The Space:
When you think of a vacation getaway in the mountains, this log cabin is exactly what you envisioned. This charming log cabin is the perfect escape for a family or friends looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The interior wood walls draw the cabin together from room to room for a cozy and true rustic feeling. The cabin is in a great location for those looking to get outside or those who love the serenity of nature. The living room has vaulted ceilings, skylights so you can soak in that Colorado Vitamin D while cozying up indoors. Kick up your feet, grab the popcorn and watch your favorite movie or tv show, in the cinema room or have some fun with our many board games provided in this cabin. Working away from the office A bonus cell phone booster (see house rules) is provided to make sure you don’t miss those important calls! After a day of hiking Mt. Evans, rafting, biking, or fly fishing at Clear Creek, there’s nothing better than a wood-burning fireplace in the living room with a cup of cocoa or cocktail for you and your special someone as you celebrate an unforgettable Mountain Getaway.
Cook up a delicious meal in the updated and large kitchen complete with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a butler's pantry, or enjoy some hors d'oeuvres while you entertain your group at the open kitchen bar seating.
You’ll have 4 bedrooms to stretch out in including a large primary suite with a walk-in closet and a 5 piece bath along with another one and a half bathrooms.
The icing on the cake is the hot tub on the deck where you can relax, unwind and take in the surroundings after a long day of shredding fresh powder at nearby Echo Mountain or Loveland or just to finish off a relaxing evening. A 2 car heated garage is a great bonus for those chilly or winter evenings!

The neighborhood:
This Log Cabin is located in a historic area where the Colorado Gold Rush began over 150 years ago! Enjoy skiing in the winter and water rafting during the summer months. Try a hot mineral springs pool and a lap pool in a rec center a couple of miles away, visit Red Rock Amphitheater for yoga classes, rock climbing, or summer concerts under the stars.
You’ll experience Idaho Springs' historic charm with the many historic buildings in downtown Idaho Springs. There are plenty of quality restaurants in Idaho Springs, including the popular Tommyknocker Brewery and Beau Jo's Colorado Style Pizza. All are affordable, as are area lodging and unique shopping. MTN Prime is another great eatery and is located next to The Guilded Fox. In this treasured store on Miner Street, you can find a variety of mountain goods and decor, as well as 3D layered mandalas handmade by the owner to ensure a unique fit for anyone. In town is the Argo Gold Mine and Mill, where you can see what a working mill looked like and try your hand at gold panning. And not far from town is the Phoenix Gold Mine, a working mine, where you can learn about modern and historical mining techniques and do a little gold panning yourself.
After a long day of playing tourist, enjoy the hot mineral waters of the springs for which the town is named. You can stay at the Indian Springs Resort lodge or just visit the geothermal springs and caves for a fitting end to your day. Mount Evans Adjacent to Idaho Springs, due west of Denver, is Mount Evans. The road to the peak is a 14-mile ascent on the highest paved road in North America, rising to 14,200 feet above sea level. Keep on the lookout, as mountain goats often graze alongside the highway. The summit sits atop the Mount Evans Scenic and Historic Byway. The cabin is close to local attractions and activities, including skiing, snowboarding near Loveland Ski Resort.
There are plenty of exciting Summertime activities around, but a fan favorite for things to do in Idaho Springs in the summer has to be rafting. Clear Creek has some of the best rafting in the state, and Idaho Springs is home to it all. There are several great options for rafting companies to go with, and this is an activity that can be family-friendly or extreme!
Wintertime in Colorado brings many opportunities for play and adventure, as well as seasonal hazards that require consideration. AWD or 4WD capable vehicles are required from November - April for all guests. Please plan your travel accordingly.
**Wood-burning fireplace - we do not provide firewood; please plan to purchase and bring with you if you intend to use the fireplace.
Clean, comfortable and a perfect weekend getaway.
Fantastic project. Kitchen had everything we needed. Movie room was great. Would stay again.
Very nice and clean and extremely close to Blackstone river’s ranch which was great. I wish they offered an earlier check in. 4:00 is late and they weren’t flexible like I’ve experienced with other properties. The deck and hot tub are nice except for the road noise.
Absolutely loved it. All of it. I can't say enough wonderful things. It's so close to everything yet far enough and tucked away to feel like like a true retreat from it all. The rushing creek just steps from the porch was so tranquil and beautiful. The quaint town just down the road provided so much in such a short distance. The home itself is perfectly appointed and stocked for guests' needs. We could not have been more pleased!
We rented the property to house our extended family who had come in to town for my daughter’s wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. It was the perfect spot for us. The layout gave everyone privacy. The public gathering spaces are large and comfortable and the hot tub was wonderful. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook meals. The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of sheets and towels. I highly recommend this rental.
This lodge like home was outstanding for our family stay. The creek running through the property was an added bonus. All the rooms were spacious. Each family member had their own private space. You can enjoy sitting on the deck with the views of the mountains and trees! The hot tub was great to use on the deck while listening to the creek. We had great communication with our host the entire time with any questions we had. Plenty of parking! The kitchen and family room very open for spending time together. Only minutes from restaurants, shops, hiking, rafting, and much more! We would definitely stay here again!
This is an absolutely beautiful home! Highly recommend!
Property was an perfect family rental for a wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch. The venue is literally down the street. Highly recommend and the place was spotless.
Beautiful home close to Idaho Springs with lots of fun places nearby. We had a great time and found the host extremely responsive and helpful. Loved this place and would certainly stay there again!
This property was great for our family! It had a cabin in the woods feel, but was located just down the road from town. The cabin was decorated beautifully and was fully stocked as if someone lives there (e.g toiletries, kitchen utensils, full set of pots and pans, and even some basic kitchen staples). There was decent privacy as well from the neighboring cabin- you could not see them from the house, but could if you walked down the driveway. A beautiful creek ran right in front of the house, and there was a private fire pit area to the side. We had 4 kids with us, ages 5-12, and the cabin was their favorite thing from the trip!
The layout of the home was nice, with the lower level cinema room with projector being a big hit! We loved the real fireplace, and Safeway grocery in town sells wood. Communication with property management was good with a fast response time. Note: The master bedroom bathroom does not have a door so you see right into the bathroom and shower from the bed, and the toilet is around the corner with no privacy door. This should be noted in the listing description as this was very inconvenient for us! Also note the bunkbed room door is sliding barn doors that do not close tightly, are loud, and there is no wall to the ceiling above the door which renders that room not private at all. The door next to the fireplace that should walk out onto the balcony was permanently locked and we wanted to keep that door open to enjoy the front porch. There's only four chairs at the kitchen table, we would suggest some folding chairs so that a family can sit together. Good location close to town, but note there is no yard for kids to run around and it's right off of the road. We were in town for our daughters wedding putting the house just 30 minutes from the Northstar gathering venue it was held at. House was well stocked with dishware and glassware, plenty of paper products and garbage bags and cleaners, local coffee in the fridge was a fun plus as well as the spices and each shower had shampoo and conditioner! Suggestions: A coffee maker that has auto shut off, an electric tea kettle, plastic cutting boards, more kitchen towels, and more bathroom washcloths. Replace the hot tub cover! The cover is saturated and heavy so a cover that is on a lift would be appropriate to make it easy for people to open and close the top. All the hot tub chemicals and tester strips were inside the closet in the house which was nice. Overall a convenient location close to town, a nicely decorated and updated interior. Thank you!
