About this property
*Upper* Aspen Lakehouse Cabin at Skagway Reservoir
Upper Aspen Lakehouse is a beautiful country cabin located on approximately 80 peaceful acres surrounded by aspen trees. The views from the front deck are spectacular, offering vistas of Pikes Peak, Skaguay Reservoir, and the surrounding mountains. It's great for unwinding and enjoying the views, or a comfy place to crash after a long day of hiking in the stunning Colorado wilderness.

Amazing location!! More amazing host!! We enjoy everything about this home and Carolyn like our previous stays has been awesome. Highly recommend this location for anyone that wants to get out in the wilderness and truly enjoy Colorado for what it is or just looking to get out of the city and relax.
Everything about this mountain home is amazing!! So peaceful with beautiful views, plenty of room in the house, and the most amazing host. Carolyn is awesome!!! We can't thank her enough for everything she did for us to make our stay just that much more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back to visit this wonderful getaway.
We had a great time!! The house is great and has everything you need. It is remote and the road is rough but if you are looking to get away and have a peaceful relaxing time in nature it is perfect.
We had a wonderful stay at the upper lake house and the Aspen lake house! The homes are beautiful and have everything you need to create an amazing vacation. We will definitely rent again!

We enjoyed our time secluded in the mountains. It was nice to explore the property and area and we had a great time at area attractions. We were looking for a quiet spot in the mountains and this cabin was perfect. Thank you!

Clean, beautiful, awesome place to get away from it all.
This was a great getaway. The house is clean and has everything you need. The view is spectacular. We saw deer, turkeys, and two bears. Great place to unwind.
Property was great. Neat cabin with picture perfect views. Awesome place for retreat or if you want to stay put. We did activities in Manitou Springs, Pikes Peak, Garden of Gods and Old Colorado City. Plan on 1.5 hours each way to reach these spots.

So glad you enjoyed the cabin with the scenery! And those are all fantastic activities. A little bit of a drive, but the scenery on the way up is always worth it!
This cabin was such a blessing to come back to after a long day hunting. We got to cook a nice dinner using the well stocked kitchen and then relax in front of the TV and we all had comfortable beds with lots of space for our stuff. Location was so convenient to the reservoir and creek with amazing views. We definitely would stay here again!
Thanks so much!

Just bring food, fishing gear, clothing, and your eyes and ears to behold Colorado's great outdoors!
Hi Carolyn, thanks for the feedback! Yes, sadly, the county road to our house isn’t often great. As we discussed, the county doesn’t employ enough people to grade the road often enough, but hopefully that will change soon!
Y’all are welcome back anytime, and thanks for staying with us!
If youre looking for nice, modern, yet somewhat remote, this is the place. Some reviews say 4×4 vehicle required, this is not the case, it is on a dirt road and drive is dirt/gravel and some what steep. More than doable.
If you are looking for secluded beauty, this is it! While we were there deer and turkeys came by. We sat out on the deck and had the wonderful scenery right in front of us. Only the birds and the Aspens to listen to. The beds were comfy and the furnishings we beautifully decorated. We were sorry to leave so soon.
This property is just as described in the listing - secluded, quiet, and in the mountains. The property was beautiful, seclusion just what one may need, and the amenities were just right. The owners were quick to respond and work with us when if/when we came across an issue or complication. They Even reached out to the housekeeper for NYE activities for our kids when asked. We typically try to find somewhere new each time we travel, but this is most definitely a place I hope to be able to return in the summer.

Picturesque View
Great cabin in the middle of nowhere. If you're looking for privacy with a nice place to fish and watch wildlife this place is for you. If you're wanting to do more touristy things I suggest a place closer to the tourist attractions, ie: Air Force Academy, Pikes Peak, white water rafting, Manitou Springs and such. It's a long drive wherever you go.

This is the place for peacefulness, beauty, relaxing and enjoying the quiet and exciting great outdoors!
The house was amazing! If you are looking to get away from the chaos of a busy city this is the place you want to be. It is located about 30 minutes from any type of town on the side of a mountain. It has all the amenities of a hotel with tons of space, walk around porch and beautiful views of a near by lake and mountain range. Gas stations are about 30-40 minutes away and 45-60 minutes for any type of restaurant/ fast food. Also the road to the house is dirt and there is a steep incline up to the house. Overall it is worth every penny!

Hi John, we're so glad to hear that y'all enjoyed your stay! Thank you for your detailed/thoughtful review and your kind words! Please come back to visit us again sometime.
The lake house cabin was amazing! We had a great time and enjoyed it. No regrets at all. The views were wonderful and exceptional. Any picture or video does do justice to what your eyes can see. However, there are 6 miles of unpaved road before getting to the cabin address and must drive up a steep way to get to the cavin itself so I recommend a 4X4.

About the host
Hosted by Carolyn Santa Maria
These homes mean the world to us; the scenery, the nature, the disconnection from the rest of the world is unmatched. We love being able to share that with you.
Why they chose this property
The stunning views of the mountains and the lake drew us in. Upper Aspen Lakehouse has an incredible deck to be able to view the expansive scenery, and out the back windows is a magnificent aspen forest, which is so peaceful. While there are neighbors, they are not close enough to bother, and you get peace and quiet when you stay at our homes.
What makes this property unique
What truly sets Upper Aspen Lakehouse apart is the combination of space, privacy, and flexibility—something that’s hard to find in mountain rentals.
Set on approximately 80 private acres and surrounded by aspens, the property offers a rare sense of seclusion while still being close to some of Colorado’s most iconic destinations. Guests can walk to Skagway Reservoir for fishing and kayaking, enjoy unobstructed views of Pikes Peak from the deck, and experience the kind of quiet that’s increasingly hard to come by.
For larger groups, the option to rent both Upper Aspen Lakehouse and the nearby Aspen Lakehouse—just 150 yards away—creates a unique setup for multi-family trips, retreats, or gatherings. Together, the two homes comfortably host up to 18 guests while still allowing each group their own space and privacy.
Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for both connection and comfort, with multiple living areas, a fully stocked kitchen, and room for everyone to spread out. Whether you're planning a family getaway, a friends’ trip, or a special gathering, the layout makes it easy to be together without ever feeling crowded.
It’s this blend of natural beauty, flexibility, and intentional design that keeps guests coming back year after year.
