Perfect

We had an absolutely wonderful time at the cabin. We are a family of ten (3 daughters, 2 sons in law, 3 grandsons, plus my wife and I), and the cabin size was perfect. It had everything we needed. We sat on the wraparound porch every day watching the hummingbirds and admiring the beauty of the scenery below. A short drive to the reservoir allowed us to fish or hike the trail along the creek. We are all in agreement that this was the most relaxing vacation taken as a family. I highly recommend this cabin. We are already looking for dates for next year!

We love this place

We have stayed at Aspen Lake House many times over the last 10 years. Some of our best vacation memories have been here. The owners take very good care of the property and there is very good communication with the property manager. It is a beautiful place, and a beautiful home. You won’t be disappointed.

Aspen Lake House Family Vacation

My family and I throughly enjoyed this lake house for our recent family vacation. We had plenty of room and the views were spectacular! All of the rooms were very clean and each bedroom was large! We quickly realized that there would have been enough room to have brought the grandparents. It is close to the Skagway lake which was a great place to fish and picnic. I can’t wait to book another stay!

Amazing view

Our stay at this location started slightly rocky due to our lack of knowledge for the rough roads accessing the property. This was minor and only negative to be found. The property manager was quick to answer all questions and made sure all needs were met. We had issue with washing machine in which the property manager quickly made sure to have the issue looked into and repaired. The views are absolutely stunning and house is very spacious meeting our large parties needs very well. Would highly recommend this property to anyone interested. It is sometimes rough dealing with management of the VRBO properties but I can assure you that was not the case for this listing which made our stay extremely comfortable and left us feeling reassured at all times.

My favorite Colorado experience.since I was a child!

Views of Pikes Peak (you can see lights at night) and Cheyenne Mountain. A fantastic home with huge kitchen and massive main level covered deck which probably has more square feet than my house. Excellent fishing at the reservoir just down the road. We also saw a Bald Eagle, Coopers Hawk, Rufous Hummingbird and Stellars Jay. I also saw Big Horn Sheep on my way out. Perfect, Beautiful and Relaxing!..

Beautiful and serene

One of the best places we have stayed! Layout of the house and bedrooms was perfect for our family. We all have many stresses in our lives right now and this was a place to have some peace and just enjoy family time. Kitchen was well stocked. Home was clean and so comfy. There was room to spread out and plenty of solitude, but perfect for family meals and games. The reservoir was a short jaunt down the hill. Our group has decided to visit again. Just a wonderful experience. A true blessing when we needed it.

Great cabin and plenty of room

We arrived at this gorgeous cabin that is tucked up, up in the trees. Definitely a steep but fun driveway that brings you up to this gorgeous house. There is more than enough room for 2 familys plus. Large island with large tables to eat and play games on. We played cards at night with a few adult beverages. Bedrooms are great sized. Large rap around deck was awesome. The hummingbirds where cool to watch. We filled there water 4 times in a week. Once counted 15 hummingbirds at once around feeder. Short drive down driveway and right out the driveway and you have a wonderful reservoir to fish at. We enjoyed every minute of our stay. Matthew Gilbert

Amazing

This was an amazing experience. The cabin was absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views. Waking up in the mornings from the master bedroom allowed us to lay in bed while taking in the mountain/lake views and listening to the birds with the windows open. We also experienced waking up to deer near the cabin. There was also plenty of living space for dining, cooking, relaxing near the fireplace or spending time out on the deck’s. The lake was very convenient. The family absolutely loved the fishing experience as well as convenient hiking trails next to the river. It’s a beautiful place to escape the city life, yet not too far from home. The Hosts, Walter and Carolyn were just a phone call away and very nice people to work with. If you absolutely love nature, this is the place!!

Amazing New Years in the Snow at the Aspen Lake House

We celebrated the New Year at Aspen Lake House, and it was a phenomenal experience. Nestled in a secluded location, the house perfectly balanced privacy and convenience (an hour and a half from Colorado Springs). Our dream was to have a cabin in the woods where the kids could step outside and play in the snow, and Aspen Lake House delivered precisely that. We were greeted by freshly fallen snow that adorned the landscape throughout our stay, creating a picturesque setting for sledding and snow play. The house was great, boasting a well-equipped kitchen catering to all our culinary needs. Its two master bedrooms were particularly beneficial, offering ample space and comfort for our family and friends to share the dwelling without compromising privacy. The decks were a highlight, offering stunning, awe-inspiring views. However, the decks would really benefit from a built-in heater or a gas fire pit to allow winter guests to enjoy the majestic outdoor scenery even in the chilly winter months. We enjoyed our stay at the Aspen Lake House and would love to come back again in the summer or winter.

You cannot imagine how beautiful the views are!

Photos simply cannot capture the beauty of the property! If you are looking for secluded, peaceful surroundings, & a quiet place to relax, you will not be disappointed! The Aspen Lakehouse was even better than our family imagined! The house itself was comfy & well appointed. We prepared & ate every meal there, enjoying the views. We saw deer & hummingbirds! (we refilled the feeder every day)! Hostess provided information at the house regarding what to see and do in the area, where to go hiking, etc. A few items to note (we had no issues, just sharing info!): 1. There is no cell service; but WiFi works fine. 2. Woodland Park provides convenient options to pick up essentials such as fresh Papa Murphy’s pizza to bake at the house, or groceries (if you plan to prepare meals at the house). 3. The house isn’t near restaurants or tourist attractions, but those things were not a priority for us! 4. The driveway is steep, but our all-wheel drive vehicle made it fine. Our 2 daughters (professional musicians) filmed music videos on the property; by the granite wall, on the boulders, on the covered deck balcony, the aspen grove, and the grassy wildflower meadow! If you would like to get a better feel for the surroundings & see the views at The Aspen Lakehouse, search for “The Finestrung Duo”, on YouTube, Facebook, & Instagram & watch their music videos (the videos recorded on the property are tagged as “Colorado”)! We would be thrilled to stay at The Aspen Lake House again!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this place when we saw the beautiful house tucked away in a valley with over 40 acres of aspen, blue spruce and open meadows. We enjoy the majestic views of the mountains, the serenity of overlooking Skaguay Reservoir and hiking in one of the prettiest valleys along Beaver Creek. The many custom features of the house were another attraction from the gourmet kitchen, to the spacious living areas, the huge windows, and wide wrap around deck for relaxing outdoors.

What makes this property unique

The large wrap around deck affords expansive views of the mountains and lake. At 9,100’ elevation the house is wonderfully comfortable with gentle breezes and low humidity. The house is situated among the aspens with no other houses in view from the front deck which gives the place of sense of calm and serene seclusion. In the mood for a peaceful and quiet place to stay? Then this is the setting. Within walking distance of the house is Skaguay Reservoir and Beaver Creek, which are excellent for fly fishing for trout. There is canoeing and boating on Skaguay Reservoir and hiking, backpacking and camping in one of the prettiest valleys along Beaver Creek. Nearby are lots of activities from gold mine tours, hiking and mountain biking at Mueller State Park (over 5,000 acres of parkland) and horseback riding, exploring scenic byways and historic gold mine towns, white water rafting the Arkansas River, antiquing, shopping and more. The property is only about an hour and fifteen minutes southwest of Colorado Springs.
