Early Spring Getaway

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 :)

Updated cabin in the woods

Everything went well when we checked in, and communicating with our host was easy. They replied very quickly to messages. My son enjoyed the small arcade downstairs and watching movies on the main level.

Just what we were looking for

First, the property was very clean, which is a big deal for us. Checking in and out were easy. The house is about 20 minutes from town, but we wanted to be out in the mountains, so the drive was totally worth it. It’s in a beautiful area and we would stay there again.

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 :)

About the host

Hosted by Terry & Ronnie

Host profile image
Hi guests!!! We're the owners, Terry & Ronnie....THANK YOU for checking out our little log cabin! We take great pride in our little place and are so thankful we get to share it with others. We do all of the cleaning ourselves to make sure everything is just right for your stay. This cabin has been Mr. Terry's labor of love since he retired. The cabin is close to everything but far enough away from the city life. We really enjoy our time here being in nature and the mountain views. Don't forget about the stars! Warm your toes by the wood stove and enjoy the stars from the couch ! The cabin is away from city lights so on a moonless night the stars are everywhere! Spend a little time looking up and hopefully you'll see a shooting star. We've seen lots! It's a great place to cozy up after a day of skiing or hiking, or tackling that 14er, or whatever your wandering takes you.
We know many guests want to bring their 4 legged love ones with them to the cabin. Please reach out to us for any concerns regarding the size of your dog.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything but far enough away! Mountain views, wood stove and big windows surrounded by all the comforts of home!
