beautiful place!! And the host is very kind, and accommodating I’d highly recommend this place if you are ok with the host living in the same space - aside from the bedroom/ bathroom that is upstairs. The host was very helpful and his dog is very sweet.

Quick get-away

Stayed just one night in the upstairs suite. Very much enjoyed our stay. No complaints at all with the accommodations. Richard and Maggie were pleasant and helpful hosts. We're planning to stay again and rent entire property later this year.

Amazing Mountain Ambiance

What a superb place to stay if you are in the Rockies to hike, bike, ski or just enjoy the mountain air and scenery. Our host, Richard was more than accommodating and thoughtful. We so enjoyed cooking on the outdoor kitchen patio on the grill. We only regret we could not stay another night to enjoy the hot tub and more patio star gazing.

Simply Lovely

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this VRBO. The host was both friendly & welcoming. Possible guests do need to be aware that when the owner is on site, you will be entering through the main part of the house to get to the room for rent. If you’re an introvert or very private person, this may not be the best fit. That being said, we will be back!! It is perfectly located between the high country & Denver with amazing views for 360°!!

Above all expectations!

Richard was a great host. Every detail was first class, from the comfortable bed to the claw foot tub and rain shower with multiple spray heads. Richard’s kind demeanor and helpful knowledge regarding local events was an added touch. Maggie, Richard’s black lab is a fine door greater. Thank you Richard for all of your hospitality.

Beautiful but not private

This is a beautiful property. I probably didn't read well enough. It was a shared property. He was incredibly nice. I just thought I was getting a private place.

Highlights

We will never forget - The mountains. The lakes. The bighorn sheep. The fire pit and the stars. The warm welcome with snow on the ground. The fresh air. The comfortable room and claw foot tub. Maggie the Lab. Richard the host and his storytelling. Inaugurating the pergola over the hot tub. Tommyknockers Brewery and Queens Thrift in nearby Idaho Springs. A little bit of Colorado heaven.

We’ll Be Back!

Georgetown was the perfect place for a quiet mountain experience. The accommodations were outstanding, and host and hostess were so friendly and fun. We may not be allowed back, but we’ll try anyway. We unknowingly fed a bear on the patio (leftovers), but the only damage was the scattered tomatoes and jalapeños off the pizza slices- evidently that bear wasn’t a fan. Host Richard has a great sense of humor and was also extremely kind as well as accommodating.

The Georgetown house was the perfect place for our stay. Going to the Red Rocks concerts was an easy drive. The quiet atmosphere of Georgetown over the hustle bustle of the Denver was just what we were looking for.

This location was amazing. I was looking for a little writing retreat, and this was perfect. Beautiful views, absolutely charming and adorable town, super friendly people, and extremely comfortable facility. The property owner was delightful, friendly, and very helpful. The bathroom nook is very well done, very clean and new. All the linens were of superb quality, and the mattresses and pillowsWe’re luxurious.

About the host

Hosted by Richard Dodwell

Host profile image
We're a father and son team who have loved skiing and hiking together. We bought this home to enjoy the splendor of the Rockies and to allow others to enjoy it as much as we have!

Why they chose this property

Ideally located, minutes from great skiing at Loveland and hiking/fishing/climbing in the surrounding mountains. Having a vacation home in the mountains was always one of our goals, we set up the house so our guests can enjoy it as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

The fantastic views and the abundance of wildlife are an added attraction, as is the quality of the environment, allowing us to escape the city and enjoy the peaceful benefits in a rustic setting.
