The cabin was a very sweet place to stay. Please note that guests will not have internet access once they pass through Cotopaxi so they need to have the lock box code available/written down. We had a fantastic time and Zoe was a great and very responsive host! The property is very fun to explore and the night sky is gorgeous.

Hello! Yes, Cotopaxi is a small mountain community and connectivity isn’t available during part of the drive from town. It’s a great place to explore and spend time relaxing. The clear night skies are one of the best experiences there. Hope you can come back again. Thanks. Zoe

We stayed 3 nights over Thanksgiving weekend. The cabin is warm and welcoming, and the property is beautiful with great rocks and views. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need to make your own meals. Our dog loved running around and sniffing out animal tracks. We visited Bishop’s Castle and The Great Sand Dunes and the weather was sunny and in the 50’s so it was nice for driving to longer adventures. Highly recommend any time of year, but if it snows you will need 4WD for sure!

About the host

Hosted by ZOE GRANT

Host profile image
I came to Colorado over 20 years ago after spending most of my life in upstate NY. Colorado winters are quite mild in comparison!

We enjoy spending quality time together as a family from game nights, our kids' sports, to visiting with family and friends. We have 3 kids with two in high school, and one in middle school. In addition to having 3 children, we have two dogs (both rescues.) We have been fostering dogs for almost 6 years and have rescued 25 and counting!

The picture is from us rafting on the Arkansas River. It's so much fun!!

Why they chose this property

Things can get a bit hectic and we have wanted to have a little slice of Colorado in the mountains for a few years now. A place to relax and enjoy. We wanted to have a cabin in the mountains that is far enough away from the city to enjoy the stars without light pollution, to have mature trees to look at and walk amongst, and close enough for family activities. We found all that and more in Cotopaxi!

What makes this property unique

The peace and quiet and not feeling rushed to do anything while at the cabin. You really are on mountain time and we always feel like we get to "reset" whenever we're there.
