Nice and Unique Colorado Cabin

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at the Redhawk Retreat. It’s nice and private but still close to town. The cabin has a unique design and there’s plenty of room to spread out in the two story space. There’s a ton of cool features and details. We didn’t want for anything during our stay and wildlife and sunshine.

Quiet, beautiful, friendly

My family and I needed to get away from loud fireworks during the 4th of July weekend. Redhawk provided that quiet, comfy get away for us. We enjoyed fishing, exploring and relaxation. Doug was a friendly and helpful as the people of South Park (the acreage place, not the cartoon!) We had a great vacation!

Peaceful retreat in beautiful location

The house is very unique — it feels like a tree house perched up in the rustling aspens! We appreciated the thorough check-in guide to prep us for what was available at the house and what to bring, as well as ideas for what to do in the area. We went on some amazing hikes nearby and enjoyed the retreat from hot, busy Denver. The host was communicative and everything was as-described.

Unique house in beautiful setting

Loved this house! Very unique construction and design, set in among some aspens for added privacy. You can see but not hear the neighbors. Very close to town if you forget something. Charcoal grill worked great for us. The Limber Grove Trail was about 5 miles away and great for kids (3.5 and 7 months).

Our Beautiful White Christmas in the Rockies

This house was more than expected and the pictures don't do it justice. It is beautifully rustic and homely. We were looking for a family White Christmas and it was perfect. We called it our Hallmark Christmas 😁 the views are amazing and the house has so much character. We loved the decor. The kitchen is well stocked, just be prepared for no full size oven. We did have a hard time cooking our Christmas meal in the small convection oven because it didn't cook as fast as a normal oven would. We were so surprised too that the house stayed warm with only the one downstairs heater. The house is very well maintained and the owner and his cleaning person were absolutely wonderful and very helpful!

Beautiful House and Location

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Redhawk Retreat. The house was thoroughly stocked with enough supplies that you could easily cook all meals at the house. There were also plenty of dog supplies- bowls, leashes and bones. The yoga mats and blankets in the bathroom closet were a great surprise. I really liked the decor- everything was unique and thoughtful, and I had not planned as spending as much time in the house as I did, but it was really peaceful to do yoga in the living room and sit on the deck drinking coffee. The property is just a few minutes away from the main Fairplay main street and it took me under an hour to get to Breckenridge. There are a few neighboring houses nearby, but they were far enough away that you feel secluded. Everyone I passed while walking my dogs waved at me and seemed very friendly, and overall, it seemed like a very nice community. The valley behind the house is beautiful. I saw multiple deer and a moose one morning. Douglas provided thorough information on the property and things to do in the area and was quick to respond to all messages. I will definitely be back and look forward to visiting again in the Spring. Thank you for sharing your house!

Breathtaking

As a Colorado native, it’s important for me to get out of the city and into the fresh air. I enjoy taking my fiancé (who’s not a native) around different areas for weekend relaxing and adventures. High plains of South Park is one of my favorite destinations. We love sleepy and quiet and this area is just perfect. We were a bit early for the leaves, but this perfect cabin home is set in an entire aspen grove. The pictures don’t do it justice! Besides the land being incredible, the home itself is this artsy dream - so unique in design, and complimented perfectly with antiques and beautiful artistic touches. I love every room - the bathroom is perfect, great hot shower and cute window out to the trees. The primary bedroom was where we stayed and had one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. I really didn’t want to get out of it. :) kitchen was stocked and well fit for us to cook in, with a sweeping view to boot. Windows surrounding and doors around the upper deck made it wonderful for us to drink our coffee and enjoy the peacefulness. Doug and his wife Liz are wonderful hosts, and I’m grateful they shared their home! They give loads of information prior to arrival for folks who’ve not been to South Park and fairplay. Really helpful and great communicator! We love it! My only feedback would be- someone with a camper truck using the power and water from the cabin parked very close by with a dog - just would be nice to be mentioned as startled me in daylight. :) no issue

Unique round house surrounded by aspens

The unique cobwood round house with two level stone fire place in the middle makes the experience of staying there feel unique as well. With beautiful views from the wrap around deck, chances are high to see wildlife and shooting stars. We were lucky enough to have perfect timing to see the colors of all the surrounding aspens! Minutes from main street in fairplay yet still secluded and quiet.

Charming Christmas Getaway

This property was incredibly charming and exactly what we were looking for over Christmas. The architecture of the house is odd and incredibly interesting. The outside of the house does not do justice to the inside, which feels like a circular cabin in the mountains. Our kids loved exploring and playing hide and seek in the house. There are three beds total, which was a welcome and exciting surprise that our daughter appreciated. The email sent from the owner just prior to arrival was extremely helpful and informative. He always seemed accessible if we had any questions. He also offered to leave a real Christmas tree in the house for us, which was a thoughtful addition. What a great place to get away and spend time as a family. The property has a variety of games and movies, a kitchen stocked with cooking pots/utensils, and useful storage such as ziploc bags and foil. We ventured north to Breckenridge twice and the property was a reasonable drive, not feeling too far from our destination. This property has beautiful views and feels secluded enough even though you're minutes from Fairplay. We would stay at this property again!

Romantic & Relaxing Weekend Retreat

We highly recommend this house! The location is only a short drive and so close to the town of Fairplay. We ate at the new restaurant called Salado in the old steakhouse location and the food is out of this world (chef came over from Blue River Bistro in Breck). The house itself is inspiring, comfy and hand built by artists with amazing views. The king bed was very comfortable and had a big tv allowing us to watch CBS Sunday Morning. Heaven on earth!

Fantastic hippie hideaway!

We loved the house! It was comfortable and exactly what two aging hippies needed for a week away. It's the sort of place you need to feel to appreciate. It's not far outside of Fairplay, but it feels like you're way out in the mountains :). The thing is, the photos don't really do this place justice. The cordwood construction is a major feature, so you feel like you're in a magical hideout! Upstairs is an open living/ kitchen area and a very comfortable king bedroom. Downstairs are two bedrooms and the laundry -- so, it would be fantastic for a family with kids old enough to sleep downstairs, or a couple looking for a good retreat. The owner was super easy to work with, very prompt and helpful. I would rent it again, maybe in the winter next time so we can use the fireplace!

Just ok

We live in Denver and wanted a quick inexpensive getaway. When we arrived there was a huge moth problem and we spent our first night killing about 40 moths. I am just a little disappointed that there was no small refund offered for the inconvenience. We were unable to open windows and enjoy the fresh mountain breeze. I will say the House was stocked well and the master bed was comfortable so that was a plus.

Unique cabin in a great spot

We thought the cabin was really cool. It was fun to see our kid's excitement when we pulled up and during the initial exploratory tour. It is a 5 minute drive to FairPlay so it's not necessary to bring all your food and supplies with you. Check in and out was very easy. The owner is very responsive to questions. The night sky is insane at the cabin. Our first night, the sky was completely clear and we could see a ton of stars and the Milky Way. Huge difference from the city night sky that we are used to. We had a great relaxing weekend.

Great getaway, and beautiful home with a warm feel, art and rustic feel combined

We loved this home; the circular design, the rustic logs, the fireplace and stone chimney, the little details. The owners were also amazing with condiments and extras that you usually don't see. We left our cooler with a lot of stuff in it and they contacted me to let me know and had it returned by a neighbor who lived near us! It was just my husband and myself, but it's a great space for families. The space was perfect, will stay here again!

Relaxing in the Cool of the Summer

Just spent 5 days and 4 nights in a state of relaxation. This beautiful home fit our needs perfectly. My daughter and her dog ran in the mountains each day and we toured the local attractions in Fairplay and enjoyed the 70 degree "heat" instead of the 98 degrees at home in Texas. Douglas was attentive to our needs and the house is both unique and comfortable. Will come back in the future if in the area.

Beautiful, quiet and peaceful!

This is a lovely, tranquil cabin away from it all! Close enough to Fairplay that you can run into town for any forgotten items. Far enough away that you have your own space at the base of the mountains! The home is well equipped. The owner is very kind and readily available by phone or text if needed. So thankful for the dog friendly policy. Our sweet old lab had a great time hiking and exploring!
