About this property

Forest Retreat over 1 acre, Hot Tub, Log Furniture, Wildlife!

Why choose our cabin? We own and operate it ourselves and take a lot of pride and care in the cabin AND in taking care of our guests. We are responsive and a phone call or text away for any of your needs. So book your stay to relax and soak away your cares while watching the shadows of the flames of the lava bowl dance against the 1+ acres of Pines and Aspens. You might even see a shooting star!
October 2022 we updated the kitchen with granite countertops throughout and stainless steel appliances! Also, Unlimited WiFi! We took extra care in furnishing our place with Colorado log mountain furnishings. The walk to the lake is only .5 a mile.
OHV trails are within 4 miles of our retreat! Perfect for the outdoor enthusiast! Driving in, watch out - the signs indicate Elk Crossing and they mean it! We have a herd of over 50 that meander along the road coming into our property.
Located within 5 miles of groceries, restaurants, and gas stations. We are quick drive to Pikes Peak, Cripple Creek, Woodland Park and approximately 25 minutes to Manitou Springs/Garden of the Gods/Colorado Springs.
After a day of hiking, white water rafting, fishing, boating, cross-country skiing or enjoying the nearby attractions come back to our cabin and enjoy the fully stocked kitchen (Kuerig and regular coffee maker). Sit back and relax from French doors on the upper deck while grilling on the gas grill.It is surrounded by forest and LOTS of wildlife. Enjoy your favorite shows our ROKU HDTV 50" TV, and check out our selection of movies. Our retreat has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, living room, family room, kitchen, dining and laundry room with large washer/dryers. It's perfect for extended families to have a space!
Since we personally own, operate, and use our vacation home (not managed by a management company), we take extra care in our cleaning practices, regardless of the extra expense. We use clorox wipes/Lysol on all surfaces and touchpoints. Also, we use additional deep cleaning sanitizers in addition to our laundry soaps on our linens and bedding. I was a Director of HR for Marriott Hotels, so, I know what we are doing is going beyond industry and CDC standards. We hope you will consider our "home away from home" for your vacation. Also, the Pikes Peak region has a long history of hospitality for those who have sought a safe, clean space to heal from respiratory illness. Our nickname was once “Sun City” due to our 300 days of sunshine per year and our 1,106,604 acres of Pike National Forest, Garden of the Gods, and other parks and natural sites are the ideal way to Social Distance!
This retreat is supplied with a binder filled with information about the property as well as the local area! This includes brochures on area attractions. Text me with any questions! I am responsive and happy to help make your stay the best!
We do not allow pets, and you must be 25 years old to rent this property.
Please note*** This is a NON-Smoking/vaping home. Cigarettes may be smoked outside away from windows and doors. Cigarette butts must be placed in the can provided on the back deck.

Thanksgiving Retreat!

Very nice and clean home, located close enough to local town of Divide. Beautiful mountain scenery and wildlife. Definitely glad we had an all wheel drive vehicle as we were there during a significant snow storm. Beautiful sunny days after the storm. Close to Mueller State Park with fantastic hiking.

Wonderful stay

We had a truly wonderful stay! Check in and communication was a breeze! The home was thoughtfully stocked, very clean, well maintained and the beds were comfortable! It was plenty spacious enough for my husband and and I and our 3 adult children. It was a quick trip to visit with our son, who is stationed at Fort Carson. He loved the location being away from base for it felt like a little vacation for him! Yet, we were close enough for us to visit some of his favorite spots in the springs as well! The kitchen was perfect for whipping together meals and had everything we needed. The dining table was large enough for us all to eat together, and play cards and games around! Our son especially enjoyed having a deck to sit out on and spot deer in the backyard each day, Something he misses from home. We didn’t have a chance to try the hot tub but It was great to spend a long weekend together and we left with lots of memories! We would definitely rent again! Thank you for sharing your home with us and making it so easy and comfortable!

Quiet Retreat

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The location was off the beaten path and quiet. The house had everything we needed to make the stay enjoyable. The kids enjoyed the volleyball court down the road and seeing deer right outside the house. It's a bit of a drive to all the activities in the area but not too bad if you plan for the extra drive time. We'd definitely go back!

Very relaxing

My husband and I had a very relaxing weekend at the cabin. It was clean and quiet and comfortable and we especially enjoyed sitting in the hot tub and watching the deer walk through the woods behind the property. We also enjoyed the well-stocked kitchen so we could cook all our own meals without having to leave.

Wonderful Stay!

Check-In process was easy, though I suggest printing off the instructions for arrival before you get there because our internet was extremely sparse out there. The roads are a bit Rocky, but it is on the top of a mountain. I'm not sure how they would be in the winter time. Would be sure you'd want four-wheel drive.The cabin had everything we needed and was plenty of room for two couples plus kids. The host had beach towels for the hot tub and regular towels and washcloths and even some extra amenities like soap/shampoo in the bathroom, some toilet paper and laundry and dishwasher supplies. All the beds were comfortable and all the blankets and sheets were very soft.The kitchen had most of the tools that we needed for cooking. Nice big dining area for playing board games or eating with the family. Nice downstairs gathering area where kids could play separately with another TV. We even had several visitors that made the trip fun. A deer came right up to the front porch and there was a bobcat that visited one morning. I could not get the fire pit to work. It appeared to be locked, but minor detail. The hot tub was clean and warm. It was perfect. This was definitely a wonderful stay and we would go again for sure. Very peaceful and enjoyable.

Went above and beyond

We ended up getting lots of snow and losing power for most of our stay. Robin and her husband were extremely responsive and helpful and brought out a generator! Our stay ended up being an amazing escape and an adventure to remember! Our kids will always remember looking for elk in the back yard, snowball fights, and cooking cinnamon rolls on the wooden stove.

Wooded Retreat

Our family of five stayed here for a few days before heading up to Estes Park. Nicely decorated and comfortable mountain home. Everything was clean, beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything you need for making your meals. Lower level was a great place to light the wood burning stove and watch a movie. We enjoyed the lava fire pit and hot tub. One of the few VRBO properties we've stayed in that all the jets are actually working. The property has some wooded area to explore. We saw a few deer roaming around in the mornings. The lake near the property is breathtaking however due to HOA restrictions, short term renters can't use this amenity unless with the owner, so basically you can't use it. This was a bit of a disappointment but had nothing to do with the homeowners. They provided some fishing poles and made recommendations for other nearby lakes to use if we wanted. Overall a beautiful wooded property that we wood definitely recommend staying at. Divide has a small grocery store nearby but would recommend stocking up at the Walmart on your way up the valley. Divide also has a few shops and restaurants Great area, great cabin, thanks for a pleasant stay! FYI Garden of the Gods is about 35-40 minutes away and the the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo is about 20 minutes past that. We did both and they should be on your list of things to do when in the area!

About the host

Hosted by Henry and Robyn Reed

Host profile image
Hi, Henry and I have lived in Colorado for 32 years and love the Rocky Mountains. It has been a wonderful place to raise our kids. We have explored many of the attractions here and there are things for all ages to enjoy!
When we moved to Colorado, we could hardly wait until our children were old enough to explore with us. When their grandparents retired here, they began teaching them how to fish for trout at the Rampart Range Reservoir. Being able to catch their limit has never been an issue!
We hope that you take the time to come to Colorado to relax, have fun and make some great memories!

Why they chose this property

We spent a lot of time looking for a special place to get away and relax. When we found this property, we fell in love with the views and wildlife. Each time we have stayed here we have had deer come into the backyard early morning and evening.
Having a place large enough for our immediate and extended family was important in case we wanted to get away to celebrate a special occasion. This mountain home's layout lends itself to privacy for more than one family.
Be ready for a photo opportunity when driving to the house because elk herds frequent the area!

What makes this property unique

We are one of the only cabins in the area where we offer a lava bowl and a hot tub (impeccably maintained).
