This was a little weekend getaway and it was fantastic. A wonderful cabin with a beautiful deck that is well maintained and cared for, with a responsive host. It's only 45 minutes from downtown Denver (or 15 minutes from Castle Rock), but feels like another world. Some of the best hikes in the state are just a short drive away. We had a great time.
A couple of notes:
Even though this is right on the front range and 15 minutes from Castle Rock, you are in the mountains; the internet is not fast enough or reliable enough for video calls/remote work. This can either be a feature/draw, or a problem. Bring movies, or download them to your devices ahead of time, for example, or plan to spend a low-tech weekend.
Also, note that the beautiful cabin lets in a TON of natural light. You will not sleep in late here. Again, may be a feature for some (we got going right away in the mornings), but something to take note of.
