We loved our stay! Traveling with a 2 year old and 6 year old is no joke, the property was clean, well stocked with games, and the outside was peaceful. Great proximity to fishing, hiking, and even swimming spots.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We know traveling with little ones can be a big adventure in itself, so we’re especially happy to hear the cabin worked well for your family. It’s great to know you found everything clean, well-stocked, and that you were able to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and nearby outdoor activities. We’d love to welcome you all back anytime for another relaxing and fun-filled stay!
Overall, we would stay there again. Couldn't understand why we couldn't fly fish within the property.

Thank you so much for your feedback and for choosing to stay with us! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your visit and would stay again.
We understand the disappointment about not being able to fly fish directly within the property. The 3-mile stretch of the South Platte River that runs through our community is privately maintained and reserved for members only. The HOA invests significantly to stock and preserve this section for conservation and member access.
That said, there’s still fantastic fishing all around the area—both fly and spin fishing! Guests can find excellent public access points on the South Platte just minutes away, along with nearby lakes and streams that offer incredible angling opportunities for trout and other species.
We truly appreciate your understanding and hope you’ll come back soon to enjoy all the beautiful outdoor recreation the area has to offer!
Very fun place to hangout. A lot to do. Very cozy cabin. Had a great time

Easy checkin process and a perfect location if you like the outdoors.
Excellent fishing nearby and the cabin was well-stocked with things we needed to cook at home.
Everything about the cabin is superb. We lacked nothing for cooking and comfort. The area is wonderful. If you are looking for a quiet place to rest and watch the humming birds and chipmunks this is perfect!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you loved the cabin and that the kids enjoyed the loft and Nerf fun 😊 We’re glad you were able to take advantage of the outdoor space and soak in the views as well. Thank you also for including your family pictures — we absolutely loved seeing them and are so happy the cabin was part of those memories. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope to host your family again in the future!
This cabin was so cozy, well stocked, & the perfect size for my family of 4. Peaceful getaway from reality & super clean. Host does a great job with suggestions & helpful items.
The cabin is as described and worked great as a base camp for our fishing trip. Within 15 minutes of the dream stream and 11 mile. We also fished Wildcat canyon and caught a couple.
Great cabin in the woods. Super clean and well stocked with basic supplies. It was more than we expected, and it was a great trip. Great communication from the host.

We love it when our guests experience the serenity of nature and leave the cabin feeling refreshed. Happy to hear you enjoyed fishing in the suggested areas of Happy Meadow, Wild Cat Canyon and Eleven Mile Canyon. You were wonderful guests! We hope you come stay at the cabin again.
We needed a quiet, relaxing, spotless cabin in a beautiful mountain setting and that is exactly what we got with this property. Pictures and description were spot on. One of my favorites in 40 years of Colorado cabin stays.
If you are looking for great hosts and the best equipped cabin, this is that place! Had everything you could possibly need and in the quietest setting! Beautiful views, deer, and peace! It was exactly what we were looking for!!!

About the host
Hosted by Adam & Melissa Szychowski
As a Colorado native, I’ve spent a lifetime exploring this incredible state—and I can honestly say that Lake George is one of its best-kept secrets. When we discovered this cozy log cabin tucked near the South Platte River and surrounded by National Forest, we instantly knew it was something truly special.
We love hosting this retreat because it allows us to share that same magic with others. Whether you’re here to cast a line in Gold Medal waters, hike endless trails, take in mountain views, or simply relax on the deck and watch the wildlife wander by, we hope you feel the same peace and joy this cabin has brought to our own family.
Welcome to your home away from home—we’re so glad you’re here, and we can’t wait for you to make unforgettable memories at the Cabin at Sportsman’s Paradise.
Why they chose this property
We chose this property because of its unbeatable setting—just minutes from the South Platte River and backing directly to both Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest. It’s a true outdoor lover’s paradise, with world-class fishing, endless hiking trails, ATV adventures, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking mountain scenery right at your doorstep.
But beyond the adventure, what makes this spot so special is the sense of peace and connection it brings. It’s the kind of place where families gather on the deck to watch deer wander by, where laughter carries through game nights inside, and where unforgettable memories are made. For us, it’s the perfect blend of outdoor excitement and mountain serenity—and we’re grateful to be able to share it with others.
What makes this property unique
One of the things that sets our cabin apart is that you’ll deal directly with us—the owners—for all booking inquiries and communication. That means fast, personal responses, tailored recommendations, and support every step of the way—no middleman, no property management company.
Beyond direct communication, our cabin offers a special combination of comforts and experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Whether it’s relaxing on the deck as wildlife passes by, gathering with family around the fireplace, or exploring world-class fishing, hiking, and ATV trails just minutes away, we strive to make every stay smooth, enjoyable, and unforgettable. We’re here to ensure your visit is exactly what you hope for—and more.
This cabin is also a perfect fit for outdoor enthusiasts looking to fish, hike, explore, or simply relax and take in the beautiful scenery. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a trip with close friends, you’ll find comfort, convenience, and adventure all in one unforgettable place.
