Early Spring Getaway

My friends and I had a wonderful time in the cabin, we stayed for two nights and the place was amazing with the location, the views, and the privacy. The cabin was very neat and everything worked just fine, the instructions were very accurate and helpful. The communication with the hosts was very prompt and welcoming. The fresh flowers on the dining table was very much appreciated. Thank you.

2025 Spring Break

Being from Texas, we always wanted to experience, a cozy cabin in the woods and we got it with this Cabin. The scenery and drive just to get there were amazing.The Star gazing at night was breathtaking, it was cold but worth being out on the deck looking at the beautiful sky.Couple of cautions- the cabin is out there, and the nearest grocery store is about 35-40 minutes away. The elevation is high if you're not used to it and may cause you to slow down :)

Everything went well when we checked in, and communicating with our host was easy. They replied very quickly to messages. My son enjoyed the small arcade downstairs and watching movies on the main level.

Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway

My family and I chose this cabin for our Thanksgiving and it was literally perfect. Woke up to deer walking through the snow in the front yard, has a perfectly equipped kitchen to cook a large meal, and close enough to Buena Vista/Salida for a fun day trip while feeling like we were far out in the country. We don't have a single complaint! The stargazing out there is unbelievable and the cabin is so cozy. When we arrived, there was about 1.5 ft of snow but the driveway was plowed as well! I'd recommend this place to everyone and hope to be back soon :)

Peaceful but convenient cabin in the woods

This was our first Vrbo experience as a family and we couldn’t have been happier with the stay. From horseshoes in the back, games and a Ms Pac-Man downstairs, a fan in every bedroom, and a well stocked kitchen, the owners have thought of everything to make your stay convenient and enjoyable. They even build your first fire in the wood stove should you choose to use it. You just need to light it. The property is a haven for those who love wildlife and quiet, yet it is conveniently located near Buena Vista and Salida or a day trip to Breckenridge

Just what we were looking for

First, the property was very clean, which is a big deal for us. Checking in and out were easy. The house is about 20 minutes from town, but we wanted to be out in the mountains, so the drive was totally worth it. It’s in a beautiful area and we would stay there again.

Cabin with a view of the mountains and the stars

I wanted a property outside of a town to enjoy a week of hiking in the mountains. This log home was perfect. It was clean and quiet. The location was about 30 minutes from Buena Vista and an hour from Breckenridge. I wish we could have stayed another week.
