About this property
True Log Cabin on a Secluded Ridgetop - 14er Views, End-of-Road Privacy
Whimsical Hollow is a darling full log cabin that is nestled among some of the highest mountain peaks in Colorado. The views are absolutely amazing and the home is surrounded by spruce and pine trees. It is a serene and very romantic location. The home has all new furniture and amenities of the highest quality.
The romantic living room has a wood burning fireplace for cozy nights around the fire (you may want to bring extra wood!). There is a dining room with a table that seats 4 and a fully equipped kitchen. There is additional seating at the kitchen bar also. You will find everything you need to make your family chef happy.
There is a bedroom with a king size bed on the main floor. It has beautiful mountain decor and furnishings. It is next to the full bath which has a walk-in shower. The decorations throughout the home are exquisite. Everything reflects the cozy romantic atmosphere of a luxury mountain cabin. Upstairs there is a second spacious bedroom which also has a king size bed. It too has new furniture, linens and amenities. You will love the views from the bed. You can look right out of the two story windows and see the beautiful white capped mountains. What a way to wake up!
The property is on a dead end road with very few properties. It is not a busy and crowded location. You will most likely not see anyone during your stay except an occasional visitor such as a moose or fox. There are also deer and bears in the area. If you watch closely you may even see some elk. The front porch runs the length of the front of the house and has comfortable seating where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee and take in the gorgeous mountain views. There is a gas grill provided behind the home.
The area is know for it's unlimited outdoor activities. Almost anything you can think of is within minutes of the home. You can hike and explore the National Forest right behind the home. There is a road just above the location of the home that you can hike to the end of and be right in the National Forest. Many of the famous 14'ers are located in this area where you can hike or climb. Horseback riding is just a few minutes from the home at the Platte River Ranch. They have hay rides, hour long rides, and even evening steak rides. If you like white-water rafting, the Arkansas River is only a few miles away. You can raft at Buena Vista. They have a variety of trips from safe photo floats to wild rapid trips. ATVing is also great in the area. There are multiple locations where you can ATV. One Trail over Mosquito Pass takes you right into Leadville where you can enjoy lunch or dinner at one of the many restaurants in the restored mining town. This is a fabulous place to shop for antiques too!
About the owners: As native Coloradans, we love the outdoors, the spectacular seasons, and the diversity of nature. Our adventurous spirits lead us to purchase our cozy log cabin in 2015. This is a place to get away and unplug from the noise of the city, recharge and be rejuvenated by the awesome surroundings. (It is only a 95 minute drive from southwest Denver on 285. We avoid the crazy I-70 traffic and congestion). Through our front window, we have the spectacular view of Mt. Sherman, which is a 14"er". Enjoying a cup of coffee from our welcoming and relaxing porch and watching the sunrise burst above Mt. Sherman is a wonderful way to greet the day.
This beautiful area and our cozy log cabin are just too special not to share. The fellowship of family and friends is what has inspired us to open our home and hearth. The memories that will be made here will last a lifetime. We hope all who stay here feel the welcome embrace of friendship and hospitality.
Why the owners Chose Fairplay: Mountains; Outdoor Activities Galore; Proximity to Breckenridge; Small Town Friendly Attitude The small towns of Fairplay and Alma hearken back to the simpler days of living. We enjoy talking to the friendly locals and playing pool at the South Park Saloon.

Cabin was comfortable and stocked with all the basics we needed. Directions to cabin, how to check in/out were very clear. Enjoyed the view of mountains from front porch. Close to downtown Fairplay with grocery store and restaurants yet far enough away to feel secluded.

Amazing Mountain Views
This cabin is just 15-minutes from downtown Fairplay but you feel fully immersed in the pines and the mountain views are spectacular. Lots of great hiking and walks nearby. Perfect place to rest and refresh.
This property was beautiful and quiet. Perfect for a romantic getaway.

Peaceful stay
Lovely little cabin with everything we needed for a 2 night stay. Early checkin was appreciated! Host was responsive and we couldn't have asked for more!
Enjoyed our stay very much. Nice and secluded which was exactly what we were looking for. The cabin was very well equipped and lacked for nothing. The host of this property was very attentive and stayed in touch when power went out for a short time which I appreciated very much. Overall, I would highly recommend this cabin.

Beautiful and great place to stay! Instructions and communication were on point! This place is Hallmark card material. My family and I enjoyed every moment. Thank you again for your hospitality
It was a quiet, peaceful stay. I appreciated the bird feeders since I love birdwatching. The daily walks in the area were wonderful. Information and directions were helpful. Could have been a little cleaner, but overall excellent place to stay.

Great experience
Cabin was perfect. We had a great experience with our trip. The view was fantastic and the weather was perfect. The cabin and the grounds were all in perfect shape, they were absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed every minute while we were there, hated to leave and we will do it again. Charlie and Jeanette
We had a great time staying in the cabin which was very clean, cozy and had everything needed for the comfortable stay. The surroundings and the property itself appear to be like from a fairy-tail book. Very private, beautiful cabin! We loved it so much that are planning to come back the next year.

We were absolutely amazed at the surroundings and quiet! The home had everything we needed or could want! Communications with the host Angela was great! We enjoyed the wonderful fireplace every day and sitting at the kitchen table enjoying our meals or coffee on the porch! We would absolutely recommend this home and hope to stay again in the future!
It was amazing to wake up every day and see those beautiful mountains. The fireplace was cozy and welcoming. I think I made friends w a couple of squirrels. Couldn’t have been happier!
This house was seriously amazing. It was perfect for our little family getaway! We are from Houston Tx so staying in the mountains was such a treat. The views at this perfect little cabin were incredible. You wake up everyday to such a beautiful scenery, who wouldn’t want that!!? The house is perfect, the location, everything was just great. It has everything you need for a comfortable stay! We will absolutely tell our friend/family to stay here if they plan to travel to Colorado! Thank you for having us! Your house made us want to move to Colorado haha!
We had a great stay at the Whimsical Hollow. The property manager went out of their way to make sure we were taken care of during a Mother’s Day snow storm. They contacted us and asked if we needed anything because they were coming by to drop off firewood and some extra sheets and towels. They had the driveway plowed as soon as it was possible. They also were understanding when we notified them of a minor problem at the property.
The wildlife near the cabin was awesome.
We will definitely be staying here again
The property is in a quiet location. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. The owner has done a terrific job of landscaping the property. We spent many hours just sitting on the front porch looking at the mountains. Ok, it was a little chilly, but nothing a fuzzy blanket couldn't fix! We laughed at the very friendly beggar squirrels, who came up very close to us. The property is about 15 minutes from Fairplay, with much of that being a dirt road (washboard). We were glad we drove the truck and not the motorcycle!
We stayed here over the Easter weekend with snow on and off most of the time. We really enjoyed the cabin and the location. We were lucky and got to see Moose several times. During the clear spells the views to the South were awesome but the snow was great as well and made for a great cabin experience. We went out walking a few times and solitude of Winter was so nice.The roads in some areas were washboard cut certainly passable to all kinds of vehicles. The roads were plowed by the county the morning after the snow and the driveway was plowed by a contractor.This cabin was a nice size for our small party. It was clean and had everything we needed. We would absolutely stay here again.If I was going to make any changes, I would consider Starlink over the Hughes net and new carpet in the living area.
Very clean and comfortable cabin. Positioned fairly close to two small towns with all the comforts you would need.
Close to a few good hiking trails. Beautiful drives in and out. Quiet area with fair privacy. Comfortable home with 2 king beds. Everything was as comfortable as you could hope for. Wifi was better than expected but don’t expect high speed for remote video meetings or the like.
Take the hosts for their word when they say the road in can be a bit nerve wracking. A bit rough for a sedan even in the summer but anything bigger will be perfectly fine. Even the sedan was fine if you’re not bothered by a brief bumpy ride.
All in all a nice stay and nice home.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Meh
Issues were minimal, but enough to disappoint. First, Christmas decorations still up including tree. Furniture layout in photos (open) way better than the way they had furniture when we got there (closed off). Way too cluttered with decorations. Carpet was as close to disgusting as possible. There was a definite “stink” to the place (and no spray to get rid of it — we had to go buy fabreeze). Also, no dishwasher?? Weird. And, the wifi was crap. No internet for half the stay. Frustrating.
Now, with that, there were good things too. We loved the fireplace and plenty of wood to enjoy a fire every day/night. Views were awesome. Communication was spot on. They let us check in early.
