Super clean!!!! My girlfriend and I were looking for a quick getaway and this was everything we hoped for. The seclusion was amazing and the scenery just as amazing! We had such a fun time being in our own little space being able to just be there with each other! The host was super accommodating and for our first time doing this vrbo thing I can say that was the best experience we had!
My kids and I loved staying here! It's a remote, gorgeous location -- but it was also quick to get back into town. The cabin was surprisingly roomy and very clean. There was a little bunny outside our door each morning. We had a great time.
Perfect setting and location for our stay which included a concert at Red Rocks, a tour of Celestial Seasonings tea factory, a visit to Boulder, Colorado Springs, Manitou, Garden of the Gods, and Pikes Peak. This mountain cabin was clean, comfortable, private, and filled with all the amenities we needed. We will definitely stay there again!
This property was as described and more. Was a great fit for our family of 5. Large mule deer outside the cabin every night and morning. Friendly and very responsive owners. Everything was perfect and would definitely book again!
The home and amenities were fantastic. My son and I stayed for 4 nights after spending a week in Boulder. Visited many of the local attractions and was great to come back to the house after hiking. Very clean and would highly recommend.
A little hidden gem. My husband and I enjoyed our three night stay. The quiet was just what we wanted. We did do some hiking and sightseeing and enjoyed getting to know the Palmer Lake and Monument area!
This cute little quaint cabin was perfect for our family! Close to great restaurants, shopping and live music! And, came back to the cabin to turn in and watch a movie, it was just what the doctor ordered, from our busy lives!

This little cabin was absolutely stunning! Very quaint and in an amazing location. Palmer lake is only a couple miles away which is an awesome little place to check out. We came to town for a wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch and this was a very convenient location only a few miles from the venue. If you’re looking to visit the area, I highly recommend a stay at this amazing cabin!
This property was very well kept and beautiful! It is in a rural location outside of Colorado Springs ( but easy to get to and very relaxing!)
The location is on the owners home property but it is very private and would definitely stay there again!
My husband and I stayed here 8 days for our 20th anniversary! It was perfect in every way!! The cabin was spotelss and very cozy!! The bed was very comfortable Located in a very secluded area (which we loved) but also close to restaurants and stores. Ashley was a gracious host and answered our questions quickly! I highly recommend mountain escape!!
We had such a wonderful time at the cabin! It is very well-maintained, super clean, and cozy! Beautiful wood railings, two king beds, and even fluffy towels! Communication with the host was excellent, and instructions for arrival were very clear. My husband and father in law were here for a wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch, which is less than 10 minutes away. Definitely would do it again! Thank you!
It’s so incredibly private and peaceful, in an idyllic country setting. Incredible attention to detail in the decor. Comfortable beds, soft linens. Gorgeous stained glass windows in unexpected places. I’ll be back!
This was a very nice little cabin. My brothers wedding venue was minutes away. I was very impressed with the kitchen having all needed items. The bathroom is very well kept and added bonus of washer and dryer. The rooms are very nice with very comfortable memory foam beds. Happened to be the same brand of mattress as at home! The running stream near by was very relaxing. Can not recommend this place enough!
I can’t say enough good things about this charming cabin with all of the modern conveniences. I booked it for a wedding but I plan to come back for myself for fun.
Hosts were thoughtful but not intrusive at all.
Bonus for me as a horse person to be surrounded by farms and enjoyed seeing the mares and foals across the field in the morning

Great find…almost don’t want to review so it’s available later. Only drawback was propane was out and we had planned to grill. Otherwise, nice place to stay.
Perfect getaway. Close to Palmer Lake. Quiet and picturesque. No central air, but fans worked well for ventilation. No pilot light lit for heat but small enough that when making dinner, that helped with keeping place warm in evenings. Beds, pillows, and linens super cozy. Definitely would like to go back.
