Cute and comfortable in a very quiet area

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin is well appointed and very comfortable. Very convenient to I-70 but in a very quiet area up the mountain. Thanks for a great visit.

The Chickadee is BEAUTIFUL

My friends and I stayed at the Chickadee for a little holiday get away to enjoy Colorado and ski. We loved the Chickadee. It is such a cute home and met all of our needs. The surrounding area is so beautiful. We could see the stars at night. We really enjoyed the outdoor hang out area and the decor. Everything was clean, up to date, and just wonderful accommodations. The host was very helpful and kind and quick to respond to any questions we had.

Weekend trip to hit the slopes

Chickadee is the cutest, coziest rental I have ever had. We had significant snowfall and weren't able to use the porch but it looks comfortable. We had plenty of room to spread out our gear and every detail was taken care of for us. It is a 2.5 mile drive up the canyon from I-70 and we enjoyed all the nature and quiet. I hope to be back in the summer!

Great little cottage!

Loved this place! The location was quiet and secluded but still within 15 of two little cute downtowns. Everything was clean and they had all the amenities we were looking for - a grill, kitchen stuff, a fire pit, etc. we were able to pick up local bison and cook there which was nice! We did have a little utility issue but the manager rushed over right away and addressed it. Overall, perfect stay and we would def come back!

Perfect stay for our family of 3!

The property was exactly as advertised, and incredibly charming. We used it as a spring board for a few ski days at Loveland, and it was a lovely little place to come home to after a long day on the slopes. We look forward to another stay in the future.
