getaway

House was very nice, quiet & away from everything. Enjoyed crilling on the deck & walking local parks. Spiral starcase was a little tight if you have mobility issues, but other than that a great place.

Weekend Get Away

My husband and I did a short stay here and it was perfect. Close enough to the things we wanted to do....secluded enough to have peace and quiet in the evening and for morning coffee!

About the host

Hosted by Cara Johnson

Hi! We are excited to meet you! A little bit about us: We have two pups and we love hiking and enjoying the great outdoors. Max works in public health and, if he can find free time, he enjoys the solitude of woodworking. Cara works in marketing and loves yoga and bird watching. Together, we have a shared hobby of gardening. We look forward to welcoming you at our place!

Why they chose this property

We live in Colorado and bought this place in 2021 as a 2nd home. This cottage was a perfect little escape from the hustle and bustle of our busy Denver suburb and gave us the ability to see our friends and family much more often. We've been overwhelmed by the amount of wildlife - from deer right outside our kitchen window to birds happily singing in the trees - escaping here has been nothing short of incredible.

What makes this property unique

The peace and quiet of the cottage has been the most unique benefit. It's hard to find places to escape the chaos of daily life. We leave the cottage feeling rested, relaxed, and recharged.
