Excellent mountain stay!

Beautiful, peaceful location right down the road from hiking trails. Plenty of space for my husband and three kids. Cabin was very clean. Kitchen was small so we brought pre made meals but this was not an issue for our short stay.

An adorable, secluded mountain cottage

Unique architecture, a wonderful main room dominated by a large bed, and a pastoral mountain setting all contributed to a wonderful, quiet stay. We travelled a short distance to Cripple Creek for a day trip and to eat during our trip as well. Highly recommend the location.

I loved this place! The river was unreal! I felt like I had the whole place to my self! The only issue I had was the plumbing noise that happens now and then. It would wake me up a lot at night.

Husband's 70th birthday

We loved the property and the surroundings. We did have a problem that was never resolved. The front inside doorknob was broken, and when I let the manager know by message, I was told it would be repaired. It wasn't. We were under the impression that it was a strictly no pets policy, but an unleashed Huskey was on the property, and it jumped up on our car doors.

Magical and luxurious!

We took our family to stay in Williamsburg cottage for the weekend and had a wonderful, magical time! Our kids (12 and 10) loved playing and walking around the grounds near the river side. The fall leaves, little bridges, and gazebo made the whole place magical. Inside the cottage was so nice, clean, romantic and luxurious. A small kitchen provided enough to heat up food, and small fridge for drinks etc. the gas fireplace kept us warm and cozy at night. It was hard to leave! Close enough to Divide, CO if we needed anything like gas, groceries, dining. Not too far from Woodland Park and Cripple Creek for more shopping and restaurants. We will definitely stay here again! Many thanks to Amy and Valley Glen for such a nice place to get away from it all.

Amazing time!

We came to relax and unwind and we did just that! This cozy cottage is the sweetest little hideaway! The smell of fresh air and the sounds of the rustling water right outside your door is enough to make you want to sleep outside (if there weren’t bears lol)! The bed is so warm and comfy and the cottage just has this amazing cozy feel! We felt so comfortable it was like our home away from home! ! It’s so close to everything that we wanted to see and the scenery on the way to the cottage is ever changing and absolutely gorgeous so the few minute ride was never boring. The only problem you might encounter is that you may never want to go back home! We will most definitely come back! Thanks for everything Amy! You’re so kind!😀

Beautiful property

Really enjoyed our time at this beautiful property. We enjoyed the drive up County Road 61 to the property and on our way to Cripple Creek. Even though it was a dirt road it was very well maintained. We saw a couple of elk while we were driving. The cabin was really nice and we enjoyed the fireplace on the cool early mornings and cold nights. Cabin was depicted very well in the pictures. Enjoyed walking around the property. Really wish we would have been able to meet the host. We needed more paper towels and bath towels but never saw anyone to talk to. We weren’t sure if the yellow house is where the host was located or not because the email said not to check in there because it was a private residence. They really need to update their listing. It listed breakfast items would be in the fridge and checkout time was listed as 11:00 am. In the email they sent they did state breakfast items would not be provided and checkout time was actually 10:00 am. They have a keurig coffee machine and it was nice they provided some cups. There was also a basket of snacks on the table but everything except for the granola bars were expired.

Cozy Retreat with Kitchenette (Oven Substitute)

Cozy cottage. Great for relaxing. The microwave convection oven did an amazing job on our baked dinner--bacon wrapped stuffed chicken breasts and frozen rolls. I was unsure about using the "oven," but found that the display prompts you with directions. The fireplace and quality sheets, and jacuzzi tub added to the sense of comfort and relaxation. Although measures have been taken for pest control, the efforts need to be increased.

Small slice of Heaven on Earth

The property is phenomenal, gorgeous everywhere you walk. The place itself was perfect for 2 people, very secluded, very romantic, very cozy. Cooking space was limited but doable. Plenty of refrigerator and freezer space too. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Likes and Dislikes

Property we rented wasn’t described well enough! We didn’t realize there were several rentals in a row. We also did not realize there was no oven for cooking etc, very tiny! Loved the creek, cabin had more living area than two people needed except for lack of a kitchen. Probably prefer a more isolated stand alone cabin in future. Price high for what we got!

Honest Review

The cottage was cute and clean. Close to everything, However, the mattress was very uncomfortable, the shower head was terrible, there are mousetraps all over( but for good reason, we caught one) not a big deal for us but it could be for others. Bring your own breakfast items, none provided, disregard what is stated on booking. This sounds like a bad review but it is not, we would most definitely stay here again, but the booking information needs to be updated as follows; parking is crowded, four homes within ear shot, no oven, Keurig coffee machine , no coffee pot as pictured ( we brought coffee and had to go back to town for K- cups).

About the host

Hosted by Michalle

Host profile image
The previous owner designed and built the three cottages in 2001--architecturally, it was designed based on what he thought Thomas Jefferson may have built--the scale is much smaller however—he believed Thomas Jefferson was the greatest architect for visual effect in the history of our country. Valley Glen is a truly unique place to stay in the Colorado mountains!

Why they chose this property

The mountains offer serenity and in our busy lifestyles, we all need that relaxation. This location combines a blend of a remote, romantic oasis with access to outdoor activities, historic locations, and the entertainment of gambling, shopping, and dining.

What makes this property unique

The Big Horn Sheep hang around frequently along with deer, elk, and my favorite is the awesome little Hummingbirds that stay around from May through Sept. AND if you are lucky (?) you may see a bear!
