Tiny Woodsy Cabin

2 sites · Lodging5 acres · Drake, CO

I purchased this land a few years ago with the dream of building a cabin in the woods with my kids for all of us to enjoy nature together. With the help of my kids and friends, we built this tiny cabin (119sq ft) with a lot of love, laughter, tears and even some blood shed. It embodies a journey for my family in coming together to enjoy nature and overcome many unknowns. It is a representation of our growth, our love and our creativity and I am eager to share it with other nature lovers! It is a work in progress, still, and we hope to add more fun features as time goes on. Thank you! Please enjoy it as we do!
