Idaho Springs, Colorado
So...you're after an adventure. Or maybe it's a cozy escape into the mountains...a getaway from the stresses and routine of daily life. Come escape from it all when you visit the Alice in Winterland Cabin! This mountain community feels magical, and what better way to reconnect, enjoy family time, and simply 'just get away.'
My husband and I love the community of St. Mary's - the history, the land, the neighbors, the views...it's breath-takingly beautiful! This is our vacation home with our 4 children, and we want to share it with you when we can't be there.
A little more about the cabin - it's a one bedroom (cozy and comfortable), one full-bath, a cool 'ladder-loft' that comfortably sleeps two (twin mattresses), a sleeper sofa in the living area, a fully equipped kitchen, a TON of extras including a Pack-N-Play for your littlest one, a fold-out toddler cot, an umbrella stroller to use when strolling through town, various size snow boots during the winter season , snow jackets in size small in women's and medium in men's, snow pants (if they fit, you're welcome to use them), super soft blankets for star viewing, and so many extras.
Step through the 'Looking Glass' and experience snow-topped trees and mountains in the winter and crisp, cool terrain and hummingbirds that whir by during the spring and summer. Spectacular views are what sets our cabin apart. We are 10,000 feet up, and our deck offers an unobstructed view of the mountains. We face the absolutely spectacular sunrises, and go to bed with cozy fires. Please be advised that you will need a 4WD vehicle during snow months (typically late October through April usually) to make it up and down the mountain.
If you'd like a little adventure while you're here, there is plenty to do right up on the mountain, down in Idaho Springs and within a short drive! For the outdoorsy, hiking is very popular (a hike to St. Mary's Glacier is a MUST), ATV tours are a five minute drive away, fishing (we provide 2 passes, poles, and a stocked tackle-box!) to fish in 2 private stocked lakes (catch and release only); horseback riding within 30 minutes, ziplining, white-water rafting, SHOPPING and DINING in quaint Idaho Springs...), but honestly, just buying groceries in town for dinners, watching some movies or your favorite show on satellite with a glass of wine or a local beer on the deck or by the fire may be just what you are seeking. We cherish memories and want this getaway to be 'that memory' for you!
Beautiful location.
Loved the cabin! Beautiful views. The altitude really hit us!
Great time loved it
Whenever you rent a place to stay you worry if it will be everything it seems. Alice in Wonderland was everything we hoped for and more. A great place and host. I would highly recommend.
We had an absolutely relaxing and wonderful stay at this place. The view from the deck is beautiful! We hiked St Mary’s Glacier trail and walked to the trailhead from the house (it adds about a mile each way). Idaho Springs was about a 25 minute drive and was full of lots of great restaurants (Beaujos for pizza!) and breweries. Thanks for sharing your wonderful place with us!
The altitude took some getting used to but we loved the view and the drive up was worth it!
We stayed 4 nights and it snowed for 3. If you’re not from snow country and are a flatlander, be sure to take snow chains and or 4 wheel drive. Best money I have spent. It was a wonderful experience in every aspect.
Stayed two night at Charlotte's property in St. Mary's glacier and had a wonderful time. It was a great place to get away for a while with beautiful views.
Overall great experience! Beautiful scenery, exactly what to be expected with the cabin feel, wood fire place, up in the mountains with a view! Close to lots of attractions and amenities within reason! We loved it!
This is the perfect cabin to hideaway in to do some journaling, meditation and relaxation. The sunrises and sunsets are very beautiful and the surroundings very serene.
Cabin was very clean and location was ideal.
We loved staying here. Well stocked with anything we needed. Clean. Kiddo loved the loft area. The drive in was a little nerve wracking for a family from sea level but so beautiful and peaceful to enjoy the view from the porch. Spent a day just sledding down the driveway and making snowmen and had a blast. Thank you for having us!
Location was absolutely beautiful. Property was clean and accurately listed with great communication from the owner.
Beautiful cabin with amazing views, would recommend to anyone.
Great escape, your driveway is tough to trust after a snowfall, it would be great if it was marked better and the edges were marked. Passed the house 4x before I could positively identify it.
It was a beautiful cabin for our first Colorado mountain stay! Very clean. Wonderful views of the snow capped mountains. Follow the hosts directions and you find it with no problem.
Was just a great mountain stay experience. Fantastic views, and a quiet mountain retreat. The drive up was beautiful and was very nice being so close to hiking down the road. Would definitely recommend a 4WD or at the very least AWD vehicle. DONT follow Google maps 100%, will try to take you up a Closed Road and you are already on the right road. Would maybe recommend to owners to add a more prominent house number closer to the driveway entrance for a little less confusion depending on which way you are coming from.
Beautiful vistas at Alice in Winterland… the mountains and fall colors were breathtaking! All the comforts of home and a get-a-way rolled in one!
Great cabin with great views. Sitting out on the deck after a show at Red Rocks (only 40 minutes away depending on traffic) and taking in the mountain air was just what I needed for a relaxing vacation. I didn't want to leave! The cabin was clean, warm and inviting. Charlotte was a great host. I will definitely be returning next year!
Fairly secluded spot among the mountains. It was good to get away from everyday life.
We absolutely loved the view from the deck of this property. The neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic. There is so much to do within a twenty minute drive or less.
We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay. Property was as described with unforgettable views!
We loved our time in the mountains. Idaho Springs and the surrounding area has so much to see and do. Hiking St. Mary's Glacier is a must. We did not find the fishing passes the description spoke of (although that wasn't a deal breaker just a minor disappointment). We hope we followed all the proper check out procedures, we only saw it in the original email at the start of the trip. Overall we had a fantastic time and the views are breath taking.
