean, cozy home. We’ve stayed at rental homes in Estes Park and Brek. This was our all time favorite. The views are amazing, movie room was fun too. Great place!
Location was perfect for going into Idaho Springs for mountain activities or driving into Denver or Golden. Kids loved the movie theater in the basement, and were delighted to see a young buck foraging outside the house one morning. Views were amazing. Was a bit hot in the house (we were there during mid August heatwave) but temp would probably be perfect in any month other than July or August! Owners responded right away to messages/questions which I appreciated.
This was an AWESOME property!!! There are not enough stars available to accurately rate it. Nate was an extremely helpful and responsive host prior to and during the stay. This property is BEAUTIFUL!!! I was in town with 2 friends (married couple) for the TTB concert at Red Rocks and this was the perfect location. The property allowed us plenty of breathing room and lots of entertainment - the only thing we didn't check out was the hot tub. Everything else was spectacular. HIGHLY recommend this property/host and will definitely try to stay here again during my next visit.
We loved our stay at Castle in the Clouds. The property is exactly as advertised and many small things have been thought of (hot tub towels, coffee, games). My kids loved the ping pong, arcade games, and movie room. The house was super clean. The views were truly amazing - we saw crazy storms and amazing sunsets and sunrises, and watched as we were enveloped in a cloud. We loved seeing some wildlife as well. Nate was kind enough to allow us to check in early which was much appreciated. Quick ride to Golden and not far from Denver. Highly recommend!
The view of lookout mountain and the valley was great. Great from the deck, hot tub, kitchen, living room during the day and Denver lights at night. Cows were mooing, deer ate dinner and nestled into a nap. Pretty cool.
Amazing views, lots of wildlife and a great host.
Spent 3 nights with only one small issue that was handled very well. Host stayed in touch. Saw animals everywhere. Hot tub under the stars. Couldnt ask for much more and will be back next years. Thanks !!!
Great house located in a beautiful setting! Views are unbelievable!! Very comfortable place with amazing amenities!! Will definitely stay here again when in the Denver area!!
Wonderful property on Lookout Mtn. If going to RedRicks or exporting the area this is a great choice to stay.
The owners were very nice and helpful. Their home is absolutely beautiful. It provides a warm and fun home with a breath taking view you will never get used too!
