Secluded cabin in Cascade with 360° views. Wildlife, Hiking, and Fishing
My cabin has breathtaking 360° vistas of Ute Pass and Rampart Range. Guests can take a stroll down to French Creek or explore the back roads leading to Manitou and The Incline. Despite feeling secluded in the middle of nowhere, downtown Colorado Springs is just a 25-minute drive away. Accessing the property usually requires a 4WD or AWD vehicle, as the steep one-mile dirt road may be challenging for vehicles with low ground clearance. Snow chains or other traction devices may be required in winter. You will have access to the main cabin (building on the left/south in the main picture), the garage and floor above are not occupied and are used for owner storage.
NOTE: the property has a Jacuzi bath tub in the main bathroom; not an outside hot tub.

The location is beautiful. The towels weren’t pleasant to use so bring your own. The home is beautiful but with all the stairs it was stressful to keep our toddler away from them which is my fault for not reviewing the listing better. I’ve never used this service before and it was a quick getaway. For the amount we paid to stay one night I won’t likely use the VRBO again, but it was a nice experience.
We had a very nice time at the property. Our host was extremely responsive to questions and check-in was seamless. You definitely need a vehicle with clearance to access the property, but I really enjoyed driving up the dirt road through large boulders and trees it added to the ambience.The one thing I was a little bit misled by was in the listing. It talks about the property having a Jacuzzi and it does have a Jacuzzi but it’s a Jacuzzi bathtub. I was under the impression It was more like an outdoor hot tub. I didn’t see it in the pictures and so I don’t blame the lister for misconstruing this it’s more my problem, but it is slightly confusing to see the word Jacuzzi on the listing as I think most people associate that with a hot tub. Other than that, it was a fantastic day. The location is excellent and you can access multiple trails and sites both in the Ute pass area and in Colorado Springs.
Beautiful home and property, acurate recommendation for a AWD or FWD vehicle for driveway to cabin.My husband and I were very disappointed to discover there was not a hottub as the property lisiting description stated although a jetted bathtub in the house. (The description has since but updated). Hot water heater in the house does not seem large enough to accommodate the bathtub however. Also we discovered no propane when we tried to grill our dinner and ot was too late to go to town to fill up the tank.
This cabin was perfect. We wanted a cabin in the woods and that’s exactly what we got. The drive up is as described, about a mile of off road terrain. We saw turkeys, foxes , deer ect. Manitou springs is a short drive and it’s absolutely adorable. 10/10 would recommend.
Great place, esp for remote work. Very secluded, but great internet access. Close to town, easy to run down for dinner or groceries. Views were spectacular.
This was the cleanest VRBO I’ve ever stayed in! Everything was just as described and we enjoyed our stay here! It had everything we needed and we would stay here again!!
We were slightly disappointed in the cleaning when we first arrived as the downstairs bathroom had not been swept, toilet, sink and mirror had not been cleaned and 1 of our towels had some stains. The first night we had no hot water. The owner immediately responded when I texted even though it was 11pm and came down right away to fix - that was amazing and very much appreciated! The cabin is very nice but could use some improvements and upgrades. Most of the outside furniture was broken, which stinks since outside is the best part! The experience of the cabin with the gorgeous mountain views made it all worth it though! We enjoyed so much sitting outside in the mornings and evenings!! The wrap around porch is amazing and we loved moving the couple of chairs we did have around to soak it all in. The location is perfect since it is in a beautiful spot and very close to everything we wanted to do. Another quick note is that the road to get to the property, 100% requires a 4-wheel drive vehicle and was very rough in some parts. And the gate is very cumbersome and inconvenient. Overall – Lovely Spot!
House was secluded and views were amazing. Opening the gate on the drive was a little combersome, but didn't hinder our stay. Was an amazing central location to everything we wanted to do on our vacation.
The cabin was awesome, very private and close to town. We had an awesome stay, spent half our time doing adventures around Colorado Springs and the rest of the time we enjoyed staying at the cabin.
Property was as described and secluded. Mile drive to house did require the right vehicle. Great mountain views all around the property. Would book again!
The cabin is extremely remote just like we wanted. A large buck and doe were our only guest. Be sure you have a 4 wheel drive vehicle for the trip. I will be back soon.
Had a nice brief stay for one night. Very fun to be secluded and off the beaten path.
There were lots seasonal flies as the weather turned cold--both dead and buzzing.
Still a nice stay in a mountain cabin feel.
The location of the property is unparalleled. It is completely by itself with great views all around. We spent most of our time outside, it was perfect.
The inside was kind of outdated and making meals at the house left something to be desired. The owner also messaged us about using the A/C too much. All in all, we would definitely stay there again. The setting and location of the cabin is what made the trip!
We celebrated our 30th Anniversary at this beautiful cabin. Our stay was perfect in every way. We enjoyed hikes from the cabin, seeing wonderful wildlife each day and the stars each night. The cabin was clean and equipped with everything we needed. Nils was the best host!
Our family loved this home and location. The views were breathtaking! The kids had fun having their own area downstairs including a tv room. We enjoyed sitting on the deck, relaxing in the hammock, and taking in the views. We were also able to go on hikes right at the house. The property felt very secluded and private, yet not far at all from town. If in this area again we would definitely stay here!

Hello, my name is Nils. I will have been living at this property for nearly 30 years. I hope you enjoy staying here as much as I have.
Why they chose this property
Almost 30 years ago, My fiance and I spent over six months looking for a property in Ute Pass. The realtor found this place, but it was much more expensive than we had planned. We immediately fell in love with the property and made an offer, but it was rejected. We we so disappointed. Then, a month later, our realtor informed us that the previous deal had fallen through and the owners would like us to purchase the property. It was fate that we were destined to buy one of the unique properties in Ute Pass. I hope you appreciate the area's beauty that my wife and I have had over the years.
