What a cozy secluded cabin! It was very clean, communication was great, check-in was seamless, and it was probably the most well-stocked VRBO we've experienced!Also, although we didn't bring pets, it is very dog friendly with dog beds, bowls, toys, and even a dog run!Highly recommend!!

We stayed 3 nights over Thanksgiving weekend. The cabin is warm and welcoming, and the property is beautiful with great rocks and views. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make your own meals. Our dog loved running around and sniffing out animal tracks. We visited Bishop’s Castle and The Great Sand Dunes and the weather was sunny and in the 50’s so it was nice for driving to longer adventures. Highly recommend any time of year, but if it snows you will need 4WD for sure!

Me and my puppy had a blast! We chose this spot because I wanted my dog to be able to run around off leash and explore, and that's what we did every single day. I was working remotely and the wifi was perfect for that, and every morning, evening, and during my lunch break my puppy got to go romp in the woods. We ran into a moose! And found some bear poop. So I was a little nervous actually lol, thankfully my dog doesn't get too far away from me and has pretty good recall.

About the host

Hosted by ZOE GRANT

Host profile image
I came to Colorado over 20 years ago after spending most of my life in upstate NY. Colorado winters are quite mild in comparison!

We enjoy spending quality time together as a family from game nights, our kids' sports, to visiting with family and friends. We have 3 kids with two in high school, and one in middle school. In addition to having 3 children, we have two dogs (both rescues.) We have been fostering dogs for almost 6 years and have rescued 25 and counting!

The picture is from us rafting on the Arkansas River. It's so much fun!!

Why they chose this property

Things can get a bit hectic and we have wanted to have a little slice of Colorado in the mountains for a few years now. A place to relax and enjoy. We wanted to have a cabin in the mountains that is far enough away from the city to enjoy the stars without light pollution, to have mature trees to look at and walk amongst, and close enough for family activities. We found all that and more in Cotopaxi!

What makes this property unique

The peace and quiet and not feeling rushed to do anything while at the cabin. You really are on mountain time and we always feel like we get to "reset" whenever we're there.
