Short getaway for my husband, dog, and I. Cute place. It’s small- but is listed accurately. Great outdoor patio and fire pit space. We didn’t use the fire pit for a fire, but did enjoy the morning sunshine in the fire pit area. Theres no place to sit and relax inside the cabin/studio other than the bed. Just be prepared for the cabin vibe in the size of a hotel room. We would stay again but not for a longer time. We enjoyed our stay!

Beautiful Cabin

This is a small cabin but the patio makes it feel much larger. I was in the area to hike, fish and enjoy Colorado at the end of September. The cabin was great for that. The cabin is set up thoughtfully by the owners and is very efficient with its space. I like to cook when possible, and the gas grill with a side burner (along with a microwave and toaster oven) could handle anything I needed. I highly recommend this cabin for a relaxing outdoor visit.

Great location - beautiful view of the lake. Decorated beautifully - very nautical and cozy. Needs some love and care. Great to have grill but only 2 burners on it worked - which was okay. Couldn’t open a couple of windows due to screen torn and no screen on others but it was cool enough. Entry gate to the house needs fixing - wood rot but easily fixable - but made entry and departure a tad challenging. Would definitely rent again!
