Fun Weekend Getaway

Lori and Dan were wonderful hosts, the property was very beautiful and in a good location. The cabin has a cave/cabin like feel and was very well decorated and welcoming. All the small details like a pet bed and bone and chocolates made the stay so much better. We had a blast and there were plenty of activities very close!

Crites Cabin Review

Lori/Dan actually came out to the cabin and met us a couple of hours early. They were very nice people and gave us an overview of the property. The cabin was perfect size for us as there were only 4 of us and had plenty of room . The area is beautiful and we enjoyed our morning walks in the nearby national forest . The cabin had everything to offer that we needed with the possible exception of a garbage disposal . The only other complaint was the ditch between the driveway and the street had quite a bit of erosion and made entry and exit a little difficult as our vehicle scraped bottom . I would definitely recommend this cabin to friends/family .

Perfect getaway!

This place is so adorable and comfortable. Lori was great at communicating throughout the trip. Loved the treats for us and our dog such a sweet gesture. The pond/lake was a short walk and we enjoyed seeing the geese hummingbirds etc. the cabin is exactly as pictured I think better in person. We enjoyed the hot tub at night perfect view of the stars. Definitely coming back with my kids.

Our hosts were fantastic. Great communication and responsiveness. And they even left us treats which was such a welcome surprise. The cabin is so unique and fun. The hot tub was a perfect end to a long day ice fishing.

Wonderful Getaway!

The family and I just wanted to escape the busy life of the city for a 3 day weekend. This unique location definitely did wonders for our health. Our host were friendly, responsive and left care items and treats that my children loved when we checked in. We would absolutely stay at this location again. Thanks Lori and Dan!

Fall Vacation 22

The house was unique, clean, and well stocked with everything a family would need for a stay. We all enjoyed our time there. Lots of wild life right out the windows. We seen birds, squirrels, deer, and rabbits. House is one of a kind would definitely come back if ever back in area.

Our stay

Cabin was easy to get to and had a ton of character. House meet all expectations. We walked into the place only to find it decorated for the 4th, a birthday cake in the fridge, and a bottle of wine for our parents anniversary. It was super sweet. There were also baskets full of goodies in each bed including a basket of entertainment for our child. Our only downfall was even with 5 fans and the windows open upstairs it was a little warm at night but we made it work. Drive to just about anywhere around the cabin was super easy. Our family loved this house and will definitely return!

A wonderful mountain getaway

This residence was immaculate and was exactly as described. An extremely custom home away from the hustle and bustle of Denver. Extremely private and comfortable. Lori (our host) outdid herself to make sure that we were happy and comfortable at her home. We will definitely be back!! Thanks Lori!! -Brian

Unique and Relaxing

The "mine" atmosphere was really cool. Everywhere you looked you'd notice a detail you hadn't seen before. We believe we met "Peanut" the friendly deer who you came really close to each of us. The loungers were excellent and we were super lazy all day and watched Netflix. As advertised. Would recommend to anyone.

Luxury Cabin with Unique Details

Simply an amazing place to stay from the timely communication with the owner down to the attention to detail like the wall decor and fresh flowers. Lori customized welcome gifts for our three boys 16, 15, and 11! We loved the cave living room and enjoyed evenings on the deck! We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Probably our best stay on our road trip!

Amazing Cabin & Even More Amazing Hosts!

We stayed at Lori and Dan's beautiful cabin for a week, and to say we had a wonderful stay is an understatement! We regularly stay in vacation rentals, but I can say Lori and Dan are hands down the most amazing hosts we've met. They were available the entire time and made sure all our needs were taken care of at a short notice. The cabin itself is very uniquely designed, tastefully decorated, and very comfortable with quick access to highway 24. There are shops nearby for essentials, and highland park is located around 25 mins away, with access to lots of restaurants, gas stations, a walmart, safeway, and starbucks. Also, there are nice attractions close to the cabin. I highly recommend Lori and Dan's cabin!
