Flint: Creekside Mountain Cabin Guidebook
Neighborhoods
We're only a few minutes from downtown/old town Idaho Springs, Colorado. There are some great local restaurants, pubs, breweries and shops to explore. If relaxing is on your agenda, we recommend The Indian Hot Springs where you can enjoy outdoor jacuzzies, private bathes, the indoor pool as well as book massages and enjoy the mud room. There are also a ton of outdoor activities to enjoy in the area: horseback riding, ATV adventures, rafting, ziplining, mine tours, mountain biking, hiking, skiing, etc. We're located on the road that leads to Mt. Evans, so if you're looking for a good basecamp, stay with us! =) The cabin is located in a small riverfront enclave near other tiny cabins.
Please do not book this property if you require a large acreage property with no one else, or other structures around. There are other cabins nearby. And while this cabin is private, it is not secluded in the wilderness.
