Book For Spring Break! Summer Stays! Mountain Views, Private Cabin, Free WiFi
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
Blue Bell Cabin is a chalet-style private cabin located in Cripple Creek, Colorado, at roughly 9,100 feet in elevation and set on four acres of pines and aspens. The setting feels secluded and remote, yet it's only about 10 minutes from downtown Cripple Creek. It's a smoke-free, pet-friendly retreat suited to those wanting privacy and a genuine mountain escape.
Rooms & Layout
This modern, fully furnished 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cabin sleeps up to six adults, with a queen bed in each upstairs bedroom and a queen memory-foam sleeper sofa downstairs. The bright, sun-filled rooms benefit from passive solar heating, and all bed and bath linens are provided. The single downstairs bathroom features a tiled tub/shower combination.
Kitchen & Comfort Amenities
The full kitchen comes equipped with a full-sized refrigerator, dishwasher, oven with glass cooktop, microwave, coffee maker, electric tea kettle, blender, and complete dishware, pots, pans, and utensils. Comfort features include a wood stove as an efficient primary heat source alongside radiant baseboard heating, plus a fireplace for ambiance. Guests also have an ironing board, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, and free parking.
Outdoor Living & Recreation
Two private decks offer mountain views, sunrise views over Pikes Peak, star-gazing, and regular sightings of deer and birdlife. The back deck includes an outdoor grill for barbecuing, and a patio and balcony add further outdoor space. Nearby recreation includes hiking and scenic drives such as Phantom Canyon Road, plus access to Mueller State Park and national forest land.
Location & Nearby Attractions
Cripple Creek's historic sites, including the Butte Theater, Old Homestead House Museum, and the Cripple Creek Heritage Center, are close by, along with seasonal rides on the Cripple Creek & Victor Narrow Gauge Railroad. A cluster of restaurants -- including The District Kitchen & Saloon, The Creek, Nonna's Italiano at Nolon's, Rascally Rabbit, and Maggie's -- sit roughly 6.6-6.7 km away, with Colorado Springs Airport about 44 km distant.
Best for
This cabin best suits couples, families, and small groups of up to six seeking a private, nature-focused mountain getaway rather than a conventional hotel stay. The two bedrooms, sleeper sofa, full kitchen, and outdoor grill make it well-suited to multi-day self-catered stays, while pet-friendly policies (with prior approval) appeal to travelers bringing a dog along.
Travel tips
Because the cabin sits below street level at the bottom of its driveway, an all-wheel or 4-wheel drive vehicle is strongly recommended, especially during rainy or snowy winter months. Wi-Fi is available, but guests are advised to connect their cell phones to it for a stronger signal given the remote mountain setting. Restaurants and dining options are clustered about 6.6-6.7 km away in town, so plan for a short drive for meals, and the nearest airport (Colorado Springs) is roughly 44 km away.
