LOVED our stay! From the beautiful views, great property, and clean cabin, to the wood fires we enjoyed and hot cocoa welcoming gift, we had a blast! My kids especially loved the arcade game machine in the basement, the house was fully stocked with extras, and even our dogs were welcomed! Thank you for letting us enjoy the cabin! Highly recommend to anyone needing a getaway in the mountains!

Our stay was absolutely amazing. It was very easy to locate and was absolutely beautiful. We really appreciated how clean, comfy, and cozy the cabin was. There were plenty of basic items to make our stay comfortable from kitchen basics to bathroom basics. Our kids really enjoyed the play area and spent so much time playing games downstairs after a full day of fun! The wood stove was amazing! Really warmed up the place and hearing the fire cracking was a big plus! Overall, Terry and Ronnie were absolutely amazing, very responsive with any questions, and made our Christmas vacation a 10/10! Thank you both, so much!

About the host

Hosted by Terry & Ronnie

Host profile image
Hi guests!!! We're the owners, Terry & Ronnie....THANK YOU for checking out our little log cabin! We take great pride in our little place and are so thankful we get to share it with others. We do all of the cleaning ourselves to make sure everything is just right for your stay. This cabin has been Mr. Terry's labor of love since he retired. The cabin is close to everything but far enough away from the city life. We really enjoy our time here being in nature and the mountain views. Don't forget about the stars! Warm your toes by the wood stove and enjoy the stars from the couch ! The cabin is away from city lights so on a moonless night the stars are everywhere! Spend a little time looking up and hopefully you'll see a shooting star. We've seen lots! It's a great place to cozy up after a day of skiing or hiking, or tackling that 14er, or whatever your wandering takes you.
We know many guests want to bring their 4 legged love ones with them to the cabin. Please reach out to us for any concerns regarding the size of your dog.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything but far enough away! Mountain views, wood stove and big windows surrounded by all the comforts of home!
