This rustic, cozy, secluded cabin is perched on the side of a mountain just 10 minutes from the historic town of Cripple Creek. Enjoy the large wrap-around deck in sun or shade as half of the porch is covered and half is uncovered. Roll-up sun shades mounted on the covered deck are available to help protect you from the late afternoon sun, if desired. The view from the deck is stunning with a clear view of Mt. Pisgah. It is not unusual to see deer frolicking through the yard. Free range cows wander the area and free range donkeys roam through the town of Cripple Creek. The inside of the cabin boasts comfortable new furniture, a 4K UHDTV and sound system for a fantastic movie-watching experience in the evening. The TV in the living room has a Blu-Ray DVD player and the TV in the bedroom has a built in DVD player. You can stream movies to the TV or your personal device with our WiFi service.

It definitely detracts from the experience to have a blanket with holes that a horse could fit through (yes, really), or only 2 forks and a bent knife to eat with. That'll never be us. Not only are we determined to maintain our cabin experience the way we'd want it, we're committed to constantly improving the property. Here are some of the changes we've made: For 2020: - We upgraded our heat in the Living Room (+1000W) and Queen Bedroom (+500W). Get cozy faster. For 2021: - Added new pots and pans and new cooking utensils. - New kitchen faucet with pullout spray. - New Queen mattress -Thicker! - New side entrance, full length window in door and new storm door. For 2022: - New kitchen sink, double basin, much bigger! - New Ceiling fan in twin room (more fan upgrades coming) - New roof and gutters! For 2023: - TBD
