About this property
Adorable Cottage in National Forest -- hiking & climbing steps from your door!
Completely remodeled and upgraded cozy cottage on 2.25 acres in the Arapaho National Forest. There's a cute little bonus shed for private, late-night conversations or a "getaway from your getaway". Relax with 360 degree mountain views and a creek flowing right through the property!

About the host
Hosted by Diane
That's Todd. We have MANY Todd photos. We live just across the creek (and through the woods) from The Chickadee. We love the serenity of our small forest neighborhood, the wildlife, stargazing, and amazing hikes. We want you to enjoy all the area has to offer too - please let us know if there is anything you need to make the most out of your stay.

Hiking trails are in private community. You can hike for hours on the various trails - we have seen moose, elk and other wildlife on our hikes, but very seldom other hikers!
