ABOUT THIS SPACE Welcome to Cowboy Cabin Ranch — a beautifully restored 1919 treasure nestled in the peaceful pines of Black Forest, Colorado, just outside Colorado Springs. Set on 14 secluded private acres of pasture and forest, this one-of-a-kind western retreat offers guests the chance to unplug, unwind, and reconnect — with nature, with loved ones, and with a simpler way of life.
This isn't just a stay — it's an experience. And with elk recently spotted grazing in the front pasture and deer roaming through the hammock garden, the magic starts before you even walk through the door.
THE SPACE The Saloon There's nothing quite like it anywhere else — step into the authentic western saloon room and feel the spirit of the Old West come to life. Saddle bar stools, rich western décor, a bar, and a second electric fireplace make this the ultimate gathering space for storytelling, laughing late into the night, or simply soaking in a setting you won't find anywhere else. It's the room guests talk about long after they leave.
Living Area The living room is warm and inviting, with an electric fireplace, cozy furnishings, and western touches throughout — cowhide chairs, saddle stools, and charming details that make the space feel authentic and lived-in. The dining area, surrounded by windows overlooking the pasture, makes every meal or card game something special.
Kitchen The kitchen is fully equipped and stocked with everything you need — essential seasonings, cookware, and complimentary coffee to start your mornings right. Whether you're cooking a full family meal or a quick breakfast before heading out to explore, you'll have everything at hand.
Master Suite The master bedroom features a king-size bed and its own fireplace — a cozy, private retreat after a day of exploring the property or the surrounding area. A barn door curtain connects to the bunk room, making it an ideal setup for families.
Second Bedroom The second bedroom offers a comfortable queen-size bed, providing privacy and comfort for additional guests.
Sleeping Summary Primary: King bed with fireplace (connected bunk room via barn door curtain) Bedroom 2: Queen bed Bunk Room: Accessible from master suite 2 full bathrooms 3 Smart TVs — living room and both bedrooms High-speed internet throughout
Note: Though there's no air conditioning, the fresh Black Forest mountain breeze keeps the cabin naturally cool and comfortable — open the windows and let the mountain air do its work.
OUTDOOR LIVING Cowboy Cabin Ranch truly comes to life outside. With 14 private acres of pasture and forest to explore, there's no shortage of space to roam, relax, and reconnect with nature.
The hammock garden, reached via a lighted path through the trees, is designed for total relaxation — lie back, breathe deep, and let the canopy above do the rest. The rocking chair porch, with four classic chairs overlooking the open pasture, is the perfect spot to slow down with a morning coffee or an evening drink.
The fenced backyard is a safe haven for your furry travel companion, with a second cozy lounge area where you can relax with a drink or a book while your pup plays nearby.
For friendly competition, fire up the barbecue for a cookout and choose from cornhole, badminton, or horseshoes outside — or head indoors for cards, Chinese checkers, backgammon, Uno, chess, and more. Everything is designed to bring people together.
WILDLIFE Keep your eyes on the pasture — elk have recently been spotted grazing out front, and deer regularly wander through the hammock garden. It's the kind of unexpected magic that turns a great trip into an unforgettable one.
PERFECT FOR Cowboy Cabin Ranch is ideal for families seeking a nature-filled adventure, couples looking for a romantic and unique retreat, dog owners wanting space to roam, and anyone craving something genuinely different from a standard vacation rental. If you've ever wanted to experience the spirit of the Old West without sacrificing modern comfort — this is your place.

We really enjoyed staying at the Cowboy Cabin. It was so relaxing to walk the path behind the cabin listening to the wind in the pine trees. The cabin was warm, interesting, perfect for a get away to meet family. Grandkids loved the bunk beds and saddles at the bar. Nice rocking chairs outside.
