Great Cabin Getaway
5/5 My wife and I recently stayed here for 4 nights, and we were both very satisfied with the cabin. You can tell a lot of time and money were put into it. Even down to the little decorative details, we couldn't think of a single thing we would change. We didn't need to contact Evolve or any of the other help even once. Everything was in perfect working order. Very clean and tidy.
There are a couple of things to note though that aren't specific to the cabin itself. It is located on a lot that is right up against a fairly busy highway. When you are inside, you cannot hear the traffic, but being outside during the day, it is definitely noticeable. It wasn't a huge deal for us, but it definitely takes away from the secluded cabin in the mountains feel when you are outdoors.
Another thing to note. If you are staying here, do yourself a favor and make sure you arrive during the day. We made the mistake of staying out at Red Rock for the day and coming here at night, and the drive through the mountains in pitch darkness was terrifying. So many winding roads and couldn't see 10ft in front of us and it even started hailing at one point (in May). During the day though, the driving wasn't as bad, but still a lot of twist and turns and steep grades. Rent yourself a vehicle with 4WD for sure.
In Blackhawk itself, there isn't much to do besides outdoorsy things like hiking or going to the casino in town. We originally planned on maybe going to Boulder on a day trip, or down to a hot spring, but honestly, getting up and down out of the mountain was daunting enough to keep us in Blackhawk and the immediate surrounding area.
All in all, this is a fantastic cabin that is in immaculate condition. The only gripes we had were more with the location and proximity/accessibility to other things/places we wanted to do. This was more than enough cabin for the two of us, but would be perfect for two couples or a family getaway.
Manager's Response:
Our mountain roads can be challenging but we think it is worth it for the mountain fun. Outdoor activities definitely are the draw for our cabin. I am glad it was a haven for your time in the mountains!
