Thank you for the lovely review, Teri! We’re so happy you enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, nearby hiking, and the creek in the backyard — it really is a peaceful little spot.
We appreciate your note about local restaurants. While Riverside is a small town with limited hours early in the week, there are several great options between here and the neighboring towns of Encampment and Saratoga. We highlight many of these in our pre-arrival guide and also keep updated restaurant hours posted on the cabin chalkboards to help guests plan ahead.
Thanks again for staying with us — we’d love to welcome you back!

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing to stay at the Jackalope Retreat Cabin. We’re so glad you enjoyed your time overall.
We’re sorry to hear about the toilet issue you encountered. We always encourage our guests to reach out right away if anything isn’t working properly, as our team is close by and happy to help.

Plumbing issues can happen from time to time, but please know we take them seriously and respond right away to make sure our cabins are comfortable for every guest. We truly appreciate your input and hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back again for an even smoother experience.

Very convenient location, peaceful setting. Loved sitting behind the cabin by the channel. Jackalope is cute and well maintained, but a bit too tiny for us. Next time will choose a larger cabin. Appreciated Matt’s responsiveness to request for a fan. Only specific criticism is beds are high off the floor, challenging for us seniors to climb onto. I’d suggest lowering them to normal height for safety and ease of access. Detailed communication from owners pre check in was especially helpful.

The square footage is noted in the listing, and it’s priced accordingly as a cozy, well-appointed, and affordable stay with all the essentials.

Thanks again for staying with us—we hope to welcome you back again, perhaps in one of our roomier options!

Property seemed like a cabin from years gone by. I could call it Cozy, but it was a bit too small for my tastes. Fortunately we were there with friends who had a larger cabin, so we did all but sleep there. Would not have worked for us otherwise.

Nice place.
Cute small cabin just as advertised. Couldn't make sense of the stove, but I'm old enough that it didn't really matter... I was looking for quiet and simplicity, and this was what I was looking for.
Thanks for the pleasant visit

A great getaway
The stream out back was just wonderful to sit back and relax to. We had mule deer come through and the park across the street is really nice. 2 great restaurant's within walking distance and the café has the best loaded tater tots!! Close by is the Encampment river trail from Odd Fellows what a GREAT hike. You can do the trail via Purgatory Gulch but its a long road and best suited for a good 4wd vehicle. This is a very small town and would love to come back and do some hunting/fly fishing again. The cabin had everything we needed and a good size refrigerator for the cabin size.

I checked in even though I had trouble finding the correct communication with the access code. There was a cabin nextdoor with many barking dogs. There were at least four dogs in the cabin. Those guests let the dogs run off leash, making the town park across the street off-limits for other users. This, despite the sign that said all dogs need to be on a leashmaking the town park unusable for others. II am from Colorado, butI have learned to be leery of other Coloradans, because they have so little respect for leash laws, common courtesy and keeping their dogs under control. The other guests had Colorado plates from the front range. Ultimately, one of their dogs attacked my dog, Who was on leash. I called the property manager. The other cabin, never put the dogs on leash and walked around my cabin yelling at the dogs. I appreciate being able to bring my dog on vacation, but I don’t appreciate other vacationers who have no common sense when it comes to managing their dogs. The property owner probably needs to be a lot more strict about dogs and policing how many dogs there actually are. This cabin has very small twin beds. I am only 5’ 8” and I was still too tall for the Bed. I ended up leaving one day early. It is a pretty area and I’d like to come back sometime to explore but I won’t be staying here.

We’re so sorry that your stay was negatively impacted by another guest’s disregard for our pet policy. That guest brought four unregistered dogs (well over our two-dog limit) and allowed them off leash, which is strictly prohibited at Cottonwood Cabins. We take these issues very seriously — those guests have been reported and are not welcome back.
We understand that your cabin wasn’t the right fit for your needs. This particular cabin is one of our smaller, budget-friendly options and is accurately described and priced as such. Many of our other cabins offer more space and are rated 5 stars by guests who enjoy larger beds, full kitchens, and more room to spread out.
We hope you’ll consider one of our larger cabins on a future visit — they might be a better match for the experience you’re looking for!

My wife and I were looking for a quiet place with limited connections, but enough to serve as a convenient base for wildlife/outdoor photography, hiking, and writing. The Jackalope was a perfect location for us.
