This was my children's first time visiting the state of Colorado. I really wanted to give them a unique VRBO stay that put us right in the middle of the mountains. This cabin did not disappoint!!!! We drove in from Denver once it was already dark, which made waking up to the views from the deck a jaw dropping experience for the entire family! The cabin is beautifully decorated. The kitchen has absolutely everything you would need for a comfortable stay. We even baked a birthday cake for my son & had all the necessities! The tempur-pedic bed in the master was a big surprise & so extremely comfortable! The fireplace makes this cabin even more cozy than it already is. Washer/Dryer combo was fabulous so we could go home with clean clothes. I can't emphasize enough that everything we needed was provided! Extra towels, wash clothes, pillows, toiletries, extra TP, dish soap, hand soap, etc. Downstairs the bunk room is extremely fun for the kids & there are plenty of board games to choose from. We were so impressed.
There are many great locations nearby for outdoor activities. We hiked Twin Lakes (the balcony overlooks these lakes) & saw a moose! We spent quite a bit of time near Buena Vista to visit the Mt Princeton hot springs & to fish cottonwood lake. Two day trips we highly recommend! The only thing we would do differently is hydrate more prior & bring extra oxygen canisters. The elevation if not acclimated is extreme. Overall, this vacation was everything we dreamed of!
