Absolutely beautiful place with wonderful views. My now husband and I wanted a small wedding with friends and family with a weekend stay and this was the perfect place for that! We got to see a lot of wildlife and the prettiest night skies! The host was amazing and responds very quickly to messages. I would absolutely stay here again!

Perfect place to bring a bigger family to enjoy Colorado. Deb was great on info for the area. She also gave us a heads up on roads being closed and a detour around it during our stay. Everyone had a good time during our stay.

Great Ski Trip!

We had an amazing time staying here for our Steamboat ski weekend! The cabin was very well equipped, Deb was a very gracious host, and the property was beautiful! We spent most of our time in Steamboat, however everyone wished we could have spent more time in house. It slept 15 comfortably and made the weekend that much more enjoyable! Highly recommend!

A great stay in a sublime scenic setting.

We had a wonderful stay at this spectacularly scenic home. We visited Rocky Mountain National Park while here and discovered that we enjoyed better views and saw more wildlife from our living room than at the National Park. Deb is a great host and has a wealth of information. The hikes on the property were spectacular with fall colors at their peak. We made many treasured memories and hopefully will visit in future.

5-Stars

Had a great time with friends and family out at the retreat. The cabin is amazing and provides a down-home cozy feel. Lots of room for activities and plenty of fun. If you have plans in Steamboat, just check the weather! The drive is a bit long, but beautiful and scenic. Plenty of wildlife and great staff nearby to assist in an emergency. Hoping to comeback sometime soon!

Magical Ski Retreat

This is a very special place and we were delighted to have the opportunity to enjoy it. Manager Deb gave us a fascinating orientation of the history and wildlife in the area and was extremely responsive and helpful. We skied the trails into the Routt National Forest and were completely taken by the landscapes and views of the valleys below. The cabin were clean, cozy and comfortable and the overall experience exceeded our expectations in every way. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a retreat unlike anything else.

Extended Family Stay

This is a gorgeous vacation home both inside and out. It had everything we wanted and more. Our party consisted of 10 adults, 2 children and all of our dogs. Deb is very accommodating and gracious. She took the time to enlighten us on the area and the work that is being done there for animal and fowl rehabilitation. We will definitely be returning.

Men’s Retreat

Our Young Adult Men’s Retreat stayed for three days, and we couldn’t have been more happy with our stay. When we first arrived, we were overwhelmed with the beauty and peacefulness of the property. The Cabin had more than enough beds, a large kitchen, and the most beautiful views we have ever seen. Deb was one of the nicest people we have ever met. She visited us in person to show us the property and assured us that we would be well taken care of. This property went above and beyond, and we would highly recommend this to anyone e with a large group or family.

Awesome place!

This house is perfect for a large group of people!! We saw so many animals just sitting on the back deck. It's a pretty magical place all around. The house could use some box fans (we purchased some ourselves, although Deb said she would go and get some for us) because airflow was minimal, and it was hot without AC (unusually warm weather, though). The directions, although detailed, through us off because it wasn't clear the house was BEFORE the address that was listed. I think they could be simplified and will lead to less confusion. ;) All in all, a great place to stay and we would return!

Great Family Getaway

Wanted to spend some family time together over the holiday break. Our stay was perfect! The house was very clean and had everything we needed from a plethora of bath towels to enough pots and pans for a small army! The views were spectacular! We had a great time outside in the snow building a snowman, having snowball fights and checking for animal tracks. Mama moose and calf frequented the warm water pond. In addition, we saw deer, elk, magpies, a hairy woodpecker, coyote, and the biggest, fattest snow shoe hares imaginable! When we needed to thaw, the cozy fireplace with plenty of wood, the pool table and games as well as three levels to spread out in provided fun for all. You couldn’t ask for a better host than Deb who provided info on everything from the house’s history and local wildlife to weather reports and places in Walden. Would recommend this place if you are looking for some downtime in a peaceful setting!

Perfect for our Family Reunion

The house is located on the west side of North Park with beautiful views. The spacious family room with large windows facing south offer exceptional wildlife viewing along with great scenery. Bedrooms were roomy, the kitchen was well equipped, and the extra refrigerator really was needed for us. All in all, an exceptional value. There are trails on the property as well as hiking trails nearby on the Forest allowing everyone with an opportunity to explore.

We loved staying here and Deb was a great host. The location of the property was superb with a mountain view and wildlife. The house was spacious and worked well for our family. We will hope to visit again someday, and wish we could have stayed longer.

This is our second time staying here and we love the peaceful surroundings. Sitting on the deck watching for wildlife. Playing games with the family. Deb is a great host and makes sure you have everything from propane to paper towels.
