Nothing beats this...

We really couldn't ask for more ! Gary and David were exceptional in attending to every detail and making us feel comfortable. From the tips of where to explore, to the delicious brownies that greeted us, and the millions and millions of stars in the sky - it was certainly a God-send vacation. The home was cozy, clean and had absolutely everything we needed including games, DVDs and a good stock of books. It was great ! We cooked every night, and was the perfect ambience to connect and laugh as a family.
For my girls aged 5 and 8, the sleds Gary left for us to use simply made their holiday. We took them to nearby Indian Mountain, and the park in Breckenridge to sled. Centrally located, we also did drives to Buena Vista, Royal Gorge in Canon City, Denver, the Florissant Fossil Beds and ski resorts of Keystone and Dillon and still had time to get back to admire sunset at 430pm at the house. Away from it all, it was amazing to be immersed amid nature and the alpines. The drives back to the house to and from our excursions never failed to take my breath away. The vistas were simply awesome.
Thank you for the memories Gary and David ! It really wouldn't have been the same if we had opted for yet another chain hotel or resort.

Blown Away...
Submitted: April 15, 2013
Stayed: April 2013
We had been looking forward to our Colorado trip for months (talking about it for years) and halfway expected it not to live up to our expectations, but we couldn't have been more mistaken. We were blown away by how perfect the house was from the minute we pulled into the drive. It only got better once we walked through the door. The house is just beautiful and so clean and well-kept. Gary and David have truly thought of everything and really have provided all the comforts of home. Everything was perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. We've both been somewhat depressed after returning home and are already planning our return trip - hopefully in the late summer or early fall. I'm back to work today and thinking how last week at this time we were at the cabin watching a herd of elk in the distance while eating lunch in the dining room; hence, the depression. Thank you for everything - we couldn't have asked for more!

Owner's Response: Dave and Kelly, we are so glad that you that you were blown away during your stay. We strive to make our guests feel as if they were in their own home, and we let nature take care of the rest. We also have been able to see deer, and bear from our home and deck. It's almost like you are in a reverse zoo looking out!
We look forward to your fall return, and hope that the changing aspens and clean, crisp air will blow you away again. Thanks for your stay!

We had a great experience with this property and the owner. We needed to book the cabin on short notice. Gary was very accommodating and made the booking process extremely easy on our end. This was a great mountain retreat to just get out of Denver for the weekend. The views from the kitchen, living room, and patio were amazing. Very private and quiet. Lost Creek Wilderness is just minutes away. We are big outdoor enthusiasts and found miles of trails to hike and mountains of rock to climb. Great scrambling up the huge rock formations with incredible views, We will definitely be back to this property. Thanks again Gary!

Break from the Texas heat for the changing aspens!
Submitted: December 23, 2012
Stayed: September 2012
From our guestbook: "Thank you for sharing your beautiful cabin with us! The views, the brownies, the cookies, and the setting were all amazing. Gary, we are fortunate to have met you when we arrived on Sunday! We were fortunate to arrive when all of the trees changed colors as well. The aspens were gorgeous. The cool temperatures were a wonderful break from the Texas heat. We even got to see snow fall at some of the higher elevations. On our first full day, we drove up to Breckenridge via Boreas Pass - Beautiful! On day two, we hiked up Indian Mountain and enjoyed some views of the valley. We were very impressed with that trail. On day three we trekked west on the Colorado Trail and were treated to some amazing color in the aspen groves. All highly recommended trips! Thanks again for this amazing opportunity. The whole family loved the experience."

Everything Was Great!

Before we got married, I told my husband to plan our honeymoon for us, and he did a wonderful job. I suggested a cabin in the mountains because it sounded like a nice idea. A nice idea is an understatement for how great this cabin was. My husband told me how nice the owners were and that was confirmed when there was a plate of brownies waiting for us when we walked in. The cabin is very well furnished and has the feeling of home. We were instantly comfortable there and pretty much stayed inside the whole time. When we did go out, we saw the beautiful sunsets, the amazing views, and star gazing was the best. The surrounding area is nice to explore as well. We are already planning our first anniversary to be at the cabin because we want to recreate the wonderful time we had there. I would recommend this place to any family or couple looking for a quiet getaway.

From our guest book: "Once again a wonderful week on the mountain!! Thanks for sharing the comforts of your home and the views - a peaceful, relaxing time.
This was a special week for us - Tim's beginning of retirement from the USPS after 26 years - AND our 35th wedding anniversary. The cookies were terrific. Thanks.
May you continue to open your home to those of us who haven't made it out here to live - YET...."

Much needed break from city life!
Submitted: August 20, 2012
Stayed: August 2012
From our guestbook: "Thank you so much for renting us your cabin. It provided a much needed break from city life. The cabin was beautiful, the views were gorgeous, and the silence was surreal, but welcome. Here's a quick agenda of what we did:
Day 1 - Flew into Denver, explored the city, drove to the cabin. I proposed to Larissa on the deck, and spent the night reading by the fireplace.
Day 2 - Breakfast & lounged at the cabin, went to a concert at Red Rocks.
Day 3 - Breakfast & morning run through the "neighborhood" road tripped through the mountains, hiked at Eleven Mile State Park.
Day 4 - Explored Breckenridge, spent the evening relaxing.
Day 5 - Early breakfast, packed, off to Denver
Thanks again!"

Amazing mountain views! You feel like you are in the comfort of your own home with the luxury of a high end hotel. Owners make their guests feel perfectly welcome in their mountain home. It was great waking every morning to the beautiful scenery. Temps were in the 40's every morning. Perfect! Would definitely recommend this property to friends/family. Owners have great attention to detail. Homemade brownies and banana bread on arrival was a very thoughtful touch. Thanks for offering your place and making our vacation to Colorado very memorable.

Little Piece of Paradise
Submitted: July 22, 2012
Stayed: June 2012
From our guestbook -
Thank you gentlemen for sharing your little piece of paradise with Matthew and myself during these nine terrific days in June. Thank you both for your hospitality.
Though we came to Colorado for a change of scenery during a normal work week, we are leaving here with our hearts enlarged for this beautiful state. You guys have provided us a small view into grandeur of all that Colorado consists.
We pray we have the opportunity to visit many more times perhaps even residing here one day.
Thank you again and may God bless your lives with His abounding grace and for all those who enter the doors of this beautiful home.
