Summary:
This cozy cabin with hot tub is tucked away in the mountains just off beautiful Hwy 67 between Divide and Cripple Creek in the western foothills of Pikes Peak. The perfect place for your mountain retreat, you can enjoy a hot tub soak or a book on the deck without seeing another house from the property, but at the same time it's nestled in a quiet, established rural neighborhood. With easy access to trails and wilderness and a quick drive to restaurants, groceries and shops, Hunter's Ridge cabin is a honeymooner's or family get-away dream.

The Space:
There's a living area upstairs and a family room with television and foosball table downstairs, so the kids can watch a movie or play downstairs while you relax by the fire with a glass of wine upstairs. Stay in for a shared meal on the deck or take advantage of the plentiful options for hiking, fishing, boating, horseback riding, history, and other adventures all in close proximity to Hunter’s Ridge.

The Neighborhood:
The cabin is located south of HWY 24 by about 10 minutes, literally on the slope of Pikes Peak and right next to Mueller State Park. Cripple Creek is only 20 minutes away. You are in the mountains so you will see wildlife. You may experience interrupted cell reception, so please record directions and all other information you need for your stay in advance. Wifi is available at the cabin and most guests have found it to be reliable although like anywhere bandwidth and connection reliability can vary from time to time.

Getting Around:
There are few public transportation options in the area. The cabin is in a neighborhood with dirt roads which are generally well maintained throughout the year. If you are traveling when significant snow is possible (between September and May) please be advised that depending your experience driving in winter weather, a Four Wheel Drive vehicle may be a good idea. Make sure you have the contact information for your AAA membership or insurance provider if you think you may need support.

The home is located about an hour drive from the Colorado Springs Airport and about 2 hours from the Denver Airport.

This is bear country. Please do not leave any food outdoors or in your car. The garbage bin is located in the shed near the house. Please make sure you put trash in the bear proof bin and secure the lid. As much as possible, please keep any food trash or strong smelling trash inside the cabin until trash collection or your departure.

The Rainbow Valley neighborhood is situated on an accessible but mountainous part of Pikes Peak where there is no municipal water supply. Thus we do pay for a truck to fill our cistern and for this reason we do ask our guests to kindly use water wisely and conservatively. The cistern holds several hundred gallons and is refilled regularly so running out of water is not a concern.

I love helping guests make the most of their time in our beautiful area but I give my guests their space unless I'm asked to help out. I will be available throughout your stay and love to give advice on local restaurants, attractions, and adventures.
