This was a spacious, clean and well equipped cabin. It has everything you need to enjoy a family vacation. It is close to so many fun things to do…river rafting, Jeep/ATV trails, hiking trails, hot springs, Royal Gorge, Salida, Buena Vista. This cabin also has a hot tub and fireplace for you to enjoy as well as the creek running behind the cabin. We sat on the deck in the morning with our coffee and watched the creek with the beautiful mountains behind it. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely stay! The cabin had everything we needed, with beautiful views and plenty of peace and quiet. We brought our teenage son and two dogs, and it was a wonderful getaway for the whole family.The hot tub was phenomenal, especially at night. On a clear evening, the view of the Milky Way from the hot tub was incredible and definitely one of the highlights of our stay.Communication was great, and everything went smoothly. We also spent some time fishing for trout at nearby Chalk Lake and had a blast. If you enjoy fishing, bring some butter worms. The trout loved them!Beautiful location, relaxing atmosphere, and a great place to unplug and enjoy the mountains. We would love to stay here again!

Wonderful place for a family

It was perfect! Beautiful location, nice rooms, and well- equipped. We were 4 adults. It was great for games, relaxing, very close to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, and near beautiful hikes. We didn't go to the Hot Springs, because the cabin comes with an excellent hot tub, which was sparkling clean. Loved this place!
