We had an amazing time at Ken’s place. He had absolutely everything we needed and more. It felt remote but was very close to the adorable town of Idaho Springs and also only a short drive to catch a show at Red Rocks. We would definitely stay here again and maybe even bring the kids next time!

Fantastic place

We all needed a break from the hectic pace of life and found it here. Beautiful setting that is close to town without sacrificing being close to nature. The owner was proactive and kind. Thanks again for a great get-away

Best rental we have had due to the amazingly peaceful location. If you’re looking to rest and refresh, this is the perfect place!!

I needed a weekend away to clear my head. I definitely got it here. The house is beautiful and in a perfect location. The creek was perfect. Homeowner was very professional and kind. Highly recommended!!

The second you put the key in door all you hear is the rushing creek and the many blue jays and hummingbirds this is a wonderful clean home to enjoy the creek is a small fun place to fish there are many trout that I caught the owner Kenny was so easy to deal with by the tome we left he felt like an old friend. Enjoy we did

My wife and I celebrated are 23rd anniversary and met two more couples at Ken's place. The house was amazing and location is one of a kind!! Ken had all the necessary amenities needed to enjoy our 4 days stay. The wrap around deck that went over the river in the back was beautiful and I was able to catch a couple of small trout of the deck! We spent several nights out on the deck with a fire going, the grill smoking, good music playing, enjoying time with friends was perfect! The rooms & bathrooms were nice, kitchen stocked with the essentials like pots, pans & utensils and the house stayed nice and cool the whole time. The jacuzzi outside.... definitely something that needs to be done in the snow but we enjoyed it at night there under the stars! We wanted to go to a couple of places and Blackhawk and Golden were less than 30 min away but even better was Idaho Springs historic downtown only 2 minute drive! I could go on & on but you have to experience the home to realize how nice it really is! Overall this place was incredible! Definitely booking again!!

Kenny was a great host and worked with us for an early check since we had an infant after a long day of flying. The house was clean and spacious and each room was very comfortable. The steam shower was fantastic. Dinner over the river was the best part of this trip and always having the Chicago River in the background! Would definitely stay here again!

Not your average VRBO here!!! Ken has gone to every length to cover all of your wants/needs and we were over the top impressed with everything about the place! His great personality is reflected throughout and we got a huge laugh when we saw the mirror after taking a shower, ha!!! Thank you Ken, your hard work really shows and is greatly appreciated!!! Our best, Robb and Alli

We had a wonderful weekend. The house is just as pictured. Being on the water was so peaceful. We enjoyed the hot tub both nights. We went to town for meals and it was so easy. We went to Echo Mountain one day for tubing and had a blast.

This home was very inviting and the view of Chicago Creek was awesome. We loved it

My wife and I spent four days and three nights at the most amazing VRBO home. The photos on line represent the home beautifully. The creek behind the home provides a unique and tranquil ambience and there is plenty of wild life and indigenous plants surrounding the property. Inside the home is spacious, well stocked and there are so many touches the owners have thoughtfully provided. Chilled bottled water, coffee, personal hygiene supplies, fire features all set with wood and more readily available as well. The owners have provided fantastic instructions to help navigate the operations of the home and they provided great recommendations of restaurants and places of interest near by. Our personal favorites were the soaking tub, hot tub, sitting outside by the fire listening to the creek and all the surrounding natural beauty. There are many endearing decorations as well that you continually find and smile at. Such as a Ken doll climbing a ladder to reach Barbie at the top. A treasure chest filled with treasure and a hand reaching up to enjoy the riches. A row of tiny hand crafted bird houses. The home feels extremely private, yet most everything you need can be found in town minutes away. We attended a concert at the Red Rock Amphitheater and it was an easy drive there. There are also many hiking trails easily accessed from the home. It was a true pleasure staying in this home, we will be recommending it to friends and hope to return again.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. Ken was an amazing host. He was very accommodating and flexible as well as responsive to any questions regarding the property. The home itself sits against Chicago creek, so you can sit on the deck in morning and enjoy breathtaking views or the sounds of flowing water by night. It’s located very close to hiking, rafting, and zip lining for those who have plans to be active. But between the hot tub, comfortable living space and outdoor areas, you could have a relaxing stay while still enjoying the Beaty of nature without ever leaving the house.

Amazing destination! Close to town and so accessible but still feels like you’re deep in the mountains. Great house with great amenities and thoughtful touches. Will definitely be back!

This is a very comfortable house in a great location. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Such a beautiful home and location - we hardly spent any time off of the property. Feels more secluded than it is, truly feels like you’re in your own little world. The home itself is lovely, inside and out. Ken was helpful and responsive - would absolutely stay here again if possible!

Awesome location on the water and a quick walk to town. Plenty of local hiking trails and outdoor activities. Easy access from the Denver airport. Would definitely recommend!

What a great property to escape the burdens of this crazy year! Very spacious, with seating everywhere! Even heated floors in the bathrooms! We felt like it was home! Even though we loved the sounds from the frozen creek, we cannot wait to come back when it's warm! Great host and great communication!
