it doesn't get any better than this...

When you buy "on line" you just never know. When you use cash... and there is no credit card "insurance"… it might be risky. Not this time. The cabin is just awesome, just as described, and the pictures do not do the view justice. The cabin is perfectly located, cute "as a button." I felt at home the minute I came through the door. The cabin is also dog friendly and my four-legged was snoozing on the rug within an hour. I love to cook and the ktichen was fully equipped for that purpose. It does not get any better than that. So, If you want to get away from the world, this is the place. If you want a great location to do all the local tourist activities: Cripple Creek, Florissant National Monument, Pike's Peak, Garden of the Gods, the Wolf Rescue Center, super hiking and cross country skiing or any of the other tourist spots in Colorado Spring area, then this is your place. The locals are friendly, the little grocery in Divide is not over priced and McGinty's Pub and Restaurant next door has awesome wood fired pizza. My vehicle battery died and the local Divide mechanic @ Big Sky Auto had me in and out with a new battery in under 15 minutes (he stopped what he was doing so I could be on my way and did not charge an arm and a leg). The owner(s), Sharon was great in letting me know what to expect and ensuring that if I needed anything, to contact her or Tony. And, oh by the way, your ATT won't work at 9500 feet but my Verizon Air Card worked 90% of the time. So, if you need to work, sorry about that but you still can. HIGHLY RECOMMEND...hate to say that since next year I likely will not be able to get a week here (let alone two.) Thanks, Sharon and Tony for a “great escape”. I loved the "attitude" and every minute of my stay.

Little Slice of Heaven Visit 7-10 October, 2011

I'm a Travel Consultant so even when I'm on vacation I look at places through my client's eyes. This cabin is a perfect place for a couple getaway or for up to 4 people if one does not mind sleeping on a sofa sleeper. It is a small intimate cabin with everything you will need for a nice stay. The decor is just what I want in a Colorado Mountain cabin the big log bed and bear and moose theme. The cabin has an open floor plan so feels very spacious and everything is very well kept and fresh. It looked like the kitchen had been updated with new sink and the cabinets were filled with almost anything you need to cook. The BEST is the view and this picture is one that I just took but after almost a foot of snow. It was great to see Fall and then have Winter all in one visit. The greatest thing is you feel like you are so secluded but yet you are only about 5 minutes off a main road and very close to Pikes Peak and Colorado Springs. Tony and Sharon were very easy to deal with and had everything just as listed on their information. I was worried that we would have a hard time finding the cabin but Sharon gave us great directions and plenty of information on stores and things in the area. Tony and Sharon "Thank you" for sharing your "Little Slice of Heaven" with us! The Wrights Round Rock, Texas

Owner response:Sharon - thanks so much for the great review. We are so pleased your stay was all you had hoped for in a getaway. Your comments mean a lot to us since we know you have seen it all as a travel consultant! Thanks and we hope you will return again when you can stay longer.

We found Altitude with Attitude on VRBO.com while searching for a late summer/early fall getaway, and having just finished our stay, we can honestly say this was one of the best vacations we've ever had. Every facet of our stay exceeded our expectations, from the incredible views of the mountains and wildlife to having nearly all the amenities of living comfortably at home. We needed a week away to unplug, and the cabin was isolated enough to make that possible (NO cell phone service, a welcome feature), but still close enough to plenty of places for food and supplies. Sharon and Tony are the perfect hosts, with their kindness and hospitality only outweighed by their eagerness to accommodate even the smallest needs of their guests. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay, and are already talking about plans for another trip. A beautiful place to get away, we highly recommended Sharon and Tony's Altitude with Attitude for anyone looking for a picturesque retreat or an escape from the metropolis. Don't be afraid to set some lofty expectations, because between the comfy cabin and it's wonderful owners, you won't be disappointed!

Altitude with Attitude is the perfect description for this peaceful mountain cabin. The view of Pikes' Peak from the deck is beautiful and it is the perfect place for rest and relaxation. The cabin is just as described in the listing and shown in the photos. This owner has thought of everything you could need and then some, it has all the comforts of home. Very neat and clean and a cute cabin decor. The owner is very courteous and a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend this location to anyone wanting to just "get away from it all." We will definitely be returning next year.

My son & I spent the July 4th week at this cabin for my retirement get away. The cabin was well stocked with cooking utensils, updated appiances, towels, blankets etc., satelite TV & a great sound system. Just stop in town and bring your food!!! The views from the deck or breath taking with a large mountain range of 12,000 + peaks for veiwing. Its very quiet up their and all you hear is the wind blowing through the spruce trees. The trees smell fantastic even in the summer. Their or world class hiking trails and rock climbing in the area that or moderate to extreme. The climate is mild during the daytime and pleasant for hiking anytime. Be sure to bring some warm clothing even in the daytime because a thunder shower can lower the temperature down to 48 degrees in a hurry. If you want to go out to dinner Criple Creek is close by and has several Casino's with excellent restaurants and a mountain train ride. I've traveled all over Colorado, Estes Park, Aspen, Glenwood Springs and this area is just as beautiful and is moderatly priced. The owners or very courteouse and don't bug you at all. I will definitely be planning another trip to this cabin A.S.A.P!!!!

Owner response:We are so pleased you and your son were able to celebrate your well deserved retirement in our little mountain getaway. We appreciate the great comments about Altitude with Attitude and invite you to return as soon as your schedule allows.

Spectacular View!

We had a fabulous time, Sharon and Tony! Your cabin has a magnificent mountain view, is kept very clean and well-stocked. Each morning we welcomed a visit from ten deer exploring the property. The day before we left it snowed about six inches, allowing us to see spectacular winter beauty even in May! We enjoyed walking the trails and we'll be back! Thank you.

Perfect Getaway

Perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of busy life. Georgous views, very relaxing. Cabin has been very well equiped with everything -- it is like sneaking away and having the BEST host/hostess you have ever had. Thank you for thinking of everything! LOTS and lots of travel information available for the area attractions. The cabin is as described and as shown in the photos. Tidy and well maintained. We took in local attractions: pike's peak, garden of the gods, king's chef diner in Co springs, skyline drive in Canyon City, the winery there, ate at "Colorado Wines" place by the river, shopping in manitou springs....great fun! We will be returning (soon, I hope!) best time away in years!

The best maintained cabin we have ever stayed in. Wonderful response by owners, pictures awesome. The view is awsome, and animals come early in the morning and around 5 during middle of October. We want to come again!

We had a great, refreshing time, thank you! The view from the porch is every bit as lovely as the picture shows, and the cabin is comfortable and well appointed. It is a very peaceful and private setting and was just what we needed to relax. Also, some might be interested to know that my Sprint Overdrive (Internet wireless broadband modem) worked most of the time so I could deal with some email I had to without having to drive down.

Perfect vacation in Colorado

We just got back from a 10 day vacation staying at this cabin. The photos and description don't begin to show how homey and comfortable the cabin is. The cabin was very clean and so many extras were provided that it felt like being at home. The location was remote enough that you felt like you were away from the stress of everyday life, but within easy driving distance of many attractions and things to do. We were expecially pleased with all the information that Sharon and Tony provided on things to do in the area. They even had information on nearby hiking trails ranging from short and easy to longer and more challenging. Our 10 days went by so fast I can't believe it's over already. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone who is looking for a beautiful and peaceful place to relax and get away from the stress of everyday life. We can't wait to return.
