We stayed here last week and found the whole Bed and Breakfast experience very relaxing and enjoyable. Our breakfast was timely and the food was very tasty. I felt like I had been there before. I would totally go back to the Miners Pick!! Great job........
Innkeeper Response
Thank you for the review! My goal is to create a space that feels like "Home" but without the work. It makes my heart sing when a guest comes away feeling like they have been cared for. I wish you all the best.

One of the best B&B's I've ever stayed in, the owner is wonderful, and though the town is undergoing construction it's quite charming. Great place to stay if you are skiing Loveland on a budget.

We just stayed here, our very first time and I will definitely be back when we visit Idaho Springs again! This was the cleanest room we have EVER stayed in! The owner and her assistant were super friendly and helpful. Best accommodations here! Love this place!

We stayed in the Quarry room for 2 nights, July 11 - 12. The room was nicely decorated and the bed was very comfortable. The jetted tub was a wonderful bonus. Breakfast the first morning was Swedish pancakes, delicious! Morning two was a delicious egg dish with sausage and hash browns, also yummy. Vicki is a lovely person and perfect to own a B&B. She suggested a few options of things to do in the area. We decided to take the train ride and mine tour. I recommend both. For a great stay in Idaho Springs, the Miners Pick B and B is a perfect choice!

We had a great experience staying at Minors Pick - Vicki was more than accommodating and helpful. She prepared delicious breakfasts for us, even with a gluten free request! Very friendly, I felt we were leaving friends upon departing. Would definitely recommend to anyone, and hope to stay there again sometime soon!

My wife and I decided to take a few days for a relaxing getaway in the mountains. After reading reviews online, we decided to stay with Vicki at The Miners Pick. Vicki did a fantastic job of making us feel very welcome. Our room had all the charms of an old Victorian house but with modern conveniences. If you are looking for a getaway or are just passing through, we highly recommend staying at The Miners Pick. We will visit again and look forward to Vicki's incredible Swedish pancakes, or her banana nut muffins or whatever else she creates.

Have stayed twice now at the Miners Pick and it's everything you could want and more! Comfortably decorated, Vicki's charm is contagious and the deliciousness of her cooking will start off any day on the right foot! Looking forward to my next visit this Winter! Enjoy xx

We arrive late a tuesday evening, so late that the owner was gone to bed. But no problem, a note at the door with the info we needed was on place :-) And with a very tasty breakfast in the morning we left for the next stop. Miners Pick Bed and Breakfast was a very nice experiance for a couple from Norway visting Colorado for the first time :-) Thank you for your hospitality Vicky! Hope to stay another time :-) And thank you for your nice email after we ordered :-)

My husband and I stayed at this lovely bed & breakfast. Vicki is so warm and friendly and her place is just blocks from downtown. We truly enjoyed our stay, and would stay here again. Thank you Vicki for a scrumptious breakfast and a wonderful stay.

My friends and I spent one night on 11/9 and were VERY pleased with the experience. Vicki was attentive, hospitable, and gracious...and she's a FABULOUS cook!! I'm planning my next trip with my husband and can't wait to stay here again. Thank you, Vicki, for helping to make my birthday memorable! Gail C.

My husband and I were pleased with our stay. We arrived 3 hours early before check in and were very tired. The innkeeper said come to on in. We slept a bit and were then able to spend a great day in Idaho Springs. The breakfast crepes were delicious and the garden, house and bedrooms are very charming.

We spent two nights at Miners Pick to celebrate our anniversary. The accommodations were excellent. The B&B was only a few blocks from the downtown area of Idaho Springs so we were able to walk to the shops and restaurants. Vicki is a wonderful cook and hostess. She helped us with restaurant recommendations and gave us a number of recommendations for how to spend our day in the area. We highly recommend Miners Pick and plan to stay there again.

We stayed for two nights in March 2012 and loved every minute. The room was immaculate. The food was exceptional. Vicki was a delight. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay with Vicki so much. She gave us great ideas for activiities and we were even within walking distance to the Historic Downtown with quaint shops and many fine restaurants. Her breakfast was delicious, plentiful, and beautifully presented. We are looking at our calandar to plan our stay for next year.

My wife and I enjoyed spending our weekend here. The breakfast was very good (though maybe a little small in my opinion), and our room was comfortable and clean. Vicki was a personable and hospitable hostess, and overall the Miner's Pick was just what we were looking for: an affordable B&B in the mountains, yet only a 30 minute drive from Denver.
5 on February 27, 2012
Beautiful, clean, quaint, quiet, and peaceful with fantastic hospitality and a 4 star breakfast. The lady who runs it is a doll. makes you feel right at home. Perfect location, close to shops & restaurants. I would highly recommend!

We couldn't have asked for more! Vicki has made her inn like a wonderfully comfortable home. She gave us the perfect blend of making us feel welcome and of giving us privacy.
5 on September 15, 2011
This was our first Bed & Breakfast stay...we will definitely repeat our stay. Vicki made us feel very at home...and breakfast was superb. Yummy whole wheat cinnamon/raisin french toast...fresh local peaches, scrambled eggs and sausage...juice and coffee. We ate every bite! The jacuzzi tub was delightful, and the special handcrafted soap was wonderful. The shopping, all within walking distance from the B&B, was alot of fun too. Be sure to look up Asta Lovely at the local cafe/coffee roastery and pick up some fresh roasted beans! The Soap Shop was another of our favorite shops. Thanks, Vicki!

My husband and I stayed at the Miners Pick for two nights in June of 2011. We have stayed in many B&B's and this is one of the very best. Our room was perfect and our hostess, Vicki, was excellent company and very accommodating. We will go back. Don't miss this one!!!!

Wife, Son and I stayed while attending Central City Opera. Wonderful home, lovely rooms, friendly atmosphere. Vickie makes you feel right at home and the breakfast was filling, tasty, and healthy. We'll be back!

Vicki is a wonderful host. Really enjoyed my stay. Coming back in July 2011 and picked the vacation dates based on the availability of the room. It's just like being a guest in her home.

My wife and I stayed in several B&B's during our 2008 Colorado vacation. The Placer Room at Miner's Pick is where we stayed the first night. Overall, it was the best B&B we booked for our trip and was not the most expensive one either. The hospitality of the hostess was very good and the house was also clean. Their was a cat on the premises, but the cat was practically unnoticed and I tend to be allergic to them (literally). Some people may be concerned that the TV was shared in the upstairs common room, but I don't visit the mountains to watch TV so it wasn't a concern for me. Also, I don't think the house had A/C, but due to the elevation cracking a window provided enough air despite it being early July. Overall, I highly recommend Miner's Pick and would stay again if visiting the area.

We had planed a trip to Pikes Peak and we wanted to leave very early , but Vicki had the most amazing breakfast ready for us at 6:00 o'clock!! We know , we'll be back !

our first experience with a B&B! Tha day after we made our reservation, Vicki contacted us to get personal details that would improve her service to us. When we got there, the house was so warm and cozy...we felt like we were walking into someone's home! Our room was beautiful! Our night was comfortable and peaceful and worth every penny of they very low price we paid!!! Oh and our breakfast...coffee, juice, grilled pears, swedish crepes and sausage was fabulous, cooked to order and served to us at a beautiful dining-room table , in front of a toasty fire, when we were ready to eat!!! We are now believers in the B&B experience!!! Vicki...You Rock!!!

A Spring Snow Storm brought us to the Miner's Pick B & B. Vicki was very helpful and allowed us to check in early to get out of the snow. This is one of the best B & B's I have ever visited. Vicki is a wonderful hostess and the breakfast was fabulous. The rooms are roomy, clean, and very comfortable as well as beautifully decorated. I will stay here again on one of my next travels to Colorado.
5 on March 21, 2010
A spring snowstorm almost kept us from staying at the Miner's Pick. We originally had a reservation for Friday night but the snow kept us from making it. Vicki was so kind, letting us cancel for Friday and reschedule for Saturday instead. When we arrived, we were loved the Quarry room. The bed was so comfortable. The oversized jetted tub was wonderful after a hike at Echo Lake. Breakfast was excellent. We are already planning our next stay at The Miner's Pick.
4.4 on March 19, 2010
Vicki and her cat, whose name escapes me, are very warm hosts. The room was nice and very well kept. The tub was wonderful and breakfast was great. My only regret was we only had one nite to spend in such a nice setting.
5 on January 11, 2010
This was our (wife & I) first time at a B&B and it was outstanding! Vicki was an exceptional host! We arrived late Christmas night and she so helpful getting us into our room and preparing hot tea for us! The next morning her crepes were out of this world...it was the perfect start to a long day of skiing and boarding! I am now hooked on the B&B experience...and it has everything to do with this B&B! The service was outstanding!!
5 on January 06, 2010
Life is too hectic, so I wanted to start 2010 by taking care of myself. What a wonderful stay-2 nights-1 block from dining and shops, hiking in the mountains, short drive to skiing. Best break ever! I should do this more often. Thanks Vicki!
5 on January 02, 2010
This is our second time at the Miners Pick and it sure did not disappoint! The room was as beautiful as ever, complete with antique bath! Vicki was as sweet as ever and treated us to Swedish pancakes and grilled pears for breakfast. Yes, we will be coming back. Thanks, Vicki.

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.
5 on October 03, 2009
We were given a warm welcome by Vicki. She asked if we had a good trip, let us know the options for dinner in the historic downtown area, and made us a delicious breakfast! Everything was clean and decorated beautifully. We even had a claw foot tub in our bathroom!
4.6 on September 22, 2009
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.
5 on August 06, 2009
The Miner's Pick was exactly what we were looking for- a charming bed and breakfast where we felt immediately welcomed. We would stay 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

When my friend booked us a room at the Miners Pick in Idaho Springs, I had mentally prepared myself for a very 'rustic' experience. I was pleasantly surprised to find that our room was very modern & stylish, our jacuzzi was perfect after a long day outside, and the breakfast in the morning was superb! I'd definitely recommend this B & B--the owner, Vicky, is GREAT!!

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.

Spotless and beautifully decorated, our room, the Placer, was well appointed with a real Western flair, and was comfortable and cozy.
