We had a wonderful stay at Wonderlust Chalet. Everything was perfect from the quiet location to all the thoughtful little details throughout the home. Clear instructions, fully equipped kitchen, great outdoor games, and really nice star gazing spot. The nice decor and fresh flowers made the space feel welcoming. We truly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend.

My husband and I come to Colorado every year for our vacation! It was absolutely amazing, the cabin was in a great area & the views were incredible! This house had everything we needed! It was also close to some riding trails so we rode for 2 days! Relaxed in the 2 person hammock and had a competition on the arcade game. We turned the TV on once during our stay, the rest of the time we were enjoying the time! Terry was amazing to work with. We would for sure stay here again!

This place was everything we wanted and more! I stayed for my bachelorette trip and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The beds were all extremely comfortable and clean, the bathrooms were immaculate, and the kitchen looked brand new! It’s very clear that this place is loved and well taken care of, and we adored staying here. Perfect view of the mountains, tucked away and quiet, and still close to all the activities in buena vista/Breckinridge we wanted to do! I’d recommend this place to absolutely anyone

We absolutely loved this cabin and location. Everything we needed was provided. We hiked daily in the nearby collegiate peaks, and it was nice to come back and relax. There was plenty of property for our two dogs to roam and sniff. We saw lots of wildlife while sitting outside on the deck. The house was nice and clean and we felt comfortable from the start. I highly recommend this cabin and we hope to be back next year. The host was very responsive with any questions. I also want to know who holds that record score on Galaga.

This place is AMAZING! Beautiful cabin, gorgeous surroundings and views. Peaceful, serene and filled with wildlife! Our hosts were VERY communicative and prompt in responding when we had a question. Every single thing you could need was in the cabin and it was immaculate! We instantly felt cozy and at home. There really is no need to look any further if you want a cabin near enough to BV but far enough to feel like you are all by yourself in the woods. Get here, folks. You won't regret it. We miss it already!

About the host

Hosted by Terry & Ronnie

Host profile image
Hi guests!!! We're the owners, Terry & Ronnie....THANK YOU for checking out our little log cabin! We take great pride in our little place and are so thankful we get to share it with others. We do all of the cleaning ourselves to make sure everything is just right for your stay. This cabin has been Mr. Terry's labor of love since he retired. The cabin is close to everything but far enough away from the city life. We really enjoy our time here being in nature and the mountain views. Don't forget about the stars! Warm your toes by the wood stove and enjoy the stars from the couch ! The cabin is away from city lights so on a moonless night the stars are everywhere! Spend a little time looking up and hopefully you'll see a shooting star. We've seen lots! It's a great place to cozy up after a day of skiing or hiking, or tackling that 14er, or whatever your wandering takes you.
We know many guests want to bring their 4 legged love ones with them to the cabin. Please reach out to us for any concerns regarding the size of your dog.

What makes this property unique

Close to everything but far enough away! Mountain views, wood stove and big windows surrounded by all the comforts of home!
