Beautiful Cabin

This was a beautiful cabin. Very secluded but had a very comfortable feel. The dirt road says 10 miles but will take you at least 20 minutes to get down. We came through Colorado Springs and stopped at walmart to get supplies. This is the closest place to get eveything we would need. The heated floors were amazing! We had 4 kids 9-16 they all loved the cabin as well. If you bring little kids that get hp through the night do not put them upstairs as you can hear every movement, even in the bed itself. Over all we would go back.

The perfect cozy mountain getaway!

Paul's cabin was the perfect stay for our group of 3 couples. There was plenty of space to accommodate everyone and the shuffle board and pool table made for easy fun. Stunning mountain views from the main living area and deck! Loved the location... We went to the Mt. Princeton hot springs which was about a 50 minute drive and was well worth it. Would absolutely stay at Paul's cabin again!

Hartsel Cabin Stay

A beautiful cabin with fantastic views. The drive to the cabin definitely needs 4 wheel drive, but it is worth it.The cabin had everything you needed for a comfortable stay.It was great that there was a pool table and tabletop shuffle board which were used frequently during our stay.

Beautiful Cabin and Majestic Views

My family and I (husband, two daughters their husbands and 4 month old babies) all stayed for a week. The cabin is very clean, beautiful, and the views are amazing. We loved having a fully stocked kitchen with pots and pans, blender etc! Made cooking easy and you don’t need to bring anything! Paul has thought of everything and has supplied so much like games and movies and books. We had trouble trying to figure out the satellite TV and ended up just watching movies when we did watch something. The only thing that we did not like which is nothing against the cabin is how far we had to travel in the neighborhood to get to the highway to go to BV or to get to the house from the main road. We were four wheeling daily so packing a heavy loaded trailer through roads that are a little rough took about 30 min of driving (bc it’s a bit rough) to get to the house or the main road was kind of time consuming. We would definitely pick to stay here again especially if we are just going to stay in for a week and didn’t have to drive as much. But it was well liked by us all!

Wonderful cabin!

We really enjoyed our month at Paul’s Cabin! So peaceful & relaxing; it was the perfect vacation! Everything was as described & it was very comfortable & cozy. This was hands down the best equipped vacation rental we have ever stayed in. We enjoyed the wood-burning fireplace, views of the mountains & hiking around the cabin. We would highly recommend to anyone looking for a great getaway.

Family Fun

Paul’s cabin is the perfect refuge for our family—no traffic or city noise, gorgeous 360-degree vistas in quiet solitude and great outdoor spaces to watch the sun set behind the mountains. Plenty of space for kids and adults alike. Kids loved the games, pool table, table shuffleboard, and ping pong table.

Paul’s Cabin

Beautiful cabin, lots of room to spread out. Property owner/manager communicated with us constantly. Views wrre spectacular. Only drawback was the road to get there (that the owner has nothing to do with), rough and do not tow a trailer above 10 mph and no cars that sit low. Otherwise loved the cabin and the stay.

Hartsel Cabin

The facility was spacious enough for 7 adults to feel that we had adequate space and privacy, but good common space for family times as well. Our frustration was in the lack of cleanliness--the refrigerator and the stove were both extremely dirty inside and appeared to not have been cleaned for some time. The only other concern was the road leading up to the cabin, which is clearly beyond the responsibility of the owner, but was very rough.

Thank you so much for allowing us to use your property for our micro wedding! It was absolutely beautiful! It was the first time for half of our family to visit Colorado and they couldn’t get enough of the view. For anyone interested in booking the BNB I recommend stocking up before check-in and be mindful of the road leading to the property.
