This was our second time staying at this property and it’s great! The home is clean and well furnished. There are plenty of things to do nearby and easy to get up the mountain to ski. Both times we’ve stayed here it was winter but this would be a great property in the summer as well. We will definitely be back!

Hot Springs, White Water, and Downtown! You’ve got it all!

My friends and I spent a day in Golden tubing and enjoying the Coors brewery! We walked to downtown Idaho Springs and enjoyed the restaurants, bars, and great people! We spent a morning at the hot springs and an evening in black hawk losing all our money, but making unforgettable memories! Couldn’t recommend this place more highly as a central hub for all things fun!

Great home and fantastic backyard

Very spacious, all the amenities and walkable

This house was very large and spacious. The primary bedroom was extremely large and the others were very comfortable. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked with everything you could need and more. We loved being able to walk to the cute downtown with many shops and restaurants. Our sons also enjoyed walking to Clear Creek to fish. The walkway along Clear Creek is lovely and another way to get into town.

Great house in historic mountain town

The house was very unique and stocked with everything we might possibly need and then some. The house, and the town of Idaho Springs, are very conveniently located, so it’s a breeze to get in and out whether headed to Denver or the Ski slopes to the west. The house had plenty of space for our group of six and we enjoyed the private backyard area each evening.

Great property, great location

This property is great! My group of 5 adults spends a few days skiing at Loveland every year. We enjoy staying in Idaho Springs for the convenience to the ski area and the amenities in town. Jonathan’s property has all the comforts of home. Plenty of room for several people to sleep, eat and just sit around and relax. Easy access to town and getting on I-70 to hit the mountains. Jonathan is quick to respond to any questions or concerns you may have. We will definitely come back!

Cozy, very welcoming mountain home

We enjoyed the convenient location, size, amenities, warmth, comfort, welcoming feeling of the home. The host was thoughtful, compassionate, well-spoken, generous and kind. It snowed quite a bit and he went out of his way to shovel sidewalks and parking spots for three cars. He created a warm, memorable experience for everyone once we walked through the door. He had great games and movies. FUN, FUN, FUN!
