About this property

Colorado Mountains at Really Blessed Cabin

We are 10 minutes from Cripple Creek with the restaurants, casinos and the new Ice Castle attraction.

The fee shown is for the cabin which has 3 bedrooms - 2 Queens and a King bed. The website automatically bills for our Sleeping Quarters we call a Bunkhouse if you have 7 or more guests at booking. Optionally, the Bunkhouse can be added as a 4th bedroom if guests need separate arrangements. It has two queens... one on main floor and a mini-queen in a open and short loft (more details are below). Non-family groups should keep this in mind (work crews, employer retreats, etc.)... the fee is $100 per night if added as an option. For families, the property will sleep 10 in beds and then we offer a free Cot as well.

We do not allow construction employee housing use, construction work crews to rent the cabin due to prior damages. We do not allow parties or one person to book and others use the property. The booking party is the responsible point of contact and is required to stay at the property for the booking period. We allow 1 dog with the pet fee or maybe two small pups with approval.

The VRBO posted rates here are for the nightly rental of the Cabin. No weddings, ceremonies, receptions or parties are allowed in this booking type. We are a wedding venue so contact us if interested in this use. To safeguard this, we have a view of the exterior and arbor areas via camera.

Our high-altitude Really Blessed Cabin (sitting at 10,200 feet) is a log cabin and property offering spectacular panoramic views of Pikes Peak and it's southern ridges in Colorado's high country above the picturesque Gillette Valley. From outdoor settings overlooking the majestic Pikes' Peak, to the log cabin that reflects the essence of the Rocky Mountains, Really Blessed Cabin helps create a truly "take your breath away" experience. This spectacular view is enjoyed from the interior front wall of vaulted windows, as well as, from the wrap around deck. The setting is dramatic.

LOG CABIN
The interior log cabin, appointed with vaulted, tongue and groove beamed ceiling is an ideal place where your family and guests can come together to celebrate your special day. Accommodations are for up to 6 guests in the main cabin with a king bedroom and two other queen bedrooms. A new groom's bunkhouse, sleeping another 4 guests is available. Other log cabin amenities are wood and slate floors, fully equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances, luxurious lighting, wine cooler, granite counters, and tasteful Colorado style decor, including wall mounted Elk antlers. Two full bathrooms round out the log cabin.

Our wood stove will keep you toasty on those chilly Colorado nights. A large 60" HD satellite-fed television with Blu-Ray DVD player, surround-sound system and WIFI are available. An audio cable is available for your music through the outside speakers over the hot tub and deck. Another Blu-Ray player is in the King bedroom for that TV (bring movies). We do have cards, books, and various board games to play during your stay. If there is not an outdoor fire and smoking ban, you may use the outdoor oversized firepit for cooking and ambience.

Our Accessory Bunkhouse -Sleeping Quarters may be added after the fact to a existing reservation at $100 additional per night (plus Vrbo fees). The Bunkhouse will sleep an additional 4 guests in two queen beds. The restrooms in the cabin will need to be shared but we have a water dispenser for coffee, etc. It also has a fold-down dining table, TV with Blu-Ray player, a loft and a wood-stove styled heater. It is ideal for a glamping experience, over-flow sleeping, Artist Studio, etc. We do not allow children under 16 to sleep unattended in the Bunkhouse. For more guests, we also offer our RV or Camper pad with 30 Amp service at $50 per night. There is a drop station available as part of this fee.

Our 5-person hot tub with a waterfall jet and colored lighting sits on the deck where the mountains can be enjoyed or viewing the stars if you take a soak after dark.

Please be accurate with your number of guests as we purchase our water supply or manually deliver it for each guest group. Please keep this in mind by taking short showers, not leaving the water running, using a single towel during your stay, etc. The washing machine is not available to guests. Exceptions will be for longer stays with a water charge.

The home looks up at the SW side of Pikes Peak summit. The summit is roughly 7 miles away and about 4,000 feet higher. The new Summit House Roof on the far right of the top and roadway switchbacks can be seen as well as the Incline Train railway track.

The Cabin sits on a ridge at over 10,000 feet elevation and the views are remarkable. We require Snowy Season use of a 4x4 or AWD with good tire treads (or snow tires). I would suggest being there to check-in at 4 PM during daylight rather than late or middle of the night in case you get lost. We do not pay for towing, etc. If you get stuck please try to move off to the side for other vehicles (neighbors) and you will need to hike up to the cabin. I wouldn't attempt arrival in a blinding snow storm so check the weather if it is questionable. From most of May on through October, 2wd vehicles and motorcycles are fine to climb the ridge.

Our check-out time is 10 a.m. because of the amount of work needing to be done. Our housekeeper is punctual (set an alarm, please). Again, check in time is 4 p.m. The home likely will not be ready until then, but I do recommend arriving close to this time than late at night to avoid being lost (GPS units do not work to the Cabin) or due to weather. Please let us know in advance should you need an early check-in.

It is an easy 10 minute drive to Cripple Creek, 35 minutes to Woodland Park's restaurants, etc., and a beautiful 50 minute drive to Manitou Springs and western Colorado Springs.

We are not Weed (MMJ) friendly, thus, no weed is allowed, neither inside or outside. There is an ashtray for outdoor cigarettes but be aware when a fire ban is in effect outdoor smoking is also banned. Smoking in your car might be your best idea or in a bar in-town. Damages, the smell of smoke, missing or lost items such as pillows (ours are marked), etc., will be charged.

Let me know questions you may have. God bless!

Thanksgiving Vacation
First and foremost this property is exactly as described. 4x4 is a must for the steep climb to the house. I know I see people complaining about not being able to make it up to the house. This is why you should read the property details!!! The house was perfect we cooked Thanksgiving dinner here and had everything we needed, of course I brought my own turkey cooker. Beautiful views from all angles. We will definitely be staying here again.

Beautiful sunrise
This property is beautiful and the cabin is lovely. If you're looking for rest and relaxation this is the place. If you're more on the adventurous side, this cabin is well off the beaten path and good hour drive or more to main attractions.

What we loved about this property was the view!! It overlooks Pikes Peak & the property is a perfect mountain cabin. It had everything we needed to cook our meals and enjoy each others company. The closest town is 15 minutes away and had essentials and a few good places to eat. I would come back again just to sit in the hot tub or by the fire and look at the beauty of Colorado. 💙

About the host

Hosted by Matt Turner

Host profile image
Matt - An Atlanta native, I moved to Colorado in 2012. I have been a real estate appraiser since 1987... with a tinkering in the remodeling, property management, wedding businesses, and ministry.

Stacey - Though originally from Michigan, the United States Air Force brought Stacey, to Colorado 30 years ago. Always giving specialized parties for family (especially her five children) and friends, it was a natural fit when her friend invited her to join her in wedding planning at a local venue. Later, they received "Best of the Springs 2016 Silver" for wedding planning in Colorado Springs. She and our family have done over one hundred weddings and now helps operate a wedding decor rental business and in Event/Catering Sales at a large hotel.

In addition to Stacey's modern and elegant style for planning, she brings creativity and personalization to inspire you when you meet with her. Attention to detail is her specialty. Stacey is passionate about her craft and is dedicated to providing quality service to all her clients and guests.

She has formerly served on the Board of Directors for two ministries in Colorado Springs and volunteered at her church. Stacey enjoys entertaining and spending time at our home in the mountains of Colorado.

Why they chose this property

The VIEW! The view, coupled with the beautiful log cabin, pavilion, treed property, and the venue price makes it a sought after wedding venue destination. What we have to offer in inclusions, besides our experience, is something that is exceptional in this business. We care about the people that visit our property and venue.

Hiking: I would suggest using www.cospringstrails.com for trails, etc. Plan for fast weather changes (listen to forecasts as it can snow on what had been a warm day earlier). On this side of the mountain, there are The Crags trail (off Hwy 67) Raspberry Mountain, Horse Thief Falls - Pancake Rocks (at the tunnel parking area on Hwy 67), Dome Rock trails but for an easy stroll try the series of trails in Florissant Fossil Bed Park on Teller County Road 1 (north of Cripple Creek -a fee is required as it is a National Park. It has a cool visitor's center). Neighborhood walking is permitted but please stay on the roads during hunting season and to keep from getting lost.

Elk Stalking: For these enthusiasts, late evening and before dusk, try this spot: Drive to Divide and go right about 3.5 miles near Mile Marker 381. If the elk herd shows, they will be coming out of the woods to your right (south) or to the southwest. Traffic there moves fast so be very careful in that area. There can be a crowd there, too.

Jeep Tours/Guides: I would suggest checking with my friend 'Ridgerunner' to arrange guided open-air or canopy Jeep tours and trips such as Rafting, Segway tours, Zip-lining, Hiking, etc. Please request him - he's called "Ridgerunner" as a Guide name. You may also book online with him at www.advoutwest.com or call them at 719-578-0935. His personal cell is 626-774-4051. Ask about Bighorn Sheep canyon for rafting. It's more bubbly rather than hard-core. There is a newer zipline in Manitou Springs and a new scary one in the Royal Gorge Park (1,200 foot high).

What makes this property unique

This property began as the personal home of Matt.. Instead of keeping the "take your breath away" view to himself and with encouragement and vision from Stacey, who in 2017, became Mrs. Turner, the Really Blessed Wedding Venue side of the business was opened.

Fun Continued:
Also, there's a train ride into the huge Royal Gorge (Canon City) which has open-air cars to look up the 1,200 feet to the Park, bridge, swings and zip line. Ridgerunner might be able to help with it, too.  Cripple Creek has a short narrow-gauge steam engine train, too. https://cripplecreekrailroad.com/ Leadville, Colorado also has a train now as well. www.LeadvilleRailroad.com

Seasonal Horseback riding is also available nearby. The famous one is M Lazy C Ranch, 719-748-3398 just west of Lake George. ATV/UTV tours (group rides) are available from Rockhound Rentals, 8825 US Hwy 24, Cascade, CO 80809. 719-684-2408. You might Google 'Things to Do in the Pikes Peak region of Colorado' for a more expansive list like driving up Pikes Peak (their webcam is https://parks.coloradosprings.gov/pikespeak) was $20 per vehicle (have good brakes!!), the Air Force Academy, the Olympic Training Center, the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the Broadmoor Hotel grounds and restaurants, etc. Some brochures were in the Cabin.
