Wonderful!

Very nice
Great cabin fully stocked. Beautiful view. About 45 minutes from Rocky mountain national park. Worth it
Beautiful, cozy cabin!
My husband and I recently stayed at the Storm Mountain Retreat and our stay was absolutely amazing! The cabin was very clean and perfectly sized for the two of us. The scenery driving to the cabin as well as from the porch was breathtaking. We found everything we needed inside the cabin and enjoyed breakfast and dinners on the porch where we were visited by hummingbirds, mule deer, and even two turkeys. We can not say enough wonderful things about the cabin as well as its location to everything we wanted with hiking and local culture. We will definitely be coming back next year!
Fantastic Cabin!!!
My now fiancee and I (I proposed on the trip) loved this cabin! It was so cozy and clean!!! It was right next to RMNP and the view from the cabin was beautiful. We really enjoyed the collection of VHS tapes-so many great movies! There was also a convenient grill that we used. Definitely stalk up on food and water before you go as it is a fairly long drive from town. Above all, Julie was very responsive to all of our concerns!
Serenity on Storm Mountain
My adult daughter and I visited from south/centralTexas to attend a family wedding. Instead of staying in the hotel, we decided to enhance our Colorado experience by booking this perfect, peaceful cabin. Everything I mention below is well explained in the VRBO/Homeway description. There were no surprises.
There is no cell service -- not only at the cabin, but just about all the way up the mountain -- so make sure you have a good car navigation system (or print out directions) and have the password and key box code written down. You won't be able to use Google Maps or Waze on your phone. This is part of what was endearing about the place! Going up or down the mountain after dark was scary like a Stephen King novel (!), but it was a fun adventure.
The cabin was exactly as described in the listing. One bedroom with a queen-size (?) bed. One bathroom with shower. Fully-equipped kitchen. Bring drinking water.
There is no television signal, cable or satellite dish. Just a whole bunch of old movies on VHS. The WiFi was spotty and slow. But we didn't go there to get broadband. Again, these are the things that make the cabin all the more endearing.
We hiked Devil's Backbone trail one day and saw wildlife and beautiful rock formations. The trail head is very near. It was challenging for me because of the altitude, but it was not a difficult trail.
The entire trip was wonderful. Thank you, Julie, for welcoming us to your cabin. :)
Remote and serene.
We enjoyed our short stay at this remote location and would have liked it to have been longer. If you want quiet away from the constant sound of city life this is the place for you. The scenery is beautiful, the cabin was clean, directions were spot on and communication was smooth with the owner. The home is equipped with everything you need except personal hygiene items and food and there was even some of that in the pantry from previous occupants. Take the owners advice (and ours) the cinnamon rolls at Glen Haven General Store were amazing and worth the short 10 min drive!
Peaceful Escape
If you're looking for a high-end fancy retreat this is not your place. However, if you want a cozy place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life this just might be where you should go. The cabin was a nice escape from our busy every day lives. While there we saw deer, turkey, and various birds from the front deck. The sunrise is also amazing. Our only real complaint was not with the cabin at all but the road to the cabin. It is a 2 mile mostly dirt road that is extremely steep and extremely windy with numerous switchbacks. We drove a dually pickup truck so navigating with oncoming traffic proved challenging at times. The first night we arrived it was already dark and my husband absolutely refused to travel it again in the dark after that. While the road is challenging with large vehicles it is doable. A four-wheel drive will be required during winter months. Just something to keep in mind as you are planning.
