Come experience the high alpine! Our bunkhouse and lot are conveniently located just 1/2 mile from both the St. Mary's Glacier and the Yankee Hill ATV/OHV trailheads. The Arapaho National Forest with tons of hiking is also just 200 yds away! The lot is open and spacious. It faces south and west for maximum sun exposure. Enjoy mountain views of Grey's and Torrey's Peaks right from your lawnchair! Come have a picnic or have a campfire under the stars. Utilize our bunkhouse to crash for a couple nights, to get out of the elements after camping, to give more space for the kids, or just as a mountain hangout with your friends. The bunkhouse, has one full bed, one single bed, and a fold-down futon if needed. It has power, indoor and outdoor lights, and heat, however, no plumbing. An outhouse is provided right outside the door! Use our large lot for overnight parking of your ATV toyhaulers or RVs.

Cozy Bunkhouse with Great Trails
My partner Travis, our dog Fin, and I had an incredible stay at the Bunkhouse in Idaho Springs. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and comfortable. The Bunkhouse was clean and cozy, providing the perfect retreat after our day spent exploring the nearby trails. The location is ideal for anyone who loves hiking, with numerous trails within walking distance. The host was exceptionally accommodating, providing detailed information that made our stay seamless. We appreciated the thoughtful touches, such as the easy-to-find clean bedding, local maps, and heated outhouse. This Airbnb truly exceeded our expectations, and we would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and adventurous getaway!

Would recommend this place!
Had a great trip up at this bunkhouse. Size was pretty good for the location and price. Great access to hiking and Saint Mary’s Glacier. Outhouse was heated and had fridge, microwave, and other good amenities.
