  • My husband and I stayed at your cabin 10-3 to 10-11-2009, and had the best time we have ever had in Colorado! In fact, we liked it so much, immediately upon our return we booked 2 more weeks the following summer. The cabin had everything we needed and more. Staying at your cabin is not like staying at a typical rental property, it is like staying at someone’s home. A lot of time and thought has gone into making this cabin a perfect get away, and we cannot wait until we can return in the summer. The location is perfect for day trips to just about all areas in this part of Colorado, and if you like to take photographs, you will be in heaven. We packed a cooler with food and drinks (which was at the cabin) every day and set out to a new destination. Thanks!!!! Larry and Debbie Lee

  • This was our sixth year in a row to visit Brian's cabin for the 4th of July. The fireworks and festival and casinos in nearby Central City and Blackhawk were a lot of fun. We hiked a beautiful, easy hike at nearby Nederland. The cabin was much improved over years past and we greatly appreciate the time and hard work Brian puts in to making our stay enjoyable. We are forever grateful for his making our vacations completely satisfying. The best day of our stay was the one that we didn't leave the cabin at all.

  • We had such a wonderful vacation staying at Brian's cabin! We rented ATV's for the first 2 days and just explored around!! We drove to Rocky Mountain National Park and then back to Estes Park the next day. We enjoyed Waterworld park too. We all enjoyed the campfires, the hammock and especially the hummingbirds. Brian was so nice paying extra attention to detail. He left alot of information about the different things you could do. He left directions to the local stores which also was extremely helpful.We all so enjoyed Colorado!!!

  • My family and I stayed in Brian's cabin June 13th - 19th (2009) and had a wonderful time. It was pretty much everything we expected from the pictures and descriptions from this site. My 4 boys (17, 15, 13, 10), my wife, and I stayed comfortably in this little gem of a hide-away in the mountains of Colorado. We took the advice of stocking of groceries... pans, dishes, cups, silverware were all provided by Brian which was nice. Everything worked great! The view and setting of the cabin is fantastic... easily we could have stayed several more weeks. We also had 4 ATVs delivered to the cabin (also recommended by Brian)... and had a blast exploring the Rockies... we rode 60miles in two days... literally, 5 miles up the road from the cabin and you are in the wilderness (Rockies). I would easily recommend this to anyone; already I have a lot of co-workers looking at this cabin now. Hopefully, my family and I will return to this cabin next year. If you get a chance to rent a cabin, this is the one to rent! Probably my favorite part was the wonderful stream flowing just down from the cabin (20yds). Brian setup a table with 2 chairs... it was just awesome.

  • We really enjoyed staying at this cabin. It was very cozy and comfortable. Loved the pellet fireplace, the loft, the conveniences of home. TV, movies, fridge, stove etc all made our stay so nice and easy. The bed was really comfortable and the location couldn't have been nicer. The stream gurgling outside was really beautiful. On our first day there we rented 4 wheelers and drove up the street into the park where we had one of the most memorable experiences of any of our trips. We were alone, really alone with the most amazing scenery. Even though I'd never ridden them before, it was really fun. We went up some pretty hairy trails to get as high as we could. It seemed we were in the clouds. Fantastic! We did some gambling in Blackhawk which is really close, and won. I think I've found my new gambling spot since the casino's are all non-smoking. HOORAY for that, I can breathe. We did some shopping on Pearl street, bought some lovely artwork. then Hiking at Mt Senita in Boulder. We ate at the Dubai teahouse and loved the pizza there. The cabin was clean and comfortable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying there to anyone.

  • This is the 5th time I've stayed in Brian's cabin in the last 3 years! Brian continually works hard to upgrade this gem of a cabin in Black Hawk, Colorado. Last weekend, me, 6 of my girlfriends and my 6 month old baby all stayed in Brian's cabin and had the BEST time. It is very relaxing and a nice way to get away from the city for the weekend. This was the first time I'd been to the cabin in the fall and the changing of the leaves was beautiful along with the great wheather. However, this cabin is also awesome in the snow too- my nephews (ages 10 and 12) LOVE to come to this cabin in the winter and play in the snow. Brian's cabin is well worth your money and vacation time! Don't miss it!

  • We honeymooned in Brian's cabin June 9th thru 15th. It couldn't have been any better! The cabin is nice, cozy and comfortable, and well stocked with the basics (and them some). It is private, yet close to anything you want to do. Absolutely great location. We were happy hanging out in the cabin and at the creek, and also explored the roads and towns around the area. Met a few locals, went to Rocky Mountain Nat'l Park, drove up Mt. Evans, even panned for gold in the creek! Had a great time at this cabin, loved it!!!!!!

  • We just returned from a wonderful week at Brian's cabin. It was the most relaxing vacation we have had in years. Brian was most hospitable and available by phone or email the entire week of our stay. Recommend visiting Red Rock Ampitheater and hiking the loop starting at the trading post. Also recommend spending some time in Boulder - especially, the hiking trails located in Settler's Park. Golden Gate Canyon State Park was also one of our best outings, and offered the best views of the surrounding mountain range. Best dining was the Red Lion, which is just outside of Boulder. Beau Jo's Pizza in Idaho Springs was also noteworthy. The three-pounder, although a little pricy at $30, was very fresh and not the least bit greasy (they put the toppings under the cheese).

  • My husband and I stayed at this wonderful cabin from 8/26 through 9/2. By the time our vacation ended we truly did not want to leave! We’ve been to Colorado many times in our younger years, and in the past we always camped. We found it was very nice to have a cabin to go back to every night, especially during those rainy nights! (Not to mention the wonderful bed) We did not need for anything---Brian has the cabin very well stocked, and information was always handy, including his phone number in case we had questions. (We didn’t---he has everything!) We LOVED early mornings down at the Creek, drinking our coffee with a good book, the wonderful scent of the trees and the earth, listening to the water racing across the rocks – it was the perfect way to start the day. This location is very central to many activities-Mt. Evans, Estes Park, Boulder/Denver, Breckenridge, Rocky Mountain National Park, Winter Park, St. Mary’s Glacier, several Colorado wineries, etc. White water rafting is nearby (it was too late in the season for us though) It’s just wonderful—thank you for sharing your mountain home with us Brian!

  • "Brian's Cabin" as my daughter calls it, is truly the best VRBO property we have ever stayed in. We have stayed here twice. We have ATV's, however the first trip we did not bring ours, so we did as Brian suggested and rented them. We LOVED the fact that we could jump on our bikes and be on the mountain within a few minutes. We had to go back and take our own bikes! We have incredible pictures of my family of 4 on a mountain top with glaciers all around us! The cabin is adorable, and I love the well stocked kitchen. We really enjoy the cozy feeling of playing hard all day and having a wonderful meal, while have a great fire and watching one of the many DVD's Brian supplies! Having stayed in dozens of VRBO properties throughout Colorado, we would suggest this one above all others. We look forward to when we can go back!
