If you’re looking for a cabin of convenience this is not it. However, if you’re looking for a quiet peaceful breath of fresh air, then you’ve found your place. Check-in was a little bumpy as the cleaning company had dates wrong. The owner was quick to respond and resolve the problem. There is no TV and no microwave which most definitely was not a problem for us, just letting others know. From town to the cabin takes roughly 25 mins. The trek up (as stated in the cabin details) you will need a high clearance vehicle. We have a bronco and had no issues. We greatly enjoyed fishing, watching the chipmunks and hummingbirds. The beds were comfortable and the cabin was clean. It’s definitely a place we would return to in the future and recommend to our friends.

Family Vacation
We had a great time at this property. The grandkids had fun fishing, playing on the trampoline and playground. And we spent a lot of time on nature walks and making s’mores at the campfire. The cabin is very remote which allows for some amazing star gazing. This is a great place for family gatherings.

This cabin is a lovely retreat. VERY remote. Takes a while to get down the mountain for groceries, just so ya know. Come prepared, especially if you arrive late in the day. Once you leave the highway and start climbing the dirt road to the gate, expect mildly rough going. Past the gate, wow, each trip to town and up again in the evenings were ... jouncy. In a new Bronco. So expect an adventurous ride to the cabin. Would've been better if we had intended to just stay and rest at the cabin than have big plans in Durango each day. And what a gorgeous place to relax. Calm water in the clear pond, Quiet. Stars! So worth spending a while on the deck after dark and stargazing.My only complaint was the lack of lighting in the master closet. The stick-on push-button lighting in the closet just wasn't enough to see by, so we kept our suitcases on the bedroom floor instead. The living spaces were spacious and comfy for four. Definitely could stay here with a larger crowd and not feel pressed for space.Received detailed check-in plans from the host. We did have questions about check-out instructions, but didn't receive communication on that end. But all in all, a fabulous stay.

Quiet and private getaway
The kids were a little wary at first, but they never said one word about no tv after we got settled in.
This is the most relaxing places we have stayed in the 20 years we have visited the area. Very quiet, very remote, and very private. We had a blast! Best bring your 4x4 if you’ve got it!

Mountain Hunt Camp
Everything was perfect! Myself and 3 others stayed a week during Colorado’s 2nd season. The weather was warmer than is typical but the cabin was very comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed. The cabin is spacious and the fireplace welcomed great opportunity to reflect and discuss the events of the day. We all enjoyed our time on the mountain.

Remote, relaxing, and rejuvenating
We were able to enjoy much needed down-time with the whole family. We rested, fished, hiked and played indoor and outdoor games together. The morning coffee on the deck overlooking the pond watching the hummingbirds and chipmunks was wonderful. Loved how isolated we were from the noise and activity of the city. It was so peaceful except for the squeal of laughter from our games and canoeing adventures.
The cabin accommodations were perfect for our wide age-ranged family, everyone felt at home. We would highly recommend for a peaceful, fun, and relaxing vacation.

Mountain Getaway
While staying at this cabin you quite literally have an entire mountain to yourself. The first drive up to the cabin is a little nerve racking. A little bumpy but not a bad drive at all. We had very minor hiccups and Carlos was very quick to call / text us to fix the problem. If I could give 10 stars for the costumer service I would. The cabin was super clean and was stocked with everything we needed. My 4 kids had the best time fishing and playing on the play set. If you want to have a true Colorado cabin vacation this is the cabin to book! We will definitely be staying here in the future!

Disappointment
Overall we had a good time. Was not ready when we got there. Dirty. I had mopped the floors myself. No shampoo or soap in bathrooms. Had to throw away old soaps in bathrooms. We wiped down kitchen counters. When we arrived two gentlemen where there. One was rude when I had ask were the beds changed. So much more. I could go on but there is not enough room. I took pictures, so if anyone wants them just ask. This maybe a one time and one time only thing. My luck I guess. The pond was full of stinky moss so you could not fish. Like I said I have pics if anyone wants them. I am not one to complain but this was a disappointment. Hopefully this will not happen to anyone else. but I feel for what we paid it was terrible. I just wish I could have spoken to Carlos. Never had the opportunity to do so. The area around the property was not mowed. Some of the sheets were new and still in the package and they put it on the bed anyway. Like I said it was not what I expected. When we pulled up the guys there were peeking out of the windows. I felt very uncomfortable. The lady who does the cleaning did not show up so these guys were a last minute effort. My family and friends made the best of an awful experience. What else were we supposed to do? I could go on but I think you got the picture.

Beautiful Cabin
This cabin was perfect for my family. We were looking for seclusion and being able to unplug. Mission accomplished. The kids caught butterflies around the cabin in the mornings and enjoyed playing ping pong, football and board games. We enjoyed being on the deck most of the day. We are already planning our next trip!

Stunning mountain cabin
We visited Greg and Jan’s property with our 2 year old daughter and two dogs. It was an absolute dream. Secluded but also close to a small general store and restaurants. Ample hiking. The property itself was amazing. They thought of everything you could of forgotten and it was so clean. Truly stunning. We loved the thoughtfulness of the games and yard toys they left. It’s hard to find a rental property that includes little traveling guests and they nailed it.

Beautiful getaway
Our family loved staying in this remote cabin in the woods. The pond and canoe were so much fun. The kids also loved the ping pong table as well as the games and puzzles that were thoughtfully available. The property was close to the Vallecito Reservoir and atv rentals. Everything was very comfortable and the kitchen seemed to have all the basics.
We only had a couple of issues. The master bath showerhead wasn't adjustable and seemed to lack volume. That might be an intentional efficiency head but it was frustrating. The toilets were also small and low for my 6 ft husband.
Other than that the place was fantastic. It was clean and charming and we just didn't want to leave!

Refresh your life in a mountain cabin!
My family basked in the quiet serenity of the surrounding forest and star-gazed at the heavens we cannot see in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The wood fire in the fireplace brought us together every evening for cherished moments of reconnecting...old memories and now new memories. Thank you to the Phillips family for sharing this cabin in the woods with us - we hope to return soon!

Secluded Cabin Get-Away
My wife and I enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. The property surrounding the cabin is stunning with the pond just off the deck and for us all of the fall colors. Greg was great with communication and even called to warn me about possible snow during our stay. He made sure we had all of the information needed and even checked on us after the stay. My wife and I are already talking about booking this place again next year.

We brought a powerful spotting scope with us. On a clear night we zoomed in on stars and planets. It was amazing. This is an isolated property. Quiet, serene, inspiring.
The house is roomy and comfortable. We had a blast in surrounding area 4-wheeling. If you would like to get away this is a joy.
