Fantastic cabin to escape

This cabin was the perfect getaway for my girlfriend and I over a long weekend. Small and rustic with an incredible ambiance of nature right outside with all of the comforts needed to make full meals and enjoy some time to relax in front of the TV after a hike. Hosts were very attentive and pleasant to communicate with and the property is incredible.

About the host

Hosted by David & Renee Rusterholtz

Host profile image
We grew up in Pennsylvania and New York State, but loved to take vacations in the West. In 2003 , we moved to the beautiful state of Colorado. We love the mountains, the Pines and the fresh air. It's like heaven on earth.

Why they chose this property

This is a very unique piece of property because of the landscape and beautiful landmark rock formations. It calls you to explore and imagine.

What makes this property unique

We love the Western culture and our Cabin is filled with decor from the West that takes you back to what the great American West is all about. From the Leather living room furniture to the rustic wood furniture and floors, we didn't cut corners decorating in a way that is appealing to both women and men. A taste of authentic western style. You'll enjoy hiking around the property and through the unique Pikes Peak granite rock formations. At this time we ask that you do not climb up to the very top. We are not responsible for falls, injuries or worse. There are great views of Pikes Peak from several places on the property.
