Forest Retreat over 1 acre, Hot Tub, Log Furniture, Wildlife!
Why choose our cabin? We own and operate it ourselves and take a lot of pride and care in the cabin AND in taking care of our guests. We are responsive and a phone call or text away for any of your needs. So book your stay to relax and soak away your cares while watching the shadows of the flames of the lava bowl dance against the 1+ acres of Pines and Aspens. You might even see a shooting star! The kitchen has been upgraded with granite countertops throughout and stainless steel appliances! Also, Unlimited WiFi! We took extra care in furnishing our place with Colorado log mountain furnishings. The walk to the lake is only .5 a mile. OHV trails are within 4 miles of our retreat! Perfect for the outdoor enthusiast! Driving in, watch out - the signs indicate Elk Crossing and they mean it! We have a herd of over 50 that meander along the road coming into our property. Located within 5 miles of groceries, restaurants, and gas stations. We are quick drive to Pikes Peak, Cripple Creek, Woodland Park and approximately 25 minutes to Manitou Springs/Garden of the Gods/Colorado Springs. After a day of hiking, white water rafting, fishing, boating, cross-country skiing or enjoying the nearby attractions come back to our cabin and enjoy the fully stocked kitchen (Kuerig and regular coffee maker). Sit back and relax from French doors on the upper deck while grilling on the gas grill.It is surrounded by forest and LOTS of wildlife. Enjoy your favorite shows our ROKU HDTV 50" TV, and check out our selection of movies. Our retreat has 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, living room, family room, kitchen, dining and laundry room with large washer/dryers. It's perfect for extended families to have a space! Since we personally own, operate, and use our vacation home (not managed by a management company), we take extra care in our cleaning practices, regardless of the extra expense. We use clorox wipes/Lysol on all surfaces and touchpoints. Also, we use additional deep cleaning sanitizers in addition to our laundry soaps on our linens and bedding. I was a Director of HR for Marriott Hotels, so, I know what we are doing is going beyond industry and CDC standards. We hope you will consider our "home away from home" for your vacation. Also, the Pikes Peak region has a long history of hospitality for those who have sought a safe, clean space to heal from respiratory illness. Our nickname was once “Sun City” due to our 300 days of sunshine per year and our 1,106,604 acres of Pike National Forest, Garden of the Gods, and other parks and natural sites are the ideal way to Social Distance! This retreat is supplied with a binder filled with information about the property as well as the local area! This includes brochures on area attractions. Text me with any questions! I am responsive and happy to help make your stay the best! We do not allow pets, and you must be 25 years old to rent this property. Please note*** This is a NON-Smoking/vaping home. Cigarettes may be smoked outside away from windows and doors. Cigarette butts must be placed in the can provided on the back deck.

My kids and I enjoyed our stay here! We played so many games, made family meals together, watched movies, and enjoyed the hot tub at night, especially since it snowed all weekend. It was a great stay and we would love to come back sometime!
We loved our stay here! We brought our two kiddos, ages 4 and 6, and we enjoyed the hot tub, the playground, and playing in the snow! We also had a blast at Paradox Brewery, 10 min away from the cabin! We will definitely stay here again :)
My family loved this place! It's in a beautiful and quiet area. Perfect if you want to be close to all the attractions but out of the city. I highly recommend this place and hope we will be back some day!
This was a great cabin in the mountains away from the city. Our family enjoyed our week here and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a mountain retreat.
Robin’s place was awesome! Hotub was great after long hikes with trails minutes away! Clean and plenty of space that was fully stocked with all the necessities for a great vacation! Thanks for a great stay!
This cabin was perfect for our family of 6! We really enjoyed our stay in this cabin! It was very clean and well maintained. Owners were great at answering any questions I had and communicating with us! Thank you for a great stay!
We had such a great time, the hot tub was amazing, the house had some fun board games, and we loved feeding the deer in the morning. It was such a beautiful place. Definitely want to come back!
It was a wonderful place to stay! It was away from the hustle and bustle of the city but close to many attractions. The roads seemed very well maintained! It was easy to get around! We loved it!
We just needed a place for a few days of peace and quiet, and this was perfect! Robin and Henry were the most gracious hosts and were very quick to respond to any questions we had. Star gazing from the hot tub was amazing too! We totally plan to go back! All in all, it’s a 10 out of 10 and I would highly recommend it to anyone!
We had a great stay at this cabin! We had everything we needed for our getaway! We enjoyed the hot tub, cooking our meals in the fully stocked kitchen and simply enjoying the property with some walks and sledding!
This place feels literally just like home! The owners have thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable, and are very attentive to any need or question you may have. We enjoyed every minute of our first Colorado trip—it won’t be our last! We would definitely book here again!
The cabin was the perfect size for our family of four. Our youngest came down with pneumonia and required a short visit to the hospital which was very close by and had the best staff we’ve ever encountered. It was very clean and had everything we needed.
Very nice and clean home, located close enough to local town of Divide. Beautiful mountain scenery and wildlife. Definitely glad we had an all wheel drive vehicle as we were there during a significant snow storm. Beautiful sunny days after the storm. Close to Mueller State Park with fantastic hiking.
Super clean and very well kept! The description of the property is super accurate! It was quite and the location was great for what we had planned for our stay! We cant wait to bring the whole family back soon!
This was the perfect place for a girl's getaway with sisters, niece and kiddos. The cabin was located in a great setting with beautiful views all around. The cabin itself was furnished with nice mountain decor, was very comfortable and cozy. The hot tub was perfect for 6 people. Overall, it was a great Colorado experience.
Beautiful property in the high woods! Quite peaceful, lots of deer and elk in the area. The hot tub was wonderful on cool evenings! Close to the Colorado Springs area but away from city craziness!!
Our group of friends had an excellent stay in this house! Everything about the home was perfect. It was more off the beaten path than I expected, but that's not a bad thing! Just a short drive away from Woodland Park, Manitou Springs & Colorado Springs. It snowed while we were there and the scenery was just gorgeous. Would absolutely stay there again!
This is the second time we’ve stayed at this Cabin and it was just as wonderful as the first! It was perfectly clean and beautifully decorated with Christmas lights. We got eight inches of snow the day we arrived at the cabin and seeing the place covered in snow was positively magical! The hot tub was especially pleasant while it was snowing, and kept us warm even when temps reached zero. We’ll definitely be returning for next year’s Christmas vacation!
