About this property

The Alice Cabin in Winterland!

So...you're after an adventure. Or maybe it's a cozy escape into the mountains...a getaway from the stresses and routine of daily life. Come escape from it all when you visit the Alice in Winterland Cabin! This mountain community feels magical, and what better way to reconnect, enjoy family time, and simply 'just get away.'

My husband and I love the community of St. Mary's - the history, the land, the neighbors, the views...it's breath-takingly beautiful! This is our vacation home with our 4 children, and we want to share it with you when we can't be there.

A little more about the cabin - it's a one bedroom (cozy and comfortable), one full-bath, a cool 'ladder-loft' that comfortably sleeps two (twin mattresses), a sleeper sofa in the living area, a fully equipped kitchen, a TON of extras including a Pack-N-Play for your littlest one, a fold-out toddler cot, an umbrella stroller to use when strolling through town, various size snow boots during the winter season , snow jackets in size small in women's and medium in men's, snow pants (if they fit, you're welcome to use them), super soft blankets for star viewing, and so many extras.

Step through the 'Looking Glass' and experience snow-topped trees and mountains in the winter and crisp, cool terrain and hummingbirds that whir by during the spring and summer. Spectacular views are what sets our cabin apart. We are 10,000 feet up, and our deck offers an unobstructed view of the mountains. We face the absolutely spectacular sunrises, and go to bed with cozy fires. Please be advised that you will need a 4WD vehicle during snow months (typically late October through April usually) to make it up and down the mountain.

If you'd like a little adventure while you're here, there is plenty to do right up on the mountain, down in Idaho Springs and within a short drive! For the outdoorsy, hiking is very popular (a hike to St. Mary's Glacier is a MUST), ATV tours are a five minute drive away, fishing (we provide 2 passes, poles, and a stocked tackle-box!) to fish in 2 private stocked lakes (catch and release only); horseback riding within 30 minutes, ziplining, white-water rafting, SHOPPING and DINING in quaint Idaho Springs...), but honestly, just buying groceries in town for dinners, watching some movies or your favorite show on satellite with a glass of wine or a local beer on the deck or by the fire may be just what you are seeking. We cherish memories and want this getaway to be 'that memory' for you!

About the host

Hosted by Charlotte Cantu

Host profile image
Hi, my name is Charlotte. I have the pleasure of raising my three children - two boys and a girl, ranging in age from 7 to 14. We are native Texans but call Colorado our second home. We are a close family, involved with our church and community, and our favorite thing to do is to take family vacations together! I took this picture over Spring Break in 2016, and they couldn't get enough of making snowballs, sledding around the trees, and hiking up behind the cabin.

Why they chose this property

My husband and I visited St. Mary's in August of 2015 on a getaway for just the two of us, and we fell in love with the community, the lovely winding way up the mountain, and we knew we would come back! We were so lucky to happen upon this well-loved gem and we have already been up several times with our family of 6! The St. Mary's community is such a wonderful community with friendly people, absolutely gorgeous mountain views, fresh air and wildlife. We hope you enjoy our 'home away from home' as much as we do!

What makes this property unique

Our cabin is special. We bought it from the original owners, who put a lot of love and care into it over the years. We've added more love to it since we bought it and always listen to our guests' suggestions. The views from the deck are amazing - since the cabin is built into the side of the mountain slope, the views are unobstructed and watching the sunrise from the deck is breathtaking. Perhaps we'll have a budding artist stay at some point and capture a sunrise!
