This cabin was the perfect getaway for a friend and I. Much more space than we needed but super clean and relaxing in a nice quiet area. Bedding was amazing! It had all the amenities you would ever need. Owners responded within minutes from the first communication to the last. Very kind and easy to deal with. Spent lots of time on the comfy deck sofa listening to the running stream and watching for wildlife with coffee/wine. Day excursions were easy with Idaho Springs 20 min away and Denver less than an hour. I will definitely choose this cabin again. It felt like home right away.
Lovely cabin among the pines. Checkout instructions need some clarification, but the contact person was very helpful on any questions. Be careful to lightly load the washer or it walks. We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again.
I needed a solid day to write a review because I was still reveling in the absolute beauty of this place. Not only was Austin accommodating, he went out of his way to purchase boating passes so my husband and I could get out on the local lake. From check-in to location, everything was absolutely beautiful!! When you book this place, be prepared to cancel every plan you have on your itinerary to sit on the porch and listen to the nearby brook.The kitchen is stocked with every condiment, pot, plate and utensil you could ever want or need. If you plan to cook, keep in mind the altitude and account for cook time/temperatures or you'll be eating raw burgers Also, this guy thought of everything!Not only is there a hot tub and pool table, there are 2 refrigerators, yoga mats, board games for days and a plethora of towels and toiletries throughout the house. You should not run out of anything during your stay.And did I mention the view? Y'all this place is HEAVEN!! We watched the lunar eclipse in its entirety over the summit, and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever witnessed. With that being said, you are MOST DEFINITELY on a mountain, and they are not playing when they say you'd need a 4 wheel drive vehicle between October to May. Please be mindful when booking this property. We definitely used all wheel drive in the summer. I am so thrilled we found this place and definitely plan on making this our new yearly staycation when we go to Colorado.

About the host
Hosted by Austin Plott
We’re Austin & Danie from Austin, TX! We love hiking the mountains, traveling around the world, and spending all the time with our two Australian shepherds.
Why they chose this property
We love this quiet, mountain retreat with incredible surrounding nature. Plenty hikes to walk, animals to watch, and views to gaze out into. It’s the first mountain town outside of Denver and super close to skiing, Red Rocks, and so many areas off the I-70
What makes this property unique
Overlook Lodge feels like home! We have it fully stocked with every little thing you can think of. Our newly-built hot tub room is enclosed, so you can easily use it all year round. The sound of the water from our private creek can be heard in the house when the windows are open, and can be enjoyed by the overhanging, lookout deck. It’s big enough (3000 sq/ft) to host a nice size group and has all the helpful touches for families with small children (baby gates, pack n go). Starlink Internet is the fastest in the mountain with speeds faster than most homes in the US. Our local management team is the best, and is always on stand-by to make guests trips a 10/10 experience.
