10/10, this cabin is actually better than advertised. There are other cabins in the area but you didn't see or hear them. The view is amazing and the cabin is cozy and clean. The hosts were easy to communicate with and welcoming. Would recommend for someone wanting to stay off the beaten path.

Mountain Getaway

This is the perfect mountain cabin! Clean, cozy and modern and very quiet on a private road. The views are very nice and we saw beautiful sunrises. Lots of things to do in the area from mining towns to 14ners. Our host, Colleen, was quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had. We would love to stay again in the future.

Fantastic and Remote

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.

Mountain View Paradise

Very clean, well maintained, home away from home. Enjoyed our private and quiet location. The Mountain views are incredible. St Mary’s Glacier hike is only minutes away and well worth the time. Activities only a short drive, downtown Idaho springs is quaint and a very friendly atmosphere. Rocky Mountains National Park is within a 2 hour drive and the views are remarkable entering into the west entrance. If you’re looking for that nice, quiet getaway, you’ve found it.

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).

Clean, beautiful, secluded mountain cabin

Such a wonderful visit to Bryan and Colleen's Idaho Springs cabin! Clean, well-appointed and so cozy/comfortable, this cabin is the perfect fit for couples and small families who're looking for a quiet, mountain escape with an amazing view from the full length deck! On warmer mornings, we sat outside and had coffee while watching hummingbirds buzzing about. It's just down the road from the St. Mary's Glacier trailhead - a somewhat rocky, moderate-level trail with a beautiful lake view near the top. The drive up to the cabin from downtown Idaho Springs is about 30 min and a bit curvy, but well worth it. Looking forward to visiting again!

Good stay

The home itself was good & in a beautiful location. The only issue is that the mattress was kind of hard. To reiterate, the HOME was great; there was one other issue that needs to be stated (even though it doesn’t pertain to the home itself) but as a warning to others: the drivers on the front range are very aggressive & dangerous. Just keep that in mind when booking.Overall the home was great, I just wouldn’t stay in this area again because of how dangerous & aggressive people drive on I-70.

Home away from home!

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!

Great, comfortable house

We stayed for almost 3 weeks in February. The house was very warm, even on coldest winter nights. Beds were comfortable. Wifi was strong and my husband was able to work remotely with lots of video calls. Kitchen was very well stocked and we cooked all our meals. We also got Insta cart deliveries to the house. Owner was very accomodating and helped us to get driveway plowed after large snowfall. We only had minor problems on checkin day. The email with checkin info went into spam folder, so it took us time to figure it out. And the second problem was that house thermostat was set on 55F and water heater turned off between renters. So the house was really cold when we arrived and it took 4-5 hours for house to warm up.

Difficult and Dangerous.

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.

As with all of our winter bookings, this guest was made aware of the conditions prior to our confirmation of said booking. We are very upfront about the winter mountain driving conditions.

Fantastic Mountain Home by St Mary's Glacier

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!!
