Had a fabulous time and was the perfect place to stay! Great get away cabin in the mountains that was cozy and relaxed. Bev was a gracious host and made us feel at home. Plenty of fun to be had in the area with hiking, fly fishing, and time for father and son to connect. Wonderful place to make memories!

This was a lovely and relaxing "home" base. We were able to go out hiking and adventuring and come back to a restful place. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook the meals we wanted, and the coffee area was well stocked. The hosts were helpful and more than kind. Highly recommend.

Fall in Colorado

We spent 3 weeks at the cabin, the longest we've stayed in one place in years. This was a convenient base for all the places we wanted to see. For the two of us, there was plenty of room. We had all the comforts we needed, especially since we ate in most nights. Bev and her daughters were very gracious and helpful. If we come back this way we will definitely be staying here again.

This was a perfect cabin for two and in a great location to where we wanted to explore. Bev was a perfect host and responded to any concerns or problems that we had. She even accommodated 2 extra people staying one night. Went above and beyond setting the bed up. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Colorado Springs.

Great Stay

The property is very conveniently located and in a beautiful area. We were able to drive across the Continental Divide, take day trips to Royal Gorge, Air Force Academy, Pike's Peak, Colorado Springs, Ft. Carson. Perfect size and location for our small group, kitchen, laundry, outdoor spaces for grilling, eating outside, playing in the yard. Feels secluded even though it is right off the highway for easy access. The owner was fantastic, property is extremely clean and well maintained, wonderful personal touches and amenities, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely book again.

Log Cabin getaway

Property was as presented. Owner was very friendly and a joy to speak with. Quiet surrondings and easy access to Woodland Park and Manitou Springs. Great for morning coffee and breakfast on the porch. Would easily stay there again if we choose to vaca in that area instead of seeing other parts of the greater Rocky Mountains. Bev, keep doing what you're doing with the property. Doug & Julie Peterson

Perfect Cabin with full amenities

This cabin was perfect in every way. Check-in was easy and even though we drove in late, the owner came to meet us and answer any questions we had. The cabin has all the amenities you could ever want. I had brought some condiments, but none were needed. The bathroom was stocked with towels, wash cloths, toiletries, etc. We hosted some guests staying in the area for a few dinners and the outside patio was the perfect place to gather and eat. We also used the grill, so nice to cook outside in the perfect evening weather. My husband signed up for a massage which was just a couple doors down too. There are no regrets on staying here, so don't hesitate.

Pure Bliss

I had an amazing stay. Bev was so welcoming and her attention to detail is second to none. The cabin was very cozy. Bev goes above and beyond. Homemade sweets which were delicious! If you forget something not to worry, Bev has you covered. The location of the cabin was ideal for me. Woodland Park is a super cute town. Walmart is 3 minutes away! There is so much to explore. You can't take a wrong turn. It's a short drive to Colorado Springs if you want to head that way. Dont't think twice. I have only the best things to say about Bev and the cabin. It was peaceful, comfortable and perfect. Book it!

Historic Crystola Cabin - Woodland Park, CO

When we first arrived to our cabin we felt so welcome. The cabin was clean and it was exactly as descibed in the listing. The owner had provided everything we could possibly require and so much more. The kitchen was equipped with all of the essentials and we had a very nice gas grill on the patio. We saw lots of wildlife including moutain birds, rabbits, mule deer and marmot's near Pike's Peak. This is such a beautiful place to stay and enjoy the outdoors. There are plenty of places to eat or pick up something to throw on the grill. And there was plenty to do, even if Mother Nature decided to cool the air down with a shower or two. The nights were cool and the bed was so comfortable. After a great day of hiking and a glass of wine to end the evening, this cabin was a home away from home and we can hardly wait to come back ! Thank you so much for a wonderful time and inviting us into your cabin home. God Bless !

A Hidden Gem in the Rockies – Perfect Mountain Escape Tucked away in the heart of Colorado’s breathtaking wilderness, this quaint cabin is pure magic. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into a postcard — rustic wood accents, an electric fireplace, and a porch with views that stretch for miles. The cabin is thoughtfully decorated with charming mountain touches — vintage snowshoes on the wall and cozy blankets. It strikes the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. The kitchen is well-stocked, the bed is incredibly comfortable, and the peaceful quiet at night is nothing short of therapeutic. What really sets this place apart is the location. Whether you want to hike, snowshoe, or simply sip coffee on the porch while watching the sun rise over the pines, it’s all right here. We even spotted a deer grazing nearby the very first night! They had plenty of recommendations for local restaurants, activities, and shopping. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and soak it all in. Perfect for a romantic getaway, a solo recharge, or a family adventure. We left feeling refreshed and already dreaming about coming back. Highly recommend — this little cabin is Colorado magic at its finest!

About the host

We have lived most of our lives in Colorado with the exception of my husband Dave who was born here. We love this state because we are very active people and have found there is never a lack of things to do and the weather in Colorado is very desirable. Outdoorsy people, we love hiking, biking, hunting, horseback riding-you name it we love to do it!

Why they chose this property

We are between big city living and rural country living. We fit the bill for whatever your likes are, whether it is city shopping, or getting out in the quiet woods. We have it at our fingertips.
