Idaho Springs is considered part of the Denver metro, but you would never know it once you leave I-70. This miner's cabin is perfect and cozy. If you like authentic more than glitzy, rent this place. Julia is a great hostess. Thanks for a great fall rental.

Thank you, Terry, for staying with us in Idaho Springs. You are the most wonderful guest.
We just finished a wonderful month at this property. Idaho Springs was the perfect location to split time between Denver and the ski areas along I70. Great little town with good restaurants and shops.
Julia is a great host, and responded right away when we had a couple questions, and a small problem. (The problem was my fault)
The house itself is comfy and cozy. While not luxurious, it is a great value for the money. The kitchen, laundry, and bedrooms are all very functional and nice. The gas stove/heater in the living room is nice after a cold day of skiing.
If you want luxury there are plenty of $500+ a night places along the I70 corridor. However if you want a nice, functional place in a cool old mining town with room to sleep 5 for a reasonable price-This is the place.
