Cozy Mountain Retreat

Our home is located in St. Mary's Glacier, a subdivision about 10 miles northwest of Idaho Springs, and about an hour from the Denver Metro area. It sits at just under 10,000 feet so remember to drink lots of water. We have two bedrooms upstairs, one with a king size bed and the other with a queen size bed. There is a full bath upstairs as well as a small washer and dryer, a stocked linen closet, and plenty of storage for clothes. Downstairs we have an open concept living, dining, and kitchen area with a 2 person breakfast bar and all the comforts of home. Off the living room is a half bath, a selection of DVD's and books, Direct TV, Wifi, and our couch folds out to a queen size bed. A wood burning stove in the living room can heat the entire house but there are also electric baseboard heaters in every room.

We love animals and we do allow a maximum of 2 dogs for an additional fee of $75 per stay. Please make sure to indicate pets in your reservation.

We love to sit out on the deck in the morning and drink coffee while we wait for the deer to frolic by on their way to the creek that backs up to the property. During the summer, our feeders attract hummingbirds, moose are common, and at times black bears like to visit the neighborhood. 4-wheeling trails are abundant in the St. Mary's area and many can be accessed from our house. The Indian Hot Springs are just a short drive down to Idaho Springs which also has rafting, shopping, breweries, excellent BBQ, and the iconic Beau Jo's pizza. Royal Jelly Bakery DELIVERS the best baked goods to our neighborhood every Friday! Check them out here https://www.royaljellybakery.com/. We are a 30 minute drive to Central City and Black Hawk, 25 minutes to Echo Lake and Mt. Evans, and are surrounded by winter and summer sports recreation areas such as skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, ATV trails, hiking, fishing, ice skating, and more!

Perfect Mountain Retreat!
We have stayed at this ‘Cozy Mountain Retreat’ several times, but this was a special visit because of the wildlife and beautiful Colorado fall colors. We saw moose roaming in the meadow below the deck on several occasions and have wonderful pictures documenting a perfect fall week in the high country. This is a very clean, quiet and relaxing place to stay. Thank you for sharing your mountain home!

The property was quiet and beautiful Moose were seen grazing only 100’ from the back deck while hummingbirds buzzed past your head. Idaho Springs was only 15-20 minutes away. The cabin was well equipped. All in all, a very calming environment.

We enjoyed another few days at ‘Cozy Mountain Retreat’. We love this cabin, tucked away in the St. Mary’s Glacier area. The views are beautiful and it’s fun to take in the wildlife while sipping coffee on the deck. This was a much needed get away from the Denver heat. Easy check-in and check-out, quiet neighborhood and the cabin is clean and very comfortable. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This beautiful modern cabin was a nice getaway! It was very clean and tidy! A couple deer was seen but unfortunately no other wildlife; however, we enjoyed the milder temperatures and being up in the mountains! Idaho Springs and Black Hawk were short drives away and beautiful scenery on the drive to Black Hawk. Would recommend!

Quaint and great for relaxing.
Great weekend escape for relaxing. Home had two comfy bedrooms and kitchen with all of the basics. Dining/living area very comfortable and easy to chat and play. Large deck you can relax on. Lots of games. We saw deer and lots of bunnies. You can walk to St Mary's glacier (a little over a mile up hill) or a short drive. We drove into Idaho Springs for a few hours each day (twenty minutes of very winding road each way with pretty views) for kiddos to visit the mine and play. Just FYI... The weather is always about 20 degrees cooler than Idaho Springs forecast. We are newbies to the mountains and got caught in a very unexpected snowstorm the night we arrived as we were expecting it to be much warmer.

This was our third stay at ‘Cozy Mountain Retreat’. We highly recommend having morning coffee on the deck to take in the scenery and the wildlife. We saw deer, rabbits, Blue Jays, an eagle, and very busy squirrels. This is a quiet neighborhood, and the cabin is clean and quite comfortable. Looking forward to staying here again.

Serene and Peaceful Cabin in the woods
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cabin in the woods. I liked the fact that we were not completely isolated but felt far away from the hustle and bustle of Downtown Idaho Springs. Very spacious Master Bedroom and the kitchen was completely stocked with most appliances you could need. Would definitely stay here again!

Relax with a View
We recently stayed at this beautiful mountain cabin with our family of four and dog! Our first day there we were greeted by two large moose and a number of beautiful hummingbirds! The house was perfect, clean and inviting. The only downside, certainly no fault of the owners, was that it’s a 10 mile drive up the mountain with locals who drives like Cowboys. All we’re saying is be careful making that trip and if you feel pressured pull over because those are some serious cliffs to be tailgated on. Idaho Springs is a great little town and the Phoenix gold mine is highly recommended. Bottom line we would stay here again in a heartbeat and really enjoyed the vacation!

This was our second stay at ‘Cozy Mountain Retreat’. The views are amazing, peaceful/quiet neighborhood with very comfortable/clean accommodations. What a treat to have coffee on the deck and watch a moose grazing in the meadow by the creek! We highly recommend this cabin and appreciate quick responses from the owner for a question or two. ‘Thank you’ for a delightful four nights at your amazing cabin. We’re looking forward to returning in September to take in the fall colors.
