We booked 3 properties in the Saint Mary's glacier area for our son's wedding at Blackstone Rivers Ranch in Idaho Springs. Our family from out of state stayed at this mountain cabin and loved it! The game room was awesome, and spent lots of time playing pool and poker. Hot tub was great! Plenty of comfy beds for everyone. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at this cozy home! The fenced in yard was very secure for our pups, there was plenty of parking for our vehicles and motor coach, and we had a blast playing pool and relaxing in the hot tub! The hosts were amazing and quick to respond as well!
My family and I spent a long weekend here in this cabin! It was beautiful and met fit our needs! I would recommend this to anyone!

Fun Girls trip for 2025
The location was gorgeous! We had plenty of space and lots of fun games inside and lots of sleeping options. The communication with the hosts was outstanding. Close enough to several activities in Idaho Springs and Evergreen which we enjoyed. This was mid-April and I think the house needs some good Spring deep cleaning. Also perhaps a bit of maintenance but again, snow is melting so we may have arrived before the deep clean was done. Overall nice and comfortable.

Great location
You can beat this location! It’s so close to St Mary’s glacier you could conceivably walk there.
The amenities are fabulous & kept our kids (6,13, 15,&16) very entertained.
The owners were very responsive & left us some sweet treats to enjoy.
The property itself looks like it may have been a DIY remodel but that was not an issue for us.
We had a little trouble getting the home to cool down which was likely due to the awesome sunlight coming in the siding doors. There were fans available that helped.
Overall-we would definitely visit again

Marvelous Getaway!
The property is gorgeous! You are secluded yet close enough to get to town if need be. The property has everything needed for a night in! The property manager made us feel very safe & they were super quick to respond to anything we needed. I can’t recommend this place enough!

Wyoming Girl's Weekend
Property was very nice. Limited items in kitchen like mixer or blender. Advertised with a hot tub, which was dirty and no chemicals to use so we didn't get to use that. Also advertised with a BBQ and gas fireplace. Very hard to use these immunities with no propane. The house had some spots that missed getting cleaned and we found cleaning supplies left in one of the rooms. There were cameras everywhere which wasn't disclosed. Feels like youre being watched which is very uncomfortable. We had a great time still, loved the quiet location.

Amazing Mountain Getaway
A lovely mountain house and great for a group! All the beds (including the bunk room) were SUPER comfortable. There was plenty of space for our group to enjoy the house and common rooms without feeling cramped. The hosts were very responsive before and during the trip. They even accommodated a very last minute late checkout request. Would definitely stay here again!

Dog friendly
We had the best time at the house. It was a great space for the dogs and they loved the fenced backyard and front deck. We were close to lots of fun activities for day trips and we had pool tournaments in the game room every night plus enjoyed the fireplace on the deck. Fast responses from Tyler and Emily were appreciated. Great house!

Mountain Escape fun!
We’re a party of 4 adults and 7 kids ages 6-11. We loved staying at this house! Note: it’s quite a switchback road to get up there and it’s rural. It’s a solid 15 min drive into down, but we enjoy that kind of thing. We saw lots of deer! The game room basement was a total score for the kids when it was rainy. They were so courteous to have food items, laundry detergent, and streaming subscriptions supplied. Tyler is extremely responsive to any and all questions. Check in and out was very easy. Thanks for a great stay!
