A Cabin in the Pines
We love the idea of getting away to a remote cottage in Colorado’s high country. Yet, more often than not, that “sweet little rustic retreat” you rented online turns out to be a dusty, cold, bare-bones log dwelling with a tattered plaid sofa and animal heads on the walls. Truth is: It’s just not that easy to find weekend escape-worthy cabins on your own. Which is why we’ve done it for you. Throughout Colorado, we found resorts that offer cozy, romantic, well-appointed cabins. If fluffy down comforters, rough-hewn furniture, and quiet nights by the fire are what you seek, we have a cabin for you.
