About this property

Miles from anything, in the middle of everything

This rustic mountain getaway in beautiful Florissant Colorado is just minutes away from so many things, from the history and hiking of Florissant Fossil beds National Monument to the excitement of the Cripple Creek Casinos. Nearby you will also find the recreational areas of Pikes Peak and all of the attractions of Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs. A short drive south (37miles) will find you at the magnificent Royal Gorge Bridge and the heart pounding thrills of white water rafting the Arkansas River. Our 2500 sq ft log home has a dazzling view of Pikes Peak from the living room or the spacious deck. The 3 bedroom home with the bonus sleeping arrangements downstairs easily sleeps 8 adults (a Pack and Play baby crib is also in the home). A 2020 remodel brought luxury and convivence to the home with updated bathrooms and all new kitchen appliances. The kitchen/dining area will comfortably seat your entire family and then some. In 2021 An automatic whole house emergency back up generator was added for guests security and peace of mind. In 2025 we are excited to share our new remodeled and replaced outside deck. This over 600 square foot elevated outdoor space is a popular hangout with its breathtaking view of Pikes Peak. Local wildlife that almost daily visit the property is a guest favorite.

Clean cabin with good views from the back windows. The rooms were well kept and everything worked as expected. Zero issues checking in or checking out. The host was very open with communication and making sure the house was ready for our specific party if we needed special accommodations.

Beautiful views in a home big enough for a large family. The cabin feel, large property and huge deck add to the greatness of the home. We saw plenty of wildlife including a doe and her fawn. Andy is an amazing host and was quick to respond during our stay. We would love to come back.

Marvelous Matterhorn Meadows

In all reality, Matterhorn Meadows is what you would expect from a high quality VRBO in the mountains; the host, the property, the views, the location, the wildlife, the abundance of attractions within an hours drive were all phenomenal! If you are looking to stay in this area, this is the place for you!

Perfect Place to Vacation!

The cabin was EXCELLENT !! Clean, well stocked, amazing view, lots of wildlife( deer every day at cabin plus stellar jays and Abert black squirrels). The location is great, beautiful every direction you go for the day. Florissant fossils beds just down the road, good hiking. Plenty of games to play at night but I just loved the deck and view! The owner is prompt in communication and very helpful. If you are planning on traveling to this area, this IS the cabin to stay in!

Incredible host, incredible stay

We have stayed in the area the past few years but this was our first time dealing with the snow. We drove in during a blizzard and by the time we were situated we had at least a foot on the ground with no way of getting back out. The host was in contact throughout our check in and sent a caretaker when we accidentally locked ourselves out of the bathroom and another a day later, after the snow stopped, to plow us out. The house itself was perfect for our stay and was stocked with any amenity you might need. One reason we chose the property was because we were traveling with our one year old son. The cabin had multiple pack and play cribs as well as a baby seat for meals so we didn’t need to bring our own. What could have been an incredibly stressful and exhausting trip turned into quite the opposite due to the preparation and communication of the host! Great stay, will definitely be looking to stay again!

Absolutely Amazing Cabin and Amazing Host. 10/10.

Our stay was spectacular!! My Wife and I stayed for 9 nights. We loved everything about the Cabin, the area we stayed and our host, Andy. The Cabin: Beautiful view of Pikes Peak (I think it is better than the photo even shows), Perfectly stocked with so many kitchen supplies, towels, and wood for the fireplace. 3 stories tall and very homey. The walk in shower downstairs is amazing, and we loved the kitchen. It's also well kept and very updated. Hands down 10/10. Highly recommend places nearby that My Wife & I traveled: Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Breckenridge, and Eleven Mile Canyon Road. In Woodland Park: Righteous Grounds Coffee shop, Java Haus, The Donut Mill, Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant, and a little outside Woodland Park: The Pantry. A nice trail to hike: Rainbow Gultch Trailhead. Also, a spectacular well hidden coffee shop close to the Cabin, my Wife & I found and maybe the best coffee nearby is: Wild Horses Cafe. The Host: Andy was amazing! He left my Wife & I, flowers, wine, and chocolate. He also asked me to call before our trip and told me about some really cool local places to check out and other logistics concerning places to get groceries, gas, restaurants, etc. He called to check and texted us just making sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for everything Andy! You helped make our Honeymoon perfect. We hope you have many more people try your amazing Cabin. God bless. -Wes

Cozy

Andy was very communicative and ensured we had everything we needed to get our stay off on the right foot and was more than accommodating when we needed additional help during our stay. Kudos to him for his personal touch. Our first impression of the house was not particularly favorable. When pulling up to the house, we were greeted by a number of "keep out" signs along the neighbor's fence line. The grounds immediately around the house have not been maintained. The driveway gravel is overgrown with grass, The grass is thigh high on a 5'7" adult and blocked the use of the lower porch swing. The wrap around deck is in need of repair (loose boards, soft boards, etc.) and the outside furniture finish has worn off which will stick to any knit clothing if you sit on the furniture. The inside of the home is very quaint and cozy. Very comfortable. I don't think the listing stated that there was no air conditioning, but we sure could've used it during our stay. 90+ degrees the first 2 days and 85+ in the house with the windows open. It took well until after 7 PM for the inside to cool back down to a comfortable temp for our liking. I don't mean to be overly critical, but the tall grass and deck conditions kept us from enjoying the outside, so this property just didn't meet our expectations.

Hidden Gem with Exceptional Hospitality

We had an unforgettable stay at this beautiful property and can't recommend it highly enough! From the moment we booked, the host's communication was top-notch—prompt, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to provide us with detailed recommendations for local activities, dining spots, and hidden gems, which made planning our trip effortless and exciting.The property itself is a dream—tucked away in a secluded, peaceful location that feels like your own private retreat. It's the perfect place to unwind, far from crowds and noise, with nothing but nature and tranquility all around.Inside, the space is impressively generous. Every room feels spacious and thoughtfully laid out, making it ideal for both quiet relaxation and group gatherings. We never felt cramped, even with a full group.One of the absolute highlights was the kitchen. It’s incredibly well-stocked—far beyond the basics you usually find in a vacation rental. There was a full range of appliances (including multiple coffee makers, crockpots, and just about anything you would need!), and every utensil or piece of cookware we could possibly need. Whether you're whipping up a quick breakfast or preparing a full family dinner, this kitchen has you covered.This place offers the perfect mix of comfort, seclusion, and hospitality. If you're looking for a serene escape with hosts who truly care about your experience, look no further. We’re already planning our return!

beautiful cabin, clean, amazing!

Amazing property. I have never rented a property where there is not one thing I can think of to improve the property or experience. Until now. The manager/owner was so helpful. He gave us great recommendations on things to do in the area. The house was impecable upon arrival, check in was easy, the location was fabulous and the views were incredible. We bought groceries to cook dinners for the week and expected to need to pick up little things but they had every cooking dish, pan, seasoning, etc that we needed. The three bedrooms were so spacious, and the bonus room downstairs was perfect for the kids. The bathrooms were also perfectly stocked. We stayed with family & friends and still were able to have our own space. Wildlife was great as well. The easiest and best experience we’ve had. Highly recommend and will definitely be returning!

Colorado Springs Family Vacation

Staying at this beautiful cabin was amazing. Our entire family loved hanging out or coming home to this peaceful cabin. There were deer, turkeys, squirrels, and chipmunks seen daily. The home was stocked with everything you could possibly need - from the kitchen, laundry room, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Andy, the host, was quick to respond to any questions we had before, during, and after the stay. When we return to Colorado Springs, we will, without a doubt, stay here.

Definite WOW factor!!

This property is located in a beautiful area, full of pine trees, with deer, squirrels, and plenty of birds that visit daily. The house felt more like a home away from home, rather than just a place to stay. It is fully stocked with everything you need for a week long vacation like we took. You only need to bring food to feed your family, everything else is provided, including pots and pans, plenty of dishes, shampoo and conditioners, towels, washer and dryer, board games, binoculars and even a telescope. Pikes Peak is visible from inside the house and the deck! The owner even provided bird food. I will definitely stay here again on our next Colorado vacation!!

Oh my snow!

House was great and had pretty much everything we needed for our stay. Coming to Colorado I had the expectation of snow but wasn’t prepared for three feet on our first night! Communication was great with the Moores and they did their best to get us squared away before and during our trip. Unfortunately the snow impacted our plans but we are already talking about coming back in the summer for a redo and hope the property is available. If you’re looking to book this place you can’t go wrong.

Everything we hoped for and more

This location had all we needed including quality supplies, beautiful surroundings, great location for our adventures, plenty of space for gathering or relaxing on your own. Communication from the owners was excellent. We were gifted with a visit from Natasha, the deer who came right up to us when we were outside. We enjoyed the deck for relaxing below Pike's Peak and observing an incredible night sky. Exceptional vacation location with excellent amenities.

Wonderful vacation

Our stay in Florissant was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had. Andy Moore was a wonderful host -- he communicated with us several times to be sure we had everything we needed. His home was super clean and had all the items needed for our stay. It was close to grocery stores and interesting tourist attractions that our son and grandson enjoyed. We wish we could have stayed longer. The place was just as beautiful the pictures on the website. You will be very happy if you choose to stay at Andy's home.

Great for Families

We loved the property from the moment we pulled up. Set away from the road and very quiet with a few neighbors that weren’t too close. The house was very spacious with plenty of room and bathrooms for everyone. Very well stocked with everything you think you might need. Andy was super easy to communicate with and answered any questions we had. Easy enough to get to Colorado Springs for the day and get back to relax.
