We stayed for a week in June 2023, The cabin was comfortable inside and out. It is set in a great natural setting. The altimeter app on my phone quoted 8000ft +/-. The owners seem to run a rock quarry a 1/4 mile down the mountain, we experienced no industrial noise at all during our week. We explored the area, the Gold Mine in Cripple Creek, white water rafting in Canon City, The Garden of the gods, Pikes Peak, and visiting the Focus on the Family headquarters (which has a free Adventures in Odyssey playground) were highlights. The cabin is not perfect, neither is my house. I say this so expectations are appropriate, not to put down the cabin (or my house). The owner has left meals for arriving guests in the past, this was not done for us, I include this to warn future guests not to expect, let this be a pleasant surprise. I am sure the owner has a life that can be demanding and may not be able to include this gratuity for each visitor. We did arrive to a half gallon of ice cream, fixings, and a basket of "movie night treats". We are grateful for the ice cream and treats. The cabin was a great place to stay and we had a great time. I encourage anyone to visit.
P.S. Colorado state law prohibits retailers from giving out shopping bags, byob. Or the teller told a lie?
