Charming cozy little cabin perfect for a couple .Does have a road right behind it on the hill but it's someone's drive way so not bad at all . Has a very nice porch with a great view.

Thank you for your great review and that you enjoyed the cabin. And thank you for leaving the cabin so clean.
The property was just lovely. So clean and decorated perfectly. The owner was so very sweet and obliging. I will be staying here the next time, I visit Woodland Park. Jane
Bev was a wonderful hostess. The cabin had a rustic feel to it and was a great place to stay. The bed was comfy; it had everything we needed in it; there was plenty of room; and it was very clean. It was great to be a little bit away from Woodland Park's busy downtown area too. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much for the great review. It truly means a lot when we get a response on the cabin and that the guests were satisfied and happy with their stay.
Loved this cute mountain cabin, The inside decor is awesome and the view from the porch is gorgeous. AC would have been nice as it was exceptionally hot during our stay. It did cool off a bit at night which helped.

Thank you so much for the great review. We greatly appreciate it and are so glad the cabin met all your needs.
Great location to all activities in area. Cabin was as described. Pantry well stocked. Owner & daughters stopped and was nice to meet these nice ladies. They provided yummy cinnamon rolls & cookies. Nice patio for morning coffee & evening wine. Comfy bed & pillows. Could use more clothes storage but other than that was perfect for a couple. Would recommend and would rent again if in that area.

Thank you for the wonderful rating on the cabin. It was such a pleasure to meet you and to see that you left the cabin so clean.
This is our second stay here and it was even better the 2nd time. We love the cabin, and Bev makes you feel like its your cabin while you're there,but always available if you need something. It is centrally located right outside Woodland Park but still tucked away on the mountain where the view and peace and quiet are abundant. Wildlife is around and the inside of the cabin is very comfortable and has everything you need. I thank the Lord for people like Bev who are so generous in sharing a piece of life that is so needed these days to renew your spirit and turn off all the noise. Thank you Bev.We will return God willing.

The perfect stay for our time in Colorado. The cabin was perfectly clean, cozy, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the mornings and evenings. The owners were very kind and we enjoyed talking with them. Very convenient to have a washer and drier and full kitchen. Simply cannot say enough good things about this cabin!

Great host, very nice and clean cabin nestled in the mountains but yet very convenient to shopping pikes peak, garden of the gods, royal gorge and cripple creek.
The cabin was very well stocked with everything we needed it was clean and comfortable. The location was great with lots of parks and trails to explore nearby. Also just a short drive to Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs. Bev was a great host.

This is an excellent place to pick for your Colorado Springs trip if you love a clean, beautiful, silent environment to live. Loved the stay and will come back.
We loved the cabin! Bev was a wonderful hostess and there wasn’t anything we needed that wasn’t provided. She even had homemade goodies waiting for us! If we’re ever back in Colorado Springs, we’d love to stay here again!

Thank you for the wonderful rating. Your rating means so much and I appreciate it.
The location was just a little bit out of town, which was perfect for us. We got cabin living in the mountains while still being 15 minutes from town. The cabin was absolutely perfect, quaint and fully stocked with everything you could need to cook a meal sans the food. Bev is a great host and was very accommodating. We saw deer everywhere and even some turkey! 10/10 will absolutely book the cabin again

About the host

We have lived most of our lives in Colorado with the exception of my husband Dave who was born here. We love this state because we are very active people and have found there is never a lack of things to do and the weather in Colorado is very desirable. Outdoorsy people, we love hiking, biking, hunting, horseback riding-you name it we love to do it!
