Wonderful trip!

We had a wonderful stay in Marble at Jake and Susan’s incredibly beautiful hand crafted wood home. The property is stunning and the home is a true work of art. We were also able to enjoy Jake’s incredible Italian style pizzas on our last night. Highly recommend!

Spectacular weekend wedding stay!

In Marble for a wedding at Darien Ranch. Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time. If you stay with Jake, the pizza is a must. It really is the best ever! Everything about this property is 5-star!

Simply the Best

This home is beyond trying to describe; words don’t do it justice. Gorgeous, peaceful, true craftsmanship, and all in the Marble and Redstone area. Jake is ready to help with ideas of things to do and you have to have him cook pizza for you. We can’t wait to go back!

Very Nice

The property and location was very nice. We had a group of two families with two sets of kids. The owner was overall very helpful and recommended a great hike to a waterfall. He also set up fires for us multiple nights and had the wood and chairs all ready. We were not able to do the pizza night due to food allergies, but the options looked great! The cabin is very large with everything you would need for your vacation. However, I would not consider it kid friendly. The stairs are a hazard and there are no door locks on any of the doors, even the bathrooms. The bedrooms do not even have door handles. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked. One downside is you will not see much wild life. There are dogs that chase everything away.

Excellent place to slow down and reconnect with nature

Really great property and Jake was a thoughtful host with great touches throughout a spacious home. Well equipped kitchen and grill. This is a great place to relax, enjoy friends, family and nature. Hike to the waterfalls well worthwhile in summertime.

Wonderful place!

I have nothing but good things to say about our stay in Marble. The cabin was absolutely beautiful and Jake was such a great host! Such a nice area. Just down the road there is a short hike to a beautiful waterfall! And Jake’s pizza was phenomenal! We highly recommend this place and the pizza! Just a heads up, there is no cell phone service in this area. To get service is about a 40 minute drive.

Beautiful space for the right fit

The house is a work of art; the craftsmanship is remarkable. The host lives on site downstairs and went out of his way to be kind to our children. That said, it might be a better fit for people without young kids. The space is very open and sound really travels. A lot of energy went into how we were affecting our neighbor downstairs. Without them, it would have been ideal.

A Gem in Marble

Incredible cabin/house built by the owner. The woodwork is amazing, beautiful floors. Lots of room. Great modern appliances, lots of windows, great outdoor spaces, and the owner (Jake) makes the best pizza. This is a top tier rental in a special place - grab it if you get the chance.

Peace & Tranquility in a Lovely Setting

My husband & I had a wonderful stay at Jacob's place prior to our son's wedding in Aspen. Set in an aspen grove up against a National Forrest the location could not have been better. It was a quiet, peaceful respite before heading into Aspen for wedding festivities. The craftsmanship of the home was incredible. It was also very comfortable. Our daughter joined us for one night and wished she had more to enjoy the home and hiking in the area. We also really enjoyed pizza night with Jacob. Highly recommend!

Winterwonderland

Whatever your expectations are when you book your vacation at Jake's place, it will be exceeded. We had the best Christmas ever. If you are looking for a romantic winter wonderland, away from the typical winter vacation mainstream locations, this is your place. Jake is a wonderful host. He is there when you need him and pizza night is a must. Thanks again for having us and making this one of our best vacations ever.

Beautiful home in amazing location

My husband and I celebrated our 28th anniversary in Marble and couldn't have had a more wonderful experience. Jake was informative and super helpful (and we highly recommend his pizza!). The home is a work of art and has great spaces inside and out...coffee on the deck in the morning, pizza and salad in the open dining room and dinner by the campfire at night...it was a great location for a getaway. Jake also recommended great hikes and fishing which was a huge help. Also, there were ample paper products and a pantry with spices, oil and everything you might have at home to be able to prepare meals which not all VRBOs provide these days-we highly recommend this home! Thank you Jake and Susan for a terrific stay!

Hand-crafted Cabin in Marble

Jake's cabin is one-of-a-kind in its construction -- attractive, comfortable and well-stocked. Both the cabin and the property are spacious and, like other renters, we very much enjoyed his pizza night (billed separately). I'd note the cabin is not quite as isolated as the photos suggest, as there are a few other homes nearby and Jake's huge woodworking barn and equipment are on the adjoining property. Even so, we rarely saw anyone and the place is very quiet.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

Wonderful vacation home for getting away from the crowds and HubBub of national parks. We enjoyed the surrounding river, mountains and Aspens immensely. While having the owner live on site might be off-putting to some, Jacob was a class act, you didn’t realize he was there unless you needed him, and he was free with his knowledge of the area. His world class pizza capped off the trip!
