Wonderful Getaway
It was a beautiful stay and the hosts were very communicative. It was private and felt secluded. Great location for multiple different hikes. 10/10 would recommend and would love to come back!

Great hot tub and location
We loved the fact that we could sit in the hot tub and watch the rain come down. And the cabins couldn’t be much closer to Garden of the Gods!

Turn and Burn
Wife and I decided last minute to take a quick trip to see the Garden of the Gods and to just simply get away. We found this beautiful place and have been talking about it since we left. Clean (most important) and simple. Enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub, but most importantly the privacy. I’d recommend it to anyone, hands down A+.

Beautiful, nicely located, and well-equipped cabin!
Beautiful, nicely located, and well-equipped cabin! Very clean and easy to access. Our only issue was with the European hornets when using the hot tub at night. They were not aggressive, but really liked the light.
