August Mountain Vacation

We loved this cabin in the woods. There’s so many places to explore at this location. There’s plenty of room for family and everyone to have their own space. We loved how remote it felt, the cabin had everything we needed.

Winter Wonderland

We came to this home a week before Thanksgiving and we got to live our winter wonderland dreams. Just enough snow that the kids were able to sled and build snowmen the whole trip, but not enough snow to keep us snowed it. Not too far from town, but very peaceful.This home is a place we want to come back and see during Spring/Summer.

We loved our time in the cabin! It was exactly (actually more) than we hoped for. We loved our time at the creek and the seclusion from the busyness of life. We hope to come visit again some day!

Lovely, well equipped cozy cabin

The cabin was perfect for our needs. The property managers where attentive and helpful. Close to Monarch (4 minutes). Not too far off the main road but must have 4wd in winter as stated in info. Great experience.

Memories of a lifetime..

From the start to the finish it was all excellent. We couldnt have asked for a better place to stay at. Booking was a breeze and our questions were answered briefly . We found everything we needed at the cabin and had more time to make memories with our loved ones . Will definitely book again...Thank you.

Whole family loved the cabin

Our visit to Colorado was made memorable with the stay at your beautiful cabin. Everyone enjoyed the stay and facilities. I have no complains. If I have to do some nit picking, the directions to cabin was hard to follow after sundown. We still made it without wandering.

Excellent accommodations except the bridge down to the stream was roped off. That was disappointing as we come to the mountains to see water flowing.

Great cabin. Great area.

We enjoy going to this part of the state particularly more secluded areas but close enough to towns for access to groceries. This place was perfect. Had everything we needed. Could fit up to 10 people at least but we had a smaller group so more than enough room. Right by the river although the river was tough to access from where we were. No biggie. Overall great place. Look forward to coming back if it's available.

Bad directions

Everything was clean and tidy and exactly as pictured. However it was difficult to get there and the directions were not great. We ended up getting stuck twice and had to ask a neighbor for directions.
