The Bunkhouse in the Pines, the Cozy Western Cabin in the Forest
Come visit our "bunkhouse", a western style private cabin on 20 acres bordering the National Forest, and only 5 minutes from town. We are a private horse boarding facility, and welcome riders who want to bring their own horses and explore the wonderful trails. Hikers, mountain bike riders, golfers, and fishermen will find their ideal settings just our our back door. Located halfway between Manitou Springs and Cripple Creek, Woodland Park is a delightful mountain community with great gift shops and restaurants. Our setting is quiet and convenient! A full kitchen is ready for your own meal preparation, or eat out at one of our recommended spots. The comfortable queen bed is the same model as used by the famous Broadmoor Hotel. Wifi is available.

Kathleen offered us the best stay we could’ve asked for! She’s the sweetest and truly demonstrates how she cares for her guests. We weren’t too familiar with the area but she offered us plenty of things to do around Woodland Park and how to get to those places. The property was clean and well taken care of, with no issues during our stay. If you’re planning on taking a vacation or just a quick getaway I recommend the bunkhouse. You won’t be disappointed!
Clean well maintained property and perfect location for an easy getaway. You can enjoy a beautiful hike steps from property. And stores/restaurants are very close too if you don’t want to cook. Kathleen is a wonderfully kind and hospitable host! Love to come back sometime.
If you're looking for a small cabin that has everything you need, this is it. The cabin location is set back off of a major highway. It's close to town, but far enough out to provide a quiet and relaxing location. The cabin was clean and the kitchen provided everything we needed. We were lucky enough to enjoy having a doe and 3 bucks walk within 20 feet of the front door. Kathleen, the host, was wonderful. We will be back.
We can’t overstate the amount of appreciation we have for these Kathleen! We came in on a snowy cold night and she sat at the turn off to help lead us up to the bunkhouse! We were greeted by banana bread and the most welcoming personality! This is our favorite stay we’ve ever had! We can’t say enough about the hospitality and just general kindness we experienced! The place was awesome and the property is even cooler! We got to see some deer walk by maybe 20-30 yards from the bunkhouse with us standing outside on our last evening there and it just capped a great weekend! We will be back in the future!
Amazing accommodating. Kathleen was the best host I have ever had. Extremely comfortable and cozy bunk house. Perfect for our trip to Colorado. We will be back again next year!
My husband and I just returned from our 4 night stay at the Bunkhouse (10/24 - 10/28/24). First of all, the property is stunning. You are WAY up in the mountains, in a beautiful pine forest, away from it all, yet close enough to town if you need or want to go. The bunkhouse was fully outfitted with just about everything you would ever need. It was so homey and comfortable. Kathleen, the Host, was incredible. What a great person!! She gave us perfect recommendations on things to do and see plus she was always available and truly wanting her guests to have a great time. Honestly, our stay there was a perfect 10 and we can't wait to return.
We can’t say enough about this place. Kathleen is so sweet and is great to communicate with. The Luv you bunkhouse is just a perfect location. It is comfortable and has everything you need. It’s a plus to be able to feed the horses Magic, Diva and Twister. Kathleen brought us a cake for our Anniversary and there was a welcome note on the chalkboard. You can’t get that at a hotel. The grounds are beautiful and Woodland Park is a great location.
Loved this little cabin, surrounded by ponderosa pine trees! Beautiful deers hanging around, resting mere feet from the front porch. Cabin had all the amenities.
This is definitely one of the best places we have stayed in. love the quite & peacefulness of it. Kathleen takes care of everything. This was our 2nd time being there & would go back again.
I wish I had more time at this VRBO. The place had everyting we needed and more. It was clean and nicely decorated. I would have liked a couple of days just to sit on the front porch with a good book. Take in a daily hike from the backyard to the Red Rocks. Watch the
beautiful horses.We were looking for a quiest place in the mountains and we certainly found one.
It was the ideal place for me. I was looking for a place that would be quiet and calming and it met all those requirements. Kathleen was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I actually stayed July 3 to July 5.
This property was simply ideal for us. Kathleen was extremely helpful, accommodating, kind. The bunkhouse was spotless and had everything we needed. Take time to hike up to the Red Rocks. Lord willing, we hope to return.
Kathleen does a WONDERFUL job of making sure you feel right at home. The Bunkhouse was absolutely perfect and had everything you’d need for a stay. The property is beautiful. We would definitely stay here again!
We stayed for 3 nights and it was absolutely gorgeous. The property was super clean and easily accessible. We had an early check-in and they were super easy to work with and accommodating. If we come back to the area we will see if this place is available again. I highly recommend!
My fiancee and I wanted to stay in a quiet place while still having access to all that Colorado has to offer. The Bunkhouse was absolutely perfect for this! The property was gorgeous and we enjoyed visiting with the cows and horses. We were greeted by deer nearly every morning. Kathleen is an amazing host! She was very accommodating with our check-in (as we did not arrive until midnight on the first day.) She left wonderful cinnamon rolls as a treat. She was always available for anything we needed. The space had everything that we needed from seasonings to extra pillows. We felt right at home. The worst part was having to leave at the end of our stay. We hope to be back soon!
Kathleen was an awesome host and has a wonderful property with lots of amenities. Trails literally out the back gate, on National Forest that borders the property. Loved the horses and cows. And saw mule deer several times. Convenient to town and had everything you would need in the bunkhouse for your stay. Clean and comfortable. No complaints. Will be back again. Thank you!
This is the best VRBO I've stayed at in my entire experience of VRBO's (and I've stayed at many). This is a property that is truly being 'loaned' to travelers/vacationers with all of the comforts of home. The property was clean, had many of the things I appreciate in my own home (Kleenex, throw blankets, spices and seasonings, etc). The host's communication was better than 5-stars--I wished I could've spent more time with the hosts to get to know them better as I think we would be friends! ;)
I was hoping to be able to see the mountains from the cabin. However, the bunkhouse is surrounded by pine trees which is still an amazing view in the daytime with the snow.
The little red book has everything you need to know to make your trip easy. The brochures by the TV or helpful if you don't already know what it is you would like to do. And Kathleen is always a phone call away with amazing ideas.
The kitchen had everything we needed to cook with and the condiments and seasoning were stocked with the basics. We enjoyed French Toast for breakfast and shrimp and steaks for dinner. We also tried the Chinese restaurant in the town on our first night. Amazing.
The bathroom is well stocked with everything. You could get away with just packing a toothbrush and toothpaste if you don't require a lot.
Four-wheel drive is highly recommended in the wintertime. We got stuck on the dirt road right by the cabin so we left it and went in for the night. But early in the morning Kathleen and Bud teamed up with us to help get it off the ice. Kathleen grabbed the ice melt and wood chips for us to put down, Bud jumped in our SUV to drive, and my husband and I pushed. That was really fun (I love puzzles and solving things). They also plowed the snow off the dirt road up to the main road before we left which made it easier to leave and come back late that night.
This has turned out to be one of our favorite vacation spots. My husband said we well definitely be back.
