THE SECLUDED RETREAT VIBE
Total privacy and tranquility. We are deep enough in the woods that the only "noise" you’ll hear is the wind in the pines. Moose, deer, turkeys, and the occasional black bear are our regular neighborhood visitors!

This adorable little cabin had everything we were hoping for and more! Comfy beds, plush towels, every little accommodation and an abundance of toiletries stocked! We loved the private tucked back location, while also being so close to all the amazing sites the area has to offer. Awesome communication, directions, smooth check-in and out. Overall 20/10 vacation for our family of 5 plus our small dog. Would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Majestic location. The hosts have stocked everything you need for kitchen and bath supplies, paper products and more.

Stay was wonderful. One of the best properties and great communication from host. We enjoyed our stay so much thanks to the amazing property. Was beautiful to look up at the stars, on the porch. We hope to return soon and recommend this property to anyone looking for a secluded cute cottage to rent. Lots of birds and they thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable.

Great stay in cozy cabin

We had a great stay in cozy cabin. It felt just remote enough to relax and recharge. As others have said, highly rec an SUV or 4WD vehicle for just one small steep portion of the road in. The surrounding forest is beautiful and the cabin had everything we needed!

Great Location

Beautiful cabin in what seems like the middle of nowhere but is only a short drive to Woodland Park. Great view, comfortable beds, and all you could need stocked in the kitchen. We didn’t realize the second bedroom was open to the living room, but since we were with our son, it was fine. Would highly recommend.

Perfect get away

The house was great and has everything you would need to enjoy your time there. A lot of thoughtful things like extra towels, sheets, soaps etc. It is a beautiful property with lots of wildlife interactions every day. Lots of deer, squirrels, birds and we even heard elk in the immediate area. We will definitely be back to this location.

The check-in process was easy. The home had lots of amenities and everything that you would need for your stay plus was well stocked on extras. It is very cozy and quiet at the home. The owners were easy to work with and very responsive to our questions. If you want to get off the highway or out of town, it is a perfect location. We would suggest however that you have a 4x4 or all wheel drive vehicle with good clearance as a regular car may have some issues on the long drive up from the highway. We loved our stay and the convenience to local trails and only being a few minutes from town to get necessities or go out for a meal. Thanks for a great place!

Our second visit in as many months! This lovely cabin is the perfect getaway. No traffic sounds, crazy kids on motor scooters - you get what I mean. The quiet is sublime.The cabin is beautifully stocked with coffee maker, toaster, microwave - all the basics. Each visit we took advantage and cooked all of our meals. Be careful as the smoke detector is a bit sensitive to a high heat sear of beautiful filet mignon. Might be best to use the bbq next time!I've attached an okay pic of the harvest moon!

Heaven on earth

The property exceeded my expectations. The cabin had everything you could ever need. My favorite feature was the windows that overlooked the east. The views were surreal. The drive up the hill was a little scary but worth it in the end. I loved the feel of the cabin. You can tell the owners value family and care for their guests. I would definitely return!!

Hidden Gem

As if 5 stars were enough! I cannot say enough great things about our stay. The house is beautiful and truly has everything you need! It is the perfect distance from the city/attractions while still providing seclusion. The host is very communicative and the manual with directions that was provided before check-in was very useful and appreciated. This is by far my favorite Colorado rental I’ve had the privilege of staying in and we will be back as soon as we can! Thank you! :)

An Awesome Family Weekend Away

We cannot overstate how much we loved our stay at Uncle Rick’s Cabin! It is even more gorgeous and homey than in the pictures. Everything you could need for yourself and your kiddos is there. The location is perfect to be able to access tons of hiking while also nearby to groceries and any other amenities you might need. The host was kind and responsive. We had everything we needed and more already at the cabin which made our stay very easy. We were able to cook for every meal which is rare at rentals these days. There were plenty of games as well as picnic blankets, a hammock, rocking chairs and a grill to enjance our stay. We can’t wait to go back to Uncle Rick’s Cabin in the future!

Mountain Paradise

Our family came to the Pike's Peak area to visit. This home was an excellent home base for all of the area attractions. Although we couldn't get to the summit of Pike's Peak due to weather conditions, we did enjoy Garden of the Gods, the Florissant Fossil Beds, and the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. The home had all of the amenities that we needed and it was clean and comfortable. The drive up was a little steep, but it wasn't overly concerning with a Toyota 4Runner. I would definitely recommend 4WD or AWD in the rain or winter time. The kids enjoyed exploring the property and the road around the house and were excited that they saw a hummingbird in the mountains! They loved the bunk beds and games, too! And the soft, comfy throw blankets were a nice touch on chilly nights sitting around the fireplace! Thank you for sharing your piece of mountain paradise with our family! When we come back to Woodland Park, we will definitely stay with you again!

About the host

Hosted by Bryce Karr

Host profile image

We are lifelong travelers who believe the best adventures require a great home base. Before starting our careers stateside, we lived in South Korea for a year and a half. Our journey has taken us from the tropical coastlines of Thailand and Bali to the rugged, windswept landscapes of Iceland and Ireland.

These global experiences shaped our philosophy as hosts. We know that the difference between a good trip and an unforgettable one often lies in the details. We built Uncle Rick’s Cabin to be the exact kind of retreat we look for during our own travels. It is a place that respects the ruggedness of the outdoors while providing a refined, comfortable space to recharge. When we aren't out exploring a new corner of the world, we are dedicated to ensuring your stay in the Pike National Forest is seamless and restorative.

Why they chose this property

We chose this specific location because it offers a rare sense of "frontier privacy" without being completely disconnected. Sitting at 8,200 feet, the air is crisp and the silence is absolute. What we love most is the immediate access to the Pike National Forest. Having miles of wilderness as your literal backyard is a luxury you can't find just anywhere.

The neighborhood is a quiet collection of retreats where nature remains the primary resident. We frequently share the property with moose, deer, and turkeys. While you feel worlds away from the hustle, you are still close enough to Woodland Park to grab supplies or enjoy a local meal. It is the perfect balance for anyone who wants to disappear into the pines for a few days but still appreciates a paved trail or a nearby coffee shop.

What makes this property unique

Uncle Rick’s Cabin stands out because it rejects the "cluttered cabin" cliché in favor of a curated Mountain Industrial aesthetic. We have replaced the traditional sleeper sofa with a large, deep-seated sectional sofa designed for true relaxation. With high ceilings and forest views from every window, the 880 square foot layout feels incredibly open and airy.

The indoor-outdoor flow is what truly defines the experience here. Our spacious deck acts as an outdoor living room where you can watch the sunrise over the pines. We have also brought in premium amenities like the Breeo smokeless fire pit in the driveway and a seamless keyless entry system. This is a property designed for the modern adventurer: someone who wants to hike hard during the day and return to a designer space with high-end linens, a wood-burning stove, and total tranquility.
