Excellent location for skiing at Royal Gorge—just a few blocks away. Very enjoyable wood stove—a significant upgrade from the one pictured (as of March, 2026). A good supply of firewood. Kitchen was functional, fitted with the basics. Gorgeous living room windows, a real pleasure to spend time in this room on a cold wintry day/night. Lots of room on three levels for people to spred out.

Love the home it has everything you need from seasonings ziplock bags grill snow gear. Our first time in the snow it was an unexpected trip and by far the best one. Nice friendly small town. If your looking for a relaxing getaway in the snow this house is perfect.

Will return again & again!

This is our 2nd stay here. This cabin is perfect for a small or large family; 3 stories of bed spaces. We stayed in the summer this time & kept the windows open for a cross-breeze, so the house stayed cool. The beds are comfortable. The area is quiet. The balcony is lovely to relax on. We loved having the Ninja blender for our margaritas! There is even a bluetooth speaker we used with my cell to play music! It would have been nice to have a barbeque available.

Casual cabin

The house had definitely had pets in it, it is very dark except in the loft. The pool table and ping pong were missing pieces and were in disrepair. Lots of beds in the loft and one more bedroom on each floor. Tv was on the bottom floor. Fairly clean.

Christy, thank you for being our guest and sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry for any areas that needed some TLC and appreciate you bringing these details to our attention. Our local manager assured us that they ordered some balls, sticks and other parts for the pool and ping pong table and we regret any inconvenience. We hope you will allow us the chance to provide you with a truly exceptional vacation experience in the future.

Perfect for small or large family!

Stayed at end of snow season for a couple of ski days. Great for our small family of 3 to have their own spaces; 2 spacious living areas (main level & basement.) Fun pool table in basement; needs more pool cues (sticks). TV worked with our Chromecast. Central heat works well; did not try wood stove (no wood in rack). Kitchen appliances worked well, and fully stocked. Table has leaf to expand. Beds comfy (foam toppers on mattresses.) Front entrance not plowed; enter through basement driveway.

Overall no huge issues. Home worked just fine for our family weekend. Close access to the snow park where the kids had a fun filled day. Questions were answered promptly by property owner/manager. Kitchen is EXTREMELY well-stocked with appliances, cookware and spices. There is no TV ion the main living level; worked out fine for us but may not for others. Pool table was covered with a ping pong table. The net didn’t quite fit and there were no ping pong balls. Would’ve been nice to be able to use pool table and/or ping pong table but it wasn’t a game changer. We would certainly rent this property again.

Thank you for sharing your experience, we're pleased our home was a good fit for your family! It's great to know that you found it well-appointed and that its location served you well. That said, we are sorry if the location of the TV in the downstairs living room was not to your liking but are glad this did not detract from your stay. Additionally, we apologize for any issues with the ping pong table and we shared your comments with the local manager. We enjoyed having you as our guest and we look forward to hosting you again.
