What an amazing property! We stayed for three nights for an ATVing trip in the hills. The property is SUPER close to the centenial trailhead and just blocks away from the ATV rental area. It made for a perfect location for our trip. The cabin was perfect. The kichen was stocked with everything you might need. The porch was an amazing place to relax in the evenings. We used the fire pit and enjoyed smores and stargazing. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom even had extra toiletry items in case you forgot anything. The location was beautiful, and we thouroughly enjoyed our time here. We are already talking about coming back next year. If you are wondering if you should book this place, the answer is YES.

Quiet and Secluded

We had 3 awesome nights to hang out at the cabin. We packed so much into our days that it was so nice and comfortable to come back to and kick our feet up at night. The views were outstanding. We had visits from the local doe and her fawn, a coyote pup one night, and breakfast with the birds outback. Super neat to see what the ranger station used to look like before they upgraded it. We would love to come back someday!

Comfy cozy stay

Great little cabin by the woods. Our two children LOVED the loft. The location is a great mid point between all the obvious stops one would make while visiting the hills. The cabin has everything you would want. Stop by a grocery store in Rapid prior to coming here if you plan on making your own meals which we did since they have every amenity to make your own food! There is a great little trail/creek not far from the cabin which we loved and seeing the sun come up over the mountains every morning was a plus as well. Will be staying again.
