Fabulous cabin for anybody
Guest: mscott1286
(Dayton, OH)
Date of Stay: 11/20/11
Review Submitted: 01/14/12
Just me and my wife for a week of vacation in beautiful Colorado and in this beautiful cabin. Definitely a ton of room to spread out. Probably could house 3 couples and kids. The setting was beautiful, it snowed a couple of nights. There are people that come to service the hot tub and clear the walkways. We didn't know this and were kind of surprised when men started shoveling the deck at the cabin, but they did not disturb us at all. The cabin is located at the top of a slight hill that when snow-covered makes it difficult to get your car up the driveway (we got stuck several times). Recommend four-wheel drive or a bigger car (we had a full-size rental). The sound system looked to be very impressive but there was no way (that we saw) to hook up our iPod to play our music. Same goes for hooking up our computers to watch movies via iTunes on the big-screens. Other than those few things our stay was amazing and very enjoyable. Kitchen was well-stocked with things to cook with as we didn't eat out much. Wood-burning stove was so warm and inviting, we used it almost every day. Overall, a big recommendation and we would stay there again in a hearbeat.

Great way to experience the Rockies

Review Submitted: 12/15/11
The home and property are both beautiful. It was very easy to deal with Chris and he was an extremely accomodating host. We visited in October and received an unexpected foot and a half of snow. Spent the next day alternating between sledding down the long drive way and sitting in the hot tub enjoying refreshments. It was a good day! It was our first trip to the Rockies and was able to do a lot of sight seeing, including Colo. Springs, Denver, Vail, Pike's Peak. The cabin was well equipped and all had a great time. Thanks Chris.

We chose this log home because of the reviews and because of the prompt emails and replies from owner Chris. He was very helpful. We arrived the day after our wedding. We didn't have too much of a plan other than to relax. And by relax that is exactly what we did. Spending evenings on the deck, enjoying time together in front of the fire place. This log home has it all. Not just the sauna, steam shower, hot tub, gas and wood fireplaces, pool table, board games, a tipi and large fire pit, but Chris and his wife (so sorry I can't remember her name) have gone to great lengths to make the stay comfortable. All we needed to bring were changes of clothes. As the kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans....even spices (for those nights you don't want to dine out). Worth every penny we paid, this was just an amazing experience. I really cannot think of one thing that we needed that was already there. The log cabin is just outside of Breckenridge (I think a 10 minute drive) but that was a great thing. The views we spectacular and the quiet of the night was just amazing. The cabin was very clean and very well maintained. While in Breckenridge we loved the food. Do not miss out on the chance to dine at Angel's Hollow, Epic Burger and The Breckenridge Brewery. Make sure to take the time to visit the Welcome center. As it has all kinds of history and visuals of the towns past. The people were all very friendly and not once did we seem to notice If you have the chance to try fly fishing head over to Mountain Anglers. Jackson and his team are amazing. We were on a guided trip (extremely reasonably priced) and had a blast. Hands down the most memorable and exciting thing we did on our honeymoon. Thank you Chris, the effort you put into your Log home really made every moment of our honeymoon the best that it could be. We hope to visit again.

Wonderful lodge for a family trip

Review Submitted: 08/23/11
We had a wonderful time at the this wonderful family lodge! My husband and I took my elderly father on this trip to Breckenridge so we knew we would be spending a lot of time at the vacation home we chose. I spend A LOT of time searching VRBO and other sites for the perfect place. I was very excited when I saw this home online because it appeared to offer us what we were looking for: A nice, large deck with great views; hot tub; plenty of space for our family to spread out; and a nice kitchen and large kitchen table. We weren't disappointed. The adults particularly loved sitting on the deck (over coffee in the morning or wine in the evening) and visiting while looking at the gorgeous views, and playing pool. The kids had a blast playing outside and roasting marshmallows over the campfire for s'mores. We also enjoyed visits from local wildlife--including a number of deer and even a black bear. This truly was a special place for a fun, relaxing multi-generational family vacation.

Right at home in Colorado

Review Submitted: 08/07/11
This cabin is a home run! This was our first experience with renting a home, and as picky hotel people we were a little apprehensive. Chris was so very helpful and quick with responses to all questions. The log home was comfortable (bedding, towels, furniture all well done), clean and had fun amenities to keep any group happy. We were in the hot tub everyday and the pool table was a hit! After all the fun adventures we found in the Breckenridge area the best part of our day was knowing we were coming "home" to such a great place!!! Thank you for sharing your awesome home!!

Everything about this cabin is perfect!! It is a secluded home with beautiful views. The many things provided for our use (felt like we were home), hot tub, fire pit, outdoor activities, pool table, games, movies, etc. The boys had a blast exploring in the forest in your back area. Everything helped make our vacation very memorable and one of our favorite vacations to Colorado. We hope to use your home again in the future. Also, very quick responses from the owner for any questions we had along the way. I have rented through VRBO in the past, and this process was definitely the best and easiest!!
