Wonderful Stay with a Stunning View

Perfect location. The cabin is tucked away where you feel you are in a secluded area of the mountain. The view from the cabin is absolutely stunning. The hosts were responsive and accommodating. The check in and checkout process was one of the easiest we’ve experienced. We’ve already recommended this cabin to our close family and friends.

Incredibly Beautiful and Serene

The cabin is gorgeous and the view was a dream. The location is secluded yet many wonderful attractions are within easy reach, and it's close to Buena Vista and Salida for shopping and other conveniences. Everything was neat and clean and our stay was most enjoyable.

Amazing

This place is awesome. Just what I was looking for in a getaway. Away and secluded but only 12 minutes from town. The view from the front windows is absolutely gorgeous. The whole process of renting was easy as well. From booking to communicating with the property manager. A very nice experience.

Just what we were looking for

We loved our stay at the Nathrop Cabin, that view was beautiful!! Plenty of room for a family of four, kitchen fully equipped for b-fast/dinner making. Only thing i suggest is pack a sleeping mask that view is gorgeous but if your planning on sleeping in no way of blocking out that 7am sunrise! Overall loved it! No wifi but had decent service.

Sister's Retreat

The bed I got was hard and squeeky, but not enough of a problem to tank a rating. The clean towels had some one else's hair wrapped up in them. Pretty gross but I just shook out the rest of them before using. We were a little bummed that the hot springs advertiezwd near us were essentially pupblic pools. But again, not enough to still not enjoy ourselves. Loved the house, loved the view loved the experience with my sisters. Thank you for hosting us!

First I’d like thank them for their kindness and swift responses to my messages. My wife is pregnant and was not doing well the first day we checked in, however we couldn’t check in until 4. They let us check in way before check in time so she could rest after a very bad morning of morning sickness. I can’t say thank you enough for caring for someone you don’t even know. The cabin was very comfortable, had everything we needed from towels to pots and pans to cook, blankets, WiFi etc… the view from the living room Is better in person than the pics they have posted online. We saw many mule deer who enjoyed coming around the cabin in the morning. It’s extremely dark around the cabin so star gazing is a must! So many shooting stars. It’s very peaceful & quiet but only 10-15 minutes from the nearest town which has everything you could need ( gas, food, stores, laundromat , coffee shops ). We greatly enjoyed our time here and are already talking about coming back next year with more family members and friends! This cabin is close to many things… white water rafting, atv tours, hot springs, fly fishing , and more. You’d be wise to book this cabin over others in the area!

This is the perfect private getaway in Colorado. It's located exactly between all of the locations we enjoy going to. It's a quick trip to the Cascades, St. Elmo, Buena Vista, and Salida. It has the most beautiful view of the mountains. It genuinely felt like we were all alone. We also love sitting on the deck to look at the stars at night. The kitchen is very well stocked as well for nights in.

Amazing 4 night stay with that VIEW! Host made check-in extremely easy and thoughtfully messaged to confirm our stay was going good. Kitchen is well stocked, beds were comfortable, and house was immaculately clean. Downstairs bedroom has the 2 twin beds and shared bathroom & upstairs is the open loft with 2 queen beds and its own bathroom. Definitely would stay here again.

Amazing view!

Splendid Isolation is the perfect descriptor for this property! The house has a great view of the chalk cliffs of Mt. Princeton, and downtown BV is only 20 minutes away! The house is well-maintained and very comfortable. Check-in and check-out could not be easier. The large windows provide a stunning view, but they also mean that it can get warm on sunny days. However, fans are available. The only two things we would change are to put one of the queen beds in the lower BR and make the vanity in the upper bathroom narrower to make it easier to get in the shower.

Incredible View

This property has the most incredible view. I could sit on the deck all day long and just look at the mountains. It is the biggest plus to this property. This property had 2 twin beds that were hard as rocks. I had read about it in other reviews, but wasn't convinced until I actually tried sleeping on them. I slept on one and then the other hoping for comfort. If you like extra firm this is the bed for you. Thankfully the upstairs loft has 2 more beds that were much more comfortable. This place met all our needs and we would stay there again.

Gorgeous, Clean Cabin

The cabin was beautiful and the views were breathtaking. Very clean and spacious with everything we needed. There is no washer and dryer though but thankfully we brought enough clothes and there were plenty of towels that we didn’t need it. Perfect location in the mountains with easy access to Buena Vista and short drive to Salida. Would definitely stay here again!
