Located just 37 miles from Colorado Springs, nestled on 1.27 acres of tall pines and aspen trees, Paws in the Pines offers the perfect blend of modern convenience and natural beauty in this all-season cabin.
<br>In an area known for natural beauty and abundant public lands, it can be your perfect base camp for all your adventures. The location is ideal for exploring the region’s riches, less than 30 minutes to almost everything the area has to offer from world class fishing, hiking, museums, history, gambling, great food, etc.

It’s close enough that you don’t spend all your time driving, yet it feels like a world away. To get to the cabin, your picturesque drive winds through hillsides adorned with elk herds, horses, yaks, Huerfano cows, miniature donkeys and more. Then, a short one-mile drive on a maintained dirt road brings you to your mountain oasis where you are surrounded by towering trees and welcomed into the tranquility and serenity of the mountains.

When you step inside, you are greeted by the rustic and somewhat quirky charm of the recently remodeled interior. Taking a cue from the numerous bear paw prints found in the snow when Paws in the Pines was first purchased, a theme developed. Embracing the wild spirit of Mother Nature’s mountain animals, each space is adorned with statues, wall hangings and pictures that pay homage to the diverse wildlife that call the mountains home.

This delightful retreat is adorned with wildlife accents and cozy furnishings carefully curated for comfort and character. In a bit of whimsy, the animals are even named.

Beautiful beetle killed blue stained pine are gorgeous feature walls in both the living room and bedroom where the focused lights highlight the unique character of the wood.

Your first fire in the woodburning stove is prepared and waiting for you. Just light the fire and settle in. The flickering firelight will invite you to snuggle up with a good book, good drink and a good time.

The well-appointed kitchen is equipped with everything needed to prepare your own special meal. The open floor plan allows cooking while still engaging with others, even watching the 55” smart television in the living room.

A vintage lawyer’s bookshelf offers many books, games and puzzles to fill your quiet time, or stay connected with our high-speed satellite internet by Starlink.

Romantic nights await as you reconnect with your loved one with firelight, flickering (non-flame) candles, adult libations, your favorite tunes and a little dancing in the moonlight on the wide-open floor. It doesn’t get any better than this.

During the days, relax on the gorgeous gated front deck where you can lounge in the loveseat, catch some sun and simply soak up the mountain vibe. Unwind and enjoy the sounds of nature through birds chirping, hummingbirds buzzing, leaves rustling and gentle whispers of the clean mountain air. Watch the wildlife as you blow bubbles off the enclosed back deck that features a barbeque, patio table and chairs, and a propane fire pit.

Dogs are welcome to snuggle on the numerous dog beds, blankets and bowls that are provided. Gated front and back decks allow them to enjoy their own unique experience. A large, fenced area adjacent to the cabin is dedicated just for our furry friends.

Later, step outside in the crisp mountain night and gaze up at a sky view that is internationally acknowledged as a Dark Sky Area. Moonbeams dance through the pine trees as you may hear the howl of wolves at the Colorado Wolf Sanctuary and Wildlife Center. Experience the tranquility as winter’s snow, illuminated by the moon, appears almost fluorescent.

Don’t miss out on the chance to experience the magic of this quaint cabin. It’s an enchanting haven that reminds you it’s time to take a break, create new amazing experiences and memories, reconnect with nature and embrace the simple joys of life.

    The pictures dont do this place justice. It was beautiful and amazing. Everything about this place was wonderful. The host response quickly to any concerns or questions u may have. The view is amazing especially at night. It was so peaceful. I loved watching the humming birds come and go from the feeder. Never would have thought humming birds would be in the woods. Lol. Got to see deer at night and early morning. Everything was labeled so it was easy to find anything you was looking for and the snacks they leave are amazing. Wish i could have stayed longer. Definitely will be back again!

    This is by far a “cut above” other cabins! It is exactly as described, has everything that you could possibly need. Very clean, very comfortable cabin, the coffee bar and snack baskets, amazing. The back and front decks, beautiful, dog run, game changer, I could go on and on. The host even had dog beds, bowls, blankets and toys set out for our pups! Jody is very responsive and gave us many dog friendly hiking suggestions. Such a peaceful location, perfect for getting away from it all. We will be back.

    This is the second time we have stayed at this cabin, and it was just as wonderful as the first time! It’s so peaceful and secluded, but only a short drive from everything you could need. The hosts left us a lovely bottle of wine and treats for our dogs. They have thought of everything you might need while you are there. The bed is very comfortable and there were plenty of blankets. This is the first time we have ever rebooked the same cabin, so that really says a lot about this location. I highly recommend!

    Paws in the Pines is a very cozy and comforting space. It's clear that Jody and Dwight were very thoughtful in deciding how to set up the cabin; everything about the space feels intentional, from the layout to the decor to the helpful (and sometimes funny) labels. Some of the storage solutions appear to have been custom built for the space. All in all, it feels like a lot of love and care have gone into making Paws in the Pines feel joyful, welcoming, and functional. Jody also sent me a good amount of information prior to my arrival, including a cabin manual, which I found very helpful.The space is also well set up for anyone who wants to bring their pooch(es) with them. There is enough empty floor space to accommodate multiple dogs and their paraphernalia, and the outdoor spaces are all fitted with fences and gates, so pups and humans can enjoy being outside together.I also really appreciated that there were multiple options for heating the cabin. The radiator that is connected to the wall-mounted temperature control panel was fairly loud, and I am very sensitive to sound, so I ended up relying a bit more on the portable ceramic space heater and the two wall-mounted radiators in the bathroom and bedroom. There is also a wood-burning stove, although I didn't end up using it. I was plenty warm in the cabin, even though I visited in February.A very comfortable space for a retreat, along with many animal friends to keep you company; my favorites were Walker and Wilbur. :)

    We had a great stay in Paws in the Pines. This cabin has all the comforts of a home away from home. Jody and Dwight took care of every details to make this cabin comfortable for everyone even our dogs. I have stayed in a lot of cabins and the attention to details in this one is like no others . Everything in the kitchen looks brand new, from the appliances to the pots and pans . It has everything you need. We were there for 13 days and cooked almost every night It was easy to communicate, instant answers to any questions and Jody goes out of her way to make your stay comfortable. We were afraid of being cold in October but the cabin was really warm and cozy.The location is gorgeous, deep in the woods surounded by trees, mountains and wild life but yet not far to shopping and restaurants. The area is beautiful and just going to the grocery store takes your breath away. This cabin is really stunning and I love how it is set up for the comfort of the dogs as well. We are always a little worried to bring our dogs in the woods but the cabin is even set up with their security in mind. You can open the door and they are secure. There were treats , blankets and dog beds waiting for us when we got there . This was really perfect. We already decided to come back as soon as we can . I would love to see every season in the area.

    Even though we ran into some rain the first couple of days, We did enjoy the Cabin it was really amazing . The only part we did not like was there were no curtains on any windows but in the bedroom. A couple different days while we’re driving back to the cabin we seen deer eating on the side of the road. Then a doe and her baby was on the side of the cabin the day we left. We had a wonderful time walking the casinos in Cripple Creek . Met a few good people in the area with some friendly Dogs that we had to give some rubbings to . As we were missing our animals we have at home Altogether we had a great time and will be back next year we hope.

    Paws in the Pines is without a doubt the best home we have ever stayed in. Jody and Dwight are the most amazing hosts. Check in was super easy, the home is incredible and it was very easy to communicate with them when needed. The home itself is perfect, you will lack for nothing while staying there. So many thoughtful details, like strategically placed nightlights, nice cookware, plenty of towels available, etc. We spent mornings enjoying our coffee on the back patio, and evenings gazing at the stars and occasionally hearing the wolves howl. It’s location is perfect, we did lots of great hiking, visited the fossil beds and the wolf center, took day trips to Victor, Cripple Creek and FairPlay. Like another reviewer said I almost don’t want anyone else to know about this place lol. But Jody and Dwight are fantastic and deserve to be blessed with many bookings so here I am leaving my honest, 5-star review :).

    I've been staying at vacation rentals with my dog for many years now. This is, by far, the best experience I've had at any rental. The cabin is immaculately clean! Things are so well-labelled. Then the details and the absolute thoughtfulness of the hosts, Jody and Dwight. They are so generous with all freebies. They left welcome gifts for my dog and me. There are snacks and beverage mixes free for sampling. Freshly made ice (even king ice balls for fancy cocktails!) were stocked in the freezer. All sorts of travel toiletries if you forget anything. For your best friend: bog beds, bowls, blankets, toys, poop bags, and fenced-in relief area, porch, and back deck. Jody was a pleasure to work with: so friendly and kind. Of the dozens of homes I've stayed at, if Paws in the Pines isn't a 5-star experience, then none of my stays have been 5-stars. I hesitate to release this review only because I know that others will learn of this treasure in the woods!

    Our stay was nothing other than perfect. Jody and Dwight have thought of everything for their guests. We arrived after a long traffic detour on the road, to such a thoughtful birthday message and other treats. It was a perfect way to forget the traffic and start our long weekend of rest and indulgence. If you have a pup, they will be spoiled too. I have to say, Jody should be training other VRBO hosts. I have never seen such a responsive host and such tension to detail. We will be coming back.
