Close enough to everything but not in the busy city. We stayed for a long weekend. The house was exactly what was described. We have stayed in numerous VRBO’s and it’s always the little things that impress me the most! Coffee and creamer provided, to go cups made our early checkout so nice. Laundry soap provided, great to come home with clean clothes. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. It was so sweet they even had a bookshelf with books offering you to take one home if you weren’t able to finish. My ONLY disappointment was the fireplace didn’t work but the family was out of town and unable to assist us with the issue. I will stay again on our visit next year to CS!

Best winter vacation spot!
This house was amazing! Six adults and we fit comfortably. We were able to cook a few large meals in the well stocked kitchen. Very clean and quiet. Got to see deer almost everyday. After it snowed someone came and cleared the driveway. We can’t wait to go back!

Adorable cottage in a beautiful and quiet location. Nicely updated with plenty of room for a family of four. Wide doorways and walkin showers(no lip) made the cabin extremely friendly for my 86 year old mother with a walker. A family of deer visited us daily. All in all it was the perfect location and accomodations for our needs.

Everything you could want!
This place was perfect for our vacation. Peaceful and relaxing, and close enough to anything you could want to do while in Colorado. Also, be sure to eat at the Mountain View Cafe. We at there nearly every day and there is not one thing on the menu that wasn’t amazing. The house itself had everything you need or could want. Toiletries, kitchen & cooking items, fireplaces, gas grill, and the list goes on. Deer and other wildlife would walk through or play in the backyard daily. We fell in love with the mountains and the property. If we come back to Colorado Springs, we would definitely stay here again.

We felt like we hit the jackpot finding this place! It worked perfectly for our family of 5. It was a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle from the city and it was so fun to see wildlife off the back deck every day. We hope to be back!

Wonderful Stay in Colorado Springs
We had such a lovely stay in this home just outside the hustle and bustle of the city. The views of the mountains and the deer that walked through the backyard were a wonderful treat! The spacious bedrooms allowed for comfortable sleeping for our family of six. Owners were beyond accommodating during our stay! We would absolutely stay here again when in the area!

Perfect little cabin
We really enjoyed this cabin - perfect layout with a master suite on either side and sliding doors from each suite that affords access to the deck. The deck has ample seating and quaint lighting during the evening. The cabin was extremely clean and the host provided hiking and eating tips that were great. Location was easily accessible. Highly recommend this cabin!

Fabulous Cabin
This cabin was amazing. It was close to everything we wanted to do around Colorado Springs, but in the woods which allowed for that secluded vibe we wanted. There was wildlife galore to watch from the huge deck. This cabin is comfortable and has everything you need to either relax, or entertain a few friends/family. The host was easy to contact when we ran out of something and very accommodating. This cabin is a must stay if you're in Colorado Springs!

Amazing Homey Gem
This is hands down our favorite space thus far! We arrived late and all the homey little details make it feel like you're walking into a cozy abode. The location is beautiful, the area is easy access to COS, USAFA, hiking, exploring, shopping, without the noise and hubbub. The Hosts are outstanding and the description is accurate- the cozy cabin in the woods overdelivers on the experience, setting, comfort, and every aspect of the stay. We will be back a lot, and plan to bring friends to stay at the other cabins on site as well when our son graduates! Thank you for this amazing better than home - away from home!!

The set up of the cabin with two master suites was perfect for us. Each couple had plenty of privacy but also plenty of space to visit together either in the living room or outside on the spacious deck. It made a great ‘home’ base for our adventures in the area.

Beautiful Black Forest Cabin
We came with our son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren, for a wedding in The Garden of the Gods. This cabin was perfect for our family since we needed separate living spaces. Two master suites, with super comfy King size beds and an extra queen bunk bed in one of them for our grandkids. They each have a large bathroom which was great. The open concept living and kitchen in between was perfect for coming together for meals and family time. They even had board games for us to play. The deck out back is huge, complete with tons of seating and a gas firepit. It was the perfect place to wind down in the evening and look at the stars while sipping a glass of wine. The location in the woods is perfect. We found a coffee shop, gas, BBQ, pizza, and liquor store all within a few min of the house. Deer would roam the yard in the morning, and we even had 2 fawns bed down just off the patio. A short drive in any direction and we found all the conveniences as well as sight seeing! We had to message the owner with a question and got almost an instant response. It was so nice knowing they were always within reach if we needed anything. I would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone staying in the Black Forest area!

Clean and quiet
Got in to town a little early and property owner was more than happy to accommodate us a few hours before check in. Owner was quick to respond to any questions. Property is near a very busy area, but set just far back enough in the Black Forest to keep you feeling like you're in an isolated mountain retreat. Deer/elk on or near the property in the early morning. This was a fantastic property to relax in between exploring Colorado, and the split floor plan makes it ideal for even multiple families to stay in.

Motorcycle sightseeing
We spent 2 full days riding a total of 865 miles to Estes Park, Royal Gorge, Pikes Peak and Mount Evans. Then spent the rest of our time driving to various other locations. It was always nice to come back to the cabin where we encountered elk wandering around the property regularly. The property owner was very gracious and easy to work with. Would definitely consider staying here again!
