Eldora Ski Resort

Although it’s smaller than some other popular resorts, locals refer to Eldora as a “hidden gem.” It offers a wide variety of trails for beginners, intermediate skiers, and advanced skiers and snowboarders. While you’re there, keep an eye out for future superstars, as Eldora’s Jr. Race Program has been known to churn out more than a few champions. Eldora also offers a host of other activities, such as alpine and cross-country skiing, snowboarding trails, snowshoeing, and tubing.

Fishing

There are so many beautiful places to fish in Gilpin County, including lakes, creeks, and rivers, many of which are conveniently accessed by hiking trails. The Barker Meadow Reservoir is a popular fishing spot that’s stocked with a variety of fish, including trout, muskie, and salmon.

Limited-Stakes Gambling

Limited-stakes gambling, or gambling limited to a $100 wager, is one of the highlights of both Black Hawk and Central City in Gilpin County. At the many popular casinos, you can find slots, table games, poker, and other forms of classic gambling. Most of the proceeds go to the Colorado State Historical Fund for Historic Preservation.

Indian Hot Springs

Nestled in the picturesque town of Idaho Springs, Indian Hot Springs offers a rejuvenating escape. Known for its natural geothermal pools and mineral caves, this historic destination provides a soothing and therapeutic experience in its mineral-rich waters. The hot springs are open to the public year-round.

Golden Gate Canyon State Park

This beautiful state park offers 36 miles of hiking and biking trails across its 12,000 acres. The park also offers various camping areas, including backcountry campsites, as well as hunting and fishing opportunities. Be aware you must have a reservation for both hunting and backcountry campsites, and a valid fishing license for fishing.

Property Damage Waiver

Enjoy peace-of-mind with our incidental damage protection.

SkyRun includes a property damage protection waiver on each reservation. The damage waiver covers damage to the property up to $1,500 so long as the damage is accidental and reported to SkyRun prior to your departure. It does not cover damage that is willful, the result of negligence, or damaged caused by the misuse of household items. It also doesn’t cover unreported damage. SkyRun doesn’t charge our guests a refundable damage deposit in lieu of the waiver. Unlike a refundable damage deposit, the damage protection waiver is nonrefundable.

If during your rental of our property, you damage the real or personal property assigned to that property, SkyRun will cover the cost of repairs or the cost to replace the property up to an amount not to exceed $1,500. Should the cost of the damage exceed $1,500 or does not meet the criteria for a “covered loss”, and the property owner’s insurance policy also does not cover the loss, then you shall be responsible for the full amount of the damage which will be charged to the credit card on file. Coverage is provided to you and all travelling companions that are staying in the home overnight during your stay.

Coverage is not provided for loss due to:

  • Your intentional acts or gross negligence.
  • Any damage that occurs if you are in violation of the terms and conditions (including but not limited to having more than maximum occupancy or having a party).
  • Loss, theft or damage to any personal effects owned by you or brought on the covered stay by you.
  • Loss, theft or damage caused by any person other than you or your traveling companions with whom you share the property reservation unless substantiated by a police report.

Your Duties in the Event of Damage. You must:

  • Take all reasonable, necessary steps to protect the property and prevent further damage to it.
  • Report the loss in writing (email ok) prior to check-out to the SkyRun staff.
  • Provide us documentation such as pictures to substantiate the claim.

SkyRun’s staff has always treated my properties as if they were their own, and that’s such a comforting feeling. I’m very happy with the income stream generated through SkyRun’s property management!

KarenWondervu, CO

With SkyRun, we immediately felt respected as homeowners. We’ve owned in Ridgepoint for over 25 years. This is not our first rodeo, but it is our best one.

Ken & DianaBeaver Creek, CO

Over the years, we have had about a half dozen other management companies. Since working with SkyRun, we have had more rentals in two years than the other management companies combined over 10 years. They are great to work with!

Gilpin County Frequently Asked Questions

SkyRun provides photos, maps, amenity details and reviews about the property you will be renting. Our staff has first-hand knowledge of each property, so don't hesitate to call us if you have any questions.

You can rent any of our properties by booking directly on this website using a credit card or you can call to book a reservation if you would like to speak with a vacation planner.  When you book, 1/3 of your total reservation cost, or a minimum of $300, is charged as a non-refundable deposit to secure your rental. Thirty days before your arrival, the remaining amount is due. At this time, the credit card we have on file will be automatically charged for the balance. You may cancel for a full, no-questions-asked refund up to 14 days before your arrival. After that, your payment becomes non-refundable. (See travel insurance above for exceptions).

We provide everything you expect from a fine hotel, and then some. Our rentals come fully furnished, including TVs, high-speed internet, linens and towels, a microwave, dishes, pots, pans, and other kitchen essentials.  We provide supplies such as shampoo, conditioner, tissues, paper towels, dishwasher detergent, soaps, trash bags, etc.  Refer to individual listings to see more amenity information, and please contact us directly if you still have questions.

When you book directly with SkyRun you avoid paying service fees you might incur with traditional listing channels, such as Airbnb. Our prices are competitive with rent-from-owner rates, but we offer professional service, optional travel insurance, and immediate on-site assistance should the need arise.  In addition, we offer exclusive discounts from local businesses, available only to SkyRun guests.

For most properties, SkyRun utilizes a convenient keypad lock system which allows you to enter your vacation rental using a personalized access code, as opposed to having to pick up a key and worrying about keeping track of it during your stay and returning it afterwards. This also saves you the trouble of coming to a check-in center beforehand. Your welcome packet will be in your rental upon arrival, and our staff is always only a phone call away if questions arise.

Travel insurance is an optional addition to your total rental charges. It is offered on our reservation form at the time of booking. It is also usually offered at the time of booking when you book with a 3rd party booking site. You may also add travel insurance to your reservation within 48 hours of booking. The cost of travel insurance varies and is usually between 7%-9.5% of your total reservation cost, depending on the coverage type.  If you do not have travel insurance, you cannot cancel your reservation for any reason.  If you have travel insurance and need to cancel or make a claim, refer to your specific policy.
