Rustic Florissant Cabin: 4 Acres & Mountain View!

Reviews

• Peaceful off-grid retreat

  4/5

  Gathered up there with my family of 14, peaceful and lovely area. House was not very equipped for that many guests, although the property description says so. We purchased and left a blender there, not enough silverware, mugs, basic supplies. pool table was broken, darts were all broken, wifi was spotty at best. Table on porch but no chairs, realized table was set there to cover broken board on porch. House doesn't look as it did when pictures were taken. Needs some serious TLC. I would go back, with a smaller group.

  Hi Laura, we’re so glad you enjoyed the peaceful, off-grid setting and quality time with your family. After sharing your feedback, the homeowner provided a few updates:
  – We're replenishing kitchen supplies to better suit larger groups, and we appreciate you leaving a blender for future guests.
  – Replacement billiard balls are on the way, and the dartboard will be removed to prevent further damage to the wall.
  – The WiFi provider has been addressing some underground cabling issues in the area, which may have affected the connection during your stay, but we believe this has now been resolved.
  – Deck chairs are stored in the closet to prevent them from being blown around in storms, so they’re available whenever needed.
  – The professional listing photos provide an accurate representation of the property, allowing guests to have a clear understanding of what to expect before they book.
  Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We genuinely value your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to exceed your expectations should you consider staying with us again in the future.

• Needs lots of work.

  3/5

  My family gathered here to celebrate my inlaws 60th wedding anniversary. The house fit our needs in size and sleeping capacity. We had a great time! That being said there were a lot of issues: The house is very rundown with multiple items that were broken. The was a broken dining room chair (missing cross bar and unsafe to sit in) and the arm of the one living room chair came off in m;y sisters hand, a broken shelf in the refrigerator door and would not hold anything with weight, the screen in one bedroom was ripped halfway up, 1 kitchen drawer wasn't usable and was broken and another only opened up 1/2 way, there were huge cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling and lights, one of the lights in the bathroom was burned out, unable to turn on ceiling fan, the pool table would not release the balls and so couldn't be used, the towels were old and very stiff, the dishes in the cupboards were thrown in haphazardly and some were dirty (my sister organized them ) no towel racks in the bathroom upstairs, the instructions for the house were scribbled on a sheet that looked like it had gone through a rainstorm and was not welcoming in the least, the outside surfaces were all peeling paint and there were no outside chairs to enjoy the great view. We also found mouse turds on the sink in the morning. Overall just a very sad house that needs lots of TLC. When I called the owner she said she hadn't been there for awhile which was obvious. What we got wasn't worth what we paid.

  Hi Kathy, we want our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we apologize for any issues you encountered during your trip. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  -The kitchen drawer, along with several other maintenance items that were noted, has been repaired to ensure everything is in optimal condition. The front deck was recently replaced with high-quality pressure-treated wood, which required a period to properly dry out over the summer to ensure its durability and longevity.
  -Additionally, we undertook extensive painting and staining throughout the property to enhance its overall appearance and protect the surfaces. These improvements are part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading the property for a better guest experience.
  -Regarding the pool table, we discovered that the billiard balls were missing, and we are currently in the process of replacing them to ensure future guests can fully enjoy this amenity.
  Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We truly appreciate your feedback!

• Remote & Cozy Cabin

  5/5

  It fit the needs for our family well! We enjoyed watching the sun rise in the distant mountains in the east, and the sunset from the distant mountains to the west. Also enjoyed watching the many chipmunks and had deer come almost right up to the cabin Only drawback was 4 miles of rough gravel to get there. But overall, we had a very enjoyable time.

• Just as listed

  4/5

  Very nice cabin, very clean and a good price. We had an issue with the internet, although the purpose of the trip was to connect with family and to get away and it was not a terribly big issue.

  Drove the hour to Elevenmile Lake and enjoyed a day there.

  No power issues or bed issues like we had read in previous reviews.

  One neighbor was unpleasant. The property is 4 acres but nothing marked; we walked to a rock formation within eyesight of the cabin for a few family pics and was confronted that we were on his private property. I informed him that we did not know but we were renting the cabin and was told it was 4 acres, he just sternly repeated it was his private property. We did not venture away from the cabin again.

  We were considering coming back to this cabin again but will not due to the neighbor.
