Clean, fully stocked, great location! The cozy cabin was just what we needed! We especially enjoyed the deck & close location to area attractions, but still felt far enough out for that more remote feel. Check in process was quick, & no issues! Thanks, Kevin!

It's easy to understand why all the reviews are 10 stars
Our new favorite place to stay in the Colorado mountains. Classic mountain cabin that is clean, well-decorated and wonderfully stocked with everything a vacationer needs. The cabin is close to so many activities perfect for our mountain adventures. We especially enjoyed the wrap around deck adorned by hanging plants and surrounded by the sounds of birds. Many thanks to Kevin for a wonderful stay. Definitely recommend.
The cabin location was secluded and quiet. The large porches were wonderful for sitting outside and enjoying the beautiful fall weather. The cabin was so well stocked and everything was in great working order. We had a lovely time!
A lovely warm log cabin , every time we needed anything it was there...great local pub the The Moose ... and we particularly enjoyed feeding the amazing wild birds ...jays , filckers, nuthatches... great stay ..thanks..
This was the most lovely stay. Everything one could need, from bathrobes to ice, (and everything in between), was provided. The outdoor spaces were comfortable and great for bird and wildlife watching. The beds were great. Everything was delightful and I hope to book again.
My 24 year old daughter and I decided to take a short trip together. We absolutely loved everything about our cabin. We especially enjoyed sipping wine each night on the deck. 😊 Beautiful location. Beautiful cabin. Beautiful time away.
Enjoyed our stay for five days. Comfortable living room furniture and bed. The deck was relaxing for morning coffee. Saw one deer in drive on two occasions. Nice location for relaxation but close to many attractions in the area.
The cabin was very cozy. Great decks to watch the wildlife from. Had as many as four deer hanging around at one time. Owner was very responsive and helpful. We would definitely go back again.

2nd time staying at this cabin. The owners spare no expense making sure every detail is covered. That includes firewood, games, spices, coffee, extra bedding, and the list goes on!!!
This cabin was very well maintained and stocked with everything we could ever need through our stay. Kevin was very helpful and a wonderful host. This was my first time using a VRBO and must say it was a very simple process. Quiet neighborhood, very clean, no bait & switch; well worth the trip! We will be returning!
