Living In the Milky Way

With pets

We loved our stay at The Milky Way Cabin for a quiet Thanksgiving getaway! In fact, there was a new moon and we were definitely in the height of stars!! Raemi is a wonderful host and has great taste in her tiny home design. We enjoyed new snow and sat on the deck in the morning sun drinking coffee and watching the wildlife saunter through the property. We also enjoyed taking walks along the roads around the property and met nice neighbors along the way. The website has all the info you need to operate the solar and generator and other systems at the house. Advice…Take the time to learn and understand the systems and your stay will be easier. The internet is lightning fast if that is something you need/like. We enjoyed visiting the Evergreen Station (Clover Custom Crafts is part of the building and Ardell is the owner and she carries local artisans goods) just south of Florissant and driving into Cripple Creek and Victor. Rita The Rock Pusher Troll is an absolute “must see” in Victor. Lovely property and overall excellent experience!!

Amazing place!

Amazing stay! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and exactly as described. The location was perfect, yet quiet and peaceful. The host was incredibly responsive and provided thoughtful touches like in decorations, local recommendations and anything we might need in the kitchen. It truly felt like a home away from home. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!!!

Raemi’s tiny cabin was the perfect getaway for my wife and I and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. The cabin itself is extremely cozy and comfortable, totally welcoming, and sits on a beautiful piece of property surrounded by aspen trees. The location is ideal as well, we felt secluded and enjoyed all the peace we were searching for but the cabin was still easily accessible and conveniently located roughly 30min from the town of Florissant. Our stay took place in late October and we experienced just about every kind of weather Colorado has to offer throughout our time at the cabin; snow on our first night, rain the next morning, and sunshine & blue skies to round out the trip. Regardless of the weather, we felt warm and safe the entire time. All the off grid systems in the cabin were easy to use and offered some of the nice conveniences of home while still feeling like camping. One of our favorite features was the large porch with comfortable furniture and gas fire pit, even with some of the colder temps we were still able to enjoy the outdoors well into the evening without being uncomfortable. Overall, Raemi’s property was exactly what we were looking for and we’re already planning to book another (longer) stay as soon as we can. Highly recommend!

An amazing stay

This place was AMAZING. it had everything we needed to feel like we were camping with the luxury of having a tiny house to stay in. The fire pit was an amazing spot to hang out and all of the aspen trees were beautiful. It was private and secluded. At night we used the porch to have a fire and relax while listening to some music. It was a rainy weekend so the cloud cover made it hard to see any stars but no doubt we will be back for those Milky Way views. If you’re thinking about staying here DO IT! You won’t regret it.
