The Alice Cabin in Winterland!

So...you're after an adventure. Or maybe it's a cozy escape into the mountains...a getaway from the stresses and routine of daily life. Come escape from it all when you visit the Alice in Winterland Cabin! This mountain community feels magical, and what better way to reconnect, enjoy family time, and simply 'just get away.'

My husband and I love the community of St. Mary's - the history, the land, the neighbors, the views...it's breath-takingly beautiful! This is our vacation home with our 4 children, and we want to share it with you when we can't be there.

A little more about the cabin - it's a one bedroom (cozy and comfortable), one full-bath, a cool 'ladder-loft' that comfortably sleeps two (twin mattresses), a sleeper sofa in the living area, a fully equipped kitchen, a TON of extras including a Pack-N-Play for your littlest one, a fold-out toddler cot, an umbrella stroller to use when strolling through town, various size snow boots during the winter season , snow jackets in size small in women's and medium in men's, snow pants (if they fit, you're welcome to use them), super soft blankets for star viewing, and so many extras.

Step through the 'Looking Glass' and experience snow-topped trees and mountains in the winter and crisp, cool terrain and hummingbirds that whir by during the spring and summer. Spectacular views are what sets our cabin apart. We are 10,000 feet up, and our deck offers an unobstructed view of the mountains. We face the absolutely spectacular sunrises, and go to bed with cozy fires. Please be advised that you will need a 4WD vehicle during snow months (typically late October through April usually) to make it up and down the mountain.

If you'd like a little adventure while you're here, there is plenty to do right up on the mountain, down in Idaho Springs and within a short drive! For the outdoorsy, hiking is very popular (a hike to St. Mary's Glacier is a MUST), ATV tours are a five minute drive away, fishing (we provide 2 passes, poles, and a stocked tackle-box!) to fish in 2 private stocked lakes (catch and release only); horseback riding within 30 minutes, ziplining, white-water rafting, SHOPPING and DINING in quaint Idaho Springs...), but honestly, just buying groceries in town for dinners, watching some movies or your favorite show on satellite with a glass of wine or a local beer on the deck or by the fire may be just what you are seeking. We cherish memories and want this getaway to be 'that memory' for you!

Great little cabin with amazing views. Sunrises are worth waking up for and we love the peacefulness of the location. Great for snow in the winter when we go and close to town or ski slopes. Love our trip here every year

Amazing view and cozy cabin!
We had an absolutely relaxing and wonderful stay at this place. The view from the deck is beautiful! We hiked St Mary’s Glacier trail and walked to the trailhead from the house (it adds about a mile each way). Idaho Springs was about a 25 minute drive and was full of lots of great restaurants (Beaujos for pizza!) and breweries. Thanks for sharing your wonderful place with us!

loved our week long stay at this cabin high up in the mountains
We loved this cabin! At 10,000 ft, we had such beautiful views of the mountains! It was truly breathtaking to sit on the porch and take in all the beauty of Colorado! Owners were helpful when we needed something and caretakers to the property were close to help if needed! Super quiet which allowed us to really enjoy getting away from our normal city routines. Would definitely rent again!

Great time
We loved staying here. Well stocked with anything we needed. Clean. Kiddo loved the loft area. The drive in was a little nerve wracking for a family from sea level but so beautiful and peaceful to enjoy the view from the porch. Spent a day just sledding down the driveway and making snowmen and had a blast. Thank you for having us!

Getaway? It’s this one!!!
We stayed 4 nights and it snowed for 3. If you’re not from snow country and are a flatlander, be sure to take snow chains and or 4 wheel drive. Best money I have spent. It was a wonderful experience in every aspect.

Wonderful small cabin getaway! Loved it! Can’t wait to return! Deck overlooks gorgeous Mtn range!
Small cabin on the mountains! Beautiful views! All the amenities of Home! Loved watching the hummingbirds on the deck! It was quiet and perfect for a get away!! The directions helped us easily find it and the cabin was only 25 mins from Idaho Springs and Georgetown was close! The owners responded quickly to texts and we felt at Home! This was a wonderful retreat! We read and just looked at the mountains! Lots more to do but that was not our plans! We are definitely going back! I highly recommend it for single family or couple!

Perfect getaway!
My husband and I brought our 17 month old son to Idaho Springs for a long weekend getaway. The Winterland cabin was everything we were hoping for!!! The cabin was so beautiful - we've had a hard time deciding on our favorite aspect: the wood-fire stove? coffee/wine on the deck with THAT VIEW? the convenient access to St. Mary's Glacier (we hiked to the top twice!)? the amenities in "downtown" Idaho Springs? It's a tough call. Charlotte was very helpful leading up to the trip - providing all of the information we would need to enjoy our stay. I'd recommend this cabin to anyone looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of life, or as a base camp for your outdoor adventures!

Beautiful, Cozy Cabin
This was a perfect weekend getaway for my wife and I. Charlotte and Adam (owners) were very prompt and responsive with our inquiries and multiple questions. They were great to work with! We got in to Denver late Friday evening and didn't get up to the cabin until around 10:00 pm and was welcomed by Sarah and Glenn (house caretakers) to lead us up to the cabin from the main road up the mountain, which was very helpful. They even took the time to start a fire for us! As for the cabin, it was the perfect size for us and had amazing views. We both woke up early each morning to capture the sunrise coming over the mountain tops. Tips/Tricks: Stop by the Safeway (sign up for the Safeway card and take advantage of their deals) in Idaho Springs and grab any and all food/drinks *especially bottled water* before heading up the mountain. It's about a 9 mile trek up the mountain and will take about 25 minutes (in good weather conditions) to drive up/down so try to remember all the items you'll need for your stay.

Summer Getaway
Fantastic family trip to the mountains. Views were outstanding. Close enough to St Mary’s Glacier you could walk to the trailhead and make it an extended hike (especially if you get a late start and find the parking lots loaded). Get there early if you want a more peaceful glacial experience without massive crowds. Silver Lake up from St Mary’s trail head was a fantastic alpine lake to fish surrounded by Fox Mountain and Kingston Peak coullier. Poles and tackle suffice for our needs as novice, but more serious anglers would want some better options for lures. Could see several trout shoreside and larger fish jumping in the deeper water. Location close enough to Idaho Springs for groceries and restaurants/breweries but far enough to feel secluded. We did notice - as other guests stated - the cleanliness was less than anticipated given the cleaning fees. Cobwebs and crumbs on the tables and counters. Aging carpets and furniture as well. The master bed was also as others have stated as being extremely soft and not as restful for us who like firmer mattresses. None of this detracted from our stay. We’re so glad we found this stay and would stay here again in the future.

Perfect Cabin in the Mountains
This cabin was everything I wanted it to be. We traveled with two small children ages 3 and 5 and had a wonderful time. The best part was that we didn't have to go anywhere to enjoy the snow. We spent a majority of our time sledding down the driveway and playing in the snow around the house. My kids were too little, but I hiked all the way up the hill behind the house and came to a wonderful walking path. My husband said it might have been a fire break (or something like that). Either way, it was dreamy. I was able to hike along in the snow in the perfectly quiet mountain scenery. If you want to get out an about, you are literally 5 minutes away from the St. Mary's glacier hike, and about an hour away from Winter Park which is a gorgeous drive. I would recommend going to Safeway before arriving to the house, particularly during the winter months. This will ensure that you arrive during daylight hours which is important for your first time arriving at the cabin. Also, make sure you follow the directions the owner sends, not google maps. While google maps would have gotten us to the house, the directions the owner gives you allows you to enter the driveway from a particular direction which allows you to get some momentum to get up the driveway. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and I can't wait to go back! Maybe this next time without kids! :-)

Peaceful mountain cabin!
We loved our stay at your cabin! It was exactly what we were hoping for. We arrived late at night so weren't able to see our surroundings until the next morning. When we woke up and looked out the front windows, WOW, the view really took our breath away! Sitting high up on the mountain, we had a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains for miles around, just beautiful! The cabin was very clean and had plenty of room for the five of us (my husband, myself, and our three children). The girls loved the loft space and the view from up there. The deck was the perfect place to watch the sun rise over the mountains while enjoying a morning coffee. There was a hummingbird feeder on the deck which attracted a variety of hummingbirds that would whiz by us, very fun to watch. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to make our breakfasts and dinners there at the cabin. We were able to buy groceries at the Safeway in Idaho Springs just a short drive away. Each day we enjoyed the drive up and down the mountain just taking in the scenery. We spent one day in Idaho Springs where we had fun visiting the variety of shops and some great restaurants, it was very family-friendly. The St. Mary's Glacier was about a five-minute drive from the cabin. The hike up had us all winded (not used to the altitude!) but was well worth it. The lake and surrounding mountains looked like a scene from The Sound of Music! Definitely a must-do! This was definitely the perfect place for our stay in the area, lots of activities and great hiking nearby. We would love to visit your amazing cabin again!

Mountain get-away
My husband and I enjoyed a few days in Colorado last week and stayed at the Alice cabin in winterland. We were very pleased with all aspects of the cabin!! Charlotte, the host, was so accommodating and quick on responding when I reached out with questions. Her instructions for check-in and check-out were very easy to understand. The cabin had everything we needed for our stay and it was very clean. I would recommend this cabin if you are looking for something quiet with a Mountain View! And again, Charlotte was an awesome host! Thanks again for making our get-away an enjoyable one!
