Forest cabin on 4 acres, Newly renovated, Quiet and secluded.
Unique forest setting for great family time together. House has huge kitchen, dining room with windows all around. There is also a dry cabin/playhouse/detached bedroom/secluded reading nook in the back. It is a wonderful place to send the kids or escape to yourself. Cabin has chipmunks and squirrels that will eat out of your hands. Fox pups in the spring in a den close by. ATV and mountain bikes for riding. Trails and hiking. Professional gas/briquettes grill smoker. Fireplace. Wood stove. Fire pit. Wood and kindling for fireplaces provided.
The cabin is a bit remote but the drive is beautiful with lovely views of Pikes Peak. We regularly saw wildlife on the property which thrilled our grandchildren. The cabin was roomy and comfortable.
Our stay was great;the house was everything we wanted & needed it to be. The weather was great, not hot & very cool in the evening. The only problem was the broken trash can that the bear(s) got in almost every night. Never saw the bear so that was good. It was a wonderful week away!
The aspens were in full turn. We visited at perfect time. The property was perfect for our needs. We did day trips from this location and were able to prepare meals, enjoy fire pit and the wildlife.
This was a great place to rest with the family. Local scenery and wildlife were great. Close enough to travel to all the popular central colorado attractions.
This place is amazing! It's big and private, would stay here again in a heartbeat, loved that there is a lot of wood for the fire pit and fire place, the cast iron stove heats up the house very nice
We really enjoyed how secluded this home was. Deer and chipmunks frequented the back yard.
Only suggestion: With no cell service we couldnât text the manager and couldnât find where she lived so, with WiFi, an email contact may be more effective if needed.
We checked in late on a Friday night and received some news that forced us to leave early. The host and owner were incredibly accommodating so that was great. But, we were sad to not get to enjoy the beautiful setting. Maybe another time.
Property was well-maintained, host was great. Our issue came into play with the altitude, we struggled with altitude sickness the whole week we were there. We also didnt realize there was no A/C at the property, but opening the windows definitely helped that.
This is exactly the type of place we were looking for. Out of the hustle and bustle of the city but pretty easy access to go places. Right off the Pike National Forest.
Better than what I had hoped for! This place was spacious, clean, and just as listed! The seclusion in the woods was perfect for hiking and getting away from the hussle and bussle. Caretaker had delicious cookies and brought us to her house to cuddle a new baby goat!
Highly recommend this place!
Amazing! Highly recommended
I booked on our stay way out to Colorado. Be sure to download directions when you have service. There's no service besides the wifi once you get to the house. Which was nice for us. It is about a 30-50 drive to Manitou depending on what time of day you are traveling. It is really quiet and enjoyable! areteaveling
I have been building homes and cabins for 30 years. We also love the outdoors, nature, and quiet getaways. We modeled this home after all the things we seek in getting away from normal life.
We chose this property because of the beauty that surrounds it and the sense that you are the only people in the area when you are there. It is surrounded by trees and wildlife. It also has a huge kitchen and dining area, great for entertaining and cooking on the grill. The dry cabin out back is a great place for the kids to play and pretend it is their own little cabin.
The most unique aspect is the wildlife. there are several chipmunks and squirrels that will eat out of your hand if you take seeds and nuts up. You can see the feeders they frequent at the entrance to the front deck. And, best of all, there is a red fox family that dens in the rocks near the trailer. In the spring, if you are quiet, you can watch them play from the deck. It is a very unique and amazing place to visit.
