About this property

Cozy, Lake View Chalet

Lake View Chalet, with fishing on small private lake which is located in a quiet country setting. The cozy cabin has private steps that lead to the lake and there are kayaks and a rowboat for use by guests. There is a walking path around the Lake with wildlife and beautiful scenery. In the cabin, a spiral staircase leads to a small loft is with queen sized bed and a small bedroom with set of bunk beds on the first floor, with a fold out couch in the living room which sleeps 2. Kitchen has microwave, coffee maker, and cooktop stove with the basic cooking utensils and dishes. Bathroom has tile floor and walk in shower. The spiral staircase requires cation when using and may not be suitable for everyone.
There are 3 cabins for rent here and the property is part of a campground, so campsites are available. The campers are about located some distance from the cabins but on heavy travel days, some campers may be closer. Camper hookups are available outside each cabin if needed. Its located 2.5 miles from a small town that has a bar/restaurant and a gas station with basic supplies and a grocery store is about 10miles away in Elgin. There are 2 State Parks (Pikes Peak and Back Bone) within 40 mins and lots of local trout streams for enjoyment. You will most likely see lots of wildlife including Deer, Bald Eagles, Turkey and a wide variety of Flora and Fauna. Lake is private but is used by other guests staying on the property.
There is no Wi-Fi or television in the cabins so you can just relax and unplug for a while, but there is a cell tower within a mile to give you great US cellular but other providers may be spotty.
The most important rule is to relax, enjoy your stay and please return. Bring any personal items that will make your stay more comfortable. I have most of the basics but maybe not everything you may need.
Please no shoes or smoking inside the cabin.
Before checking out, please place all used linen in pile on the floor near the front door. Feel free to bring your own sheets and towels if wanted. They are supplied but some people prefer to bring their own. If you're going to need a heavy blanket, please bring that as well because they are too difficult to wash between each guest, but if needed I can supply them. Place all garbage in the dumpster near the entrance. Pets must be house broken and let me know the size, number and type of pet you are bringing. Please bring a dog bed or sheet to lay on and a Kennel is suggested for nighttime. No pets allowed on furniture or beds or inside the cabin if wet or dirty. Pets Cannot be left alone inside the cabin, unless inside a kennel and please pick up after your pets. I have an outside kennel for guests to use if needed. If the pet has an accident inside the cabin, there will be an additional cleaning fee of 25$. And please let me know if this happens so the area can be cleaned and sanitized.
Unfortunately, there is no swimming allowed in the Lake due to insurance and liability issues.
Fishing is allowed but please use artificial bait and barbless hooks for the safe release of the fish.
No parties or events are to be held unless preapproved and no weapons are allowed on site unless preapproved and or used for hunting.
Please let me know if there is any damage or spills of any sort or if anything needs improved or repaired. Also, any help with clean up and keeping the cabin clean is greatly appreciated. Smoking is only allowed outside the cabin and no butts thrown on the ground.
Thank you for supporting small business.

It’s what we wanted, great fishing, peace and quiet. Only thing I would add is more shades to the front and back door. We had a neighbor park his camper across from us and we kept seeing him looking through the front door window. We locked eyes once . So more blinds for privacy.
