From the front deck, wildlife can be seen across the valley, early in the morning and in the evening. The hummingbirds are very active from May - August. Occasionally, deer, fox, owls, and bear have been seen on this property. Most months of the year, the babbling creek of soda creek road is heard from the deck.

Ask about the old mine that was left behind by the pioneers during the Gold Rush. This can be accessed through the forest at the edge of the property.
The driveway is steep in the beginning but is gradual after that section. There is a large lot at the bottom of the driveway, adjacent with the road. This lot can fit about 3 cars if you are unable to ascend driveway (this only happens in Winter months). Luckily, Idaho Springs does not see as much snow precipitation as nearby mountain towns like breckenridge. AWD or 4WD is a necessity during Winter months.
This location offers a .8-mile drive to Miner Street, in Idaho springs. I-70 is 5 minutes away but cannot be heard from this mountain cabin.
Bask in privacy rarely found without being deep in the Rockies, while being close to many of Colorado's great attractions.
