Fantastic Mountain Home

Beautiful comfortable house, great for those who want to be secluded. Everything was as described, and the host always responded.

Everything about this home was wonderful.

Clean and well stocked house. One mile gravel road to reach the house.

Nice property. Beautiful views. Clean and comfortable. Could use a working TV in the bedroom.

Nice little cabin, in a pretty little area, close to St Mary’s Glacier. Well maintained and easy to access in warmer months. I can see how in colder snowier months it would be more difficult to access without proper transportation so be prepared. Great host/owner that communicates well and responds promptly to questions. Would definitely stay here again. Pros: remote, high on the mountain, spectacular views of snow top mountains, big deck with access from front room and primary bedroom, great WiFi reception, smart tv in livingroom. Cons: kitchen pots/pans/bakeware could be updated a bit, primary bedroom tv could be updated to a smart tv or a Roku added for streaming (just because we fall asleep to tv at night).

We stayed here 6/13 to 6/27. The owners were great at making local suggestions and responded quickly with any communications we had. The location was amazing, looking at the St Mary's Glacier right from the front of the property. We could see the glacier while laying in bed, in the living room and on the front porch while enjoying breakfast and other meals from the outdoor table and chairs. We were visited by hummingbirds within a few feet, several times a day while on the porch, especially while wearing bright colors. The property itself was nicely furnished for our needs as we cooked most of the meals there. The main bed was very comfortable which was nice. Some rentals have cheap uncomfortable mattresses, and we picked this property based on other reviews that the bed was comfortable for our extended stay. The location of the property was off a dirt road, so if you have nice vehicles that might be something to consider. The local grocery store and small downtown was about 20 minutes away and was a nice scenic drive. St Mary's glacier was literally a 5-minute drive and definitely worth checking out.The only downside for us was the altitude. The property is located over 10,000 feet which was amazing. Since we are from Florida and used to very little changes in altitude, I really struggled with the higher altitude and felt like I could not ever catch my breath. This in no way reflects on the cabin itself. We highly recommend this property. Thank you!!

We booked this property knowing it was high in the mountains and we would need a vehicle with 4 wheel or all wheel drive. Which we had. Upon arrival there was no way to pull into the drive because there was 2 foot of snow and no where on the narrow mountain road to park which was not maintained by the owner or a management company. We called the owner and she told us we would have to shovel the drive. We were lucky a neighbor was stuck behind us in the road. I offered him 20 and he came and plowed the drive for us. When we finally were able to enter the property it was covered in dust and cob webs. Every utensil was dirty which we cleaned. Over the next several days the property owners neighbors would be our only option for getting in and getting out. This was a scary and dangerous experience for a family of 4. There was very little extra fire wood which we saved incase the power went out. The owner needs to manage the property and the drive better.

Everything was neat, comf and worked as it should have Would stay here again. M

Location was amazing .. 10,000 feet. Extremely relaxing in this beautiful home. Could use a more detailed cleaning but my house could use that too!!

We had a wonderful stay! The house and kitchen are fully stocked like someone actually lives there. And unlike other VRBOs, the instructions and rules were very minimal. It felt very welcoming. The views of the mountains are not included in the listing pictures but they are vast and beautiful. Can be seen from the couch and kitchen. Even in August we could still see snow. There’s a swingset and two fire pits, and even raspberry bushes to snack on. The TV has been upsized from the listing pictures as well. You cannot see any neighbors from the house and we only saw one car go by the house the whole stay. The only noise is an occasional chipmunk. We had the best time and are so glad we chose this house for our stay. Thank you to our hosts!

The Property was exactly as listed. This was exacrly what we were looking for in a mountain stay. We have been through Idaho Springs many times, but first time staying. We took in some White water rafting and loved coming back home to the mountain. Highly recommend this home. Host were very responsive! Great home and GREAT location. FYI. Glacier lake hike was incredible.

The cabin was really perfect. Views and location were incredible. An extremely relaxing environment and well-appointed property. Looking forward to returning!

The cabin had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We saw some wildlife sitting on the deck. The view is wonderful!
