Private cabin with the forest as a backyard. The location was perfect for us for hiking along the creek and relaxing on the front deck. Beautiful view and lots of deer and blue birds! Host was very responsive to questions.

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!
