Week-long Get-a-way

In looking for nearby lodging for a personal get-a-way, I found this delightful cabin and received a quick response from the owner who resided close by. Everything from check-in to check-out was simply delightful. All the amenities enabled my having a most satisfying personal retreat. Also a great place for a couple who enjoy a daily view of deer passing by. Oh so peaceful here! Gratefully, Russ

Fall in Colorado

We spent 3 weeks at the cabin, the longest we've stayed in one place in years. This was a convenient base for all the places we wanted to see. For the two of us, there was plenty of room. We had all the comforts we needed, especially since we ate in most nights. Bev and her daughters were very gracious and helpful. If we come back this way we will definitely be staying here again.

Log Cabin getaway

Property was as presented. Owner was very friendly and a joy to speak with. Quiet surrondings and easy access to Woodland Park and Manitou Springs. Great for morning coffee and breakfast on the porch. Would easily stay there again if we choose to vaca in that area instead of seeing other parts of the greater Rocky Mountains. Bev, keep doing what you're doing with the property. Doug & Julie Peterson

Historic Crystola Cabin - Woodland Park, CO

When we first arrived to our cabin we felt so welcome. The cabin was clean and it was exactly as descibed in the listing. The owner had provided everything we could possibly require and so much more. The kitchen was equipped with all of the essentials and we had a very nice gas grill on the patio. We saw lots of wildlife including moutain birds, rabbits, mule deer and marmot's near Pike's Peak. This is such a beautiful place to stay and enjoy the outdoors. There are plenty of places to eat or pick up something to throw on the grill. And there was plenty to do, even if Mother Nature decided to cool the air down with a shower or two. The nights were cool and the bed was so comfortable. After a great day of hiking and a glass of wine to end the evening, this cabin was a home away from home and we can hardly wait to come back ! Thank you so much for a wonderful time and inviting us into your cabin home. God Bless !

Perfect Cabin Off the Beaten Path

A nice quiet little cabin. Just far enough from the highway to feel private, but still close enough that you can get to the surrounding attractions in a short amount of time. The host was very friendly and very accommodating. Me and my wife would recommend this to anyone couple staying in the Colorado Springs area.

A well kept beautiful historic home which quickly throws you back to a time when relaxing was a special time at the end of a hard day only you will feel that feeling all day everyday at Crystola Cabin. If you enjoy a comfortable, relaxing, clean environment with the most beautiful vistas this is the place for you. Can't wait to book another vacation to Colorado and the Crystola Cabin. Thanks guys!!!

This was a perfect cabin for two and in a great location to where we wanted to explore. Bev was a perfect host and responded to any concerns or problems that we had. She even accommodated 2 extra people staying one night. Went above and beyond setting the bed up. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Colorado Springs.

Cool Relaxing Getaway

The cabin was very clean and comfortable. It was nice meeting Bev and her daughter. The muffins, cookies, and mints on the bed were a special surprise. The sounds from the little water fountain by the porch was very relaxing while enjoying the beautiful Mountain Views. The cabin is tastefully decorated and has ample supplies. We had a very enjoyable stay at the cabin.

Beautiful Crystola Cabin & Canyon area

We enjoyed six refreshing days in Bevs comfortable and well appointed cabin. We were in Colorado attending a conference at Charis and the ease of access to the cabin & Woodland Park was wonderful! We had no issues that required reaching out to Bev or Jodie. But knew they were easily reachable if necessary. We trailered our motorcycle & enjoyed several rides in the surrounding area…Cripple Creek, Garden of the Gods & Hwy 67. There was plenty of room to load and unload the trailer at the cabin.

Absolutely PERFECT !!

Everything was perfect !! The cabin was in immaculate condition when we arrived and everything you could possibly need was provided. Bev and her daughter, Jody were the best hosts ever !! We loved driving on the dirt road to get to the cabin, brought back childhood memories of living in the country. All I can say is just WOW !! If you don’t stay here when you travel to Colorado you are missing out on a GEM !! We will definitely book this cabin again when we return to Colorado. We visited Pikes Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Boulder, Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, etc. Loved coming back to the cabin after a long day of sightseeing. Such a peaceful place to relax and enjoy nature. We were visited by a bear, deer and beautiful birds. Thanks again Bev for a wonderful stay !!

Nature Esape

We really enjoyed staying away from the more populated areas! The Cabin was quaint and very accommodating! The kitchen is stocked and the muffins were especially delicious! We had hoped to use the new fire pit but were unsuccessful in getting it to light. We were thankful for Bev's attentiveness due to a bear sighting and a flooded road! It was exciting indeed! So glad we made our decision to stay here! Thanks, Bev!
