Wonderful Stay!
This is our second visit to this cabin and we are already planning our next. Cabin is a bit rustic but meets all of our needs. Very close to sugar bowl, great neighborhood and a comfortable bed to sleep in. What more could you ask for? Owner is always great to work with and very responsive. Can’t wait for our next stay!

Great family getaway in the forest
We (family of 4, 2 children) stayed in this beautiful house for a last minute ski vacation. The house had everything our family of 4 needed. Plenty of space in the house, kitchen was well appointed, bedrooms were as described. We had no issues with the fireplace, the house warmed up in no time. Very close to Sugarbowl and the nordic ski resort (we did both). Would come again in the summer to go hiking.

Wonderful Location
We just came back from 5 nights at this cabin. It’s not fancy, but the location is perfect and the accommodations are comfortable. The woods are in your backyard, we had a blast sledding steps from the cabin. Plus an easy drive to ski resorts. It’s on a court so we felt very safe letting the kids play outside. Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay and plan to visit again!

As returning guests, we enjoy the location and the cozy, well-equipped cabin very much. It’s fabulous to be able to start a hike right out the door with our dog and also to take a short walk to the beautiful lakes.

Beautiful, Serene Spot
The house backs up to Royal Gorge on a cul de sac so it's very quiet. We made lasagna in the oven and fires in the wood stove. Everything worked nicely.

Cozy, Comfortable and Quiet Serene Lakes Cabin
We stayed for an extended time at Julie's lovely cabin and really, really enjoyed ourselves. It was a perfect set up for a mix of adults and tweens. The wood fireplace kept us warm and cozy, and the beds were extremely comfortable. I think our favorite part of the cabin was the built in benches and big table - perfect for games, puzzles, family meals, and hanging out. And the access to Royal Gorge trails (you need a trail pass) literally right behind the cabin was fantastic too. Highly recommend - we hope to return!

We have rented this house three times and always enjoy it. If you are a gourmet cook and rely on certain kitchen implements, bring what you require. But other than that, kitchen is well-provisioned and house was very comfortable for family of 5.

Amazing location
Stayed here for a weekend with friends. The location was perfect for XC skiing and snowshoeing, which was our reason to be there. Couldn’t ask for better. The space is larger than expected and the kitchen was fully stocked. Located on a quiet cul de sac. Super bonus that it’s a dog friendly house and that we were able to bring. Would definitely stay here again! Ps. if you plan to ski with your dog at royal gorge check their dog policy. They changed it for 2022-2023 which was super disappointing.

Aside from difficulties with check in instructions we had a great time. Location is further from groceries and the actual lakes than one might think, but excellent for dog walks and hiking. Cabin is lovely, simple and comfortable.

This is our second stay at Julie’s home and we will be back. Serene Lakes is a gorgeous area close to hiking trails in summer and snow resorts in winter. Julie is responsive and clearly has pride in her home. We love staying here and can’t wait to come back. Thanks, Julie!

We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin had everything we needed for a great spring ski trip. Super easy access to Sugar Bowl. Everything was organized, clean and comfortable. I would love to go back in the summer or fall and take advantage of the activities that are right out the back door.

Excellent snow trip
We had fabulous, snowy weather that we enjoyed by those giant windows and the wood stove. Kids played in the snow for hours, and if we had another day, we would have been on the cross country ski trail behind the house. Great spot, kitchen had everything we needed.

Wonderful Christmas
This cabin was exactly what I hoped for. Cozy, warm, beautiful view of the snow-covered pines off of the deck. There was internet, Netflix and Hulu. The furniture was comfortable (couch does need some repair) and the kitchen had everything we needed. We were able to bring our dogs (who loved the snow). Location was perfect. My only criticism is that the listing said it slept 8, but we were unable to use one bedroom because the bunk beds were too small for adults. The owner responded quickly to my emails and was very gracious. I have booked it for next year. Can’t wait. I highly recommend this cabin for small groups.
