St. Mary's mountain retreat with hot tub - sleeps 10

The house was well stocked and had everything we needed for our stay.

We weren't able to make it into the house because of an icy pathway. The first section of rope used to help your way down the path was missing.

The home was cozy and our hosts were very responsive to some unexpected needs that came up. The only thing I would say is I wish there would have been more of a advisory or notice of the distance and climb it takes to get from the top of the road to the house.

Great communication and a great location with deck views in St. Mary’s glacier. Walking distance to hikes.

We had a good time

Nice house, not super clean, hot tub wasn’t hot and was dirty. Far from Idaho springs.

It was good.

Overall a great stay would recommend to others. We may come back in the future. Easily accommodated our group of 8!

Denise was an exceptional host! She consistently provided prompt communication from prior to the official booking through after the check out of our stay. The kitchen was well equipped. The house was clean. The check in/out process was super easy. My oldest son and his wife especially enjoyed the French press coffee maker. My teen daughter and her friend enjoyed the hot tub. My husband and I enjoyed sitting on the balcony overlooking the mountain side and enjoying the breeze. The property is breath taking in more ways than one! The steps up from the house returning to the vehicles are no joke. They look harmless in the property photos, but at 10,000 ft. elevation, it proved to be a challenging task for young and old alike. The walk down the stairs wasn’t quite as difficult. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful area. House was warm and inviting, had most everything we needed, including games. Nice location, close to St Mary's and Idaho Springs. Great lay out, 2 bedrooms on main floor, 2 upstairs. Host was quick to respond and helpful. Beware the stairs to the entrance are steep and long - not ideal for hauling things back and forth, could be tricky in winter months. Overall, nice home, but could use some attention: We were a bit disappointed the hot tub was not working, as that was one of the main reasons we decided on this place. Luke warm water, error message when trying to warm it. Appears there are some known water leaks and those are in the middle of being addressed (patches on ceiling). The shower head in the guest room upstairs bathroom needs to be replaced, it shoots water at an angle that goes outside the shower area and likely causing the leak on the floor below. The ceiling fan in that same room would not turn on. The thermostats were in need of upgrading, we didn't touch them during our trip. One is velcroed to the wall. Suggestion: House could use a can opener. The dartboard was fun, but only 2 darts are in decent condition, the other 2 were taped. The dartboard itself needs to be secured, it spins when a dart strikes it. Assuming these can be addressed, we hope to stay again down the road. Thanks!

Great location and great communication from owner. Just note the stairs, there are a lot of them and at 10,500 feet it could be rough for some.

The stairs and the thin air were challenging at first for a group from Florida :) but we knew what we were getting into. Once we got acclimated everything was fine and we had a great time.
