Pine Ridge - Memories are made here!

20% Off Pre-Holiday Getaways!
Enjoy a peaceful mountain escape before the holiday rush! Book your stay before Thanksgiving or Christmas and save 20% on nightly rates. Cozy up, explore, and relax—these limited-time pre-holiday discounts won’t last long.

Pine Ridge, part of the Ridge Vacation Properties group, is a charming 2-bedroom, 1-bath 900-square-foot mountaintop cabin. Nestled in the woods at an elevation of 9200 feet, you're away from it all but still close to everything! Our goal is to make Pine Ridge your favorite getaway, so we've furnished the cabin with everything you might need or want and have decorated it with a mix of new, vintage, and antique pieces with convenience and relaxation in mind. And even though your plan may be to disconnect from the world for a few days, you're always in touch with free Wi-Fi and internet.

The cozy furnishings include luxury bedding and mattresses, a variety of pillows, Turkish cotton towels, crisp cotton linens, and plenty of ambient lighting. We've also added many smart-home conveniences for your benefit, easily controlled by voice using the Amazon Alexa devices located throughout the cabin and on the deck. Play music, ask a question, control the lights --even adjust the temperature just by speaking. Of course, all the traditional switches and controls still work, and the smart features can be disabled for those with privacy concerns. We've tried to think of everything...we want you to be very comfortable here!

The cabin is all on one level and can easily sleep six. In the LIVING ROOM, the electric fireplace puts you in a relaxed frame of mind with the push of a button, so gather the family and wrap yourselves in cozy throws for a movie marathon on the 55" smart HD television, stretch out for a well-deserved nap on the cushy sofa, or watch the birds and wildlife out the large windows. You'll also have access to the queen sofa bed with memory foam mattress if you decide to binge-watch TV all night long.

You'll find that the roomy eat-in KITCHEN is fully stocked with plenty of pots and pans, glassware, dishes, all the utensils and gadgets you might need to whip up delicious meals and yummy treats, a microwave, slow cooker, a variety of bakeware, a blender, hand mixer, Cuisinart toaster, and a Cuisinart coffee maker that accepts single-serve Keurig-style coffee pods as well as ground coffee for making a full carafe. Basic pantry items such as spices, sugar, oils, condiments, paper goods, trash bags, all necessary soaps, kitchen linens, and some coffee and tea to get you started, are provided. A gas grill is conveniently located off the kitchen through the large sliding door. The antique dining set in the EATING AREA seats six and overlooks the wrap-around deck and the woods beyond. Gather here for a big breakfast before heading out for the day, or stay in and get out the games and puzzles for some memory-making time together.

Down the hall, the FIRST BEDROOM has a queen bed, while the SECOND BEDROOM offers two twin beds...the mattresses are plush and oh so comfy, and we use fresh cotton sheets and quilts so you can snuggle down for a great night's sleep in our clean mountain air. You'll always have access to extra blankets, comforters, and a variety of pillows, and both bedrooms have plenty of hanging and drawer space for your belongings. If you're traveling with little ones, you'll find a portable crib with appropriate linens as well as a highchair, sippy cups, and special kid-friendly dinnerware for your convenience --less equipment for you to haul!

The roomy BATHROOM features a full-size bathtub and shower, plenty of thick Turkish cotton towels, and all the toiletries, soaps, and paper goods you'll need to make yourselves at home. A separate LAUNDRY ROOM near the bedrooms contains a full-size washer and dryer, and laundry supplies are provided just in case your favorite hoodie needs washing before your next adventure.

Outside, you'll find a table and chairs for al fresco dining, along with comfy wicker seating on the WRAP-AROUND DECK where you can relax with your morning coffee to watch the birds start their day. Listen to the hypnotizing sound of the seasonal rock WATERFALL while watching the chipmunks get a drink and wild turkey gather at the bird feeder. There are plenty of outdoor blankets so you can enjoy hours in the cool evening air around the FIRE PIT, and we provide all the necessary supplies for toasting and roasting over a crackling campfire. Unwind and feel every muscle begin to relax in the HOT TUB, where the view is nothing but mountains and trees. Stretch out in the hammock with a good book or initiate a tournament with one of our outdoor games. You may just decide to stay outside indefinitely!

Pine Ridge is located on a quiet gravel road just 2 miles from pavement, and the road is county maintained year round. The driveway to the cabin is also gravel, and a few guests have described it as being on the steep side. Those guests arriving in 4-wheel drive or all-wheel drive vehicles will not have any problem. Even 2-wheel drive vehicles typically manage just fine in the summer, and additional access options are available when the weather is inclement. Feel free to contact us with any questions regarding access to the property.

There are lots of hiking/activities within a short driving distance or can relax on the lovely deck or fire pit area while listening to the fountain or chill in the hot tub.

Magnificent stay

Our entire stay was amazing! The entire cabin was so well maintained that honestly the pictures you see simply do not do it justice, you must come visit to understand. The wildlife you see while having breakfast is amazing and not to mention how cozy it is for your family. Definitely recommend Pine Ridge!

Colorado Vacation

We chose Pine Ridge because the area was close to 11 Mile Canyon and we love to fish. The cabin was just as described, only BETTER! We have rented numerous homes through VRBO and this is one of the best. Everything was provided to cook a meal. Plenty of cookware, eating utensils, and all the spices you might need. Just bring your groceries. Bath towels were very plentiful, fluffy and nice. We were so busy fishing and exploring the area, we didn’t use the hot tub. We did have fun watching the numerous birds, chipmunks, and deer eating out of the large bird feeder. We recommend this cabin to anyone that likes to stay in a peaceful country setting. You can’t go wrong. We would stay here again!

Fresh air and comfort

At first, I was hesitant to rent this cabin, because I didn't see any reviews, but then I found them on airbnb.com and they were all 5 stars.. and for good reasons! When we first arrived, Wayne and Wendy had set up everything to make the cabin welcoming: the water fall was trickling, a soft music was playing in the background (even outside on the deck), and Wayne came to greet us and made sure we had everything we needed. Wayne and Wendy thought of everything from providing a first aid kit to the seeds to feed the birds, and even blankets and pillows near the fire pit and in the trunk on the deck. They even have everything needed for small children. The cabin is extremely clean and very well decorated. The high ceiling in the living room and the open floor plan make it feel specious, and even though the 3 of us are very tall, we did not feel cramped at all. After working at home for 2 months in a row because of the Coronavirus, we really needed some fresh air. This cabin was just what the doctor ordered! Thank you for all your hard work, Wayne and Wendy!

A Perfect Retreat

This property is immaculately kept, inside and out- clean and organized while remaining cozy and comfortable. Clear instructions for everything were easy to find and easy to follow. We really appreciated the easy check-in/check-out process. Didn't even feel like much of a process! They have everything set up for voice commands, and the wifi was great! But, it's also a perfect place for an unplugged weekend, which is how we used our time. We were lucky enough to arrive after a sizable snow, so sledding conditions were perfect, occupying the kids for hours. This property seemed as if it were chosen with sledding in mind, and the owners provided sleds- what a treat! Then, the hot tub was the best for relaxing after a day of snow play. We particularly liked the set of binoculars left out on the table by the front door. The kids loved watching the deer, birds and stars with them. That was a thoughtful touch. The kitchen was well-stocked, the table is just right for board games, the furniture is comfortable, there were more than enough linens/towels for everyone, there was instant hot water, a great deck, all our needs were met before we knew we had them! We honestly couldn't have chosen a better place. So thankful the owners have opened up this place for others to enjoy. And thank you for our souvenir mug! -Olivia
