About this property

Colorado Rocky Mountains at Really Blessed Cabin

We are 10 minutes from Cripple Creek with the restaurants, casinos and the narrow-gauge train, trails, vistas of Pikes Peak, etc..

The fee shown is for the cabin with 3 bedrooms - 2 Queens and a King bed. Vrbo automatically bills for our Sleeping Quarters - Bunkhouse if you have 7 or more guests at booking. It has two queen beds in an open area & short loft. It is suitable for a small family of four. The Bunkhouse can be optionally added as a 4th bedroom if guests need separate arrangements (you will need to request that, please). Non-family groups should keep this in mind (work or employer retreats, etc.)... the fee is $100 per night if added as an option. For families, the total property will sleep 10 in beds and then we offer a Cot as well.

We do not allow construction employee housing use, construction work crews to rent the cabin due to prior damages. We do not allow parties or one person to book and others use the property. The booking party is the responsible point of contact and is required to stay at the property for the booking period. We allow 1 dog with the pet fee or maybe two small pups with approval.

Our listing is for the nightly rental of the Cabin. No weddings, ceremonies, receptions or parties are allowed in this booking type. We are a wedding venue so contact me if interested in this use and we can discuss touring the property, our contractual agreement and venue fees. To safeguard this, we have a view of the exterior and arbor areas via camera.

Our high-altitude Really Blessed Cabin (sitting at 10,200 feet) is a log cabin and property offering spectacular panoramic views of Pikes Peak and it's southern ridges in Colorado's high country above the picturesque Gillette Valley. From outdoor settings overlooking the majestic Pikes' Peak, to the log cabin that reflects the essence of the Rocky Mountains, Really Blessed Cabin helps create a truly "take your breath away" experience. This spectacular view is enjoyed from the interior front wall of vaulted windows, as well as, from the wrap around deck. The setting is dramatic.

LOG CABIN
The interior log cabin, appointed with vaulted, tongue and groove beamed ceiling is an ideal place where your family and guests can come together to celebrate your special day. Accommodations are for up to 6 guests in the main cabin with a king bedroom and two other queen bedrooms. A new groom's bunkhouse, sleeping another 4 guests is available. Other log cabin amenities are wood and slate floors, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, luxurious lighting, wine cooler, granite counters, and tasteful Colorado style decor, including wall mounted Elk antlers. Two full bathrooms round out the log cabin.

Our wood stove will keep you toasty on those chilly Colorado nights. A large 60" HD satellite-fed television with Blu-Ray DVD player, surround-sound system and WIFI are available. An audio cable is available for your music through the outside speakers over the hot tub and deck. Another Blu-Ray player is in the King bedroom for that TV (bring movies). We do have cards, books, and various board games to play during your stay. If there is not an outdoor fire and smoking ban, you may use the outdoor oversized firepit for cooking and ambience.

As explained above, our Accessory Bunkhouse -Sleeping Quarters may be added after the fact to a existing reservation at $100 additional per night (plus Vrbo fees). The Bunkhouse will sleep an additional 4 guests in two queen beds. The restrooms in the cabin will need to be shared but we have a water dispenser for coffee, etc. It also has a fold-down dining table, TV with Blu-Ray player, a loft and a wood-stove styled heater. It is ideal for a glamping experience, over-flow sleeping, Artist Studio, etc. We do not allow children under 16 to sleep unattended in the Bunkhouse.

For more guests, we also offer our RV or Camper pad with 30 Amp service at $50 per night. There is a drop station available included in this reservation.

Our 5-person hot tub with a waterfall jet and colored lighting sits on the deck where the mountains can be enjoyed or viewing the stars if you take a soak after dark.

Please be accurate with your number of guests as we purchase our water supply or manually deliver it for each guest group. Please keep this in mind by taking short showers, not leaving the water running, using a single towel during your stay, etc. The washing machine is not available to guests. Exceptions will be for longer stays with a water charge.

The home looks up at the SW side of Pikes Peak summit. The summit is roughly 7 miles away and about 4,000 feet higher. The new Summit House Roof on the far right of the top and roadway switchbacks can be seen as well as the Incline Train railway track.

The Cabin sits on a ridge at over 10,000 feet elevation and the views are remarkable. We require Snowy Season use of a 4x4 or AWD with good tire treads (or snow tires). I would suggest being there to check-in at 4 PM during daylight rather than late or middle of the night in case you get lost. We do not pay for towing, etc. If you get stuck please try to move off to the side for other vehicles (neighbors) and you will need to hike up to the cabin. I wouldn't attempt arrival in a blinding snow storm so check the weather if it is questionable. From most of May on through October, 2wd vehicles and motorcycles are fine to climb the ridge.

Our check-out time is 10 a.m. because of the amount of work needing to be done. Our housekeeper is punctual (set an alarm, please). Again, check in time is 4 p.m. The home likely will not be ready until then, but I do recommend arriving close to this time than late at night to avoid being lost (GPS units do not work to the Cabin) or due to weather. Please let us know in advance should you need an early check-in.

It is an easy 10 minute drive to Cripple Creek, 35 minutes to Woodland Park's restaurants, etc., and a beautiful 50 minute drive to Manitou Springs and western Colorado Springs.

We are not Weed (MMJ) friendly, thus, no weed is allowed, neither inside or outside. There is an ashtray for outdoor cigarettes but be aware when a fire ban is in effect outdoor smoking is also banned. Smoking in your car might be your best idea or in a bar in-town. Damages, the smell of smoke, missing or lost items such as pillows (ours are marked), etc., will be charged.

Let me know questions you may have. God bless!

Thanksgiving Vacation
First and foremost this property is exactly as described. 4x4 is a must for the steep climb to the house. I know I see people complaining about not being able to make it up to the house. This is why you should read the property details!!! The house was perfect we cooked Thanksgiving dinner here and had everything we needed, of course I brought my own turkey cooker. Beautiful views from all angles. We will definitely be staying here again.

What we loved about this property was the view!! It overlooks Pikes Peak & the property is a perfect mountain cabin. It had everything we needed to cook our meals and enjoy each others company. The closest town is 15 minutes away and had essentials and a few good places to eat. I would come back again just to sit in the hot tub or by the fire and look at the beauty of Colorado. 💙

Was the worst trip and experience
The property owner does not maintain the property 4 feet snow . Was told to get out and walk at 3 am as( no animals) this was rediculouse as per neighbors there are many animals . I was expected to get out and walk with a 4 year old. When we did get too property again at 3 am we lost electricity more than 5 times.after a long night we all had to get up and try and shovel pathways to get out door and porch and drive . Due to these extreme conditions we worked tirelessly to get off property. We was able to finally get out on Sunday with lots of hard work on our end. The property owner does not maintain this property at all and we was advised would get partial refund but was lied too. I would not recommend

Overall a great place!
The location was gorgeous, and the cabin was in a beautiful place, the grounds were kept, the amenities were excellent, and overall a great stay! The only negative was the driveway. The owner did make a point to say that during the snowy season you either needed a 4WD, or, an AWD with decent treads, and we brought 3 vehicles (2 4WD trucks customized for offroading, and an AWD Accura with new tires) and on the night of arrival around 9pm, there had been snowfall the day before and the first truck got stuck climbing the mile-long winding uphill driveway because the drive itself is a single-lane dirt path; however, on each side of the single lane drive are what I'd call trenches from water runoff, etc., and in the snow you can't see those and so the first truck was stuck for ~2 hours because the left tires were down in a trench. Later in the week 8-12" fell overnight and late the following afternoon we attempted to get down & back up the driveway with the other truck and while it didn't get pulled into any trenches, the driveway was so steep and the snow was so difficult to get any kind of traction in, that truck got stuck in the middle and slid back down to the bottom; that was another 2.5 hours of solid digging. Now, we totally understand that this is Colorado, it's mountainous and the grades are steep, that's a given, but beware of this driveway if you travel here during snowy conditions. I'd recommend you bring shovels, traction mats (or sand, birdseed, etc.), a tow rope, and if you have a winch, even better! In total we spent nearly 5 hours of our vacation just shoveling portions of their driveway leading to the top/cabin, and that sucked in such high altitude. I don't know what options there are in that neck of the woods but hiring someone with a tractor to blade a path would have been fantastic! That said, the rest of the visit and stay at this cabin was excellent and we would come back and stay again. We really enjoyed the fireplace and the firewood they had prepared for us; they had chopped wood of various sizes in the cabin, stacked, and ready for us. As well, they provided some pinecones and various kindling pieces to get it going and that worked well. We replaced their firestarter/lighter as it was nearly empty when we arrived but we grabbed one at the store and left it for the next visitors. The area is beautiful and serene. We took many beautiful photos of the mountains from the deck. Excluding the driveway, 5 stars!

Great Place and Location - Take arrival pictures
Family and friends had a great time. The place is as advertised and well kept. One item to be aware of - take pictures when you walk in to document previous damage (including under tissue holders) and take inventory of items under the bathroom sink to prevent after stay charges. The owner was very responsive during our stay but that ended after the additional charges hit our credit card.

Awesome!
Absolutely loved this place! We loved the gorgeous view, pictures don’t do it justice! Loved being close to town but back at the house we felt totally away from anyone else. Our two small dogs couldn’t have been happier with our choice, and our two sons and new wives came for a weekend and thought this is one of the best choices we’ve made. The only negative was the road up to the house was a bit bumpy, but we managed pretty well several times over the 10 days we were here. We would definitely come back!

Perfect place for large gatherings
I stayed here in July with 6 of my friends. Prior to the trip, Matt was very helpful in answering all of my questions. Getting to the house was simple with the written instructions and the home was clean and well stocked when we arrived. The view was stunning and the rooms were comfortable. The location was great for heading off to various points of interest. The home was well thought out and accommodating with its fire pit, out door seating, hot tub, outdoor speakers and lights and grill. It was the perfect place to stay for our large group.

Pretty view but needs updating
The view from the cabin was pretty, but bathrooms and plumbing could use some updating! Kitchen could also use some better cookware and utensils. The location is a little far out if you are wanting to do activities. Our stay was cut short a day due to a water leak in the basement. We asked for a refund for that day and instead of agreeing, he blamed us for not telling him sooner. It had leaked over night when we were sleeping and we woke up to wet carpet and no water! I would not recommend this place especially for the price.

Top 12 notable things about our stay...
We had a great time. Cabin is exactly as described online. Top 12 things to note. #1 the road up there is steep and a little muddy in April #2 the cabin would be very hard to find in the dark, so definitely get there before sunset #3 the cabin has a nice sized fenced in yard outside the front door for your dogs and/or kids #4 streaming music was hit and miss, most of the time it wasn't playing well #5 indoor and outdoor sound system is phenomenal if you have a saved playlist #6 the king bedroom and one queen bedroom are downstairs in the walkout lower level #7 the other queen bedroom is on the main upper level near kitchen and has it's own side deck that connects to the large main deck on the front. #8 there are plenty of beach towels for hot tub stored in the bedroom closets #9 the cabin is fairly high-tech and has remotes for lighting and large TV equipped with DIRECTV surround sound #10 even though the owners tell you there is a water shortage, there was plenty of water for everything we needed #11 we were there when it was cold outside, but were toasty warm using main heating system combined with wood burning stove #12 kitchen and bar area had great flow for cooking and hanging out. The weekend was a success! We highly recommend this comfortable Colorado mountain cabin near Cripple Creek! The views up there are inspiring. This place is the ultimate setting for couples, families and friends to enjoy the beauty of this region.

Blessed Cabin Perfection!
Our family stayed at the Blessed cabin over the Thanksgiving break, and we couldn't have been more comfortable or enjoyed it more. The cabin is beautiful, the views are absolutely unbeatable without any obstructions to obscure the incredible view of the mountain ranges by day or lights to pollute the sky at night. The house itself is gorgeous, we enjoyed the classic cabin motiff and the comfortable furniture and beds. The kitchen was lovely and a joy to cook together within. We enjoyed the hot tub very much, used it every day. The kids also had a great time sledding on the property and down the driveway, what a treat! The driveway is no joke, it's steep and long (affording the sledding). My parent's couldn't make it up without 4WD, but we managed by shuttling them up in my vehicle. We'd just had a good snow, but plan to have a 4WD vehicle for sure on this long, steep driveway if any weather is expected as it's way too long to plan to park at the base. We didn't mind as it made us feel even more isolated, something we were going for with this getaway. We can't wait to stay again! We're already voting for which seasons will be the most beautiful and fun. Thanks for sharing your lovely home!

This was the most magical trip yet! The house is amazing and the sky view and star gazing is something I have never experienced, now add in the hot tub and it really is paradise. The house is so close to beauty and solitude and well as great places like Pikes Peak which I would Beg everyone to experience. We also loved the Royal Gorge Bridge and couldn’t resist that opportunity to zip line 1000 feet over a gorge.

About the host

Hosted by Matt Turner

Host profile image
An Atlanta native, I moved to Colorado in 2012. I have been a real estate appraiser since 1987... with a tinkering in the remodeling, property management, the wedding business, and ministry.

Why they chose this property

The VIEW! The view, coupled with the beautiful log cabin, pavilion, treed property, we offer weddings under our Agreement. We are affordable in contrast to other venues which makes it a sought after wedding venue destination.

Hiking: I would suggest using www.cospringstrails.com for trails, etc. Plan for fast weather changes (listen to forecasts as it can snow on what had been a warm day earlier). On this side of the mountain, there are The Crags trail (off Hwy 67) Raspberry Mountain, Horse Thief Falls - Pancake Rocks (at the tunnel parking area on Hwy 67), Dome Rock trails but for an easy stroll try the series of trails in Florissant Fossil Bed Park on Teller County Road 1 (north of Cripple Creek -a fee is required as it is a National Park. It has a cool visitor's center). Neighborhood walking is permitted but please stay on the roads during hunting season and to keep from getting lost.

Elk Stalking: For these enthusiasts, late evening and before dusk, try this spot: Drive to Divide and go right about 3.5 miles near Mile Marker 381. If the elk herd shows, they will be coming out of the woods to your right (south) or to the southwest. Traffic there moves fast so be very careful in that area.

Jeep & UTV Rentals: Great Outdoor Adventures (719-686-6816, Goadventures.org) is new in Woodland Park or ATV/UTV tours (group rides) are available from Rockhound Rentals, 8825 US Hwy 24, Cascade, CO 80809. 719-684-2408. Jeep Guides: I would suggest checking with my buddy to arrange guided open-air or canopy Jeep tours and trips such as Rafting, Segway tours, Zip-lining, Hiking, etc. Please request him - he's called "Ridgerunner" as a Guide name. You may also book online with him at www.advoutwest.com or call them at 719-578-0935. His personal cell is 626-774-4051. Rafting: Echo Canyon in Canon City. Ask about the Bighorn Sheep stretch for rafting. It's more bubbly rather than hard-core. Ziplines are also nearby at Royal Gorge & Manitou

What makes this property unique

The Cabin is the last home on the road. The nearby neighbors have campers & RV's as a weekenders or for their summer break.

This property began as my personal home. With encouragement from friends, the home was listed for nightly rental and later as Really Blessed Wedding Venue.

Internet is Starlink which has national average speeds of 130 mbs down, 15 mbs up and 10 ms latency. Zoom calls or conferences are generally fine as well as streaming movies and gaming.

Fun things:
Cripple Creek has a short train ride of an actual steam engine on narrow-guage tracks. https://cripplecreekrailroad.com/ Also, there's a normal train ride into the huge Royal Gorge (Canon City) which has open-air cars to look up the 1,200 feet to the Park, bridge, swings and zip line. Ridgerunner (see below) might be able to help with it, too.  Leadville, Colorado also has a train now as well which is very entertaining. www.LeadvilleRailroad.com

Seasonal Horseback riding is also available nearby. The famous one is M Lazy C Ranch, 719-748-3398 just west of Lake George. You might Google 'Things to Do in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado' for a more expansive list like driving up Pikes Peak (their webcam is https://parks.coloradosprings.gov/pikespeak) was $20 per vehicle (have good brakes!!), the Air Force Academy, the Olympic Training Center, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the Broadmoor Hotel grounds and restaurants, etc. Some brochures were in the Cabin.
