Clear Creek Retreat - Take a trip to the mountains
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Clear Creek Retreat is a duplex home in the mountains of Colorado, facing Clear Creek and set among pine and aspen trees. The whole house is rented to a single party, with sleeping space for five guests in dedicated beds (up to seven if sharing), making it well suited to groups and extended families. Mountain views surround the property in all directions, and the creek and a nearby lake are within walking distance.
Rooms & Layout
The ground floor has a large living room with a fold-out sofa bed, a fully equipped kitchen and dining area, and two bedrooms with queen beds sharing a bathroom. Upstairs is a separate en-suite unit with its own large living room/bedroom combination, a full bed, a queen bed, a full-size cabinet bed, a TV, a fireplace, and a remodeled bathroom with both a shower and a soaking tub.
Outdoor Space & Amenities
Outside, the home offers a fenced yard with both a front patio and a private, pergola-covered back patio large enough for group gatherings, plus an outdoor kitchen, seating, and a grill. A hot tub is available seasonally, from May 1 to November 1. In-unit amenities include air conditioning, heating, a fireplace, washer, cable TV, and free Wi-Fi, and the property is pet-friendly and smoke-free.
Parking & EV Charging
The property offers ample on-site free parking along with a Level 2 EV charger, a useful feature for guests road-tripping through the Rockies. Note that during summer months the owner may occasionally stay in a separate adjacent apartment while landscaping and garage work is completed, though this does not affect guest use of the rental.
Location & Dining
The retreat sits within walking distance of several Georgetown bus stops, including one just 77 meters away, and is close to a cluster of restaurants and bars such as Cooper's on the Creek, Cabin Creek Brewing, Sasha's at the Alpine, Phở Bay, Scooter's Smokehouse & Grill, and the Historic Happy Cooker Restaurant. Denver International Airport and Centennial Airport are both roughly 74-89 kilometers away for travelers flying in.
Best for
This retreat is best suited to groups, multi-generational families, and pet owners seeking a self-catered mountain getaway, thanks to its two-level layout sleeping up to seven, fully equipped kitchen, and pet-friendly policy. It also appeals to travelers who want outdoor living space, with its fenced yard, dual patios, outdoor grill, and seasonal hot tub for socializing after a day exploring Clear Creek and nearby trails.
Travel tips
Guests without a car can still get around, as several bus stations are within an easy walk, including one just 77 meters from the property. Note that the hot tub is only filled and operational from May 1 through November 1, so travelers planning a winter soak should confirm availability beforehand. The lake is a short walk away rather than immediately adjacent, so pack accordingly if that's a priority for your stay.
What guests say
Guests generally rate their stays very highly, with the overall property earning strong marks across hundreds of reviews. Positive impressions often center on the comfortable, well-equipped house and its appealing mountain and creek setting. However, some recurring criticism involves a mismatch between listing details and reality, particularly around the hot tub being unexpectedly unavailable due to seasonal winterization, the property being a duplex rather than a fully standalone cabin, and the lake being a walk away rather than directly in the backyard as some guests expected.
