About this property
Beautiful SoCO Mtn Getaway
You’re invited to come unplug and unwind at our treasured oasis - the Petito Cabin in Forbes Park, CO. Take in the breathtaking views of the changing colors of Fall in CO, fresh air, and gorgeous sunrises & sunsets. Light a fire in the fireplace, get cozy, watch a movie, read a great book, roast some s'mores, make some hot cocoa and take in Colorado mountain living. Outside of relaxing in the cabin, enjoy exploring the many adventures that Southern Colorado has to offer including the Great Sand Dunes, Zapata Falls, Fort Garland Museum, Toltec railroad, the Gator Farm, fishing the many surrounding lakes, scenic hikes, hot springs, and more.
The Petito Cabin is located within the spacious and private Forbes Park community. Because there is NO HUNTING allowed in the park, you may see some of the wildlife such as coyotes, wild turkeys, elk, deer, bobcats, foxes, bears and more. ATVS and MOTORCYLES are NOT allowed in Forbes Park but you can still enjoy a scenic drive or hike through the park. There is just as much fun in the cabin as there is outside of it including a smart TV to stream shows & movies on, board games, and kids entertainment including video games and a full size air hockey table!
Whether you are looking to simply escape the daily grind and work remote from the most serene and beautiful surroundings, create lasting family trip memories, or outdoor adventure, the Petito cabin is the perfect spot!

About the host
Your host
Hello and thank you for considering a memorable stay at our treasured Lovato family cabin! We have enjoyed the sights, sounds, adventures, and relaxation that our cabin in beautiful southern CO offers and want to extend this treasure to share with other families and guests to experience.
As 6th generation Colorado natives whose family originates from the San Luis Valley, we are moved by the mystic energy, connection and recharge that the area provides. We are confident that you will as well!
Welcome, we know that you will love it as much as we do!

Why they chose this property
This is not a regular old commercial property but a loved and cared for family cabin. Because our cabin is loved, you will appreciate the thoughtful touches and comfort that it provides from comfy linens, an equipped kitchen to prepare delicious meals, a fun loft area for the kiddos to hang out and share laughs, and a wonderful family room for enjoying a fire and actually spending quality time together like the good old days before technology. But, if you must indulge in technology the cabin has a desk and WiFi for logging into Zoom meetings to make your co-workers super jealous and catching up on that Netflix show you haven't been able to make time for.
What makes this property unique
Enjoy the benefits of the off-the-grid feel with all of the wonderful accommodations of home. Use the cabin as a great retreat with great hiking just steps outside the door or leverage the 30 minute drive out of Forbes Park to enjoy an adventure to the beautiful Zapata Falls, surf the Great Sand Dunes, fish tales at a lake, a relaxing trip to the hot springs, to wrestle a gator at the Gator Farm (not really, but you can hold one if you dare), learn the history of the area at the Fort Garland Museum, catch a scenic train ride in Alamosa.....the possibilities are endless!
