Everything was perfect for our group of 9. The location was stunning and the property owners were extremely friendly and easy to work with. Would highly recommend.

Time flew by-the house was wonderful. The wildlife was our favorite having a Moose and calf outside the window was amazing!

Owner's response: "We’re so jealous! We haven’t even seen that momma moose and her calf this season."
Amazing views! Easy access to hiking and fishing. Gorgeous home, nicely decorated. The BEST communication ever with the host. Quick to answer and full of information about the area. We brought our kids and grands out for 5 nights and had a wonderful time making more memories. We walked to the trailhead to hike Saint Marys. My older grandsons jumped in that freezing cold lake up there while we could see snowboarders!! . Lots of exploring around the area. Fished at the private lake and did family photos. Drove to nearby Georgetown to ride the Georgetown Loop train and did the mining tour. Went to Red Rock. Explored Idaho Springs a neat little town. Loved trying the casinos at Black Hawk. So much to do and all very near. It snowed two times while there and it’s June! The snow on the mountains, the scenery and the Hummingbirds were nice. Highly recommend and hope to go back in warmer climate to do some rafting! Thank you Stacia and Pete for the hospitality!!!!

Beautiful cabin in the mountains. Views were amazing! If you are looking more of a log cabin feel than a house, then this is the perfect property for you. If I could give the owners more than 5 stars for communication, I would. They were super helpful and shared a lot of great information. They even provided suggestions on the best place hold our vow renewal ceremony which worked out perfectly! The location is away from the tourist areas which was great. Thank you so much Pete & Stacia for making our ceremony special!

This was the perfect house for our ski week! We rented Stacia and Pete’s house for our annual ski trip. The house itself was great - a few little quirks (steam shower doesn’t work, fridge was a little temperamental and the wifi was spotty) other than that it was the perfect spot! I didn’t realize when I booked this but it is a HIKE to get anywhere so plan accordingly if you’re using this house on a ski trip it’s about an hour + to all the resports (it looks a little closer on the map)! We had a great stay- thanks again!

Response from the owner: "Thanks for being gracious about the Wi-Fi Samantha! We found out the snow plow guy split the cable! It's fixed now, but we definitely don't get high speed internet on the mountain! The fridge is working now too!"
