About this property

Meek's Hill Cabin in Marble, Colorado is located at an altitude of 8000 feet in the midst of cool, towering pines, with views of 13,000 ft. peaks. Deer frequently wander through the property and bears have even been known to knock on the door. Feisty hummingbirds compete for their share of nectar from the feeder. Nature is literally on your doorstep! Since there is no light pollution in this small community, the starry skies will amaze you! In addition to this, you have all the comforts of a luxury condo. Our cabin is easily accessible but away from trains, planes and highways. Four-wheel drive is not necessary.

Marble, a very small community, is a great central location for exploring the beautiful places of western Colorado. Within a two hour drive you can visit the orchards and vineyards of Paonia, the stunning Black Canyon of the Gunnison River, Colorado National Monument in Grand Junction, the Roaring Fork River valley and Aspen, Independence Pass and the Snowmass Wilderness. Best of all, our own Crystal River Valley.

If you are looking for the perfect place to experience nature at its best, Meek's Hill Cabin IS the perfect place! Sorry, we cannot accommodate dirt bikes or ATV's. We are closed for the hunting season.

Wonderful get-away!

Tom and Kay, our hosts, have created a lovely spot to unplug and soak in the beautiful view and the silence of the valley. Sitting on the deck in the evening was a delight. They have thoughtfully furnished their cabin with everything we needed. The bed was comfortable with quality linens and lots of pillows. The kitchen was well stocked. We particularly appreciated their friendliness and their suggestions of places to go and things to do! Helped to make our mini-vacation just what we needed.

Perfect!

My husband and I stayed here while our daughter attended Treasure Mountain Bible Camp. It was quiet, peaceful, and the perfect place to get a respite from a very busy summer. The house is clean and very comfortable. We came prepared with a load of groceries and had all the cooking utensils we needed. Would definitely recommend! Thank you so much Tom and Kay for sharing this wonderful spot!

Amazing! We Will Be Back!

My husband and I wanted to get out of the city and away from the heat. This cabin, the owners and the entire community and experience was above and beyond our expectations. This property is only something to behold in person. That to say that the pictures do not do it justice. We are already talking about our return trip next summer.

Beauty and tranquility

This beautiful home in the mountains was way more than we expected!! Marble is such a beautiful little town! Our hosts were so helpful in things to do around the area and attentive to every little detail in the house. The deck overlooking the mountain was our favorite spot to be. If you like to hike there are so many beautiful trails around Marble and surrounding towns. We definitely will be back again.

Meek’s Hill Cabin

Enjoyed every minute of our stay! Tom and Kay are amazing and have really provided a perfect little place for anyone looking to spend some quality quiet time away from the noise most of us experience far too much. I really can’t say enough other than keep this area what it is. It is a clean and quiet community. It is not a place to be obnoxious or be noisy. There are many other places that cater to that!

The perfect getaway.

Meeks Hill Cabin By far one of the best adventures I’ve had since I was a little girl wondering off the grid in Mexico. Dirt roads, no cell phones, and just endless adventures. The fall trees were absolutely beautiful, and the sea of mountains seemed as if you were looking at a painting. I came for solitude, and this place delivered. It felt like home and I can not wait to be back.

Great Experience

This rental home was terrific. It offers a beautiful mountain view and a fenced backyard that is an exploratory delight for dogs. The furnishings and bed were comfortable and we had all we needed and more regarding kitchenware. It is uncommon for us to revisit vacation destinations but we are interested in returning here for a longer stay. The hosts were ideal -- attentive, responsive and knowledgable about the area's offerings.

Cute cabin in the mountains

Great location to experience all that Marble has to offer. Tom and Kay are in another house on the property and are a wealth of knowledge on the area. The cabin is clean comfortable and has everything you need for a fun stay. Private with a great view and abundant wildlife including deer Fox and frequent visits from a black bear.

Breathtaking and Beautiful

If you are looking for a place to get away and see nature, this is the place. The cabin is beautiful surrounded by mountains. The location is in the little town of Marble Colorado complete with a great BBQ restaurant and a short walk to the Crystal River. Bring food to cook as it's a way to a grocery store. Pet friendly is a plus.

Beautiful cabin, beautiful views!

Comfortable, peaceful and a lovely view can either be experienced from inside the cabin or sitting outside on the deck. The welcoming committee (hummingbirds) provide visitors with endless entertainment. The owners are such nice and friendly people. They are a wealth of knowledge about the town of Marble along with other activities in the surrounding area. This is a must stay location and we hope to come back often.

We loved our stay in Marble

The Meek’s Hill cabin in Marble was just as pictured and described on the VEBO website. Kay and Tom were easily accessible for any questions we had prior to and during our stay. We loved the peacefulness of Marble and the privacy of the property. We saw a fox on the property, many chipmunks, and hummingbirds. I would Definitely recommend this for older adults or a family with no children. We took a day trip to Aspen and Snowmass which was only about one hour away.

Amazing getaway

This property is wonderful. Tom and Kay are the perfect hosts. They made us feel just like family. Their knowledge of the area and the information they provided ahead of our visit made planning so easy. The cabin is spotless and everything one could possibly need is provided. A very secluded, quiet area with amazing views. The front deck with the mountain view, beautiful flower planters and entertaining hummingbirds would be enough in itself. Many activities in the area but our favorite was just enjoying the opportunity to get away and soak in the peace and quiet. Looking forward to a return visit!!

About the host

Hosted by Kay Williams

Our love of Marble and the area around it goes back to the 1980's when we purchased our first property here. At the time, we believed this was the perfect getaway from our busy Denver lives. We have enjoyed our travels to Europe, South America, Mexico and throughout the U.S., but still appreciate Marble's beautiful and unique setting. Tom's career as an enrollment management consultant has taken him to colleges and universities across the country. Kay enjoyed a career as an elementary teacher. We now call Tucson 'home', but spend summers in Marble working in the gardens, playing with our two small dogs, reading and enjoying the great outdoors. We also enjoy hosting family gatherings at our Marble home.

Why they chose this property

After moving to Denver in the mid-1980's we bought a pop-up camper and set out with our young son to explore Colorado on weekend camping trips. Eventually, we discovered the Crystal River valley and Marble. We sold the camper, built our home and have never regretted it. The Crystal River valley is some of the the most beautiful, pristine country you will ever see. Fly-fishermen love the river. Hikers and horsemen love the trails. The back roads to Crystal City and Lead King Basin are a feast for the senses. Photographers can't get enough of the scenery, wildflowers and wildlife. We love it for the views, fresh air, great water and the occasional bear that wanders through the yard. Marble is special.

What makes this property unique

One RV camping spot next to the cabin enables friends, parents or in-laws to share your time in Marble. $20.00 camping fee for 2 people per night. Each additional person over age 12 is $5.00. Check out for RV is also 11:00 am. Electric and water, no dump station.
