Our goal was to stay a few days at a mountain cabin getaway, where the weather would be cool during the middle of the summer and a place where we could relax. This property certainly fit the bill. It was quiet, comfortable had everything we needed for simple cooking in the kitchen and on the grill. The bedrooms were also comfortable and the HVAC and plumbing all worked fine.

Lake View

This home was perfect for the four adults in our group. The home itself was very nice and well appointed with views of the lake below. Hiking was easily accessible and it was easy to travel to Leadville. We all enjoyed our stay.

A relaxing and quiet getaway!

We wanted a getaway in the woods with stars and that’s exactly what we got! The kitchen has all the basics and more. The beds are comfortable and the cabin is exactly as pictured. The deck overlooks a nice lake and there are friendly squirrels and the hummingbirds are amazing! I highly recommended this location for a quiet getaway!

Nice cozy cabin with lovely lake view that comfortably slept our 5 adults. Upstairs bathroom roof pitch is low for adults but would work great for kids.
