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!

We loved the location: it was absolutely beautiful and within a few miles from some great hiking trails. Close enough to Colorado Springs for a day trip but secluded enough for privacy. That part was wonderful. The only part we were disappointed with were our interactions with Tricia and David after we left. We had used the hot tub a total of three times and we were respectful of their property and rules. We kept it clean, didn’t put anything or spill anything in it, and covered it after each use. We even went above and beyond when cleaning up their property before check out- washing dishes, folding blankets, and loading the washer, etc. However after we left they claimed we had abused their hot tub and charged us an additional cleaning fee. At first I felt very bad about this, but after research I believe the condition of the hot tub was due to a lack of owner maintenance, not due to anything we caused. The hot tub looked fine while we were there and using it, the problem didn’t occur until after we left.

We also came home with a number of bites all over our bodies. When we expressed concern that these bites may be bed bug bites, they disregarded our comments saying that it was a rash caused from hot tub folliculitis from bacteria in their hot tub. As a health care professional I disagree with their statement. However whether they were bites from their bed or a rash from bacteria in the hot tub I felt as if the owners were at fault, not us. Hot tub folliculitis can be caused by a lack of adequate chemicals in the hot tub- which could have caused both our “rash” and what they claimed as “hot tub abuse” from us. When I expressed this concern to them they stopped responding. I felt that they refused to accept responsibility for their actions: that they lacked to care properly for their property, that we suffered because of their neglect, and that they then blamed us and forced us to pay compensation. We will not be staying with them again despite the beautiful area.

Owner's Response:

Logan and Stacey were mad that they lost half of their security deposit because of the condition that they left the hot tub. If i could post pictures here I would. It was disgusting. I had to drain and decontaminate the entire tub. My wife and I are both former military and I can assure you that we both know how to clean. The hot tub chemicals are checked and balanced per the maintenance schedule. Your comment about bed bugs is malicious. They wrote a great review in our guest book,

Beautiful views.

Just what we ordered. Comfortable living conditions and wonderful views. We went at the beginning of September and were able to see the trees changing colors. They were going from green to yellow and right when we were leaving the reds and oranges were starting to come out. Absolutely breathtaking. Multiple attractions within a 1-2 hour drive and the towns close by had everything you would need without having to go into the "city". It was a vacation well worth remembering. The owners were very accommodating.

Heavenly!

My husband and I live in Colorado Springs but needed a quick getaway for some much needed relaxation and this Hideout was PERFECT! The cabin is tucked in the trees with a beautiful and peaceful view. Hiking is close by, which was perfect, and so was the hot tub to heal our sore muscles after the hike. The cabin was stocked well, Dave & Tricia thought of everything. We felt like home for the 2 nights we were there and we would definitely go back again! If you are looking for a private mountain cabin for some relaxation, this is the perfect one!
