This is 3rd time staying at the Chickadee, and it was just as pleasant as the others. We love how cozy it is; perfect jumping off point for a few days skiing at Loveland. We'll be back next year.

This place was the peace and beauty we were looking for. It was close enough to everything that we did, while being far enough away from everyone to enjoy peace and quiet. The property was amazing and had everything we needed, and more!

This cabin was wonderful—we felt right at home from the moment we arrived. It’s beautifully decorated, very well appointed, and in a perfect location with easy access to everything. The lovely bed was exceptionally comfortable, and we slept so well. The backyard was absolutely sublime—peaceful and relaxing. Diane was a fantastic host, always responsive and helpful.
