Perfection

Randy’s cabin was perfect for our Saturday to Saturday spring break stay in Idaho Springs. Centrally located to so many things so that we could venture out for a few hours or for the whole day and still have a perfect spot to come back to each night. Idaho Springs offered SO many delicious restaurant options for lunch and dinner and shops to get everything we needed for our stay or to take back home. Well stocked, comfortable but most importantly, clean!!!

About the host

Hosted by Randy Skalski

We hope that you have a wonderful stay at our log cabin. We lived in Colorado for more than 20 years and after a careful search, purchased this cabin for our family’s use during frequent trips to Colorado and enjoy sharing it with our guests. Thank-you for being our guest and we hope you will return.

Why they chose this property

We love the setting of our cabin, nestled in a canyon, with a roaring creek, surrounded by National Forest, and without another home in sight. We also like the convenient location near the lively and vibrant City of Denver, with every available cultural activity and amenity; the quaint and historic town of Idaho Springs; and all the splendid sights and activities in the Rocky Mountains.

What makes this property unique

The sights and sounds of the creek are truly magical. On a more practical note, the cabin is extremely easy to find and easy to get to anytime of year on paved roads that are snow-plowed regularly. Winter access is about as good as it gets for the mountains in Colorado.
