My husband and I recently stayed at Miners Pick for our honeymoon. Neither of us had stayed in a bed and breakfast before and were not sure what to expect. We had a very relaxing stay and Vicki was the perfect Hostess. We stayed in the Quarry room. It had a jet bathtub that was amazing. The breakfast was very good. We really enjoyed ourselves and would like to make this a yearly tradition.

This is an exceptional B&B. Rooms are spacious, airy and attractive. Vicki Larson, the proprietor, is friendly and highly knowledgable about the area. The location is ideal--close to whitewater rafting (I recommend Liquid Descent) and downtown restaurants.

Our anniversary getaway began with a ride on the historic Georgetown Loop Railroad. Then a 15-minute drive down the interstate to Idaho Springs brought us to this beautiful inn. We felt welcome the moment we walked in, and spent a while relaxing before heading up the hill to Central City and Blackhawk for dinner and gaming. Upon our return to the inn, we were presented with champagne and strawberries by Vicki, the innkeeper, who was an amazing hostess. In the morning, we ate a delicious breakfast and returned to the city. We had a wonderful time and will certainly visit Vicki and the Miner's Pick again.

My husband and I have visited The Miner's Pick every year for the last five years over the Fourth of July holiday. From our very first visit, we were impressed with the excellent hospitality, clean rooms, and amazing breakfasts. Vicki has every guest's best interest at heart and does everything she can to make the experience unforgettable. You won't be disappointed and will drive away from The Miner's Pick planning your next trip to Idaho Springs. (A great layover stop for your ski vacations too.) We are experienced "B&B" travelers and have stayed at many across the country. This is one of the very best! Barbara and Don

The Best Pick for a close quiet mountain getaway is The Miner's Pick Bed & Breakfast nestled in the heart of Idaho Springs. This place rocks if you need peace of mind and a time away to recuperate from a fast paced world. The proprietor, Vicki Larson offers several clean quaint rooms that are comfortable and spacious. Ms. Larson made sure every individual amenity was met and her facility truly is a reflection of how she enjoys her guests. Ms Larson's number one priority was to make our stay as enjoyable & relaxing as possible......and her breakfast was a gourmet treat! Can't say enough about this great little hideaway spot - We are a professional couple who are 5th generation Coloradans who enjoy REAL mountain activities - cant believe this place is so close to Denver! - Wow.
