Uncle Rick’s Cabin: A Pike National Forest Basecamp

Very peaceful. There are a few houses nearby, but didn’t hear another soul. Very clean and everything was very well stocked.

It’s a nice cabin in the woods. If you’re looking for a nice getaway then this is the place.

Our second visit in as many months! This lovely cabin is the perfect getaway. No traffic sounds, crazy kids on motor scooters - you get what I mean. The quiet is sublime.The cabin is beautifully stocked with coffee maker, toaster, microwave - all the basics. Each visit we took advantage and cooked all of our meals. Be careful as the smoke detector is a bit sensitive to a high heat sear of beautiful filet mignon. Might be best to use the bbq next time!I've attached an okay pic of the harvest moon!

Stay was wonderful. One of the best properties and great communication from host. We enjoyed our stay so much thanks to the amazing property. Was beautiful to look up at the stars, on the porch. We hope to return soon and recommend this property to anyone looking for a secluded cute cottage to rent. Lots of birds and they thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable.

Wonderful location and excellent host

Wow! Exceeded our expectations. Absolutely loved everything about this place kitchen was nicely stocked, Bed was comfortable and the bathroom towels well I felt like I was at a luxury hotel they were so plush! Surrounded by woods, the peace and quiet was much needed by both my husband and myself. lovely 4 day stay!

The check-in process was easy. The home had lots of amenities and everything that you would need for your stay plus was well stocked on extras. It is very cozy and quiet at the home. The owners were easy to work with and very responsive to our questions. If you want to get off the highway or out of town, it is a perfect location. We would suggest however that you have a 4x4 or all wheel drive vehicle with good clearance as a regular car may have some issues on the long drive up from the highway. We loved our stay and the convenience to local trails and only being a few minutes from town to get necessities or go out for a meal. Thanks for a great place!

We can’t wait to come back to Uncle Rick’s cabin. We loved opening all the windows and listening to the forest. We appreciated how well equipped the kitchen is and how clean the property was.

Beautiful cabin in what seems like the middle of nowhere but is only a short drive to Woodland Park. Great view, comfortable beds, and all you could need stocked in the kitchen. We didn’t realize the second bedroom was open to the living room, but since we were with our son, it was fine. Would highly recommend.

Very well kept. They provided everything and more than expected. Had a wonderful stay and very peaceful time at the cabin

We had a great stay in cozy cabin. It felt just remote enough to relax and recharge. As others have said, highly rec an SUV or 4WD vehicle for just one small steep portion of the road in. The surrounding forest is beautiful and the cabin had everything we needed!

Had a fantastic time at the cabin. It was well equipped with everything we needed. Very clean, great view, and some furry neighbors.

Our stay was wonderful. The cabin was in the heart of the mountains, yet still close to town. Cabin had everything we needed and more. We felt right at home and enjoyed sitting out on the porch listening to the wind in the trees. We loved our time .

We cannot overstate how much we loved our stay at Uncle Rick’s Cabin! It is even more gorgeous and homey than in the pictures. Everything you could need for yourself and your kiddos is there. The location is perfect to be able to access tons of hiking while also nearby to groceries and any other amenities you might need. The host was kind and responsive. We had everything we needed and more already at the cabin which made our stay very easy. We were able to cook for every meal which is rare at rentals these days. There were plenty of games as well as picnic blankets, a hammock, rocking chairs and a grill to enjance our stay. We can’t wait to go back to Uncle Rick’s Cabin in the future!

Excellent cozy cabin in the woods with all the extras for a comfortable stay.

The house was great and has everything you would need to enjoy your time there. A lot of thoughtful things like extra towels, sheets, soaps etc. It is a beautiful property with lots of wildlife interactions every day. Lots of deer, squirrels, birds and we even heard elk in the immediate area. We will definitely be back to this location.

As if 5 stars were enough! I cannot say enough great things about our stay. The house is beautiful and truly has everything you need! It is the perfect distance from the city/attractions while still providing seclusion. The host is very communicative and the manual with directions that was provided before check-in was very useful and appreciated. This is by far my favorite Colorado rental I’ve had the privilege of staying in and we will be back as soon as we can! Thank you! :)

Our family came to the Pike's Peak area to visit. This home was an excellent home base for all of the area attractions. Although we couldn't get to the summit of Pike's Peak due to weather conditions, we did enjoy Garden of the Gods, the Florissant Fossil Beds, and the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. The home had all of the amenities that we needed and it was clean and comfortable. The drive up was a little steep, but it wasn't overly concerning with a Toyota 4Runner. I would definitely recommend 4WD or AWD in the rain or winter time. The kids enjoyed exploring the property and the road around the house and were excited that they saw a hummingbird in the mountains! They loved the bunk beds and games, too! And the soft, comfy throw blankets were a nice touch on chilly nights sitting around the fireplace! Thank you for sharing your piece of mountain paradise with our family! When we come back to Woodland Park, we will definitely stay with you again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is smartly designed and has wonderful views. We were there for an extended stay and enjoyed sunrises lighting up the deck, walks and runs on the surrounding roads and trails, and the cozy fireplace. The host was superb. We highly recommend the place!
