We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Beautiful views and surroundings.

This stay was a nice getaway with some girl friends. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't ideal for us, as it was insanely windy and uncomfortable to be outside, but that's no fault of the hosts. The house is a bit smaller than the photos make it look, but it didn't feel too small. The beds were comfy, and the location really is great with such pretty views. Would love to go back in the summer and enjoy the additional amenities the house has to offer. Had some issues with the host not seeing some of our questions/being late to respond, but hoping that's not a recurring issue. Overall, would recommend!

The cabin was incredible, just as pictured, very homey with breathtaking surroundings. Host was super responsive with the few messages sent, appreciated the quick responses! Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our quite new years stay here! Everything was as described. \nLoved that it was close enough to Idaho Springs for shops, restaurants and groceries. \nWill definitely like to stay in the summer to take advantage of the lake activities, but the view of the frozen lake and the mountains was breathtaking.

We had a great experience during our stay. The house and lake were very relaxing and had everything we needed for some great meals.

Thought the prices was totally worth it. Billy’s place was one of only a couple right on the lake, and had THE best view. Between hiking, hot tubbing, hitting the sauna, cooking together and snugging in to play games and watching movies, it was the perfect set up for us to completely chill out for a few days. Already thinking about a summer visit :). **added bonus - I mistakenly left a valuable watch and got a call thr same day we left asking how they could get it to me. Bottomline - exceptional experience with location, home/amenities and our gracious host. Thanks for everything Billy!

I booked a stay last minute for my birthday and the hosts were very accommodating! It had already been cleaned so it was ready to go when we got in after dark. We enjoyed staying with our three dogs and that they were welcomed to this place, as it’s hard to find a spot with so many! We enjoyed a relaxing getaway complete with a wood burning stove and would definitely like to check it out in the summertime, as it really is right on the lake. Thanks again!
