Host communicated promptly and easily. Instructions clear for special attention to front door and master shower. Food had been left in the fridge and while I can understand not wanting to waste food, I also do not want to eat someone else's opened peanut butter or jelly.

Great Cabin Near the Park

We were in town for the GTIS (Georgetown to Idaho Springs) half marathon, and the cabin was perfect for our family of 6 (grandparents, parents, 2 toddlers). The beds were comfy, there were a ton of pillows (always a plus!), and the bathrooms (three!) are all nicely updated. Everything we needed in the kitchen to toys and books for the kids. A great park for the littles ones was right around the corner. Georgetown has plenty of good places to eat, and an adorable downtown.

Property was in an awesome picturesque location. It was clean and quite functional for our needs (3 couples). We towed our cycles in and had 3 small trailers and vehicles. Parking was tight but we made it work with the help of one of the next door neighbors. Several cars would not be a problem. Pretty close to dining, shopping and local pubs. Georgetown is booming with new construction but yet has a very historical vibe. Train and mine tour was pretty cool. The mountain passes on motorcycles were breathtaking!

Cute Town and Home

This property looks small from the front but goes back quite far and has a large basement. My main complaint is that the bedrooms are quite small - typical of an old home. Great living spaces and kitchen!

Weekend with Family

We had a wonderful weekend at this property with our family. We flew in from North Carolina for our nieces graduation and Georgetown was the perfect place to stay. Great location not far from Denver but in the beautiful Rockies! The house was perfect for our family. Very clean, comfortable and stocked. We will definitely stay here again!

perfect mountain town stay

Gorgeous, cozy, and comfy (yet spacious!) stay for my family's holiday mini-vacation. The home is nestled back from the quaint town but within very easy walking distance to the main street with a lovely cafe and great brewpub type place (with Detroit style pizza!) and more. We loved the modern yet rustic feel of the home and how there's enough space to spread out but also gather together again for board games and family meals. Super close to skiing at Loveland Valley & Basin.
