Located just 37 miles from Colorado Springs, nestled on 1.27 acres of tall pines and aspen trees, Paws in the Pines offers the perfect blend of modern convenience and natural beauty in this all-season cabin.
In an area known for natural beauty and abundant public lands, it can be your perfect base camp for all your adventures. The location is ideal for exploring the region’s riches, less than 30 minutes to almost everything the area has to offer from world class fishing, hiking, museums, history, gambling, great food, etc.
It’s close enough that you don’t spend all your time driving, yet it feels like a world away. To get to the cabin, your picturesque drive winds through hillsides adorned with elk herds, horses, yaks, Huerfano cows, miniature donkeys and more. Then, a short one-mile drive on a maintained dirt road brings you to your mountain oasis where you are surrounded by towering trees and welcomed into the tranquility and serenity of the mountains.
When you step inside, you are greeted by the rustic and somewhat quirky charm of the recently remodeled interior. Taking a cue from the numerous bear paw prints found in the snow when Paws in the Pines was first purchased, a theme developed. Embracing the wild spirit of Mother Nature’s mountain animals, each space is adorned with statues, wall hangings and pictures that pay homage to the diverse wildlife that call the mountains home.
This delightful retreat is adorned with wildlife accents and cozy furnishings carefully curated for comfort and character. In a bit of whimsy, the animals are even named.
Beautiful beetle killed blue stained pine are gorgeous feature walls in both the living room and bedroom where the focused lights highlight the unique character of the wood.
Your first fire in the woodburning stove is prepared and waiting for you. Just light the fire and settle in. The flickering firelight will invite you to snuggle up with a good book, good drink and a good time.
The well-appointed kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare your own special meal. The open floor plan allows cooking while still engaging with others, even watching the 55” smart television in the living room.
A vintage lawyer’s bookshelf offers many books, games and puzzles to fill your quiet time, or stay connected with our high-speed satellite internet by Starlink.
Romantic nights await as you reconnect with your loved one with firelight, flickering (non-flame) candles, adult libations, your favorite tunes and a little dancing in the moonlight on the wide-open floor. It doesn’t get any better than this.
During the days, relax on the gorgeous gated front deck where you can lounge in the loveseat, catch some sun and simply soak up the mountain vibe. Unwind and enjoy the sounds of nature through birds chirping, hummingbirds buzzing, leaves rustling and gentle whispers of the clean mountain air. Watch the wildlife as you blow bubbles off the enclosed back deck that features a barbeque, patio table and chairs, and a propane fire pit.
Dogs are welcome to snuggle on the numerous dog beds, blankets and bowls that are provided. Gated front and back decks allow them to enjoy their own unique experience. A large, fenced area adjacent to the cabin is dedicated just for our furry friends.
Later, step outside in the crisp mountain night and gaze up at a sky view that is internationally acknowledged as a Dark Sky Area. Moonbeams dance through the pine trees as you may hear the howl of wolves at the Colorado Wolf Sanctuary and Wildlife Center. Experience the tranquility as winter’s snow, illuminated by the moon, appears almost fluorescent.
Don’t miss out on the chance to experience the magic of this quaint cabin. It’s an enchanting haven that reminds you it’s time to take a break, create new amazing experiences and memories, reconnect with nature and embrace the simple joys of life.

We had the most relaxing time in this cabin! The hosts truly thought of everything. The cabin was beautiful and so clean, the fireplace was so magical and warm, and the area was quiet and peaceful. The stars were so bright at night too! We would definitely stay here again!
This is the second time we have stayed at this cabin, and it was just as wonderful as the first time! It’s so peaceful and secluded, but only a short drive from everything you could need. The hosts left us a lovely bottle of wine and treats for our dogs. They have thought of everything you might need while you are there. The bed is very comfortable and there were plenty of blankets. This is the first time we have ever rebooked the same cabin, so that really says a lot about this location. I highly recommend!
Paws in the Pines was a perfect retreat for us over Thanksgiving week. The owners are very attentive to every possible need for their visitors. They communicated well in advance and during our stay. I would highly recommend the cabin for anyone looking for a getaway in the area.
The cabin was amazing! Perfect for traveling with dogs!! They have truly thought of everything. We had an amazing time and look forward to coming back in the future!
Nice, clean, well decorated cabin with lots of extras provided by the host. Quiet neighborhood, close to many different attractions. Host was helpful and responsive. We really enjoyed our stay!
This was easily the best place to ever stay on my honeymoon!I would 100% recommend this place to anyone traveling! It was very quaint and had everything you could ever need!
This property was even better than advertised! Well appointed, very clean and attention to detail. Also was a great place if you are traveling with dogs. Can't say enough good things about the hosts-it is obvious they really care about the comfort of their guests. Would not hesitate staying there again.
Jody is an amazing host. She took the time to have personalized treats for our three puppers :) She thought of everything you could possibly need for your comfort and enjoyment! Our stay was exceptional and we definitely plan on returning.
Needed a quiet getaway from the noise and busyness and this property worked out perfectly! Very organized and well thought out setup. A great place to stay when traveling with your pet!
Fantastic property and property owners. We have stayed there numerous times and would recommend to everyone. Such a wonderful property with all the extras from the owners. Wonderful home you will love your stay.
We chose to stay at Paws in Pines for our anniversary, and everything was absolutely perfect. The check in process was seamless, and our hosts had wine and treats for our dogs! The entire cabin is so cozy, and obviously loved. We really couldn’t ask for a better experience, and look forward to returning in the summer. Thank you for a wonderful weekend!
The cabin and host were incredible. So many special touches that make staying there a perfect experience. Jody was great communicating and it is obvious she cares deeply about the guests!
My wife and I's stay at Paw in the Pines was wonderful! Our honeymoon in this cabin went so well, even if both of us weren't feeling the best! We had everything we needed, whether we were sick, desired to stay in, or travel the state. Jody communicated clearly with us, and even decorated for us newlyweds. 5 stars, and excited to come back in the future!
