Summary:
This modern mountain cabin is tucked out of the way in a dense forest, with sweeping views of the back side of Pikes Peak. You won't believe how peaceful it is! Yes, there is good WiFi! You're just a few miles up Hwy 67 to Cripple Creek with small shops, restaurants, and some of Colorado's only casinos! **We do highly suggest 4WD during the winter months with the large amount of snow that the Colorado mountains get each year.
We affectionately call this "Park Ridge Lodge" as a fun nod to the original Park Ridge mining claim it sits on. They may not have struck gold, but we think you'll agree this spot is pure gold. :) We were recently featured by Pic2Click as Park Ridge Lodge, complete with a virtual tour and video!
2000 sqft all on one level, with 2 family rooms so you can spread out. There are 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms. You'll have 2 king bed, 1 queen bunk bed, and 1 twin bunk bed, plus a sleeper sofa.

Bedrooms:
- Master has a king bed and it's own bathroom and walk-in closet
- Next door is "the kids room" with a queen bunk bed and a twin bunk bed (sleeps 6 if they're friendly :) )
- Next to that is an additional king bed
Guest Access:
You'll have full access to the entire cabin, including the surrounding forest. There is lots of Bureau of Land Management (Colorado public) land around here as well! There's plenty of room for parking, just make sure not to block the road.
The Neighborhood:
You'll be just 0.8 miles off Highway 67, and under 4 miles (7 minutes) to Cripple Creek. You'll drive through a county area that is an eclectic mix of million-dollar mansions and old shacks on your way to the cabin. The 0.8 mile drive off the highway is on a maintained dirt road (and plowed in the winter). You'll turn right after a trucking yard, pass a few houses, and come to this cabin near the end of the road.
Getting Around:
If you're looking to walk around, hike, or bring your bike/ATV/etc. there's plenty of room around here. If you're looking for food or shopping or gambling at the casino, Cripple Creek is just 7 minute drive away, and you can get to Divide in 25 minutes. Colorado Springs is 1 hour away. If you're wanting to hit the slopes, Breckenridge and Monarch are both about 2 hours away. **We do highly suggest 4WD in winter months.
Other Things to Note:
AT&T and T-Mobile users do not get good signal here. Verizon and Sprint seem to be good (LTE). We do have fast wifi to help you stay connected, and you can use wifi calling.
Interaction with Guests:
This is a remote area and we will not be onsite. If you have trouble we can be reached by phone and can make recommendations on who to call in case of emergency. We do have exterior cameras for monitoring to ensure rules are followed and for safety.
We require ID verification, terms accepted, and security deposit for all reservations.
