Welcome to 838 Silver Creek Road, a peaceful mountain cabin in the Saint Mary’s Glacier area of Idaho Springs, Colorado. This is a place where quiet mornings, fresh mountain air, & wide-open views are part of everyday life—without feeling far from town or the city.
Outdoor adventure begins just beyond your door. Nearby hiking trails, alpine lakes, snowshoe & ATV routes, and forest roads invite year-round exploration. The popular St. Mary’s Glacier hike offers dramatic views & a glacier-fed lake, while the surrounding backcountry provides endless space to roam. Cyclists will love the area’s world-class bike trails, from scenic road rides to challenging mountain routes that draw riders from across Colorado.
Residents have the option to join the Saint Mary’s Glacier voluntary POA, which provides access to two private, trout-stocked lakes—perfect for quiet afternoons by the water, fishing, or enjoying the mountain setting.
The Clear Creek corridor and gondola project add to the long-term appeal of this growing mountain destination. When winter arrives, Loveland Ski Area is just 30 minutes away, making it easy to enjoy powder days without the long drive.
Life here moves at a different pace. Mornings start with quietness and the sounds of nature instead of traffic. Neighbors wave as they pass, evenings are spent watching the light change across the peaks, and days feel grounded & unhurried. This is a place where people come to stay—drawn by calm, privacy, & a true sense of community.
When you’re ready for town, downtown Idaho Springs is a short drive away with local restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, and the famous hot springs. I-70 is easily accessible, connecting you to Golden, Denver, and the Front Range, and Denver International Airport is within reach for easy travel.
If you’re searching for a Colorado mountain home, an Idaho Springs cabin, or a Saint Mary’s Glacier property, living here delivers a lifestyle that feels both peaceful & connected.
