I purchased this land a few years ago with the dream of building a cabin in the woods with my kids for all of us to enjoy nature together.  With the help of my kids and friends, we built this tiny cabin (119sq ft) with a lot of love, laughter, tears and even some blood shed.  It embodies a journey for my family in coming together to enjoy nature and overcome many unknowns.  It is a representation of our growth, our love and our creativity and I am eager to share it with other nature lovers!  It is a work in progress, still, and we hope to add more fun features as time goes on.  Thank you!  Please enjoy it as we do!A beautiful and quaint mountainous property located on over 5 acres with pine trees, an aspen grove, a seasonal creek and a plethora of birds to enjoy.

Group trip
Jennifer's tiny cabin was so great! It was easy to get to, the instructions were clear and the cabin provided so many more supplies than I was expecting. We cooked out, stargazed (saw a meteor!), went into Estes Park to explore and had a wonderful time in the outdoors. Bring bug spray if you're going in the summer!

Great base for Rockies access!
With kids
Excellent place for staying near the Rockies! The house was clean, exactly as described, and well suited for us 2 adults and 5 kids. We didn’t spend much time inside except to sleep so the small space was fine. There was an issue with the previous occupants not taking care of the toilet which rendered it unusable, but we had brought a portable toilet so we didn’t use it. Entry road, Storm Mountain Drive, is an exciting uphill drive with switchbacks, and some gravel sections with no guardrails - goes up about 1200’ in 3-4 miles, which takes about 20 minutes to/from the highway. For swimming nearby, check out Carter Lake for a nice quiet beach on a reservoir. Great stargazing and plenty of space to explore. We would love to come back!

Cozy Cabin Getaway
With kids
We loved this tiny cabin! Spacious enough with the essentials and gorgeous scenery. We especially loved the morning sunlight filtering through the grove of pine trees surrounding the area. We used the fire pit up near the cabin and were grateful for the seating logs. Was a bit worried about temp as we have a little one but there was no need - I’m sure it fluctuates but in mid June it stayed nice and toasty all night. Tip - there is a beautiful log ladder to get up to the loft - socks can make it kind of slick so it was helpful to be barefoot. Also if we had a generator we definitely would have used the outlets! Thank you for a great wilderness getaway!
