We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely stay here again. The cabin is quaint, peaceful, and feels like a true retreat. We especially loved relaxing in the hammocks by the aspen grove—it was one of our favorite parts of the property. The setting is private and quiet, making it a wonderful place to unplug.Guests should know that part of the cabin's charm is its vintage aesthetic. It is not modern, but that's part of what makes it special. The beds were comfortable, the linens were clean, and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed.The only drawback was that we had no cell phone service, and the Wi-Fi was somewhat spotty. While that made it easy to disconnect and enjoy our vacation, it also left us a little concerned about being able to reach the owners or anyone else if an emergency arose.Overall, this was a charming and relaxing place to stay, and we'd happily return.
Such a special cabin!! This time capsule is an incredible spot for visiting RMNP, Wild Basin , Meeker Park and Allenspark. The additional covered patio is a slice of heaven overlooking an aspen meadow that attracts deer. We were a little concerned about being close to the road but it was not a detractor at all. This is a sweet place with so many original personal touches. Love that both rooms have king sized beds with extra pillows. The kitchen is very well stocked!
