We can’t say enough about this charming cabin. The hot tub was amazing. The scenery was beautiful. The large picture windows were ideal to watch it snow while we were snuggled inside by the fire. The location of the cabin seems pretty central to multiple activities. I would highly recommend staying here.

We absolutely enjoyed our stay over Christmas! The easy communication and instructions were a definite plus! We enjoyed evenings in the hot tub and playing games in front of the fireplace after.

Beautiful Location and Great House

This spot was great to spend time with friends and relax. The creek and ravens and hawks were a treat to enjoy. The kitchen had everything you could want and more. Close enough to town to enjoy that too.

Great really enjoyed our stay! Sitting and enjoying the creek by itself was enough for me, very peaceful and relaxing. The host with quick responses made everything that much better and the house was very nice and comfortable too, beds and pillows exceptional, Ive been passing this home for years headed to Mt. Evans and never knew what a gem it was! Thank You!

Great location for seeing so many sites in surrounding mountains

Enjoyed it being on on one level. It was a very convenient location. It was lacking enough lighting to even read a book in living room and needed a few side tables but property manager was very easy to contact!

Comfortable. Clean. Calm.

Great location. Being creekside was absolutely amazing and wish I could have recorded the water flowing to keep for my sleep app! Clean house, plenty of space, plenty of kitchen items! Functionally quirky as the host said in the book. Haha! Great hosts. Thank you!
