The house is inviting, quaint, very clean, beautifully appointed and each room offers wonderful amenities. We stayed in Sleepy Hollow. Very comfortable bed (love the comforter) quiet room, great cross breeze, beautiful view, updated bathroom with a jetted tub (also a shower with a shower head high enough for my 6 ft husband), plenty of hot water. Extra touches like the shared coffee bar make it a homey feel. Great breakfast; ours was palisade peaches, eggs Benedict with dill sauce and a blueberry muffin. This place is a gem!!

They have a fantastic sauna, comfortable room, beautiful grounds. With our reservations (through their website) we requested dinner as well as breakfast. They asked us in our confirmation email if we had any preferences for food. We mentioned we were bacon fans, and Eric made a special bacon recipe just for us. It was like staying with friends who really, really knew how to cook and decorate a house. We loved the movie theater, too! We will definitely return. Also, found out that they do weddings and catering... I can only imagine what an amazing even they could create in this gorgeous setting.

The manager (owner?) was very nice and accommodating, the room was clean and nice, if not a bit small, and the whole place was charming with a killer view. Only three stars because of the missing "B", but when you paid the extra (which then makes this higher end hotel room prices) the breakfast was pretty "meh". A microwaved quiche wasn't to my taste as it was flavorless and had a very rubbery texture. The blueberry muffin was delicious, and the tiny slice of ham was good too. Your breakfast won't even look anywhere close to the pictures on their website, it is neither gourmet or very good (except the muffin).

Great ambience and delicious food! Beautiful view of the mountains and we loved the live music.read more

We arrived for a one night stay, Saturday to Sunday morning. Checking in at 3pm, Vickie greeted us…read morewarmly from the door opening welcome, to chatting briefly about strolling down Miner's street, just a 3 to 4 minute walk from the B&B, the main street of Idaho Springs. The 3 Bedrooms are on the second floor, You walk up about 13 steps. Interesting the bedroom we had with a private bathroom, the shower is on a timer. My wife's morning shower came to an unanticipated stop when the shower water turned off automatically. I did okay with my shower time. Had a bit of a whoops with the suspended shower rod, a portion seperated, but I put it back together. Commodes are the classic commodes in terms of size. Originally this house was a single level home, I believe it became a "pop top" somewhere in the 1980's. Parking is in front of the House on Colorado Blvd. Retiring in the evening, the bedroom has a very warm feeling. If you wanted to stay in on a cold winter's night with a book to read, this is the place. Comforter was very enveloping and warm. You feel like you're back in the early to mid 1900's. The bedroom is a place to sleep, no TV or radio in the room, the TV is located in the common area. No closet in the bedroom. This house was built in 1895, and back then people didn't have closets like we have today. in fact they probably didn't have the amount of clothes that we have nowadays. We had 2 cell phones and 2 pads. The wifi hookup was quick and fast service. Didn't feel deprived, I was able to listen to some audio books and webinars were smooth and not choppy. If you want to attend church in the morning, the Catholic Church is literally across the street. just a 30 sec to 1 minute walk to attend. The other churches are within 5 minutes adjacent to the Catholic Church. All 3 churches are on Colorado Blvd. In the morning Vickie prepared a simple and filling breakfast. Egg omlet, hash browns, choice of juice, buttered toast with jam, coffee or tea. She enjoys conversation with her guests and we were just as pleased to engage in conversation with her. Vickie has owned this B&B since 2002 and also has family ties in Idaho Springs area. She is very knowledgable about the area. If you want a quick and nearby get-a-way from Denver, This is a great place to drive to. From where we live on the eastern plain it's just an hour drive. If you're on the west side of Denver, it's about 30mins. Idaho Springs is considered a bedroom community of Denver, and with enough activities to consider it a destination spot vs a drive through spot. Highly reccommend The Miners Pick B&B.

My husband and I stayed here for the last few days of our vacation in Colorado. It was wonderfully quiet and set in a beautiful location. We rented out the bottom floor/basement, which came with WiFi and had a cozy bedroom with fireplace, sauna, steam shower, and large living room. We also enjoyed reading in the hammocks outside. The living room came equipped with a large screen and projector along with a huge variety of DVDs. The space was equipped with a mini-refrigerator, toaster oven, and sink. We spent most of our time indoors with a few trips to nearby towns to explore a bit and eat. A microwave or hot plate was really the only thing we missed. The water didn't get quite hot enough for the coffee we made using the French Press and there were a few other things we wanted to heat up that didn't work out well in a toaster oven. We didn't partake in the breakfast, so I can't comment on that. The sauna and steam shower were my favorite amenities. The sauna warmed me up and helped relieve some of the tension and soreness I was carrying around. The steam shower helped me breathe better. The dry air caused havoc with my sinuses, and it was nice to get into the steam shower to help alleviate the dryness. The owner was extremely friendly and invited us to enjoy the hot tub and greenhouse. After a very busy few months of travel, conferences, and craziness at work, I just wanted to relax and be left alone. This was the perfect location for that! We spent most of our time indoors with a few trips to nearby towns to explore a bit and eat. I wasn't able to hike because the altitude affected me too much, but really just having a place to be away from people and the bustle of city life was what I needed most.

Truly what a joy- flew up for 3 nights at JMH and could not have loved it more. We stayed in the…read moreBoxelder room downstairs which is the closest to the outdoor hot tub (didn't use but still neat). The decor was so perfect-like modern southwestern rustic, not sure but I made notes for my own home. Bed comfy, shower hot, fire place inside the room a dream. In the room there is a mini fridge and water kettle, but just outside the room there is a sitting area and mini kitchenette with a microwave. There are a number of loungey gathering areas at the house, I think it would be perfect for a chill girls' weekend where you book out a few rooms. Everything was exactly as shown on the website and while we never met the owners in person, they were so accommodating with quick communication through text. Checking in and out was smooth. You will need to be ok with a flight of stairs to get in the front (and then down to the room if that's what you choose). The driveway is steep but the hosts put gravel on it if icy and our all wheel drive sedan did not have an issue. We spent one of our days at Breckenridge Nordic Center (loved) about an hour drive away. Don't sleep on their food offerings at JMH- we ordered a charcuterie board and wine to greet us at check in and a hikers pack lunch which we brought and ate on a break from skiing in Breck. So yummy-- The owners also put together a local recommendations manual and their recs for coffee and food in Evergreen were spot on. We would definitely choose JMH again!

Juniper Mountain House in Evergreen is a special place. It's a boutique hotel in the style of a…read moremodern day bed and breakfast (sans the breakfast). The house is cozy, remote, and filled with spectacular vibes, courtesy of owners Alea and Ashley, who treat their guests like family. I booked a weekend staycation for my lady's birthday present back in November. Little did she know that I planned to propose to her here. On Friday night, I popped the question on the snowy, outdoor deck by the fire. It was perfect. She said yes, obviously! For that reason alone, Juniper Mountain House will always hold a special place in our hearts. However, let me touch on more specifics regarding the house. First things first, book online via their website if you can. You can also find them on Airbnb and other booking platforms. There are five rooms to choose from, we stayed in the Evergreen Room downstairs that has a beautiful view of the mountains. It's also worth noting that it was only a 30 minute drive from Denver! You arrive by driving up a lengthy driveway and starstruck by the most picturesque mountain home. We were greeted instantly by Alea, as she gave us the rundown and tour of the property with the house dog, Denali. Oh, they even have a hiking trail on site that leads to their wedding venue known as The Meadow. Yeah, this place is pretty damn dreamy. There are two common areas inside the house that are perfect for relaxing. Choose your adventure here by going on a hike, jumping in the hot tub, playing pool, sitting by the outdoor fire pit, or getting to know the other guests staying on site. Like any outstanding business, the people behind the scenes make it special. Ashley and Alea were a joy to talk to, so much so that they brought out a bottle of champagne when they heard about our engagement! Little touches like these, in addition to how they've thought about every minute detail of the house to make it functional and fashionable, made our stay absolutely perfect. I don't like to throw around that P word too often, but I can't think of a more perfect word to describe our experience here. Damnit, I used it again... Locals and travelers, Juniper Mountain House is a MUST.

And Sam Salter will always brag that, "he's been in the business for 30 years"!! I called to verify my emailed pre-approved 1:00pm early check in from weeks ago, (instead of the 3pm), when I arrived at the Idaho Springs, CO location. I was taken aback when he retorted angrily that I need to come back at 3pm because he would not allow me to check in at 1pm "because of Covid"! That was fine with me, but why did I get an OK email in the first place, I asked? Sam retorted, "I just emailed you that I need to check in at the designated time, don't you read your emails"? (which he probably sent while I was on the road). Then Sam proceeded to dare me, "You can cancel if you want to"! "Do you want me to cancel you"? I just said that "That's Ok, we will come back at 3pm then" So I came back at the designated time, knocked on the closed office. Somebody acknowledged, so I went in. I gave him my name, he looked for it in his database, and then asked for my CC. When Sam was about to get my card, He asked, "Have you been vaccinated"? I said 'No" With barefaced disdain, he immediately put on his mask! And ask with hostility: "Why aren't you vaccinated"? And proceeded to a condescending lecture, "You should be vaccinated, yada, yada, yada"! While I was signing my receipt, He asked me again, "why didn't I get vaccinated"? And when I enumerated my reasons, he cut me off in explaining why with, "THIS CONVERSATION IS OVER"! And told me "to GO, GET OUT OF THE OFFICE!"! And STAY AWAY FROM ME"! When I entered the dated room, "heavily scented" with an annoying cheap perfume! I noticed the visible filthy carpet with SERIOUS STAINS on it!! And said to myself, "This carpet has more COVID than anywhere else"! And the AC vents looks like it hasn't been cleaned for '30 years'! (wink wink) with hardened dirty smudges in between jalousies ! So are the comforters! And the pillows! They had musty human odors! I have to spray LYSOL Aerosol EVERYWHERE! (Good thing I brought my own pillow and towel!) You could tell when you enter a hotel room with intense perfume scent, they are hiding the ODOR! or something!! This was the MOST DISGUSTING and HUMILIATING encounter I had with a Hotelier!! SO, if you want to spare yourself from an ANGRY OLD, MISERABLE MAN's WRATH! STAY AWAY FROM COLUMBINE INN at IDAHO SPRINGS, Colorado!
