Had a wonderful time staying. We went for our 5 year wedding and was the perfect place to enjoy each other. Spent the day at Garden of the Gods and realized we live 2 hours from one of the most beautiful places on earth. Thank you for allowing us to stay. The cabin was very cozy and felt right at home.

Lovely weekend away in the cutest cabin ever! We will be back yearly. The resort was small, quiet and very well kept. Everything you need was there. Highly recommend.

Our family of three plus small dog came here for a last minute spring break trip. Response time to our request and ongoing communications about check in were fast, friendly and accurate. Cabin was cozy and clean with plentiful amenities. Owners provided wood for outdoor fires, and had games/puzzles in the cabin and on the property. Proximity to Garden of the Gods was a huge plus. We had a teenager with us so the fast internet was great. And they are very dog friendly! Thank you for an excellent mini vacation!

We enjoyed our stay however we feel it’s a little pricy for the accommodations. Futon couch needs updating and a dresser should be included for those that choose not to live out of their suitcases. We also we’re not able to enjoy sitting outdoors as the patio decks and front porch are bug infested and in need power washing. The camp chairs we’re old and also bug infested and should be cleaned or replaced. Outside that it’s located right in the middle of Shawnee Forest and easy accessible to all attractions.

Very enjoyable stay ... perfect size for my husband and I ... everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the cute front porch enjoying nature from our seat on the glider. LOVED the swing hanging from the oak tree branch (took me back to my childhood). The neighborhood cat came over for a visit. My husband saw a hummingbird every morning. Roasted hotdogs and made s'mores at the firepit. Cabin was clean. Only down side was the 2 queen beds were up in the loft ... the ladder/stairs were decent, but a little dicey to navigate when needing to use the restroom in the middle of the night. Luckily, the couch on the main level turned into a queen size bed ... and was fairly comfortable. Would definitely return here for another long weekend visit.

Description could have been a little cleared on accessing the loft area. Not ideal for older people and/or pets. Over all, a nice, quiet place.

It was clean, quaint and quiet. Family centered. Lots to do and explore in the area. Be prepared to drive. But the driving is beautiful in itself. Exactly as advertised. Would stay again!

The cabin was cute and quaint. Exactly what my husband and I was hoping for our anniversary weekend. We had the perfect balance of adventure/hiking in the area and relaxing at the cabin. Elizabeth was incredible to work with and always quick to respond to my messages.

This cabin was perfect - it's in wonderful condition, the property is quiet and in a lovely location, there was plenty of space for our family of 3 and medium sized dog, the fact that it's dog-friendly, the water pressure and temperature in the bathroom was ideal, the beds were comfortable, and check-in/check-out was simple. I'd definitely book this property again next time we're in the area.

It was a step back in time. So cool to imagine the history that took place in this small space. Grateful for the modern amenities though.

We had a great time! Weather wasn’t the best but we were able to do some hiking and see Stone Face. Also, visited Hog Hollow winery.

Our family enjoyed our stay at this rustic log cabin. Its location gave great access to hiking in Shawnee. At booking and check in, the property was advertised to have a fire place in the amenities on VRBO. Unfortunately, the fire place is bolted shut and not accessible to guests. We were very disappointed with this. We book spots based on fireplaces! Bring layers if visiting in cold weather as the main floor is quite chilly. Otherwise, a nice spot in a pretty location.

Great location and cabin. Only downfall was it listed a fireplace but fireplace was not working making the cabin chilly at night.

We loved the cabin. It was clean and very nice. My family stayed here (2 adults, kids-ages 11, 10, and 5). The kids loved the loft with the beds. It was a close drive to garden of the gods, rim rock and other fun hikes and activities. It was a nice getaway!
