    You will not find a better cabin than this. The view of the mountains, the water and a white Christmas weekend was what this family needed for a wonderful family holiday!

    We truly loved our stay here!!! Daniel was a wonderful host and a great communicator. The location was incredible and the views were absolutely stunning. I wish we didn’t have to come home. Our family’s favorite activity was the ping pong table!

    What an awesome property! We stayed with our three teens and there was never a dull moment. Kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, and fishing were the highlights, but they also loved the ping pong, foosball, frisbee golf, and listening to old records. I appreciate the cleanliness, updated decor, well stocked kitchen, and amazing views. Great hiking is a very short drive away. We hope to come back!

    My family of 4 puppers had the best time during our mini mountain summer getaway. The amenities were outstanding and provided entertainment for the entire stay. My 2 young boys especially loved the disc golf, foosball, fishing, and canoeing. The location feels secluded but is an easy drive to main roads and attractions in Black Hawk and Nederland as well as TONS of hiking in Golden Gate Canyon. Daniel was so kind and communicative before and during the stay. Thank you for an amazing vaycay!

    Unbelievable home and wonderful day over the 4th of July weekend! The location and home are so beautiful and comfortable and the proximity to the little lake was really charming. We would absolutely love to stay here again!

    My fiancé and I stayed at the container house for 3 nights. The house had a lot of amenities and was very comfortable. We saw lots of wildlife (including moose!), a great place to see the stars at night, and had good internet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    My husband and I stayed here with our dog for a weekend getaway. We marveled at how gorgeous and perfect every aspect was. The views are spectacular and the inside is very stylish and modern. The furnishings were all super comfortable and welcoming. One of the best perks was the barrel sauna. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. For being just 30-45 min from the front range, it felt like being much more remote and secluded in the mountains. We definitely plan to come back with a larger group as it seems ideal for kids as well!
