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!
October 2022 we updated the kitchen 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. You see no other homes anywhere from the location of the hot tub. It is surrounded by forest and LOTS of wildlife. Enjoy your favorite shows our 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!
