Overall, I was very happy with the cabin. But, there is a strong skunk smell as you enter the cabin. I had candles with me that helped. Also, there are a lot of cob webs all over the cabin. Looks like it could use a thorough cleaning.

Thank you so much for your feedback! The skunk smell had been an issue about a week ago and we have tried and tried to find out what is going on with no luck. I did put an air purifier in which had been helping but maybe that needs a new filter. I am sorry about the cobwebs...this time of year is a bit tougher up here in the mountains! Hope you enjoyed your time. Tannah Snow Lakeview Property Management

This property was perfect for our stay ! The view of the lake and mountains as you walk out the front door is stunning. The cabin is small but perfect for the 2 of us as a home base to enjoy all the beauty and adventure in the area.

Best Lake City Accomodations

This cabin is feet from Lake San Cristobal with an amazing view down the Alpine Loop. Wildlife abounds. Highlight of the trip was quite moments sitting on the porch or around the fire pit. The accommodations helped make this our favorite trip to Lake City. Kitchen was usable and equipped. Bedroom was warm and comfortable. I can't say better things other than a few run-ins with spiders.

Nice little place, but tons of opportunity

We spent 3 nights in this very cute little cabin. Pros - Location is perfect as it sits right on the Alpine Loop, Views - I could spend every evening for the rest of my life sitting on the porch looking over the lake and mountains, Clean - It is very clean and charming little cabin, great for a weeked get away. Cons - Comfort - The futon couch and chairs in the TV area are not comfortable at all and the plastic over the dining room table chairs make that seating less than desirable, Dated - the furniture throughout the property is very dated, and could be updated. At the end of the day, I would recommend this cabin for a short stay. However, if this were our VRBO we would invest a few thousand dollars and make it more comfortable and updated. So much promise in this little place and it could truly be AMAZING if someone were to invest just a little bit of time and money into it. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We hiked 14ers each day and it was nice to have a home base that was close and convenient to everything!

Magic in the Rockies

This was easily on of our most favorite vacations and the setting and the cabin were perfect for it. The view from the front porch each morning or next to the campfire at night was nothing less than inspirational. The 5 nites we spent there flew by. There was absolutely NOTHING that we wanted for in this cabin. Its much more roomy than the photos appear, and has a very well equipped kitchen, and all the supplies. The lake was very nearby and a small place to park our kayaks for our morning paddle on a pristine glass mountain lake surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in colorado. The bed was comfortable. You could easily fit 4 or 5 persons there but...with two it was perfect. The place was immaculately clean and so many little touches such as maps to the hiking, guides to the area, games and puzzles, dry wood for the campfire, a few blocks of firestarter, a great gas grill, a full size fridge and freezer. Did I mention the views? Thank you for hosting us in this beautiful place. I am quite certain we will be back and for longer next time. john and jennie

Great location and comfortable

We were pleasantly surprised by the roominess of the cabin. We’ll supplied. Nice touch was the gas grill and a supply of fire wood for the fire pit. Location was great near the lake.
