Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a nice stay at this property. The Living Unit was spacious, well appointed and comfortable. There were minor maintenance issues that indicate a bit of inattentiveness on the part of staff, such as burnt out light bulbs, broken bedstand light, and non responsive ceiling fan fixture in the sitting space. Be advised that this property demands significant personal details prior to arrival. The most egregious of which is a demand for an electronic copy of ones drivers license sent via e-mail! This is simply over the top. I demanded that my personal information be safeguarded, or better yet completely deleted, and received no such assurance. This left a bitter taste that still lingers. We will not stay at this property again.

The cabin was the perfect size for 2 people. It had everything you'd need for a short stay. The bed was comfortable. Idaho Springs was about a 10 min drive away for a grocery store and more dining options. Would definitely stay again

So rented the one bedroom cabin for a ski trip. Convinced me that a tiny home may just be the ticket for second home near the slopes. Great accommodations! Staff was very responsive. Quiet place to relax after a long day on the slopes and centrally located to a ton of ski hills. Will be back!

Nice place and easy lauchpoint to get to mountains

Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Some practical things would be nice. No broom, no coffee or instructions on how to use the electric fireplace would have been nice, but NOT a deal breaker. We will stay there again.

Great place to wander around and hike

Great Place. We stayed in the Aspen Cabin. It was equipped with handicap accessible bathroom which was awesome being that I’m disabled. Parking was easy. The only negative was the bed was super hard and the pullout couch was pretty uncomfortable as well. Everything else was great. Food from the bar and food truck was pretty tasty.
