Cozy mountain cabin 1 hour from Denver with direct access to National Forest

The cabin was designed for you to get away, relax, and enjoy some peace and quiet. The 700 sq/ft cabin may be small, but it is mighty! We have purposely created a space with *no TV* so you can unwind and decompress, but of course, internet is available on the property for your own devices. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are one space allowing for intimate time together. The large bedroom has a king bed (with Leesa mattress) and a fold out twin bed. There is also another fold out twin bed in the living room. The deck is perfect for early morning coffee or late night drinks. In the winter, curl up in front of the wood stove after a day of skiing or exploring. Access to National Forest is directly from the property at the back gate allowing you to enjoy hiking and biking in the summer and fall and in the winter enjoy nordic skiing, snowshoeing, and more.

- comfortable vegan leather couch
- grey sitting chair (that folds out to twin bed)

This is a beautiful cabin, very comfortable. Make sure that you have the access code to get in well before you get there. You will not have any cell phone coverage while in that area until you can use the Wi-Fi at the cabin. Cell phone coverage in the area is spotty at best. Also there's not a lot in the area for groceries or dining out unless you drive to Blackhawk, Central City or Nederland. So you might want to bring some groceries in. We had a few snags with access and Wi-Fi which the hostess promptly helped with. The best part of this place is the deck. We spent a lot of time enjoying the view, the smells of the forest, the hummingbirds. The front door entrance area is not a bad place to sit and enjoy a different view too, getting out of the sun or rain.

Best Anniversary trip

The little cabin was amazing! Note to anyone staying here: everything is 30 minutes away, and the establishment closes early. Coming from Texas, we had some learning opportunities. Everyone is so kind! This little cabin is great if you need to recharge or if you need a getaway to get some work done.
