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.

Finally, each day we couldn't resist the cooking at the lodge. We had to try one dinner and each day breakfast. Wow, very flavorful and well known hard work and dedication.

First off, this bed and breakfast is just BED. Breakfast is $15 extra. I found that odd right off…read morethe bat, how can you be a B&B with only B? 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).

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.

Luxury Treehouse? If…read morethe concept of a luxury treehouse is an oxymoron for you, perhaps you should visit Juniper Lodge Treehouses. The expertly appointed, and finished small houses with trees outside of every window, each with a rotating supply of birds, is owned and operated by a couple nice enough to be Canadians. The 40 yard hike up a slight grade on a lighted path is almost enough to convince you that you are "in the mountains." The view from the outdoor seating area in front of each house of the valley is calming and the altitude makes the night's sleep feel well earned. Highly recommend.

While looking for someplace close to Denver where my husband and I could take a two-day…read moremini-vacation and bring our dog along, I stumbled upon this gem. Juniper Lodge is a magical place, with lovely indoor and outdoor spaces to relax -- think rocking chairs, hot tub, game room, and firepits -- and Evergreen Lake and the cute little town of Evergreen are just a short drive away. In addition to the five rooms in the lodge, the property has two awesome-looking treehouses available to stay in, with plans for four more to be built in the near future. Although Juniper Lodge is conveniently located close to I-70, the property itself is woodsy and quiet. We enjoyed making s'mores at one of the firepits while watching swarms of hummingbirds drink and battle each other at the nearby feeders. I loved sitting in one of the rocking chairs on the deck overlooking the forest, reading my book, drinking my coffee, and listening to the birds sing. We also explored the trail above the lodge leading to the treehouses and a stage area that would probably be a neat place for a wedding. We only met Ashley during this visit, but she was kind, attentive, and passionate about the property. We would highly recommend Juniper Lodge to anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet, and romantic place to stay.

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.

Upon my arrival he greeted me as I pulled up and quickly checked me in. The Columbine is Charming. The room reminds me of going to my grandmother's home. It smelled fantastic when I walked in the door. The bedding isn't the standard white. It's full of color, as are the towels. There is a kitchenette, small table, two burner stove, fridge, microwave, and a coffee pot. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The only thing that could possibly be improved was the paint that was peeling in the restroom probably from the steam and years. Nothing a new coat of paint couldn't fix. I would definitely stay here again. It was adorable, comfortable, and most importantly affordable. I appreciate the kindness of Sam, and hope to see him again when I visit the area.
