About Tricia and Dave Krempasky
My husband and I are originally from Ohio near the Cleveland area. We moved to Colorado after living in Fort Worth Texas for several years due to literally falling in love with the area on a vacation trip. Colorado is now our home! We have come to learn that the area is gem and mineral rich with some finds in our own driveway of smoky and bull quartz! We have since joined the Lake George Gem and Mineral Club to learn more! We still live in the area, there is no way we could leave!
Tricia and Dave Krempasky purchased this cabin in 2014
Why Tricia and Dave Krempasky chose Cripple Creek
On a vacation trip from Fort Worth, TX west toward Yellowstone National Park and back through Colorado in 2013, my husband and I were smitten with mountains of Colorado. We knew instantly that we were destined to move to Colorado and within six months had bought this property as our new mountain getaway. As we enjoyed our new home away from the heat and congestion of Texas, we found ourselves wanting more. We began to look at land to build a home with rental cabins to be able to share our gift of hospitality with others who have yet to discover this beautiful place. We soon realized that we had a gem of a place already! The views from our little place rivaled any that we had seen in our search. So we decided to purchase a new home in the same area and found we could not part with our previous piece of heaven we had grown so fond of! So we decided to share this home with others who could enjoy the little piece of Colorado we have come to love so much!
What makes this cabin unique
We could not bring ourselves to part with this property because of the magnificent views, the proximity to the quaintest little town of Cripple Creek, as well as the larger town of Colorado Springs. The weather is so mild in the summer that an air conditioner is not even needed! The sun shines over 300 days per year, the air is clean and the views, did I mention the views!
Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Cave of the WInds and Seven Falls are just some of the attractions close by! And if you love hiking, ATV riding, mountain biking or rock hounding, this is the place for you!
Horsethief Trail is a half a mile from here with horse thief falls and pancake rock trail as well as the Crags and Ring the Peak trail not that much farther! There is so much to do and see here, one week may not be enough time!
The towns of Cripple Creek, Manitou Springs, Lake George are a short distance away.
The Hideout is located on one of the recommended drives to see the Aspens change colors as well! check out this link:

Excellent!

Beautiful, relaxing weekend.
Such an enjoyable and relaxing stay. The owners are awesome with great information. We will stay again.
Great - cozy - beautiful setting - Hot tub
This property is great for 2 - with a little imagination you will find room for all your stuff. Loved the clean hot tub and used it daily. Views were awesome. It snowed 2 days we were there and we loved it. The sound system was awesome, loved the speakers next to the hot tub. Horse thief trails around the corner was a challenging hike. Visited Cripple Creek for a little casino action. All of our trips with VRBO have been good to great.
Beyond our expectations!
Property was exactly as advertised. Far enough away to give the privacy wanted but close enough to towns. We loved the hot tub daily. Super clean. The owners paid attention to the little details. They was a fantastic getaway to reconnect with your loved one.
Loved it!
Nothing bad to say about this quaint/cozy little place nestled in the woods. Definitely be back...we hope!?!?!?!
Won't be using VRBO again...first and the last time.
The “Hideout” views are beautiful from the short time that I was there and could enjoy. We were supposed to be there for 6 nights. Unfortunately, I and my partner could not stay after a very short time (hour and a half). I feel I should warn other unsuspecting travelers like myself about this property and VRBO. I have very bad allergies to perfumes and dyes. I can usually handle a small amount but due to the size of this property 768 sq. ft. and having two air fresheners going off continually, the property reeked of it. Knowing my limitations, I travel with a rescue inhaler, nebulizer machine and an oxygen meter. If you don’t know about these types of allergies, when you have an attack, your bronchial tubes in your lungs restrict and cause you not to be able to breathe, which then drops your oxygen level. So, between the fumes and the elevation it caused an unsafe environment for me. We did try opening windows with fans that were blowing out to help with the fumes but everything was so saturated with it, it was unsafe for me to stay. I did buy trip insurance through VRBO(home away)but apparently, the wrong one. This does not pay for things like allergic reactions to the environment, only for natural disasters or issues before you reached your destination. This was our first time using VRBO or anything like it. A friend of mine suggested it instead of using hotels. Though I must say here, I have never had allergic reaction to staying at a hotel. I’ve traveled the world through work and have been to other mountain regions like Yellowstone and the Cascade mountains. It took me 5 days, 1,000 miles home, two hotel stays and a trip to the doctor to recover from our experience and out over 1,000 dollar. I did ask the owners before the trip what type of laundry soap they used due to my allergies to perfumes and dyes and they were very accommodating on washing the bedding and towels in perfume and dye free laundry soap. This however, does not negate all the perfumes from the air freshener that then saturates it all over again. So, if you don’t have allergies to such thing, I hope you enjoy your stay. Due to my experience with the whole thing I will not be using VRBO again. I will be staying in hotels and the trip insurance is a waste of money in my mind. Must also say the owners of the property did refund a portion of my money, not what “I thought” we agreed upon, as they say, live and learn. Hope this will help's unsuspecting individuals.
The Horse Thief Hideout - A Peaceful Cabin in the Woods
My husband and I wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary in a quiet cabin in a quiet location. The Horse Thief Hideout was just the place. Cozy, Colorado decor and a wonderful King Foam Bed was the best. Great sound system, Direct TV and beautiful view of the mountains, sky, stars and full moon making our celebration that much more special. The cabin is clean and well equipped so no stress if you forgot something. We did not use the hot tub so I cannot comment on it. Our contacts with Dave Krempansky was responsive, professional and to the point. All our needs were met. Clean, peaceful, attractive and comfortable. We would return. Please note, it is a cabin for two. Plenty of space for two adults.
Map
Horsethief Hideout is located on the western slope of Pikes Peak. only 1/2 mile from the trailhead for Horsethief park which includes Horsethief Falls and Pancake Rocks and gives you access to Ring the Peak trail. 5 miles North to The Crags and Mueller State Park.
The historic mining town of Cripple Creek is 8 miles south with 9 casinos. The Heritage Center is a must see and open year round. Take a tour of the Mollie Katleen gold mine (seasonal) Explore the wonders of The Fossil Beds National Monument located on Teller 1.
We recommend Bronco Billy Steakhouse, reservations required so call ahead to book a special dinner. We also recommend Pho 54, run by our friends Liu and Anna. Great Vietnamese noodle soup! If it's your birthday, we can tell you which casino's have be the best freebies.
You can summit Pike's Peak via Manitou incline, the Cog train (seasonal), or Pikes Peak Hwy, or enjoy an afternoon at the Garden of the Gods, go spelunking in the Cave of the Winds, visit Seven Falls, all of which are located less than hour from the property.
