About this cabin rental
Historic Crystola Cabin sits at the entrance of Crystola Canyon near Woodland Park. It is one of the original cabins that was built in the 1920’s in the Crystola Township. This little getaway is nestled in the pines at the base of Pikes Peak and is a perfect spot to be away from the crowds yet close to all the activity. It is a cozy, comfortable, remodeled, romantic cabin for couples yet ideal for a small family.
Prepare your meals in a fully equipped kitchen that includes a table with seating for 4 or grill and eat out on the deck or relax at the firepit while viewing the deer and wildlife. All the amenities you need to feel as relaxed as possible during your stay are here, including an in-unit washer & dryer, free wireless internet access, netflex, electric fireplace, upgraded stove and refrigerator, microwave, coffee pot, crockpot, some basic ingredients and spices , linens, towels and paper products, hair dryer and iron, etc. All for your convenience.

This cabin has one bedroom with a queen size log bed that sleeps two and a sofa that opens up to a queen size bed for extra sleeping. Bedding and linens are included. It sports only one bathroom that is equipped with a standing shower.
For our guests assurance, we strive to have a safe and peaceful environment by disinfecting the cabin after each guest leaves and is covid free.
Close to winter & summer activities in a western mountain setting, you never lack for things to see & do. It is .10 mile from the famous Crystola Roadhouse Pub & Highway 24. Manitou Springs is a 20 minute drive where there is something for everyone—5 minutes from Woodland Park and a 45 minute drive to the historic gold rush town of Cripple Creek & Victor where you can enjoy fine dining & gaming fun as well as tour gold mines from yester-year and today. For the outdoor enthusiasts, there are numerous trail heads within a few miles from the cabin for hiking, biking, snowshoeing & ATV’s. Within an hour’s drive is excellent "gold-rated" fishing on the North Platte River. No one is left out.

We were delighted by everything! Close to Woodland Park but still secluded and lovely.

When we first arrived to our cabin we felt so welcome. The cabin was clean and it was exactly as descibed in the listing. The owner had provided everything we could possibly require and so much more. The kitchen was equipped with all of the essentials and we had a very nice gas grill on the patio. We saw lots of wildlife including moutain birds, rabbits, mule deer and marmot's near Pike's Peak. This is such a beautiful place to stay and enjoy the outdoors. There are plenty of places to eat or pick up something to throw on the grill. And there was plenty to do, even if Mother Nature decided to cool the air down with a shower or two. The nights were cool and the bed was so comfortable. After a great day of hiking and a glass of wine to end the evening, this cabin was a home away from home and we can hardly wait to come back ! Thank you so much for a wonderful time and inviting us into your cabin home. God Bless !

A nice quiet little cabin. Just far enough from the highway to feel private, but still close enough that you can get to the surrounding attractions in a short amount of time. The host was very friendly and very accommodating. Me and my wife would recommend this to anyone couple staying in the Colorado Springs area.

A well kept beautiful historic home which quickly throws you back to a time when relaxing was a special time at the end of a hard day only you will feel that feeling all day everyday at Crystola Cabin. If you enjoy a comfortable, relaxing, clean environment with the most beautiful vistas this is the place for you. Can't wait to book another vacation to Colorado and the Crystola Cabin. Thanks guys!!!

This was a perfect cabin for two and in a great location to where we wanted to explore. Bev was a perfect host and responded to any concerns or problems that we had. She even accommodated 2 extra people staying one night. Went above and beyond setting the bed up. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Colorado Springs.

The cabin was very clean and comfortable. It was nice meeting Bev and her daughter. The muffins, cookies, and mints on the bed were a special surprise. The sounds from the little water fountain by the porch was very relaxing while enjoying the beautiful Mountain Views. The cabin is tastefully decorated and has ample supplies. We had a very enjoyable stay at the cabin.

We enjoyed six refreshing days in Bevs comfortable and well appointed cabin. We were in Colorado attending a conference at Charis and the ease of access to the cabin & Woodland Park was wonderful! We had no issues that required reaching out to Bev or Jodie. But knew they were easily reachable if necessary. We trailered our motorcycle & enjoyed several rides in the surrounding area…Cripple Creek, Garden of the Gods & Hwy 67. There was plenty of room to load and unload the trailer at the cabin.

Everything was perfect !! The cabin was in immaculate condition when we arrived and everything you could possibly need was provided. Bev and her daughter, Jody were the best hosts ever !! We loved driving on the dirt road to get to the cabin, brought back childhood memories of living in the country. All I can say is just WOW !! If you don’t stay here when you travel to Colorado you are missing out on a GEM !! We will definitely book this cabin again when we return to Colorado. We visited Pikes Peak, Rocky Mountain National Park, Red Rocks Amphitheater, Boulder, Manitou Springs, Garden of the Gods, etc. Loved coming back to the cabin after a long day of sightseeing. Such a peaceful place to relax and enjoy nature. We were visited by a bear, deer and beautiful birds. Thanks again Bev for a wonderful stay !!

We really enjoyed staying away from the more populated areas! The Cabin was quaint and very accommodating! The kitchen is stocked and the muffins were especially delicious! We had hoped to use the new fire pit but were unsuccessful in getting it to light. We were thankful for Bev's attentiveness due to a bear sighting and a flooded road! It was exciting indeed! So glad we made our decision to stay here! Thanks, Bev!

Recently, I, along with my wife and our two kids, took a week-long vacation to Colorado. We reserved a Monday-through-Saturday stay at the historic Crystola Cabin, which is located just south of Woodland Park and north of Manitou Springs. Let me tell you, it did not disappoint! Staying at the cabin was an awesome experience for all of us! The location was was beautiful and serene, and the weather so much cooler than we have in Texas this time of year. The cabin is in excellent condition and very clean inside. The kitchen was more than adequate for our food prep needs, the bedroom was cozy, and it was very nice to have the washer/dryer to do our laundry while there. The kids loved going outside and exploring, collecting pine cones and watching the horses, and when they were inside, they enjoyed the big Living Room for playing or watching TV. The location is great because it's only a few minutes from several attractions in Woodland Park, Manitou Springs and Colorado Springs. The only downside when we were there is that it rained pretty hard one day, and the dirt road that leads to the cabin flooded for a brief time, but that was just a minor inconvenience. The owner, Bev, was very nice and made herself available to answer all our questions and made sure we were taken care of during our stay. It was an outstanding experience overall and we would definitely stay there again if given the opportunity. I would give the Historic Crystola Cabin my highest recommendation!

Cabin was decorated so cute and was immaculately clean! Bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed sitting out on the deck. Cabin was remote and quiet, but very close to a lot of attractions. Bev and Jody were very kind and helpful. I highly recommend this cabin!!

I had an amazing stay. Bev was so welcoming and her attention to detail is second to none. The cabin was very cozy.
Bev goes above and beyond. Homemade sweets which were delicious! If you forget something not to worry, Bev has you covered.
The location of the cabin was ideal for me. Woodland Park is a super cute town. Walmart is 3 minutes away!
There is so much to explore. You can't take a wrong turn. It's a short drive to Colorado Springs if you want to head that way.
Dont't think twice. I have only the best things to say about Bev and the cabin. It was peaceful, comfortable and perfect. Book it!

Nice area great location to be in the center of the Rockies.
I would recommend this place to anyone that wants to see this area of Colorado. The host's were very nice and pleasant to speak with. You must walk down the street and see the alpacas just to watch the one goofy one it is sure to put a smile on your face.

We loved every minute of our time in Bev's cozy cabin! If you want to get away from home - but feel like you are still at home - this is the place for you. We were absolutely happy in the cabin - it is meticulously kept and decorated so cute! Bev was a wonderful host and we felt like she was more a friend than a host. Gorgeous location close to call and the cabin is fully stocked with everything you could need. We would 100% stay here again when we come back! Thank you Bev!!!!!

Love the cabin and beautiful scenery. Didn’t spend much time in the cabin except to sleep. We were out seeing the sights from early morning to late. The cabin is perfect for small family or two adults.

Really unique log cabin that is historic, functional and comfortable. Close to Garden if the Gods, Pike’s Peak, wolf wildlife center, Kenosha Pass and the beautiful Aspens. We had a great time and loved the porches each morning watching the deer and birds. We will definitely be back. Thank you Bev for the beautiful cabin and treats!

There are many things to do, and all very close to the cabin. We focused on leaf peeping, since we were there during a prime change in season. However, there is also the dinosaur center in Winterpark, and the cliff dwellings in Manitou Springs. If you are a people person, and don't mind the tourist crowd, the cabin is a very nice place to stay. Bev and her family were very nice, and always asked if we were comfortable (we were).

What a fantastic little piece of Heaven! We had a great time staying at the cabin. The owners met us upon arrival. We visited a little and they had suggestions of things for us to do and answered all our questions we had about the area. The very lovely cabin had everything we needed from extra bedding to extra goodies waiting for us. We couldn’t have been any happier with our stay there and we highly recommend it to anyone.

We had perfect weather for our stay. Enjoyed relaxing on the deck and watching Bev's horses. We have stayed here twice, love the Woodland Park area, and Bev's cabin. Everything you need is in the cabin.

This cabin was perfect in every way. Check-in was easy and even though we drove in late, the owner came to meet us and answer any questions we had. The cabin has all the amenities you could ever want. I had brought some condiments, but none were needed. The bathroom was stocked with towels, wash cloths, toiletries, etc. We hosted some guests staying in the area for a few dinners and the outside patio was the perfect place to gather and eat. We also used the grill, so nice to cook outside in the perfect evening weather. My husband signed up for a massage which was just a couple doors down too. There are no regrets on staying here, so don't hesitate.

What an amazing and cozy little cabin, nestled at the foot of some of the most picturesque mountains in the area! The property is immaculately cared for and furnished with all the necessary items, in addition to having so much charm and character! If the cabin and its amenities weren't enough, we were so excited that the owner's daughter is a licensed massage therapist, who is available to provide the best, professional massage therapy we have ever had! You must stay at the Crystola Cabin... it's a magical place!
