Thank you so much for the great review. It truly means a lot when we get a response on the cabin and that the guests were satisfied and happy with their stay.
The perfect stay for our time in Colorado. The cabin was perfectly clean, cozy, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the mornings and evenings. The owners were very kind and we enjoyed talking with them. Very convenient to have a washer and drier and full kitchen. Simply cannot say enough good things about this cabin!

Great host, very nice and clean cabin nestled in the mountains but yet very convenient to shopping pikes peak, garden of the gods, royal gorge and cripple creek.
The cabin was very well stocked with everything we needed it was clean and comfortable. The location was great with lots of parks and trails to explore nearby. Also just a short drive to Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs. Bev was a great host.

I am so glad stay met all your needs. Thank you for the wonderful rating. It means a lot to us to please our guests and ratings are one way to see that we do.
The location was just a little bit out of town, which was perfect for us. We got cabin living in the mountains while still being 15 minutes from town. The cabin was absolutely perfect, quaint and fully stocked with everything you could need to cook a meal sans the food. Bev is a great host and was very accommodating. We saw deer everywhere and even some turkey! 10/10 will absolutely book the cabin again

Thank you for your excellent rating. We do appreciate it so much . We strive to make our guest happy and comfortable during their stay at our cabin. We do a happy dance when we see that you enjoyed your stay.
This was a lovely and relaxing "home" base. We were able to go out hiking and adventuring and come back to a restful place. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook the meals we wanted, and the coffee area was well stocked. The hosts were helpful and more than kind. Highly recommend.

We loved the cabin! Bev was a wonderful hostess and there wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t provided. She even had homemade goodies waiting for us! If we’re ever back in Colorado Springs, we’d love to stay here again!

Thank you so much for the glowing review. I appreciate it so much and thank YOU for choosing our cabin.
This is an excellent place to pick for your Colorado Springs trip if you love a clean, beautiful, silent environment to live. Loved the stay and will come back.
Dreamy. The Christmas decor was like a Hallmark film and space warm and cozy. The kitchen was stocked fully and we cooked almost every meal for our family of 4. When we arrived the pull out sofa was made up like a luxury bed and the living space was perfect for a week’s stay. Shower was also perfect, hot and spacious. We are from south Texas and the cold can be jolting. However, the master king had electric mattress pads. Crawling into bed each day was such a treat. Location was also perfect: close to everything and still nestled in the side of the mountain among the critters. We travel and this was my favorite place we’ve ever stayed. Our hostess Bev was kind, available and the best!

About the host
Hosted by Bev Vidmar
We have lived most of our lives in Colorado with the exception of my husband Dave who was born here. We love this state because we are very active people and have found there is never a lack of things to do and the weather in Colorado is very desirable. Outdoorsy people, we love hiking, biking, hunting, horseback riding-you name it we love to do it!
