Perfect Holiday Getaway

This property was perfect for my husband and I with our Border Collie. The house was very clean and smartly decorated. The in-floor heating and thick walls, meant we didn't have to run the heater much at all. The nieghborhood was quiet and perfect for taking our dog for a walk. We loved everything about our stay and hope to be able to stay there again.

Clean, well-equipped property

Pristine new construction with numerous custom features. The well-equipped kitchen, king-sized bed, washer and dryer, and walk-in shower were ideal for our needs. The owners were responsive and accommodating. Adding a handrail to the flagstone stairs and a thicker curtain for the sliding door would be nice improvements. We were fortunate to see the Palmer Lake Star lit one evening.

Family vacation

The marmot cabin was adorable and in a great location with a view - it is in a neighborhood with a lot of dogs barking. It wasn't ideal for our baby to sleep due to lack of AC and darkness, but would be perfect for just my husband and I!

Peaceful

Great little place! Comfortable! The bed and bedding are awesome, thank you so much. No bugs, flies, spiders, yay. We were there on a relatively cool weekend, but still appreciated the fans which are quiet and very pleasant. The patio is a great place for breakfast and relaxing. Patio is covered and there is a bit of grass, as well as beautiful flowers to enjoy. There is a very minimally traveled road in front of house and patio, but the house is higher up than the road and feels like it is farther away than it is. The neighbors dogs are a bit noisy at times. I know that this is being addressed, and it did not deter us from enjoying our stay. We most definitely would like to stay again.

Short summer vacation

Cute, comfortable cabin. The location was very close to restaurants, groceries, trail heads and a small lake as described. We had our dog with us who really enjoyed his first long road trip. The cabin was well suited for the three of us. I would return.

Great experience!

My wife and I really loved staying at this place! It’s a great location and the perfect size for two people to be at for some time. The property was clean and stocked with most things that you would need, and we really loved how custom everything was (warm floors too). The smoke alarm went out of battery during our stay but the proprietor promptly gave us a replacement for it the following day. There were several spiders that made their way into the house during our stay, but this is usually hard to avoid in rural areas like Palmer Lake. Overall we would definitely stay again!

Cute place

It was a very nice place to stay, conveniently located away from the hum of the city, but still close enough to enjoy. Some darker shades in the bedroom would be nice for sleeping in, and a thicker curtain by the slider door for more privacy is needed. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay!

About the host

Hosted by Alyce McElhoes

Host profile image
A custom home builder for 30 years. This was a refreshing project that was so small and simple it was fun to build and create a small retreat just for two. It was an acre of land that overlooks the quaint town of Palmer Lake that boasts some amazing restaurants and bars. This little gem sits at the base of the famous Palmer Lake Star.

Why they chose this property

If you want to relax and get away from it all in a small private bungalow and enjoy new, clean home with all the modern amenities current with the trends. Get away to the National Forest or walk to town to visit the new train bridge, or get an ice cream cone at a local shop.
