The cabin was a fantastic stay, we loved our time. The first night we had a little bit of snow and just really added to the arsthetic especially as we were soaking in the hot tub. It was very cozy, really enjoyed feeding the fire with all of the plentiful firewood our host keeps for the place.

Davids cabin is exceptional. We saw many critters come right up to the glass doors, heard coyotes while in the hot tub and watched deer roam around while drinking our hot chocolate. David was in constant communication with me, providing lots of tips and recommendations for the area. There are little extras that just make the place perfect, like firewood for the wood burning fire, guest passes for local fishing spots and even bear mace! We will be back!

Mike & Sandy were great guests at Deer Creek Log Cabin in Bailey, Colorado. The cleaning crew reported they left the cabin looking great and a nice tip too! These are the kind of folks everyone should want to rent their home. I do hope they come again someday!

Mountain retreat

We had the best stay! This cabin is so cozy and wonderful! The kitchen is well stocked, the beds are comfortable, the hot tub is delightful, the view of the mountains from the deck is so inspiring, and the endless visits of birds to the bird feeders and the peanuts we brought were very entertaining. David, the host, has thought of everything to make your stay perfect. This was our third time to Deer Creek cabin and we will definitely be back again!

About the host

Hosted by Tracie Halter

developed strategic plans, written marketing and
public relations programs, implemented special
events, launched new start-up companies, and
performed other marketing and public relations

Why they chose this property

David fell in love with this secluded log cabin the moment he walked inside in 1999. He bought it on the spot. It has been a special place for him ever since. He is proud to say 99.9% of all folks who have rented it feel the same way, because most of them are repeat renters year after year.

What makes this property unique

This cabin contains NO sheetrock. It is log inside and out. The floor to ceiling windows in the main room boast amazing views of the mountains and forest surrounding the cabin. The deck on 3 sides of the cabin is 8 feet deep giving plenty of room to be outside and enjoy the amazing Colorado atmosphere. Standing on the deck you are almost 9,000 feet up in the Rocky Mountains! There are 2 fabulous easy hiking trails on national forest within 10 minutes of the cabin... Meridian Trail and Tanglewood Trail.
