The place was great! We all agreed that we would stay again if the occasion arises. I had messaged the property about rafting and fishing, but never heard back from them. They did have recommendations in the book. I donât know how far in advanced you need to book. The only other thing that was a little weird was that there were linens left in the dryer, and they werenât dry.
The place was like something out of a Thomas Kinkade picture, surrounded by trees with a gorgeous creek in the back soothing any worries with its sound (picture provided). Inside was nicely decorated with plenty of entertainment for the stormy times. Kitchen has ample cooking utensils and plateware for a family of 6. The beds were comfy and warm offering very restful sleep. The suprises inside were the cooking ingredients already stocked in the pantry, bathroom/laundry room necessities, and the 3 fishing poles (with licenses) for some fun times out on the lakes. I only had to purchase the lures, weights, and connections from the local shops which I have left for the next visitor adhering to the place's motto of "Take what you need, leave what you don't". We even had several humming bird visits you could see right outside the dinning room. Great stay, would visit again!
This was a beautiful cozy home; perfect for our getaway. Nestled up in the mountains surrounded by all of Mother Natures beautiful wonders. The house was spectacular and fully stocked as described. This was so helpful so that we didnât have to purchase all the things and could actually enjoy the home without having to worry about forgetting things. The owners were very pleasant and super responsive and helpful in providing recommendations upon my request. I hope we get the opportunity to go back as we will definitely stay here again.
The grandkids could slide down the driveway without fear of being hurt. They had a ball! They loved having their own room and a big play area. The house was very clean.
We spent two weeks of sabbatical here and it was perfectly peaceful and serene. We felt at home immediately. We went sledding in the backyard and walked through the neighborhood. It was easy to get to town because the streets were well plowed. Tom had taken care all sorts of hospitality details anything we needed we had and more. By far one of our best rentals ever.
Perfect for a weekend getaway or a week of exploring. Enjoyed every minute. Exactly as described. Would recommend to get away from the busy city or life.
This lovely house was a great choice for our stay. Comfortable living and bedroom furniture and a well stocked kitchen made us feel at home. The house is an easy walk to St. Maryâs Glacier trailhead, so need to worry about paying for parking at the trailhead. We saw mule deer in the yard and a moose family on the St. Mary's Glacier trail.
When we weren't hiking with our dog (lots of trails within an easy drive), we really enjoyed sitting on the deck in the warm afternoon sun, listening to the rushing water of the creek.
Idaho Springs, with a grocery store and several shops and restaurants is a 15 minute drive away.
We truly enjoyed our fall getaway.
I have stayed at many rental properties in my time. I am a bit of a snob when it comes to accommodations, I like nice things. This place was amazing!!!! The home had everything you would need, it was tasteful decorated with a very comfortable sofa and amazing kitchen. We had a blast making a campfire and listening to the roaring creek! So peaceful and relaxing. We had fun going into Georgetown and Idaho Springs to shop and dine. You will not go wrong picking this place! Beds were comfortable and we didnât want to leave! Thanks for hosting us at your amazing property, we will be back!! Last tip, get all of your groceries before heading in!
We had a great weekend at the property with easy access to Idaho Springs and Loveland Ski Area. The house was beautiful and cozy and we really enjoyed our time there.
