Beautiful mountain getaway on the lake.

The area is fantastic and property is very nice with plenty of space. Jim and his team are very attentive. Plenty of public land to explore in the area from hiking to utv trails and great fishing.

Colorado Living!

Jim was amazing to deal with! We had a great time hanging on the decks and shooting a lot of pool! Cabin is very close to ATV trails, which is very convenient.

The home is perfectly placed in the mountains with the most STUNNING views you could ever imagine! Every detail of the cabin was immaculate, and having two full kitchens made it perfect for our group!Mr. James went above and beyond for us and truly was the best host we’ve ever experienced!!! So kind, attentive, and super thoughtful!! It made our stay that much more special!This cabin is truly a gem, and we will 100% be coming back! 10 out of 10-highly recommend!!!
