Beautiful, nicely located, and well-equipped cabin!

Beautiful, nicely located, and well-equipped cabin! Very clean and easy to access. Our only issue was with the European hornets when using the hot tub at night. They were not aggressive, but really liked the light.

Checkin was no hassle and the cabin was close to all of the trails we wanted to hike. Nearest grocery store is about 30 minutes away so it is recommended to bring essentials with you.

Great hot tub and location

We loved the fact that we could sit in the hot tub and watch the rain come down. And the cabins couldn’t be much closer to Garden of the Gods!

Turn and Burn

Wife and I decided last minute to take a quick trip to see the Garden of the Gods and to just simply get away. We found this beautiful place and have been talking about it since we left. Clean (most important) and simple. Enjoyed the fire pit and the hot tub, but most importantly the privacy. I’d recommend it to anyone, hands down A+.
