Cozy Mountainside Cabin with Mountain Views

About Eric and Cari

Hi, we're Cari and Eric. We're excited to share our little cabin with you. A little about us... Cari grew up in South Florida and attended UF (Go Gators!) to earn her DVM and currently works as an emergency veterinarian for dogs and cats. Ever since skiing in Steamboat at the age of 15, she knew she wanted to live in Colorado. After an internship in NYC and 12 years in Pennsylvania, she took the opportunity to make it happen. Eric is a retired software architect and grew up in upstate NY in the Catskill region of the Hudson Valley. He attended RPI for Aeronautical Engineering, but decided to embrace his childhood interests and transferred to Marist College and graduated with a BS in Computer Science. Working in multiple industries took him from Atlantic City, NJ to Philadelphia suburbs. We met on EHarmony in 2005, and were married in 2015. In 2016, Eric decided to leave the IT industry, and it seemed the perfect time to make a bold move and come to Colorado with our English Pointer, Phoebe, who demanded the cabin be named after her. Since coming here, we have immersed ourselves in all that Colorado has to offer, including snow sports, hiking, biking, concerts and exploring. We've never looked back.

Why Eric and Cari chose Teller County

We bought Phoebe's Cabin after staying here just once in October 2017. We loved the cabin and the location so much, we put a bug in the owner's daughter's ear ("If you are ever looking to sell...") in December 2017. Word came back almost immediately that the property was for sale. We wound up buying our cabin in April 2018. We love the peace and quiet, the nature and the relaxing atmosphere and knew we had to share it with like-minded travelers. As soon as we had the keys, we started making it our own, and adding all the comforts we would want ourselves. The idea was to find the right mix of rustic, relaxing and simple combined with modern, comfortable appointments and features. We plan to keep making it better year after year!

What makes this Cabin unique

A huge covered deck to get out of the mid-July sun. The absolute peace and quiet. The inky black night skies that allow a spectacular view of the moon, stars and Milky Way. The distant howls of coyotes. The deer who nap under the deck. The hummingbirds who visit the deck about every 30 minutes (hoping, perhaps, that the string lights have turned into flowers). The simple comfort and the easy access to so many nearby activities. The myriad ways to lose yourself in nature. The way it's so easy to nod off and nap.
