First off, the description of the road is a major understatement. If you do not have a raised 4x4, you have no chance of making it to the cabin. Even with our Jeep Wrangler we had trouble sometimes.
To be knit picky: the cabin is a little old and musty, and there are stains everywhere. There are only 3 windows with a screen on them, which is sufficient for circulation, but it’d be nice to air it all out without fear of letting in some of the wildlife. We did see and catch a mouse, which wasn’t a big deal cause we were up in the mountains and expected to see life up there. The pullout mattress is folded in the kitchen and is full of mouse droppings. My wife and I were going to pull it out and use it because the main bed was so uncomfortable but decided to put it back after seeing that. We also wish there was a place to store our clothes; the drawers in the bedroom were being used for things already.
But the location of the cabin really outweighs the bad. Conifer is 15 minutes away with grocery stores, food, state parks, and horseback riding. Getting off the mountain towards Denver only takes 30-45 minutes and going the other way you can get to mount princeton in less than 2 hours with hot springs and lots of cool stops on the way. Bailey is also 15 minutes away with a Sasquatch outpost and other little stores. It’s a great stop for a getaway. One of our days got rained out so we stayed in the cabin all day and watched movies on the tv. So it is really great for whatever you want. You won’t be bugged by other people but the host does live about 50 feet away. They keep to themselves and you can’t hear them. I only saw them once.
Communication with the host was very nice, she was very responsive and friendly. We did get a message around 6 on our checkout day of when we’d be checking out and our wifi “randomly” shut off a little after that.
