While the cabin itself is very clean and well stocked, the description and photos portray a quiet secluded location. This wasn't the case. It was noisy and in very close proximity to other homes in a busy campground-like neighborhood. There was no view apart from other homes. We had hoped for peace and quiet, and instead heard dogs barking, neighbors yelling, and early morning chainsaws. Also, quite hot and stuffy in the summer, so come prepared.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the cabin very clean and well stocked. We’re sorry the location was not what you expected. The cabin is in a mountain residential community, not an isolated property, and there are neighboring homes nearby. We try to represent the property as accurately as possible in our listing and photos. We also want to clarify that the cabin does not have air conditioning, and air conditioning is not listed as an amenity. Mountain temperatures are usually cooler in the evenings, although there can certainly be warmer days during the summer. As for neighborhood noise, we unfortunately cannot control occasional barking dogs, neighbors, or daytime outdoor work in the surrounding area. We do, however, have quiet-hour rules for our own guests and do our best to provide a comfortable and peaceful stay. We appreciate your comments and are sorry the location did not meet the type of secluded mountain experience you were hoping for.

This was the most well-stocked rental property I’ve ever stayed in. It was very clean, and the owners were very responsive to messages. The layout didn’t quite match the description, but there were still more than enough beds for us. Overall, I would love to stay here again and highly recommend staying here!

We were so excited to stay at this log cabin. We were able to relax and settle in. The accommodations were great. The only hiccup was some of the neighbors dogs walk the property. And having a senior dog that goes out a lot usually at night made it bit uneasy because we couldn’t see them in the dark.

Beautiful Blackhawk Cabin

This cabin in the woods is definitely a cozy place to stay, iThe kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. The master bed was very comfortable & had beautiful views. I would definitely stay here again. The only thing I would note is the stairs are very steep to get onto the first floor, so it might not be a good place to go if you have trouble walking.

There are so many amazing things about the cabin including the porch, open living area, response time and location. Before we left for our trip I specifically messaged the host to ask if they had sheet pans available to use in the kitchen, because if they did not I would have brought mine, they responded yes. Unfortunately, when we arrived, there was only one circular pizza pan, no sheet pans. We were super bummed that all of the speakers on the porch do not work (per the owner). Also, ensure you bring slippers because they do not allow shoes inside the home, and there is no front door you have to enter through the garage and go up stairs. There is also no air conditioning. The only issue that we had during our stay was there is some kind of animal inside the wall on the main level bedroom that is VERY annoying at night and disturbing. We did not sleep both nights on the main level because of the constant noise. Cabin does have beautiful views!!

Thank you for your feedback and for mentioning the things you enjoyed about the cabin, especially the porch, open living area, views, location, and our responsiveness. We are very sorry you were unable to find the sheet pans. We do keep disposable baking sheets/trays above the refrigerator, but unfortunately our housekeeper forgot to place them inside the oven before your arrival. Had we known you could not locate them, we would have been happy to tell you exactly where they were. Regarding the outdoor speakers, they were intentionally disconnected due to local noise restrictions and concerns about parties. Quiet hours are strictly enforced after 10:00 PM, and because the speakers are no longer available for guest use, they are not advertised as an amenity on our listing. For clarification, the cabin does have a main entrance through the sliding door. Most guests choose to enter through the garage because that is where the parking is located, making it the most convenient entrance. We also ask guests to remove their shoes inside because the cabin has radiant-heated wood flooring, and dirt, gravel, snow, and moisture from the mountain environment can damage the wood flooring and its joints. The cabin does not have air conditioning, and this is disclosed in the listing. Regarding the noise you mentioned in the main-level bedroom, we took your concern seriously and went to the cabin to inspect the area. We did not find any evidence of an animal inside the wall or anywhere inside the cabin. Since this is a mountain property surrounded by wildlife, we believe the noise may have been coming from an animal outside the cabin. Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your experience. We are glad you were able to enjoy the beautiful views and many of the cabin’s features.

Cozy Christmas

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fabulous Blackhawk cabin for Christmas. The holiday decorations were lovely and the property was clean and well furnished. The location was convenient for our adult kids living in Denver to stay with us without a long drive and we enjoyed the proximity to Nederland with its shops and restaurants. Watching the Christmas Day snow fall through the large windows with a fire in the fireplace was magical!
