Cozy Quiet Log Cabin in the Woods w/ Epic Views, Fireplace - Whimsical Hollow

Whimsical Hollow is a darling full log cabin that is nestled among some of the highest mountain peaks in Colorado. The views are absolutely amazing and the home is surrounded by spruce and pine trees. It is a serene and very romantic location. The home has all new furniture and amenities of the highest quality.

The romantic living room has a wood burning fireplace for cozy nights around the fire (you may want to bring extra wood!). There is a dining room with a table that seats 4 and a fully equipped kitchen. There is additional seating at the kitchen bar also. You will find everything you need to make your family chef happy.

There is a bedroom with a king size bed on the main floor. It has beautiful mountain decor and furnishings. It is next to the full bath which has a walk-in shower. The decorations throughout the home are exquisite. Everything reflects the cozy romantic atmosphere of a luxury mountain cabin. Upstairs there is a second spacious bedroom which also has a king size bed. It too has new furniture, linens and amenities. You will love the views from the bed. You can look right out of the two story windows and see the beautiful white capped mountains. What a way to wake up!

The property is on a dead end road with very few properties. It is not a busy and crowded location. You will most likely not see anyone during your stay except an occasional visitor such as a moose or fox. There are also deer and bears in the area. If you watch closely you may even see some elk. The front porch runs the length of the front of the house and has comfortable seating where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee and take in the gorgeous mountain views. There is a gas grill provided behind the home.

The area is know for it's unlimited outdoor activities. Almost anything you can think of is within minutes of the home. You can hike and explore the National Forest right behind the home. There is a road just above the location of the home that you can hike to the end of and be right in the National Forest. Many of the famous 14'ers are located in this area where you can hike or climb. Horseback riding is just a few minutes from the home at the Platte River Ranch. They have hay rides, hour long rides, and even evening steak rides. If you like white-water rafting, the Arkansas River is only a few miles away. You can raft at Buena Vista. They have a variety of trips from safe photo floats to wild rapid trips. ATVing is also great in the area. There are multiple locations where you can ATV. One Trail over Mosquito Pass takes you right into Leadville where you can enjoy lunch or dinner at one of the many restaurants in the restored mining town. This is a fabulous place to shop for antiques too!

About the owners:
As native Coloradans, we love the outdoors, the spectacular seasons, and the diversity of nature.
Our adventurous spirits lead us to purchase our cozy log cabin in 2015. This is a place to get away and unplug from the noise of the city, recharge and be rejuvenated by the awesome surroundings. (It is only a 95 minute drive from southwest Denver on 285. We avoid the crazy I-70 traffic and congestion). Through our front window, we have the spectacular view of Mt. Sherman, which is a 14"er". Enjoying a cup of coffee from our welcoming and relaxing porch and watching the sunrise burst above Mt. Sherman is a wonderful way to greet the day.

This beautiful area and our cozy log cabin are just too special not to share. The fellowship of family and friends is what has inspired us to open our home and hearth. The memories that will be made here will last a lifetime. We hope all who stay here feel the welcome embrace of friendship and hospitality.

Why the owners Chose Fairplay:
Mountains; Outdoor Activities Galore; Proximity to Breckenridge; Small Town Friendly Attitude
The small towns of Fairplay and Alma hearken back to the simpler days of living. We enjoy talking to the friendly locals and playing pool at the South Park Saloon.

Fall Getaway
Enjoyed our stay very much. Nice and secluded which was exactly what we were looking for. The cabin was very well equipped and lacked for nothing. The host of this property was very attentive and stayed in touch when power went out for a short time which I appreciated very much. Overall, I would highly recommend this cabin.

Peace and tranquility!
Loved this property. We saw more chipmunks and squirrels than people while staying here. Our only complaint is the road getting there was terrifying. Miles of washboard dirt roads were sketchy, even in our 4 wheel drive truck. Guess that’s part of mountain living.

Quiet getaway
The property is in a quiet location. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. The owner has done a terrific job of landscaping the property. We spent many hours just sitting on the front porch looking at the mountains. Ok, it was a little chilly, but nothing a fuzzy blanket couldn't fix! We laughed at the very friendly beggar squirrels, who came up very close to us. The property is about 15 minutes from Fairplay, with much of that being a dirt road (washboard). We were glad we drove the truck and not the motorcycle!
