Amazing!

We can’t wait to go back! I don’t know who loved the shuffleboard more… the kids or my husband!? The views are amazing and this cabin feels like home. There is a short walk to the lake where we rented a boat for the day. Thank you for opening your cabin up to us as we created a ton of family memories!

Great family stay!

This was particularly nice for our family. Tons of games and videos on hand for kids if needed, although the weather was too nice to stay inside and use them. The marina is a quick 2 minute drive away or you can walk. Plenty of outdoor things to do in the area. It's a really nice place and the owners were super responsive for our last minute booking.

Great Family Get Away!

We recently stayed at the Taylor cabin and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. This is a great property - plenty of room, games, shuffleboard and high speed internet to stream the NHL playoffs! Silverthorne is only ~ 30 mins away if you need anything and there is great access to the Blue - both before Green Mountain Res and also downstream of the dam for fly-fishing action. We appreciated the quick response and attention provided by Sarah and Michael. Will definitely look to revisit in the summer or fall.

Great getaway

This turned out to be a great space for our family of 6 (plus two dogs!). We really wanted a relaxing place that had options for the kids to stay busy but really unplug from normal life. From paddle boarding and cliff jumping to fishing, darts, and renting a pontoon boat one day it really was fun. There were some afternoon showers but nothing too bad. You cannot beat the view in the back sitting around the campfire every night. I think it also made the kids appreciate some of the conveniences like a dishwasher, garbage disposal and more than one bathroom that they take for granted at home!! None of that was a big deal though, we managed just fine. Thanks so much!!

Felt like home

It was the perfect fit for our family. Great location, size home, amenities/well stocked, & the views! While there we BBQ'd, made smores (inside fire due to county restrictions), played a bunch of games (owner provided onsite) both inside and out, & watched wild life from the hammock. We were able to bring our dog who also seemed to love it just lying on the cool grass outside listening to the sounds of nature. We hiked (Cataract Loop Trail), and we rented a pontoon boat to swim and fish. All in all we had a great time, no one wanted to leave! The few questions I had prior to contract were answered quickly by the owners. Some friends of mine have already asked for the VRBO info for this listing based on our experience and I am happy to share. We hope to return in the future.

Relaxing, fun and exceptional family gathering spot just away from crowd

We found this house to be just what we were looking for. Somewhere a little quieter with great access to the water and other activities. First, the house met all our needs and was very comfortable for our family of 4 + lab dog and visiting grandparents. Everything we needed was there, worked well and was simple. The backyard was blissful, with hammock, extra seating, great for evening sits and entertaining. Our kids and visiting cousins LOVED the games and access to the water just a walk down the road, swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding every day. Was great to have phone plugged into the sound system and music throughout the house and outside deck. Fishing, a little slow- miss the Kokanee population of twenty years ago but laid-back Heeney has not changed much. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a comfortable, laid-back getaway exceptionally outfitted for family fun and gathering just off the crush of Summit county. Hope the be back again for a longer stay. Thanks Taylors!

High-Altitude Lakeside Retreat

This is a really fantastic and versatile place. If you have kids, they will have plenty to do! There's horseshoes, ping-pong, darts, shuffleboard, and foosball! There's also a great entertainment center with movies and a Wii, as well as a plethora of board games! It could be a great romantic getaway without the kids, or even a fishing trip (judging by all of the pictures of huge fish)! We needed to relax and cloud-gaze in the backyard, but there are all kinds of outdoorsy things to do nearby as well! All of the pictures and decorations made us feel like you were sharing your home with us, and it was so comfortable and cozy. We were also quite impressed with your shadow boxes, and it made us happy to know that we were supporting fellow veterans. Having just arrived in Colorado (after driving from Alaska), this was exactly what my wife, my son, and I needed! We were a little shocked by the altitude change, but we adjusted fairly quickly and had a wonderful and relaxing time. Thank you for letting us stay at your Cabin! Semper Fi! -Brad and Sarah Gering

Amazing

The house was perfect for what we were looking for, unplugging and quality family time. Hikes, the reservoir and the river are great. The house provided old school activities that we all enjoyed. Both the outside and inside fireplaces were utilized. The hosts were gracious and helpful. Check in/out was easy. We’ll be back.

Heeney Mtn. Lake Cabin

My daughter, who is attending grad school in CA, usually likes to get away to the mountains when she is visiting. She also enjoys fishing so this was a perfect choice. We had lots of laughs and created many memories while out on a boat from the marina and all the things to do at the cabin. Shuffleboard and the hummers were my favorites. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a great 3 days!

Peaceful Getaway in Heeney

The property was spotlessly clean and immaculate when we walked in - it's a comfortable, home like space that is warm and welcoming. Truly, all you need to bring is clothes and groceries, it's that thoughtfully and well stocked. The games were varied and amazing to have at our disposal, the space is very well laid out and cozy. The deer across the back lawn and the humming birds remind you that the home is somewhat remote. The whole family had an amazing time.

Quick mountain trip

We are Colorado Natives and have driven by Green Mountain Reservoir our whole lives when driving to Steamboat. Never did we think we'd stay here. Beautiful views from the cabin. Went to Cateract Lake and hiked it twice very pretty hike. Had our Husky with us. It was so nice to have a dog door and a little area for her to hang out whenever she wanted. That's the main reason we decided on this place. Deer in the yard every morning. I wished it had a screen door on the back door, or the porch was screened in like I think it was supposed to be. The Host was very kind as well.

Lake Escape for all

Taylor Cabin had every amenity we needed. The afternoons were hot so we stayed inside the cool house and played board games, ate great food, and of course I napped. The view, the hummingbirds, green mountain, and of course the star of the show the lake and night sky. Highly recommended.

Great place to unwind

My kids (7 and 10), our dog and I had a great time for nearly a week. The views can't be beat and there is plenty to do without even leaving the cabin. We spent most of the time playing ping ping, darts, suffleboard, fooseball, Wii, reading and watching movies. We had a couple fires in the firepit and used the fireplace one night when it was cool enough. We did go on a few short hikes and fished in the lake. It was a great place to unplug and enjoy each other. There is no cell service but the wifi was great and worked well for calls. Michael and Sarah were very communicative and the cabin was stocked with plenty of supplies so all we really needed to bring was clothing and food. We hope to come back sometime!

Peaceful late winter/early spring family getaway

We wanted a fun family getaway into the quiet mountains, and got it here! This place was great for the family with the shuffleboard, foosball, ping pong, and darts! We had a fire and roasted marshmallows, walked around the frozen lake, played in the snow, and went skiing too. Good old "off the grid" R&R for everyone, and Michael and Sarah were great hosts, giving detailed instructions and ideas, and checking in part way through. Thanks so much Taylor family!

About the host

Hosted by Michael Taylor

We are AF Veterans that retired in Colorado to have fun in the Mountains. We love the outdoors and are a very active family. We hope you enjoy our cabin as much as we do and ask that you take care of it as if it were your own, so we can continue to offer it for rent. We are using all of our VRBO money to make the cabin a better more accommodating place. Hopefully, next time you stay you will see the improvements over the years!

Why they chose this property

We love Summit County. We love skiing, hunting, fishing, hiking and anything outdoors. Once we discovered that there was a place available in a quiet community on a lake and within 45 minutes of the ski resorts we were in love. We bought the place and have enjoyed so many memories with our family and friends.

What makes this property unique

After a long day away from the hustle and bustle of the city (hiking, fishing, boating) enjoy the outdoor fire pit overlooking lake. Cabin includes full size Shuffleboard table, foozball, ping pong, darts, surround sound, local hikes, close to hunting, fun lake activities, great fishing. Drive without traffic to see the fall colors change and beautiful scenery. You will not regret staying off the beaten path in our personal paradise as you watch the deer, fox and humming birds in our back yard.
