Great Cabin Near the Park

We were in town for the GTIS (Georgetown to Idaho Springs) half marathon, and the cabin was perfect for our family of 6 (grandparents, parents, 2 toddlers). The beds were comfy, there were a ton of pillows (always a plus!), and the bathrooms (three!) are all nicely updated. Everything we needed in the kitchen to toys and books for the kids. A great park for the littles ones was right around the corner. Georgetown has plenty of good places to eat, and an adorable downtown.

Weekend with Family

We had a wonderful weekend at this property with our family. We flew in from North Carolina for our nieces graduation and Georgetown was the perfect place to stay. Great location not far from Denver but in the beautiful Rockies! The house was perfect for our family. Very clean, comfortable and stocked. We will definitely stay here again!

Cute Town and Home

This property looks small from the front but goes back quite far and has a large basement. My main complaint is that the bedrooms are quite small - typical of an old home. Great living spaces and kitchen!
