We have only good things to say about this property. From the moment that we walked in and it smelled good until we left, everything was better than we could have hoped for. This host thinks of everything and all of it was perfect! The scenery was amazing too! Loved seeing the Milky Way at night!! We plan to stay here again. Probably one of our top VRBO stays.

The definition of quiet is this place. You could here the bees buzzing on the flowers and that was pretty much it. Super clean, comfortable bed, well stocked and had everything we needed for a great stay. The cabin isn't too far from Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, many hiking trials, Victor, Cripple Creek or a nice drive to the Great Sand Dunes. The hosts were very nice. I would highly recommend this rental.

My husband, sister, and I enjoyed our stay here very much! This is the second time we have stayed in Rainbow Valley, and I can confidently say it won’t be the last! I was looking for a cabin that was dog friendly and was so happy to find this one, and Piper had so much fun here! The valley was great for her to run around in, and she loved watching the deer and birds. I would also highly suggest this cabin during the fall, as it sits inside an aspen grove and I can’t even imagine how beautiful it is that time of year.

The cabin was perfect for a relaxing weekend. We heard little vehicle traffic which made it feel as though we had the whole mountain to ourselves. The cabin was well stocked with all the needed cooking equipment. I would 100% stay here again!

Loved our stay here. We enjoyed everything about the property. Very relaxing and was in a perfect location for all the things we wanted to do with our visit to Colorado. Loved using the telescope at night and looking at stars each night was something we looked forward to each night after our busy days. Would have loved to use the fireplace but unfortunately the week we were there it was to hot to use but will definitely be staying here again and maybe next time it will be colder that we will be able to enjoy sitting around with family enjoying the fireplace.

About the host

Hosted by Gene and Nancy Matocha

Host profile image

Nancy Catmull Matocha went to school at the University of Texas in Austin and Columbia University in New York when she met Gene Matocha. We live, work and rear two children in North Texas.

But we play in Colorado. :)

Why they chose this property

A family cabin near Park City, Utah, inspired us to want to build our own. Plus, we were looking for a place that the whole family could enjoy. We found it in Divide. Completed in 2012, we add improvements to it each year.

What makes this property unique

Besides its quiet comfort, our cabin is uniquely situated to enjoy so much of Colorado. There's something for everyone - from mountain biking, to hiking to touring - and a comfortable place to return to, cook a meal, play a board game, read a book or watch a movie. Perfect for families.
