My husband, sister, and I enjoyed our stay here very much! This is the second time we have stayed in Rainbow Valley, and I can confidently say it won’t be the last! I was looking for a cabin that was dog friendly and was so happy to find this one, and Piper had so much fun here! The valley was great for her to run around in, and she loved watching the deer and birds. I would also highly suggest this cabin during the fall, as it sits inside an aspen grove and I can’t even imagine how beautiful it is that time of year.

Loved our stay here. We enjoyed everything about the property. Very relaxing and was in a perfect location for all the things we wanted to do with our visit to Colorado. Loved using the telescope at night and looking at stars each night was something we looked forward to each night after our busy days. Would have loved to use the fireplace but unfortunately the week we were there it was to hot to use but will definitely be staying here again and maybe next time it will be colder that we will be able to enjoy sitting around with family enjoying the fireplace.

Little scary on the roads getting to your cabin. Your directions were spot on. We had a great time loved the peace and quiet. Saw deer and a red fox. Spotless and so homey, great recommendations of where to eat, grocery shop etc. Kitchen had everything you would need.Thank you!Terry, and my bride of 54 years, Jane Koehler

Great location -- the view is beautiful, especially in the mornings. Hosts gave us lots of information and everything went really smoothly. Lots of things to see and do in the area. Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds. The only drawback would be that the driveway is a little steep and there's not much room for more than one car. We had a wonderful time!

Fantastic Stay

This was our third or fourth stay at this cabin, and it's continued to grow better each time. I appreciate the ability to disconnect, though there is wifi if needed. The best part is how secluded and tranquil it is. Every stay I've seen mule deer graze through. The updates, including solar panels and a digital display showing the water tank's fill level is great. It was very cozy and the weather was gorgeous.

Nancy Catmull Matocha went to school at the University of Texas in Austin and Columbia University in New York when she met Gene Matocha. We live, work and rear two children in North Texas.

But we play in Colorado. :)

Why they chose this property

A family cabin near Park City, Utah, inspired us to want to build our own. Plus, we were looking for a place that the whole family could enjoy. We found it in Divide. Completed in 2012, we add improvements to it each year.

What makes this property unique

Besides its quiet comfort, our cabin is uniquely situated to enjoy so much of Colorado. There's something for everyone - from mountain biking, to hiking to touring - and a comfortable place to return to, cook a meal, play a board game, read a book or watch a movie. Perfect for families.
