Great location - cabin is nicely equipped with basic necessities. Couldn’t have a fire because of dryness in the area but loved the hot tub for achy muscles and relaxation. Would come again

Perfect for Weekend Getaway

Great little cabin! We loved the location as it was only 2 minutes from the Garden of the Gods - our intended destination. The place was perfectly clean and kept up. Hot tub was large and already preheated which was nice. I would definitely stay again if we came back to the area. My husband joked that we should have just taken the cabin with us :)
