Happy with location…

Enjoyed staying here for a graduation celebration. The host was very accommodating. There are a lot of other cabins in the direct vicinity and so you are not alone and it’s close to busy road. Would stay here again if opportunity presented itself

Wonderful Getaway

The property was fantastic. We truly enjoyed our stay. The coffee bar was a very nice feature for 2 parents after a long day of driving!! The owners truly thought of everything. My kids immediately felt at home and found a variety of toys, puzzles and books to keep them engaged and unplugged! My husband and I were able to enjoy coffee on the deck with a beautiful view of the mountains while the kids walked the property looking for deer tracks. If we find ourselves up this way again, we will definitely book the cabin again!

Great place

If you want to be close to all the touristy action this is NOT the place for you. But for us the location was great. The property is well maintained. The owners were nice and friendly. There's a rice cooker and a crockpot for those who want to do a lot of cook. We don't personally care for select comfort beds but we were prepared for that with our own memory foam pads. We had a great time and would book again if ever in the area.

Cute and cozy cabin

It was a cute and cozy cabin and the reviews were as they stated. Easy access to get in and the other thing is it is a little closer to the main road and you can hear the traffic going by. If you’re just wanting a place to stay because you’re there for the outdoor scenery then this is perfect!!

Perfect for young family

This was a perfect location for our family. We loved the feel of being in a wooded area with the convenience of grocery stores and restaurants. The drive into Colorado Springs , Manitou, etc. was easy as long as you planned a little around “rush hour” traffic. The cabin itself was clean and cozy like a cabin with modern touches. It was nice to have a hallway between the kitchen/dining and living with young kids. We could send them to the living area while we prepped meals. There was a dedicated kids room with two twins which was great and had kids items like an art table with coloring books and crayons. The master had a nook area with an additional bed which could be used for one of the kiddos. There was a closet full of games and toys which was a huge plus for us. The wooded area around the cabin was fun for the kids. There was another closet with some outdoor play items which was great. The fire was nice for s’mores however the lighting feature didn’t work so we had to get creative. The kitchen had every amenity we needed including some cooking items like cooking spray, oils, and spices. I would highly recommend!

Great location

Cabin is so cute and in a great location! I wish I could give it a 4.5 stars! My only complaint was the AC couldn’t be turned down below 73. We are from Arkansas and woke up sweating the first two nights. After that, I guess we got more used to the weather and had a great time!

We really enjoyed our stay at this well appointed cabin. It was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The master was quite large. There were two decks, a grill and a gas firepit. Our family also enjoyed the provided games and books. I highly recommend this cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Debra Gerdin

Host profile image
As an Army family of six, we had the opportunity to travel around the world, but are thrilled to have finally settled down in Colorado Springs.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Colorado Springs and this property 13 years ago. This particular cabin is one of seven cabins, which were built in 1925, on six and a half acres of forested land. Although we have fully renovated the 90 year old homes, their history remains largely intact.

What makes this property unique

We will do what we can to insure our guests a comfortable and enjoyable stay.
