Bellas Mountain Vacation Cleaning
I care for residential mountain homes and vacation rentals across Black Hawk, Nederland, and Evergreen. As a family-operated business since 2016, I bring three generations of local expertise to every home I work in.
What Customers Say
Fall shows up fast in the high country.
The aspens turn, the rentals fill with leaf-season guests, and the wood stoves come back on between the first frost and the first heavy snow.
I know this time of year by what it leaves behind. Fine ash from the wood stove, and I wet-lock it. Mud from the trailheads, and boot racks that collect everything. The wind off Barker Reservoir settles dust into corners you don't think to check. I know where it collects, and I find it.
For rentals, the stretch between summer and snow season is the busiest of the year, guests in and out without a break between visitors. I clean, restock, and reset so the next guest walks into what looks like the photos. Getting the cabin ready for the snow months, or the rental ready for what's next?
Now is the time to book.
I’m Sandra Rose, the owner and operator. Since 2016, I’ve cleaned mountain homes, short-term rental and family houses across Gilpin and Boulder counties.
How I take care of your home
I handle weekly upkeep, move-in and move-out deep cleans, and single-visit deep cleans. I also do short-term rental turnovers with staging and restocking. I strip beds. I remake them. I restock bathroom supplies and soap if you leave it out. I organize pantries and closets. I handle laundry.
I help new parents with organizing, baby clothes sorting, dishes, and trash. I remind you to drink water. I don’t run errands. I don’t do grocery shopping. I don’t prepare meals.
For vacation rental owners I also offer co-hosting, things like guest communication, calendar and cleaner scheduling, listing upkeep, and emergency response, and I do this at 10-20% of booking revenue depending on scope. I clean. That’s the core.
What Makes Me Different
Bellas Mountain Vacation Cleaning is the company I started in 2022 to serve families and owners in the Gilpin County mountain corridor. Before that, I ran a small home-service route from 2016 to 2018. Same operator. Same three-generation standard. You might think I am like any other service. Nope. I show up. I scope the job. I send before-and-after shots. I don’t leave until I approve the work.
I answer the phone. I show up. There is no crew of strangers. There is no checklist some AI wrote that I follow blindly. I’ve been driving the Black Hawk-to-Evergreen since 2016. I know which houses have well water. I know which have septic. I know the smoke and ash protocol after fire season. See how we serve Black Hawk and Nederland properties.
You can’t train that in a weekend seminar. My grandmother cleaned houses. My mother cleaned houses. I clean houses. That’s three generations of knowing what clean actually looks like. My reviewers tell me they notice my thoroughness and attention to detail. I leave homes spotless. Most all of my reviews are 5 stars.
Barb from the Nederland Newspaper interviewed me as part of a podcast when I opened. [Listen to the interview here]. I don’t advertise much. The work is enough. Canyon wind does the rest.
Areas I Serve
I clean in Black Hawk, Nederland, Coal Creek Canyon, Central City, Idaho Springs, Evergreen, Rollinsville, Eldora, Golden Gate area, and Golden.
I’ve been driving this corridor since 2016. I know which Nederland driveways ice over in November. I know which Canyon roads turn to mud in April. I know the dust that blows through Coal Creek Canyon in February.
Altitude grime is a real thing up here. Road dust and snow grit build up in ways that flatland crews don’t see. I see it. I clean it. Same route. Same hands.
Our neighbor the bull moose. One of our regular visitors in Dory Lakes, Black Hawk.
The products I bring
Castile soap. Alcohol. Essential oils.
I start with those base ingredients.
Then I blend them differently depending on what I’m servicing.
Granite doesn’t get what glass gets.
Road dust on a mountain window needs a different ratio than a kitchen counter.
I use Norwex microfiber cloths on granite and glass. No lint. No streaks. No magic. If you want the same cloths, I can tell you where I get them.

What to expect
I scope every job myself. No automated calculator. No upselling. The price reflects the actual work.
I stay late when the job needs it. I don’t leave until it’s done right.
Every home gets the same careful treatment. That holds whether I’m deep-servicing a family kitchen or staging a short-term for the next guest.
I don’t cut corners. I don’t rush. I don’t call a job finished until I would walk into it barefoot.
How I charge
I don’t charge by the hour. I charge by the job.
A kitchen in Nederland with altitude grime takes longer than the same kitchen in Evergreen.
A guest turnover in Coal Creek Canyon with staging and restocking takes more steps than a standard turnover.
If I charged by the hour, I’d be penalized for doing it right. You’d be penalized for living where the dust blows harder.
I look at the house, the drive, the season, and the scope.
Then I give you a flat number. That’s what you pay. No clock-watching. No surprise add-ons.
Starting points
These are not quotes. Every house is different. But this is what I see most often:
Recurring cleaning, deep cleaning, move-in/move-out
Standard upkeep: starting around $150-
Deep cleans or move-in/move-outs: starting around $250-
Larger mountain home service or service with heavy buildup: scoped individually
Vacation rental turnover
Studio or 1-bedroom: starting around $100
2-bedroom: starting around $165
3-bedroom or larger: starting around $200
Staging and restocking: added to base price, scoped by what you need
Home concierge and Mother’s Helper support
Pantry organization, closet resets, laundry, nursery sorting: scoped as a flat job, not hourly
What affects the price
Square footage — obviously
Drive time — Some places take longer to get to
Season — post-fire ash protocol, winter road dust, spring mud
Frequency — weekly clients get priority and better rates
Staging complexity — restocking a full pantry costs more than replacing toilet paper and soap
