Perfect for Weekend Getaway

Great little cabin! We loved the location as it was only 2 minutes from the Garden of the Gods - our intended destination. The place was perfectly clean and kept up. Hot tub was large and already preheated which was nice. I would definitely stay again if we came back to the area. My husband joked that we should have just taken the cabin with us :)
