Absolutely beautiful cabin. I love the rustic log home look and the log furniture. The cabin was extremely clean and plenty of kitchen items to make cooking a breeze. Nice big bath towels. Super comfy beds. Beautiful wrap around deck too. Was happy to see the little chipmunks running around as well as the black squirrels. We don’t have black squirrels in Missouri. Oh and the beautiful bouquet of flowers sitting on the table was such a nice touch. Thank you for letting myself and our family enjoy your beautiful home.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was perfect,such a beautiful place. Not hard to get to and an easy drive home each night after adventuring all day. The sunsets were very pretty right off the deck and deer every morning. The host Terry was great to work with and if we come this way again we will definitely stay here. Thanks again for a great stay.

Peaceful Mountain Escape – A Perfect Getaway

We just returned from a wonderful vacation at this beautiful log cabin tucked back in the Colorado woods. The setting was incredibly peaceful and quiet—just what we needed to relax and recharge. The cabin was clean, well-kept, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed.One of the special touches we appreciated was the fresh flowers in the front room when we arrived—my wife absolutely loved that. Even better, they allowed us to bring our dogs, which made the trip even more enjoyable. It’s not always easy to find pet-friendly places like this, and we’re so grateful for it.Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a calm, scenic, and pet-friendly getaway in the mountains.

Great place in the woods!

We loved your family trip to Buena Vista and this house was great! Nice that it was remote but also easy to get into BV or drive to Salida. Would definitely recommend this house to others! We appreciated the toiletries and basic pantry items provided too! Our kids loved the old school video game and playing outside.

My friends and I had a wonderful time in the cabin, we stayed for two nights and the place was amazing with the location, the views, and the privacy. The cabin was very neat and everything worked just fine, the instructions were very accurate and helpful. The communication with the hosts was very prompt and welcoming. The fresh flowers on the dining table was very much appreciated. Thank you.

2025 Spring Break

Being from Texas, we always wanted to experience, a cozy cabin in the woods and we got it with this Cabin. The scenery and drive just to get there were amazing.The Star gazing at night was breathtaking, it was cold but worth being out on the deck looking at the beautiful sky.Couple of cautions- the cabin is out there, and the nearest grocery store is about 35-40 minutes away. The elevation is high if you're not used to it and may cause you to slow down :)

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway

My family and I chose this cabin for our Thanksgiving and it was literally perfect. Woke up to deer walking through the snow in the front yard, has a perfectly equipped kitchen to cook a large meal, and close enough to Buena Vista/Salida for a fun day trip while feeling like we were far out in the country. We don't have a single complaint! The stargazing out there is unbelievable and the cabin is so cozy. When we arrived, there was about 1.5 ft of snow but the driveway was plowed as well! I'd recommend this place to everyone and hope to be back soon :)
