Cabin at Sportsman’s Paradise – Angler’s Dream & Mountain Retreat

Welcome to the Cabin at Sportsman’s Paradise, a warm and inviting 3-bedroom log retreat in Lake George. Set against Colorado’s rugged wilderness, this cabin is both an angler’s dream and a family-friendly mountain escape. Whether you’re here to chase trout, unwind on the deck, or make lifelong memories with loved ones, this cabin is the perfect basecamp.



🎣 Fish the Waters Anglers Dream About

From world-renowned rivers to high-mountain lakes, the area surrounding the Cabin at Sportsman’s Paradise offers some of Colorado’s most iconic fisheries:
• The Dream Stream (South Platte between Spinney & Eleven Mile Reservoirs) – Legendary for trophy-sized browns, rainbows, and cutthroats.
• Eleven Mile Canyon – Stunning granite cliffs, crystal-clear tailwater, and epic hatches all year long.
• Tarryall River – Scenic and approachable, ideal for both beginners and seasoned fly fishers.
• Spinney Mountain Reservoir – A nationally known trophy trout lake with monster rainbows and cutbows.
• Eleven Mile Reservoir – Big water producing big fish, including trout and kokanee salmon.
• Antero Reservoir – Shallow, nutrient-rich, and famous for fat, hard-fighting rainbows.
• Tarryall Reservoir – A peaceful canyon setting with a mix of trout species and laid-back charm.

While private fishing within the Sportsman’s Paradise gates isn’t included, you’re just minutes from these world-class waters, making this cabin a true angler’s paradise.

• Dining table for meals, game nights & storytelling
• Three welcoming bedrooms with fresh linens
• Bathroom with towels, upgraded amenities & hair dryer

Step out onto the deck and you’ll discover another highlight: peaceful mountain views and visiting wildlife right in your backyard. Watch deer, elk, and wild turkeys wander past as you sip your morning coffee or gather for an evening under the stars. It’s the perfect setting for relaxation and making unforgettable family memories.



🌲 Adventure Beyond Fishing

The cabin’s location offers much more than fishing:
• Private ATV access into Pike–San Isabel National Forest
• Horseback riding & ATV tours
• Hiking, wildlife watching & rock hounding
• Family-friendly attractions: Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak Railway, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and Santa’s Workshop at the North Pole

Everything about the cabin is superb. We lacked nothing for cooking and comfort. The area is wonderful. If you are looking for a quiet place to rest and watch the humming birds and chipmunks this is perfect!

The cabin is as described and worked great as a base camp for our fishing trip. Within 15 minutes of the dream stream and 11 mile. We also fished Wildcat canyon and caught a couple.

Amazing Quiet Vacation

This was one of the most amazing, quiet, relaxing vacations I've ever had. I really needed to unplug and get away from it all, and this place was magical. The hosts were incredibly kind and generous in answering my questions. The cabin was even nicer than what shows in the pics. The beds were super comfortable and there were soft warm throws to snuggle up in. I can't wait to come back with my husband!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed at this cabin and we have enjoyed it every time! The cabin is in a great location for fishing/hiking. You have happy meadows fishing in one direction and wildcat canyon the other direction. Melissa responds quickly and is very helpful if you have any questions. We will definitely be staying at this cabin every year!

my new happy place

This little cabin is tricked out with all the amenities one could ever need, plus great access to the surrounding mountains, reservoirs and national parks. We loved it. The only draw back is that you can't actually see or hear the river from the cabin.

Owner was very helpful

We had a great experience but we were initially under the impression that the cabin was on the river where we could fish. We found out at the last minute that the gated community didn’t allow guests to fish there.

Fishing trip

Friend and I stayed at the house for a fishing trip. The house fit our needs with each of us having a bedroom and there was a nice bathroom. There’s a two bedroom loft with a wooden ladder to get up to that we did not use. The house was very comfortable with two really comfy recliners in front of the TV for relaxing evenings.

Nice and peaceful setting

Nicely appointed cabin with peaceful if not remote setting. A bit of a run to get items in town and navigating a night a bit tricky, and finding the trash dump a bit of a ride. (Community should add some signage to assist) so make sure you stock up to save trips and have GPS access. All in all it was very nice place,but would definitely recommend some better lighting (track lighting) in kitchen and dining area.

Cozy Cabin

This was our 2nd stay. This cabin is cozy & quaint. Has everything you need. Melissa is always available for anything you may need. We spent some great time at Eleven Mile Canyon ($10 entry fee) but worth it. We caught lots of trout. There were kayaks enjoying the canyon. Rock climbers. Tons of tubing. "The great outdoors". We will return. Thanks Melissa for an enjoyable getaway.

Relaxing mountain stay

This property is in a gated sportsman community. The location is great, 45 min from Manitou Springs. There is a lot to see and do right around the cabin. There is hiking and fishing in the national forest, which is just a few minutes away. Hiking in the Wild Cat Canyon was great, especially the river with waterfalls. The cabin is fully renovated and is very well equipped. I would recommend going to the cabin before shopping. A lot of the basics will likely be there. All the furniture is comfortable and the bathroom is beautiful. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who is looking for a place to escape the hustle of everyday life and just relax.

About the host

Hosted by Adam & Melissa Szychowski

Host profile image
As a Colorado native, I’ve spent a lifetime exploring this incredible state—and I can honestly say that Lake George is one of its best-kept secrets. When we discovered this cozy log cabin tucked near the South Platte River and surrounded by National Forest, we instantly knew it was something truly special.

We love hosting this retreat because it allows us to share that same magic with others. Whether you’re here to cast a line in Gold Medal waters, hike endless trails, take in mountain views, or simply relax on the deck and watch the wildlife wander by, we hope you feel the same peace and joy this cabin has brought to our own family.

Welcome to your home away from home—we’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait for you to make unforgettable memories at the Cabin at Sportsman’s Paradise.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property because of its unbeatable setting—just minutes from the South Platte River and backing directly to both Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest. It’s a true outdoor lover’s paradise, with world-class fishing, endless hiking trails, ATV adventures, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking mountain scenery right at your doorstep.

But beyond the adventure, what makes this spot so special is the sense of peace and connection it brings. It’s the kind of place where families gather on the deck to watch deer wander by, where laughter carries through game nights inside, and where unforgettable memories are made. For us, it’s the perfect blend of outdoor excitement and mountain serenity—and we’re grateful to be able to share it with others.

What makes this property unique

One of the things that sets our cabin apart is that you’ll deal directly with us—the owners—for all booking inquiries and communication. That means fast, personal responses, tailored recommendations, and support every step of the way—no middleman, no property management company.

Beyond direct communication, our cabin offers a special combination of comforts and experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Whether it’s relaxing on the deck as wildlife passes by, gathering with family around the fireplace, or exploring world-class fishing, hiking, and ATV trails just minutes away, we strive to make every stay smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. We’re here to ensure your visit is exactly what you hope for—and more.

This cabin is also a perfect fit for outdoor enthusiasts looking to fish, hike, explore, or simply relax and take in the beautiful scenery. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a trip with close friends, you’ll find comfort, convenience, and adventure all in one unforgettable place.
