Modern mountain retreat! - Pet friendly - wi-fi

Included everything we needed for a quick getaway and provided us with and nice, relaxing view. Thank you for allowing us to stay! :)

House really needs a good deep cleaning. Floors needed vacuumed, bathroom sink was dirty and the wall had toothpaste splattered on it. There were only 2 wash cloths for 5 people so we had to drive 30 minutes to buy new ones. The yard needs picked up also, not very inviting. Trash, wood and junk scattered around.

This review was going to be a 7 or 8 out of 10 despite shower hair, dryer lint, broken laundry doors, loose sink, power out on a 40 morning, neighbor’s dogs barking nonstop, loud AC/fridge, no closet space because only closet is locked, and BAD Viasat dial-up style Wi Fi, so forget online work. We expected a 100 VRBO to be like this, but day 19 of our 22-day stay broke the camel’s back. The water stopped. I messaged, called, and left a voicemail, no reply or call back. VRBO reached the host and said the owner promised water tomorrow and a partial refund. We're used to camping, so we agreed. Next morning, still no water. I messaged asking what to expect, no reply. Hours later, I messaged again, again no reply. Later, VRBO called the host again, said they had trouble getting water, and approved a refund. So, we left. Water was not the crux of the bad review. The problem was the host leaving us in the dark after several attempts. Had they explained anything, we would have worked through it. The host replied late after we left, saying they just saw our messages and had a VRBO mix-up, admitting fault, but it felt like a slap in the face. Seeing days’ worth of messages, my call, and voicemail, after leaving us in these conditions, is poor hosting. Renter beware. I left a water container under the porch. Fill it in case the well runs dry/cistern goes empty/owner forgets to pay the bill (no idea how this works since we got no context), so you may flush the toilet and have coffee.

Home was nice and warm, comfortable. Sadly there was mouse droppings in 2 kitchen drawers, one with silverware. I had food on the counter inside a bag, not just sitting on the counter and mice got into that food also. The info the host left said there would be washcloths in bathroom vanity, no washcloths anywhere and no dishcloths. I am disappointed because we will be going to that area frequently and the location was perfect to getting to our daughter’s place.

It was perfect for what we needed. Really appreciated the communication from the host. Would recommend and would stay again.

We had an excellent family weekend at this location. The proximity to fossil beds, cripple creek & eleven mile canyon was great. We spent the days exploring the area and the evenings enjoying the extremely well equipped cabin.

Great location for us. Close to Cripple creek and several other nearby small towns. Great retreat from the hustle and bustle of Denver. We grilled burgers and porkchops on the 2 evenings here and loved dining on the big back deck. Owner had a spare propane bottle if needed which I thought was an awesome bonus. We will return again.

We loved our stay. House was great and the view was awesome

A cozy house to stay in. The front porch is awesome. Will be coming back for another stay

Needs better/new property management! On arrival the cabin didn’t appear to have been cleaned from previous guests. Beds were hastily made giving appearance of having been slept in recently. Towels in bathroom were folded but wet. There was toothpaste, lotion and powder left all over bathroom sink and vanity. Toilet needed scrubbing. Floors throughout had hair and dirt accumulation-definitely needed vacuuming and mopping. Dishwasher had been run but not unloaded. Trash was removed from inside but not cans from recycling container. The outdoor garbage bin was completely full with no space for any trash we had. We arrived on Sunday and trash pickup was Thursday. Wednesday night a bear got open the trash bin and scattered trash all over driveway. We were told someone would be over to pick it up, however when we left Friday trash still remained. The owner was easy to contact and attempted to address issues but property manager didn’t follow through. Definitely a disappointing experience with this rental but we made it work and enjoyed all the outdoor activities we planned.

For the benefit of our dogs, we sought a 4th of July escape from urban fireworks. We were delighted to find that Craig's cabin was well represented by the listing photos.The cabin is equipped with a mini-split cooling system, which kept it quite comfortable despite rising daytime heat; comfortable beds ensured restful nights. We also appreciated the fully stocked kitchen and the elevated food and water station for the dogs.

It was what we needed but upon arrival we noticed it wasn’t vacuumed the bathroom towels were hung up soaking wet. Kitchen counter tops were dirty from the previous visitors and the coffee pot was still filled with old coffee. Dish washer wasn’t unloaded and still wet. Tooth paste splatters on the bathroom mirror and vanity, hair all over the bathroom. After a quick wipe down and washed towels it was everything we needed.

Beautiful location and view. Everything was as stated. Craig was very helpful and responsive with helping solve a slight issue we had. Thank you again.

Only there basically for sleeping & breakfast.At first didn’t understand the heating situation, but after discovering it was with the a.c.unit , the heat was OK.A child’s toy on the floor & 1 wastebasket not emptied.Other than that everything was OK

Had a great family time and enjoy the peace and beauty of the mountains

I got to spend quality time with my grandchildren. They enjoyed all the activities that were nearby.

Enjoyed every minute of my stayThe property was perfect

Loved my stay in this Mountain retreat. Close to many outdoor activities. My dog and I had a great time.

House was smaller than expected. We had an issue with the braker, it tripped when i was in the shower so i had no water. You cant have heaters on while showering. It takes a while for the house to warm up. Communication was excellent though 👌

We loved our stay in Craig's cozy little cottage! It was really a great place to come home to each day after exploring so many wonderful places that are nearby. It had everything we needed plus amazing views from the front porch
