• Stayed one night only

  2/5

  Place looked like it would be a simple, low-key lodging choice for a bachelor hiking retreat to the mountains. The photos of the interior gave the impression that it was well-kept and economical albeit with small bedrooms. However, when I arrived at the cabin, it wasn’t as new as the pictures taken in the Evolve listing. The rooms were really cramped too as all the ceilings are of bizarrely low height outside the main common area.

  The main drawback was there was noting to do out there and you had to drive about 10 miles back to town either northwest or southeast of the valley to get supplies. I ended up staying only one night of the three I had reserved before returning to the Victorian vacation home I was staying at in Manitou Springs. The yard there is not big either, and the neighbor behind the cabin had a large dog that was always outside barking at people.

  Manager's Response:

  Shared from the owner:
  
  "We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your experience in our cabins did not meet your expectations, John. Our aim is to provide a comfortable and enjoyable stay for all our guests.
  
  -Please know that our managers are readily available to assist guests during their stay, and we encourage guests to reach out to them with any concerns or issues that arise. Unfortunately, we are unable to address any concerns after guests have checked out, so timely communication is key to resolving any issues.
  -It's important to note that our cabins, built in 1910, may have some unique characteristics, such as low clearances, which we aim to highlight in our descriptions and photos. Many guests find the cabins charming and quirky. Even taller adults navigate them with no problems. The photos are from November 2023 and represent the cabins exactly as they are seen today. We have invested significant time and effort into updating the interiors to ensure they are comfortable, clean, and inviting for our guests.
  -We regret you had difficulty finding nearby attractions and amenities. You will find a Walmart only a 5-minute drive from the cabins. While we cannot control personal preferences or individual experiences, we strive to provide guests with information about local activities and amenities to enhance their stay.
  
  We are very confident that our future guests will enjoy the cabins and the magnificent area just as many hundreds of guests have in the past nine years.

  Our family had a great stay in this adorable cabin. The atmosphere was perfect and it was conveniently located. The surrounding scenery was breathtaking. The cabin was stocked with necessary amenities and had a rustic feel. We would highly recommend this property to anyone. Also, it was very easy to communicate with the property manager. She was very helpful and the check in and out process was very simple.

• Lovely place

  5/5

  We visited this property to have a very private elopement and it was a wonderful choice. The views were beautiful and in walking distance from more beauty. My only slight complaint is that the neighbors very friendly dog ran loose every night which was sometimes distracting during my dog’s nightly walks. The cabin itself was great and stayed warm during the coldest days! Thanks for the lovely stay!

  4/5

  Overall great stay. The only issues we had were staying warm, due to how the property is heated, and the neighbors across from the cabin always blocked the street with their car. So it was hard to get out of the driveway. Owners of the property are amazing, and communicate well.
