Guest Reviews
“This is such a cozy cabin in the woods and so close to the ski slopes. Perfect! We enjoyed the furnace and we loved the front deck, a great place for morning coffee! Everything was clean and we had plenty of kitchen supplies. We plan to come back this summer to enjoy the beautiful wildflowers and summer activities. Thank you so much for all you did to make it a great memory.”
“We love the feel of this beautiful cabin tucked away in the woods perfectly!”
“The Cabin is a great place to settle in cozy log cabin that has all the comforts of home while you explore the surrounding area. It can accommodate a small to medium sized family or three couples comfortably. We stayed here as our base area and explored SW Colorado and Fly fished in the the local area. The cabin is situated in an area with few homes so there is a lot of privacy and the area is extremely quiet. There is plenty of outdoor seating and even a hot tub! I would definitely stay here again!”
