My family and I truly enjoyed this cabin for our vacation basecamp! Our week in the area was slightly dampered by bad weather, but even the days spent inside were eventful with several wildlife sightings. One day, in particular, we were visited by two bull moose. They bedded down 15 yards from the living room window for about 3 hours before giving us plenty of picture opportunities out of the bedroom windows at about 8 or 10 feet! It doesn't get much better than that! This property is definitely on our list for a possible return in the future! My thanks to all that made it possible!!!
The view of the mountains from the deck was beautiful. The yellow Aspen all around was great. The cabin was nice and provided most of the things needed to stay there. The wrought iron table and chairs on the deck were a little cold to sit in since the weather was somewhat chilly. There were a few things that we were concerned about regarding safety. The ladder going up to the loft did not have any handles at the top in order to get off of it and onto the upper floor. The gravel in the driveway slide down onto the entry porch which made it somewhat slippery to carry things from the car to the door. There were a few sharp corners that could cause injury. like the sharp tile corner on the shelf at the end of the tub. We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and the scenery was wonderful.
We had a great time exploring the Colorado area around the cabin and then coming back to the cabin and relaxing and being older (65+) enjoying just a relaxing day in between exploring days! Thank you!
The cabin was exactly as shown in the listing and better. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking 'accessories' - even a crock pot!! Very clean, beautiful view, quiet neighborhood. Easy to communicate with questions before and during.
Beautiful Cabin-Beautiful land
The view was gorgeous, and the cabin was clean and well-appointed. It had all we needed to enjoy our stay and relax. Kids loved the loft!
The cabin was in excellent condition and provided a very comfortable stay. It was so relaxing and quiet. Loved hearing the sounds of nature and gazing at the stars at night. No complaints.
Awesome mountain cabin, it was beautiful and clean. Had everything we needed to have a great and relaxing vacation. Great views, beautiful cool mountain air, and a great view of the stars!
A wonderfully relaxing getaway from urban and commercial living. Supremely quiet and fully equipped with everything you need. Comfortable beds, great showers. We got all responses within minutes. One of the top rentals we have ever stayed in.
Stay was super awesome! Everything we needed!
Beautiful mountain cabin stay for a couple or small family. Great location and beautiful views. Would be even better if some of the trees off the back porch were trimmed for the view. Mosquitoes/bugs were definitely a problem. Bring deet! Also, there is no A/C in the cabin. Not a big deal, but it can get pretty toasty in the middle of the day during the summer. The wiring in the house is a little screwy, some of the lights/fans don't work properly or are connected so you can't have the lights/fan on/off separately. The bathtub was great and the porch was very nice when not getting attacked by bugs. We could not find a remote for the DVD player. Kitchen had everything you need. Plenty of towels. We had a great time!
The house was as advertised. I could definitely tell that this home has been cared for and planned out. It met our expectations and made our vacation flow easily with no hiccups. The community was quiet and relaxing. Will definitely recommend.
This place is absolutely beautiful. The house was clean and had everything needed to have an amazing stay. We will definitely be staying again! Would recommend this place to anyone.
My wife and I had a wonderful stay for our honeymoon. The process was so easy and the cabin was very well located for access to so many places. Highly recommend this property!
From the minute we walked in, it was such a warm vibe. From the wood accents to the views outside, it was truly our cabin on the mountain! All essentials were easily found, the cabin was very clean, and instructions were clearly noted in the folders on the bar. I can’t say enough about the views! Thank you again for making our time away so special!
Very comfortable for 2 adults. Might be a little challenging for children because of the loft, loft access, and one bathroom. But great for 2. Neighborhood is good. Lots of wildlife. Good access to hiking and other outdoor activities. Wonderful views. Very relaxing.
we had a great time fishing the Arkansas River and around Fairplay. Cabin was really comfortable and clean. Stars were great.Nice place to relax. Thanks
I would have given an excellent except for the amount of cleaning I was required to do before checking out. We were asked to wash all the towels. We were asked to vacuum the crumbs. We were asked to empty the trash and take it to a community dumpster. It said it was to make it nice for the next guest. I thought that was what a cleaning fee was for. The housekeeper only had to change the sheets and hang new towels. So although I enjoyed the property, I didn't enjoy the extra work. By the way, I guess the previous guest didn't follow your rules as there were crumbs on the floor and chairs.
Great property in convenient location. The gated community and fishing pond were definitely a plus!
Had a great time. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed to make meals and relax. The neighborhood had trails that lead to forest service property and private fishing ponds. Ponds were stocked with 12-14 rainbows that were eager to eat a grasshopper fly.
Beautiful accommodations, great area, lots of new construction all around, along with the noise, during working hours. I’ll be back when the construction wanes.
Nice stay in a beautiful cabin in the Colorado mountains.
What a beautiful place and what a view.
From the moment we opened the door we knew we were in for a fantastic weekend. Property was outstanding! The perfect relaxation spot. They didn't miss a beat from comfort to kitchen essentials to outdoor views. Can't wait to get back !
Misty Mountain was a great cabin to spend some time in. I was in the area for business and stayed there for 5 days. The cabin was well furnished with everything I needed and much more. The beds were extremely comfortable. Normally I wake up with a back ache at hotels but the master bedroom mattress was great. My daughter also loved the mattress in the guest bedroom. The cabin was surrounded by trees and had gorgeous views. I loved the porch furniture. It was so comfy! I would certainly return to this cabin.
Had a great week at the cabin.
