The cabin is cozy and clean. Bedrooms are in a loft with ladder access so if you are not up for that, especially when the bathroom is on the main level, it could be a challenge. It wasn't a big deal for me or my wife, just pointing it out. The property is at the base of the mountains and it is secluded. The property is "pet friendly" and we always stay in properties that are but the rules state that pets can not be in the loft or on furniture. Not very realistic especially when you pay a pet deposit. I would eliminate such restrictions as the rental is picking up a broader base of customers as a result of "pet friendly". Overall we enjoyed our stay and would have no problem recommending it to others.

This place is very cool for when you want to stay somewhere quiet nestled at the bottom of a mountain. It has everything you need, great decor, an adventurous ladder staircase for getting to the upper bedrooms, and friendly chickens to feed! It was also awesome to have fresh eggs for breakfast.

The house is cute as can be. My wife loved the garden. My kids loved the chickens. I enjoyed the eggs every morning, the mountains (always) and the fact that my family loves it so. The listing says it'll sleep 5, so we brought 5. Next, I think I'd keep it the crew to 2 or 3 though. Many thanks to the owner and her keen hospitality...we hope to see and rent from you again.

We really loved this place. For us it was all there. Location is central not to far away but just far away enough. Home was perfect for us. Comfortable and relaxing. Super clean everything works the way is should. We look foward to coming back sometime. If your reading reviews trying to make up you mind... just do it you won't regret it. It's one of those places you find that you tell everyone about except you don't want to tell them where it is cause they'll all start coming and you will never get in again.

Hen house stay
The Hen House was such a great little property. Such a charming house, community, and area. The kids loved the deer roaming around, checking on the chickens, and the views of the mountains. Very accommodating and had EVERYTHING we needed for a great stay!

Artsy, bohemian get away with nature up close and personal!
We enjoyed our stay at the Hen House so much! My 5 year old picked organic veggies from the garden, gathered eggs and played with the chickens daily -- Peaches was her favorite because she was the only one who would let us hold her. Amanda is great as are her neighbors. Such a fun experience!

Excellent Weekend!
My fiancee, brother, and his fiancee spent a long weekend at the Hen House for our first real vacation in a long time. We loved the experience, especially how beautiful and peaceful the property was, and will definitely return in the future!

Fabulous stay!
The Hen House was a great place to stay while in Colorado! My family loved the fun hexagon shaped house with the near loft bedrooms! Amanda made our stay extremely welcoming and comfortable providing all the amenities and even allowing us the fresh eggs and vegetables! We would highly recommend the Hen House and would rent it again if we are in the area!!

Nice hideaway
Our family of five (three kids ages 11, 9, 6) had a great stay at this property. The location is a little off the beaten path in a quiet neighborhood, but near to a small town. It is also close enough to area attractions to be very convenient. We were pleased with the ample amenities for us and even our dog. The kids LOVED the chickens and garden! What a neat added bonus!

Amazing!
In a word, amazing! That is how we feel about this property! Amanda was a great host and made us feel at home, the minute we arrived. The fresh air, awesome flower aromas and the fresh eggs made our stay even better. The Hen House is beautifully remodeled and decorated. Miss Amanda is a master gardener and the frog is really cool! We would recommend this property to anyone and we will definitely stay here again.

Family wedding
Palmer Lake is a beautiful area and this is the cutest property! We enjoyed watching the wildlife right out the front window, had fun feeding the chickens and going for walks with our dogs. Amanda was very accommodating and easy to work with.

Relaxed country feel.
We had a wonderful stay at the Hen house. It was perfect for us and our 2 girls. The loft bedrooms are nice though minimally private. The beds and bedding were amazing and we enjoyed the art studio and record player so much. The outdoor patio and eating area under the tree were perfect for morning coffee and quiet time as well as order in dinner.
We enjoyed feeding the chickens and collecting eggs that we ate for breakfast. It was such a relaxing atmosphere and close to hiking and other activities. Would definitely stay here again.

Cozy and Quiet!
My husband and I recently stayed at the hen house for 5 nights and loved it! We were sad to leave! It has a great location - about 30 mins from Colorado Springs and 1hr from Denver (easy drive from airport). The home was so clean and cozy! The washer and dryer were clean to use. Plenty of parking in front of the home and super easy to check in and check out. This home would be perfect for kiddos who love to be outside! It was just my husband and I, but would be very comfortable with more people. Amanda was amazing and SO quick to respond to questions. She even left us some veggies from her garden on the front porch :) we will definitely be back when visiting Colorado! I miss it this charming home already! :)

So many memories created
It’s hard to express how much we enjoyed our days here. We made so many sweet memories as a family. Our kids are 7 and 5 and immediately made best friends with all the chickens. At first the ladder to upstairs made them (and me tbh) a little nervous but after a few practices up and down with us, they were pros. We put a suitcase at the top of the opening at night just to block it off. The cabin has enough space to be comfortable and also feel cozy. It has everything you need- TV, we’ll functioning kitchen, large bathroom. We loved our little neighborhood, very quiet, everyone passing while we would be outside was very friendly, nice mom and pop restaurants nearby. The kids could run around the yard and I could keep an eye on them out the big windows. We made several day trips to CO Springs, Georgetown, etc., It was nice to come back to our quiet place in the woods. Amanda left great instructions and even a book with recommendations for hikes and places to eat, which was super helpful. This house was exactly the getaway my family needed.

Absolutely stunning home with amazing gardens outside that made me green with envy! Perfect touches inside made this a wonderful spot to rest for a few days. Would definitely recommend.

Family Fun!
Our family loved the peaceful vibe of the Hen House. It was a great set up for a family of 4, with lots of sunshine, natural elements and all the necessities. Our kids loved the chickens, garden and frogs/fish! Checking for chicken eggs and making fresh breakfasts was one of our favorite memories!
The ladder was doable for our 3 and 5 year old. We did block it at night, not sure if there was a gate but maybe one for the top would be nice with littles sleeping up there. Also, we were a little disappointed in the town of Palmer Lake as the lake has little recreational use (no swimming!) but the nearby restaurants and quick access to the interstate made up for it! Totally worth the extra driving to Colorado Springs activities to have this place to come back to.

Relaxing Spot easygoing
The ladder to the bedrooms is a little unnerving for an old guy but not bad. Everything was good

Great getaway!!
We loved the Hen House! I felt like I was walking into the greatest playhouse of all time!! Hiked some great nearby trails. It was a good midway point between Denver and Colorado Springs. Had 4 people and it was great! We would definitely stay here again!!
