3 MILES FROM SKI COOPER - COZY CABIN SLEEPS 4!

The Early Bird Cabin is a privately owned, off grid, rustic, timber framed cabin built in 2014 at an elevation of 10,500'. Staying at the cabin is a step up from tent camping or staying in a yurt. The cabin does not have running water (no showers), but it does have an outhouse. The cabin is heated by a propane wall heater and wood stove. Guests must know how to safely start and maintain a fire in the wood stove as outdoor temperatures in the winter months can get to below zero degrees.

A four wheel drive vehicle or an all wheel drive SUV is required during the winter months and an all wheel drive vehicle is required during the summer months. It is not unusual to see 18 to 20 inches of snow fall in one day during the winter. During the winter months, parking is at the bottom of the property on the circular driveway next to the shed (see pictures) and guests must walk up the hill to the cabin about 125'.

The cabin is situated on 6 wooded acres within 3 miles of Ski Cooper and the 10th Mountain Division Memorial in Colorado. Several trailheads are close by for hiking, bicycling, snowshoeing, or cross country skiing. Nova Guides located at Camp Hale, a historical Army military base, provides snowmobile and UTV rentals.

The cabin includes a propane cook stove for cooking, a hand sink for dishes, and a plastic wash basin. A 5 gallon water cube is available within the cabin. (No running water for drinking, so guests need to bring their own.) The loft with one queen bed and one full size bed is a cozy area for sleeping or reading. The cabin’s interior lights are run by battery. A small generator is available for the microwave, television, and DVD player. A selection of DVDs are available along with several board games. Expansive windows on all four sides of the cabin provide ample light and spectacular views of the wooded forest and the Holy Cross Wilderness mountain range. Relax on the large deck grilling burgers on the propane grill while enjoying the clean mountain air listening to the occasional chirping of birds or the chatter of the squirrels running around.
Make yourself comfortable in this cabin, featuring a kitchen with a stovetop and a microwave. There's a private patio.
This smoke-free cabin features games, a video library, and snowboarding nearby. Recreational activities include sledding nearby, rock climbing nearby, and cross-country skiing nearby.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Great mountain getaway
Perfect for a weekend away for my son and me. Easy access to Leadville and all of the surrounding outdoor activities. Nice quiet location if you just want to hang at the cabin.

Comfortable, clean with modern touches such a new propane stove, new little refrigerator, pots/pans, plates, utensils, generator for a microwave, coffee maker and tv/dvd player, an outdoor grill, wonderful deck, great views, huge windows, awesome location near Tennessee Pass, Camp Hale and wilderness areas. Outhouse was clean. Beds were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed ourselves immensely.

Perfect place to unplug
If you’re looking to have a few days away and unplug from the world and just be in nature this is a really awesome spot. It has just the right amount of rustic feel with a lot of modern conveniences and is really well located. Karen and Orlando were super helpful with a booking issue (vrbo site down). I would totally stay again.

Perfect little getaway
If you’re looking to have a few days away from it all this is perfect. No cell service or WIFI, comfortable solitude. Had a little issue communicating with the owner but I’ll chalk it up to the VRBO app itself being unreliable. Best to get direct contact info beforehand.

Rustic
This is definitely a rustic property but we enjoy that. Despite the crazy weather we had a great time. The fall colors incredible and explored some of CO we hadn’t seen before. We’d definitely go back!

The perfect getaway cabin in the mountains
Wow. Just wow. This cabin is perfect - it was just my partner and I staying at the cabin but you could easily fit 4-6 friends there. The lack of water was not an inconvenience at all. The view from the cabin outlooking the mountains is something they should advertise. The cleanliness was beyond perfect, it was so comfortable and such a beautiful home with detail. We will definietly be staying there again.

Cozy Cabin
It is highly recommended that you have 4 or all wheel drive for the winter. It was a very well put together cabin. It had the majority of the things you need to get by. Great place if you want to disconnect for a while. If you have gone camping before but want to stay in something a little warmer, I think this is a perfect option. You can start a fire in the wood stove, cook over the fire, etc. Overall, my fiancé and I enjoyed staying at the cabin.
