Adorable place in peaceful location

We really enjoyed this cute and vintage feel cabin. The bed was comfortable and the location provided the right amount of solitude while still being not far from town. Hosts were easy to communicate with.

Cute and comfortable in a very quiet area

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cabin is well appointed and very comfortable. Very convenient to I-70 but in a very quiet area up the mountain. Thanks for a great visit.

Perfect stay for our family of 3!

The property was exactly as advertised, and incredibly charming. We used it as a spring board for a few ski days at Loveland, and it was a lovely little place to come home to after a long day on the slopes. We look forward to another stay in the future.

Great little cottage!

Loved this place! The location was quiet and secluded but still within 15 of two little cute downtowns. Everything was clean and they had all the amenities we were looking for - a grill, kitchen stuff, a fire pit, etc. we were able to pick up local bison and cook there which was nice! We did have a little utility issue but the manager rushed over right away and addressed it. Overall, perfect stay and we would def come back!

The Chickadee is BEAUTIFUL

My friends and I stayed at the Chickadee for a little holiday get away to enjoy Colorado and ski. We loved the Chickadee. It is such a cute home and met all of our needs. The surrounding area is so beautiful. We could see the stars at night. We really enjoyed the outdoor hang out area and the decor. Everything was clean, up to date, and just wonderful accommodations. The host was very helpful and kind and quick to respond to any questions we had.

2nd stay at the Chickadee

We enjoyed our first stay so much that we decided to book again for a ski weekend at Loveland. We love how cozy the place is, and its proximity to Loveland ski area, and restaurants etc. in Georgetown and Idaho Springs. Its a perfect home base for relaxing afternoons/evenings after a good morning on the slops. We'll be back again, for sure.

Great cabin in the woods

My husband and I stayed here for a fly fishing trip. The cabin was exactly as described. It was incredibly clean and comfortable and had all the necessities. The location was great. It was close enough to restaurants, grocery, etc. but also in the middle of woods and close to hiking and fishing. We hope to be back and would definitely stay here again.

Truly is adorable!

We (3 ladies on a girl's trip) will be raving about this little gem for quite a while. We go quarterly to places across the region and this is now a favorite. Lovely, very clean, tastefully designed, cozy cottage in a beautiful wooded area. Plus, the communication from the kind host was clear and friendly.

Weekend trip to hit the slopes

Chickadee is the cutest, coziest rental I have ever had. We had significant snowfall and weren't able to use the porch but it looks comfortable. We had plenty of room to spread out our gear and every detail was taken care of for us. It is a 2.5 mile drive up the canyon from I-70 and we enjoyed all the nature and quiet. I hope to be back in the summer!

Adorable home off the beaten path. This home had everything we needed for our stay and was centrally located for the adventures we had planned. Our adult daughter came down from Longmont and stayed a couple nights with us. Great family time! Will stay here again! Beth and Mike
