Overview
Beautiful 3BR/2BA Mountain Home, sleeps 6
'Deer Meadow Retreat': This beautiful mountain hideaway is tucked away in its own private valley near the end of a cul de sac road where the only passersby will be you. The meadow is graced with wildflowers and frequently visited by wildlife including deer, fox and occasionally a bear. Relax on the front deck and take in the panoramic views of pine and aspen forests on the surrounding hillsides. Soaking in the hot tub on a moonless night will open up another world, with more stars in the sky than you could have ever imagined.
And yet, your vacation paradise is conveniently located between Divide and Cripple Creek, less than a mile off the main highway, on a county maintained road that is easily accessible year round. You are only 45 minutes from Colorado Springs, 10 miles from historic Cripple Creek, and surrounded by state parks, hiking trails and back road jeep trails.
The home features new paint inside and out, new carpet and flooring, including ceramic tile, and many luxury items such as an Italian leather sofa and new pillow top mattresses. The decor is a warm mix of Southwestern and Mexican art, making each room a different experience of color and flair.
After a busy day of activities or visiting the many local tourist attractions, you can wind down in front of your beautiful Southwestern tiled gas fireplace, enjoying dish TV, your own DVDs or some of ours. The bedding is comfortably set up with 3 Queens.
You will never want to leave the Colorado Rockies after a few days at our 'Deer Meadow Retreat'!!

About Gay and Gary Liberty
Gay and Gary Liberty have recently moved to Woodland Park and personally manage and maintain their three vacation rental cabins in the Pikes Peak area. Gary is retired from Air Force Reserves and his civil service career as an aircraft mechanic. Gay has many years of experience in the hospitality field in both resort marketing and hotel reservations and front desk. They are delighted to share their love of the Colorado mountains and their love of each special cabin setting to ensure a memorable and relaxing vacation experience for their guests.
Gay and Gary Liberty purchased this house in 1998
Why Gay and Gary Liberty chose Divide
At the time when Deer Meadow Retreat was built, Gay...a mountian gal at heart...had been living in Divide and in the Rainbow Valley development for several years. Having some extra cash to invest, she shopped for quite some time to locate the right piece of land for the home she had personally selected as well. The intent was to rent the house conventionally, which she did for several years. Everything changed once she and Gary, now married, decided to update the house and rent it as a vacation rental because, for several years they had been living in Peyton, CO and for the first time they could enjoy the cabin and the location themselves!
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi Gay and Gary
Well, we’ve been home for a week, and I wish I was still there in Colorado. We had a great time, and your cabin was wonderful. We had time to relax, time to explore, time to play, and time to re-connect. We had deer, elk, a fox, more deer, raccoons, and something that I’m not sure what it was (a pair of eyes peering at me at night, definitely not a hoofed creature) at the cabin.
It was 106 degrees in Riverside today.
I’ve got to figure out a way to spend more of my summers in Colorado.
Thanks again for sharing your cabin with us.
Blessings,
Tony

Very Quiet and Relaxing!
This was a very quiet and relaxing place to stay. The property was clean and well stocked. We have 4 kids ranging in age from 5-14 and enjoyed every minute. It was far enough from other houses that you didn't have any noise, which is surprising considering that there is a busy highway only a short distance away. The only problem we had was that we have a large diesel truck and couldn't make the hairpin turns to get to it and into the driveway. We had to make several tries at it backing up and going forward again. But it could not be helped, and was definitely worth it! There is a nice little grocery store just a few minutes away. We also really enjoyed the hot tub. My kids all had a blast! We would definitely recommend it to anyone!
Perfect Getaway
My boyfriend and I stayed the weekend before Valentine's day and had an amazing and relaxing weekend. The property is very clean and the house is cozy and comfortable. Upon arriving I ran around the house squeaking in excitement and taking everything in. Gay and Gary provided everything we needed from kitchen supplies to towels and toiletries. They also had wildlife guides and a binder full of nearby trails with maps and attractions which came in really handy as we didn't get cell reception and hadn't planned our outings beforehand. I loved that there was no cell service (t-mobile), it really added to the feel of "getting away from everything." We took advantage of the hot tub every chance we could get, and loved looking out over the porch to the beautiful views, especially after it had snowed. We even got to watch a fox trotting around the property! There are some other properties visible from the porch, but they were far enough away that we felt secluded. I also loved the fireplace and extra blankets as I get cold very easily. There were plenty of books, games, and movies to keep us entertained when we felt like staying in, and great sights to see when we wanted to explore. It was the perfect getaway spot and we loved every minute of our stay!
Simple, Clean and Quiet; Nice Location!
This home is simple, clean and quiet. We sledded out back on a very steep hill. (Oh my goodness, it was steep and FAST! )The hot tub was lovely on a moonless night; we saw a shooting star on New Year's Eve! The location is very convenient and I would definitely recommend this rental. My only suggestion is that the owner put in another comfy chair for the living room and that they repair the dryer. (It works, but doesn't get hot enough to dry the towels in a timely manner.) Other than those two little things, we LOVED it!
Quiet!
Wonderful spot in between Divide and Cripple Creek. Great location in the valley, saw plenty of deer and wildlife off the back deck. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great size, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything you'd need. Super clean. And the bed in the master is insanely comfortable.
That driveway is no joke, though! Our SUV was totally fine, but I can see smaller cars or ones with no AWD having issues.
Great access to Cripple Creek and hiking in Mueller SP or Raspberry Mountain. Would stay here again!

Owners were awesome . It was very nice ,secluded ,quiet. Hummingbirds and deer were awesome . Nice deck for relaxing . Easy ride to Pike's Peak and Cripplecreek.
A great time!
My wife and I spent two nights here. We had a great time! Plus, Cripple Creek casinos are a short distance down the road. All I can say is this place was well kept, peaceful, and relaxing. This was our reconnaissance trip to scope the area out. We will certainly be back.
