Mountaintop Cabin-secluded but close to everything!
Epic Colorado Mountain Cabin with views that will take your breath away! Remote yet near everything..... and totally Colorado. 4x4 recommended in winter months. 36 acres to walk around on the hillside that will get your heart pumping. Close to Fraser-Granby trail, 1 mile, that provides for miles of amazing groomed trails in winter months and biking and hiking in other months Wild animal sightings such as bears and moose are not unusual especially in the summer and fall months. Encounters, if any, are usually not aggressive or problematic. Cabin property is mountain hillside with plenty to explore. Rooms of cabin are all large, especially Master Bedroom that has an en suite luxury bath that is hard to leave!! Radiant heat in floor and fireplace provides warmth and ambiance. Deck is perfectly positioned to see for dozens of miles and perfect for nighttime stargazing! You'll be amazed at how much is up there at night. Cabin can hold 10+ with bunk room over 3rd bedroom, and loft area can sleep 2 or 3.
Biggest complaint from guests has been having to is so peaceful and serene. Hunters love remoteness and access to local lands. Families love the size and proximity to both Granby Ranch, Devil's Thumb and Winter Park Resorts. Not too far from Rocky Mountain National Park 25-30 minutes to Grand Lake which is the western access to the Park.
Make sure 4x4 SUV is vehicle you'll be arriving in during snow months. Summer cars are fine but "shoulder months" around snow season (Oct-May) could be tricky. Snow tires helps with any vehicle if you can have them.
The activities accessible from this property are almost unlimited.

While the location is not next to the slops it was more than worth it to be more isolated, no noise, great views in a cabin that was safe, warm, and felt like home. Really what Colorado is about, and I am a native. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our stay at this mountain top cabin. It is a very cozy cabin far enough away to be able to relax and enjoy the scenery, but close enough to town to be convenient. We will be returning in the future and would recommend to anyone.
“I had an absolutely amazing stay at The Cabin House! The space was spotless, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable visit. The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive, making sure my experience was top-notch. The location was perfect, close to local attractions yet peaceful enough for a relaxing getaway. I would highly recommend Verbo House to anyone looking for a perfect stay. Can’t wait to come back!
This was a beautiful property with INCREDIBLE views. Also a pretty short drive to both Granby and Winter park. The place was very clean and the host is responsive. I would stay here again!
We had an amazing stay at this cabin. We unwound on the deck , watching the amazing sunsets, soaked in the hot tub for HOURS , slept in and connected as a family. As Chistians, we felt our hearts drawn closer to God as we rested and refilled our souls at this lovely cabin on the hill.
My wife and I stayed in this cabin on our honeymoon, it was perfect for us 2 and our doggies. The views this cabin has are amazing! We were only 30ish minutes away from the RMNP and just a few minutes from Granby. It is secluded but also close enough to things around there. We will be coming back!
Secluded property is easy to get to. I was a little bit concerned getting to the cabin based on reading other reviews, but I’m happy to say we had no issues and it was not as difficult as I thought it would be. The cabin is cozy and views are fabulous. I would definitely stay here again.
I can’t say enough great things about this home! The views were stunning, location was great and it was so comfortable for our family. The amenities a large kitchen, fireplace, and new hot tub really made it hard to leave to do our planned activities. Hope to come back again!
We are an avid vrbo couple and we think this is hands down the best place you could stay in. Great for any combination of family- young, old, boring, or active/ this place has you covered. Thank you so much for sharing your treasured home❤️
the property is exactly as described and exactly what you see in pictures. the host and the owner are awesome and there with any questions or needs. the place is beautifully secluded on top of the hill and at the very end of the road so you are literally all by yourself but not far from the highway. it is an awesome place.
This house is a beautiful, well kept cabin with amazing views! We enjoyed the beautiful mountain views and comfortable furnishings and long walks with the dogs. The house had everything we needed and provided easy access to everything — RMNP, plenty of hiking trails, restaurants, grocery store, and breweries in Granby and Fraser and more. We can’t wait to visit again!
Beautiful and spacious cabin with amazing views. It was very clean with lots of amenities. About 10 minutes to Granby and 15 minutes to Fraser for restaurants and groceries. I would definitely come back!
Such a beautiful home. We didn't want to leave! Great location for exploring Rockly Mountain National Park and surrounding areas. We had two mule deer who visited us at the house! Communication was great during booking and while at the property. We are already talking about coming back! (We miss the porch the most!)
Thank you for everything!
The stay was absolutely perfect. My kids are all grown and sometimes very hard to get us all together. This was a perfect place for us all to relax and enjoy! We spent a morning hiking in the national park, a few days shopping and the rest fishing and off roaring through some pretty cool trails! Everything was a bit of a drive but I think this was the perfect middle! The cabin was everything and more! We will definitely try to come back here!
My family stayed at this property this past August and loved every minute of our stay here. The house is spacious and beautiful, with plenty of amenities to make our stay comfortable. There were five of us on our trip, but the house could have comfortably fit many more. The mountain views from the west windows in the main living area is spectacular, as are the views all around from the great deck. A highlight of the property is the extensive land around the house... perfect for exploring and wildlife viewing. And while you feel secluded and away from it all on the property itself, it is conveniently located to Granby, RMNP, Winter Park and other nearby attractions. We felt like we were able to access a lot of the summer season activities from this location very easily. All in all, definitely a property we would consider staying at again in the future.
Holy Cow! An amazing cabin with a breathtaking view!!
If you're planning on vacationing in the Colorado Rockies, you can't do much better than this cabin. A pretty secluded area with amazing mountain views. Just wait until you see the sunsets! We loved sitting out on the deck soaking up the rays and breathing the mountain air. Our Old English Sheepdog especially loved napping out there! The cabin itself was beautiful. Very clean and had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The only problem you'll have is that you will not want to leave! There were plenty of great restaurants and coffee shops just 15 minutes away. Great hiking trails close by (we recommend Doe Creek Trail and Monarch Lake Trail). I will admit that the final tight turn on the dirt road leading to the cabin had me white knuckling the steering wheel (I drive a Ford Super Duty F250), but I quickly got used to it, and it wasn't a problem. Do yourself a favor and book this cabin if you're visiting Colorado. You will not regret it!!

Beautiful view!
First, the view from the house was beautiful. We were lucky enough to see a moose on the road to the house. That was a highlight of our vacation. There was a lot of dog hair, which we knew was a possibility. It is listed as pet friendly, but there was more than we expected. There were two devices in the living space that looked like cameras. There was a visible lens on the devices that were turned towards the wall, we did cover them for privacy. We did feel like our conversation could be listened to. We also received a text at 9:30 pm advising that the following morning, there would be some maintenance done on the heating system at 8:30 am. That late of a notice caused a bit of hiccup in our plans. Other than those items, the home was as described and was beautiful for our Colorado trip!

About the host
Hosted by Valerie R Whitford
We are property managers for our good friends who live in Texas and cannot use this place enough. Their loss is your gain as this "remote" cabin, situated in the middle of all the fun things to do in Grand County. Make sure you bring your 4x4 or AWD vehicles in non-summer months as the access to the property would require it.
Why they chose this property
Hand built by owner in 2013-2014. Bucket list accomplishment. Remote yet close to it all. A luxury cabin to say the least. Unplug from the busy-ness of life, and recharge batteries with loved ones and new 4 legged friends. Mangers spent the entire 2015 year and love nearly every minute of it. The views are amazing but accessing the property will require 4x4 or AWD vehicle in winter and shoulder seasons. Summer is ok for all types of cars.
What makes this property unique
Views, access to trails for hiking and skiing, large 36 acre footprint, unplugged yet close to all the amenities. Local wildlife very friendly and will approach cabin frequently. Bears, deer and moose are most often seen, while elk, rocky mountain hares and foxes are around a bunch too. Cabin is not wired for cable, DirecTV or high speed WiFi. We have "low speed" wifi suitable for email and SD movie streaming, but you might have to spend time talking, visiting and exploring the local area instead of "surfing the internet" while on vacation here. GO OUTSIDE! Many guests have commented that at first it was a struggle and inconvenience, but by trips end they loved just hanging with the family and doing stuff, instead of surfing. Oxygen service highly recommended and can be provided onsite upon arrival.
