Gorgeous home and views

This is a beautiful home that was perfect for our yearly trip with friends! There were 10 of us (5 couples) and we had plenty of room for hanging out together inside and out and plenty of beds and bathrooms. The kitchen was well stocked and we greatly appreciated having plenty of garbage bags, toilet paper and paper towels on hand. The owner was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Future renters should know that there was a recent change in local permits which means there is no longer access to the grill or fire pit on the property. The listing is accurate but the photos still show these items and other guests mention using them in their reviews. We did not miss the grill or the fire pit because it is such a gorgeous location and the kitchen is amazing! There is no A/C but there are fans in most bedrooms so while it did get a little warm in the upstairs bedrooms during the daytime it cooled off quickly. There was very little road traffic while we were there. You can't beat the location- off the beaten path but still close to town and other attractions with amazing views. We would love to come back again!

Wonderful getaway house in a beautiful setting

The house is really lovely. Five bedroom and 3.5 baths and plenty of space for 10 best friends. The property is really pretty, complete with a babbling brook right outside the door and a couple of foxes who kept an eye on us during our stay. The owner was really quick to get back to me when I had questions. No cell service but there is WiFi. Great place!

Birthday in Colorado!

Three Owls is an absolutely beautiful, peaceful retreat. I rented it for the second time to put the finishing touches on my sister's birthday celebration. She said she wanted to experience peace, space, beauty, and an exceptional view. Three Owls, has all of it from the interior to the exterior. We sat on the porch and listened to the stream and chimes, when the wind blew. The property looks like it does in the photos. Perfect! When we walked in, there were fresh flowers and a card from Liz (the property host), welcoming "her" to the property, with a warm birthday wish...just wow! Three Owls is amazing! A few minutes away from the highway, food, shops and plenty of beauty.

Great week at 3 Owls Retreat

Beautiful property, well laid out for our three generation family, allowing us space to all be together and private space when we wanted some. Located just 5 miles up the Mount Evans (Mount Blue Sky) Highway from Idaho Springs, close to all the attractions/activities the area has to offer. Teenage grandkids, 40-something kids and we had a wonderful time.

Family Vacation

Loved the location of the rental as you have a lot of options for activities. The house was well stocked with household items. Rooms were wonderful and great for a family vacation for 10. The only negative that we found was the oven seals were terrible. We had to turn up the heat to allow for leakage, Other than the oven issues, the accommodations were outstanding. We would recommend this location to others! We had a great time!

perfect house for my family of 10

The layout of the house was perfect, each family had their own room(s) spread out on 3 floors. (there were 10 of us) The kitchen was large & dining table held us all. The grandkids loved floating their toys down the stream. The lawn was large enough to play ball. The only downside was the dust from the road next to the house. We wanted to sit outside on the wonderful wrap around deck, but we all gave up due to the road dust billowing up to the house whenever a vehicle went by. (The house is right off the road.) Was an issue even if out on the lawn, but not as bad. We wish the road had been treated with oil/dust suppressor, then it would had been absolutely perfect. (This was the only reason for not giving a 5 star...the inside of the house is a 5 star.)

Peace, on steroids

Amazing! Three Owls, offered us everything that we needed. Walking in for the first time, my partner's response was "nice!" About 2hrs after settling in, now sitting on the front porch, he looked at me and said "you did good. I wasn't expecting anything of this magnitude." He absolutely loved cooking in the kitchen. There's plenty of seating but enough space to "feel free to move about the cabin." My guy is a rather large guy; he was comfortable with the furniture size the and the fact that every inch of space did not have something in it. too. We didn't feel cramped at all. We spent a large portion of our time just chilling outside on the front porch, like country people. From the porch, I photographed darn near everything that I saw: hummingbirds, blue jays, unknown birds, chipmunks, a fox and the myriads of flowers, weeds that look like flowers, pines and aspen, without ever leaving the property. Listening to the stream mixed with the sound of the chimes...perfect peace. The master shower is big enough for two, needless to say, we made full use of it. Three Owls has everything: your group can be as close or as far apart as they want to be. There were only 2 of us but, it's perfect for larger groups. It's perfect, not sure how I've missed it before but, Three Owls is now saved as a favorite. I'm already discussing going back with family. Three Owls,..perfect!

We came in town for a family wedding at the Blackstone Ranch a mile down the road. The location was wonderful, Idaho Springs is an 8 minute drive to wonderful Breweries, coffee shops, and restaurants, and grocery store. But being up in the mountains you feel like you are by yourself. The bedrooms and bathrooms are large clean, and well stocked. Beautiful outdoor space and lots of room to spread out around the home. We enjoyed our trip and recommend this place for large groups or a family vacation.

7 women get a way!

Wonderful home and accommodated 7 women beautifully. Tranquil, quiet and peaceful. The creek literally runs by the home and you can hear it lull you to sleep from the upstairs bedroom! Several sitting areas to retreat too, the steam shower was a must for us all to try, and the kitchen was fully stocked with all that we needed to cook our meals. The town is very cute and close for grocery’s. We all recommend the drive to Breckenridge!!! What a great town to shop, eat, and walk an amazing trail system. You can bike or walk between Frisco and Breckenridge. Another must… the hot springs!!!! We had a day there to use the mineral pool, hot springs, and of course, added a much needed massage. Another must in my opinion!!!! The only two things I would recommend the houses would need- a tea kettle and kindling/ fire starters for the wood stove. There is plenty of wood in the shed but some may struggle to start if your not a pyro like me :) We enjoyed a fire every night. Thank you for such a great home!
