Great for the whole family
My family has stayed here twice now and it's great! The house is well stocked with anything you might need. There's plenty of room for the whole family. The play room and outside playground mean the kiddos are entertained. The adults love the wood-burning fireplace. Less than 5 minutes from downtown. The heat is a little finnicky but we brought layers to sleep in and were fine. Phyllis is a great host!

A home away from home
We were overcome with emotion as we entered this cozy, well lived in and loved cabin! It reminded us so much of our own home, and Phyllis made us feel so welcomed!Our six grandchildren stayed in the bunk room upstairs, while all of the adults spread out in the downstairs – plenty of room!We are family who loves to cook, so the well laid out kitchen with many staples was so appreciated! We ate all our dinners at the amazing dining room table, which we could all sit around! The quaint town of Idaho Springs was a hit with all of us, and when we weren’t skiing, we were exploring the shops and restaurants in this special place. This home was located about 30 minutes from Loveland ski resort in just a mile from downtown Idaho Springs. Great location! Phyllis was so quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had and really made us feel so comfortable in her family home. We would highly recommend this charming place for wonderful family togetherness!.

Great Long Weekend Getaway
Great spot for a long weekend in the mountains. Plenty of room for six adults. Awesome front patio with the babbling brook in the front yard. Very close to everything in the Idaho Springs downtown area. Not too long of drive from great hikes and other outdoor activities. We really enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful Home for Families
We were in Idaho Springs for a wedding. This home was convenient to the venue and town. It is a perfect home for extended family, especially if there are children! The toy room and TV/ game room were great for the kids. The kitchen was large and fully equipped. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. It is a great family house! Everyone enjoyed their time there. Phyllis was very responsive to inquiries before annd after the stay. Everything was so well communicated we never had to contact her during the stay! Beautiful home, great location!

Winter in gorgeous house!
We were skiing in Loveland Ski Area, location of this cabin was perfect. The cabin itself was impeccably designed, blending modern comforts with rustic aesthetics seamlessly. The amenities provided exceeded our expectations. The cabin was spacious, we felt like at home. The well-equipped kitchen allowed us to whip up delicious meals, which we enjoyed. In conclusion, our stay at this beautiful cabin was nothing short of magical.

Warm, welcoming place to come home to
This home could not have been more welcoming. Each bedroom, each room had it’s own personality. Lots of individual touches. It’s design and location made it a very interesting place to come back to at the end of a good day of skiing. Phyllis was great, super accommodating. We’ll be back!

Great location to Downtown & Wedding Venue
Has all you need for a getaway in the mountains, while being close to town and a wedding venue. Large dining room, ample kitchen, 2 car garage + outside parking, separate game/TV room, and large upstairs bunk room made it perfect for our stay. Did not use the rear patio & grill. A nice add would be an outdoor fire pit on front patio overlooking stream where a hose is available (just in case), but understand the hesitancy with fires in this region.
