About this property

Miles from anything, in the middle of everything

This rustic mountain getaway in beautiful Florissant Colorado is just minutes away from so many things, from the history and hiking of Florissant Fossil beds National Monument to the excitement of the Cripple Creek Casinos. Nearby you will also find the recreational areas of Pikes Peak and all of the attractions of Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs. A short drive south (37miles) will find you at the magnificent Royal Gorge Bridge and the heart pounding thrills of white water rafting the Arkansas River. Our 2500 sq ft log home has a dazzling view of Pikes Peak from the living room or the spacious deck. The 3 bedroom home with the bonus sleeping arrangements downstairs easily sleeps 8 adults (a Pack and Play baby crib is also in the home). A 2020 remodel brought luxury and convivence to the home with updated bathrooms and all new kitchen appliances. The kitchen/dining area will comfortably seat your entire family and then some. In 2021 An automatic whole house emergency back up generator was added for guests security and peace of mind. In 2025 we are excited to share our new remodeled and replaced outside deck. This over 600 square foot elevated outdoor space is a popular hangout with its breathtaking view of Pikes Peak. Local wildlife that almost daily visit the property is a guest favorite.

Cozy

Andy was very communicative and ensured we had everything we needed to get our stay off on the right foot and was more than accommodating when we needed additional help during our stay. Kudos to him for his personal touch. Our first impression of the house was not particularly favorable. When pulling up to the house, we were greeted by a number of "keep out" signs along the neighbor's fence line. The grounds immediately around the house have not been maintained. The driveway gravel is overgrown with grass, The grass is thigh high on a 5'7" adult and blocked the use of the lower porch swing. The wrap around deck is in need of repair (loose boards, soft boards, etc.) and the outside furniture finish has worn off which will stick to any knit clothing if you sit on the furniture. The inside of the home is very quaint and cozy. Very comfortable. I don't think the listing stated that there was no air conditioning, but we sure could've used it during our stay. 90+ degrees the first 2 days and 85+ in the house with the windows open. It took well until after 7 PM for the inside to cool back down to a comfortable temp for our liking. I don't mean to be overly critical, but the tall grass and deck conditions kept us from enjoying the outside, so this property just didn't meet our expectations.

Colorado Springs Family Vacation

Staying at this beautiful cabin was amazing. Our entire family loved hanging out or coming home to this peaceful cabin. There were deer, turkeys, squirrels, and chipmunks seen daily. The home was stocked with everything you could possibly need - from the kitchen, laundry room, bathrooms, and bedrooms. Andy, the host, was quick to respond to any questions we had before, during, and after the stay. When we return to Colorado Springs, we will, without a doubt, stay here.

Definite WOW factor!!

This property is located in a beautiful area, full of pine trees, with deer, squirrels, and plenty of birds that visit daily. The house felt more like a home away from home, rather than just a place to stay. It is fully stocked with everything you need for a week long vacation like we took. You only need to bring food to feed your family, everything else is provided, including pots and pans, plenty of dishes, shampoo and conditioners, towels, washer and dryer, board games, binoculars and even a telescope. Pikes Peak is visible from inside the house and the deck! The owner even provided bird food. I will definitely stay here again on our next Colorado vacation!!

Wonderful Place to Stay

I would highly recommend staying at Miles from Anything, In the Middle of Everything. Andy is a great host who really wants his guests to enjoy their stay and makes sure you have everything you need. The house was well stocked with things in the kitchen, bathroom, and everything else. I can’t say enough good about Andy.

Absolutely Amazing Cabin and Amazing Host. 10/10.

Our stay was spectacular!! My Wife and I stayed for 9 nights. We loved everything about the Cabin, the area we stayed and our host, Andy. The Cabin: Beautiful view of Pikes Peak (I think it is better than the photo even shows), Perfectly stocked with so many kitchen supplies, towels, and wood for the fireplace. 3 stories tall and very homey. The walk in shower downstairs is amazing, and we loved the kitchen. It's also well kept and very updated. Hands down 10/10. Highly recommend places nearby that My Wife & I traveled: Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Breckenridge, and Eleven Mile Canyon Road. In Woodland Park: Righteous Grounds Coffee shop, Java Haus, The Donut Mill, Fiesta Mexicana Restaurant, and a little outside Woodland Park: The Pantry. A nice trail to hike: Rainbow Gultch Trailhead. Also, a spectacular well hidden coffee shop close to the Cabin, my Wife & I found and maybe the best coffee nearby is: Wild Horses Cafe. The Host: Andy was amazing! He left my Wife & I, flowers, wine, and chocolate. He also asked me to call before our trip and told me about some really cool local places to check out and other logistics concerning places to get groceries, gas, restaurants, etc. He called to check and texted us just making sure we had everything we needed. Thanks for everything Andy! You helped make our Honeymoon perfect. We hope you have many more people try your amazing Cabin. God bless. -Wes

Oh my snow!

House was great and had pretty much everything we needed for our stay. Coming to Colorado I had the expectation of snow but wasn’t prepared for three feet on our first night! Communication was great with the Moores and they did their best to get us squared away before and during our trip. Unfortunately the snow impacted our plans but we are already talking about coming back in the summer for a redo and hope the property is available. If you’re looking to book this place you can’t go wrong.

Everything we hoped for and more

This location had all we needed including quality supplies, beautiful surroundings, great location for our adventures, plenty of space for gathering or relaxing on your own. Communication from the owners was excellent. We were gifted with a visit from Natasha, the deer who came right up to us when we were outside. We enjoyed the deck for relaxing below Pike's Peak and observing an incredible night sky. Exceptional vacation location with excellent amenities.

Wonderful vacation

Our stay in Florissant was one of the most relaxing vacations we've had. Andy Moore was a wonderful host -- he communicated with us several times to be sure we had everything we needed. His home was super clean and had all the items needed for our stay. It was close to grocery stores and interesting tourist attractions that our son and grandson enjoyed. We wish we could have stayed longer. The place was just as beautiful the pictures on the website. You will be very happy if you choose to stay at Andy's home.

Marvelous Matterhorn Meadows

In all reality, Matterhorn Meadows is what you would expect from a high quality VRBO in the mountains; the host, the property, the views, the location, the wildlife, the abundance of attractions within an hours drive were all phenomenal! If you are looking to stay in this area, this is the place for you!

Great for Families

We loved the property from the moment we pulled up. Set away from the road and very quiet with a few neighbors that weren’t too close. The house was very spacious with plenty of room and bathrooms for everyone. Very well stocked with everything you think you might need. Andy was super easy to communicate with and answered any questions we had. Easy enough to get to Colorado Springs for the day and get back to relax.

Spectacular!

Matterhorn Meadow is an amazing property with absolutely stunning views of Pike’s Peak. It’s incredibly clean and well appointed. It has absolutely everything you could possibly need for a week in the mountains. Andy is a wonderful host who goes above and beyond to ensure a great guest experience. We spent Christmas here and were greeted with a beautifully decorated tree, a lovely Christmas cactus and other adornments. It really made our stay extra special. Kids and adults alike enjoyed seeing the wildlife including deer, a bobcat and her baby, turkeys and numerous other birds visiting the feeder right outside of the living room window. We had a party of 6 (4 adults and 2 kids) and there was plenty of space for everyone. If you’re looking for a quiet retreat from the hustle and bustle, I highly recommend checking this place out. You won’t be disappointed!

A peaceful get away

We loved our stay here! The cabin was clean and had everything we needed, including a well stocked kitchen, full laundry, plenty of towels, ( not always the case with other rentals! ) and the king bed was very comfortable. We enjoyed the view of Pike’s Peak from the living room and deck, and the stars at night are incredible! The are many places to hike, and we really enjoyed the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument just a short distance away. We loved the peace and quiet, the wildlife, and the gorgeous scenery, and we hope to be back!

Mountain Sanctuary

Andy was a wonderful host! He called before our trip and filled us in with details and asked if we had any questions. The house was amazing! We spent most of our time star-gazing and drinking coffee on the deck. Oh, and the deer came by several times a day to say hello. What a treat! Our second favorite space was the kitchen. There is lots of room to get everyone, even kids, involved with cooking. We had everything we needed and more to make breakfast and dinner everyday. Andy, thank you for creating such a peaceful place for people to stay, rest, and rejuvinate!

This property is incredible! My family and I were thoroughly impressed with the house and especially the owner. He contacted me before we even checked in to let me know about the property and all that there is to do around there. It is in such a great area. We took advantage of everything. The house is loaded with everything you will need. After a long day of sightseeing we took advantage of the board games and puzzles that are in the house. I would highly recommend this place to anyone that is looking for a great vacation.

We loved this VRBO house! We had 8 people total and had plenty of room. The house was very clean and had everything for our 7 night stay. The property owner, Andy was really nice and answered all of my questions. We saw a lot of animals at the house- deer, squirrels, chipmunks and the most exciting, a lynx!
