Map & Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2004
Why the Owner Chose Black Hawk
We bought our property after looking at many others on the market in many differnt locations in Gilpin County. We bought the Coyote Cabin directly from the builder who built this house for himself. It is extremely well built, on a steep "down lot" which provides some of the best views of the mountains we have ever seen, and just minutes to Black Hawk and Central City. My wife and I have "tweaked" the cabin in every way possible to make it seem like it is truly a "home away from home" for our guests, as well as ourselves.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
This house is very comfortable and its three levels allows for large groups to have their own space to play pool, dine, or watch TV in the private loft. An oversized two car garage and ample parking is always apprecaited by our guests.

We just had a wonderful time at your beautiful cabin. We appreciated how well it was decorated, clean and well stocked. It was a busy place with CD's, poker, pool, and electronic games. We cooked most of our meals there and it was nice that we could all sit in the dining room and bar. Phil and I loved the Master suite and the kids loved the loft. So often places are not as nice as the pictures but your cabin was even better. There was nothing better than sitting on the deck with the beautiful view and nice cool weather. We went to the Water Park, Boulder several times, river rafting, Coors, and hiked. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our 50th anniversary with our kids and grandchildren ( ages 22 to 13). There was laughter and fun every day. What wonderful memories. We all want to come back. Thank's so much. (Coyote Cabin guests 8-1-09 to 8-8-09)
