The Milky Way Cabin

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!!!

The Milky Way Cabin

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.

A Fall Fantasy

What a unique and luxurious experience in nature! We stayed 3 nights at the end of September and wished we could stay longer (forever maybe?). Raemi's land was a dream. The tiny house is adorable and outfitted with everything you could ever ask for. We found the water and compost systems to be easy to operate. The land is surrounded by aspen groves (my favorite tree) which were the most beautiful shade of gold this time of year. We saw deer, birds, and chipmunks. The amenities were wonderful. We grilled out and lounged on the patio sofa and hammock. Nearby, we visited Eleven Mile Resevoir (saw a bunch of wild burros!), the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Resue (HIGHLY recommend) , the Florissant Fossil Beds, and an amazing restaurant called Iron Tree in Florissant. There is plently to explore near Florissant as far as hiking and sightseeing go, but honestly, we enjoyed relaxing among the aspens the most. It was such a gift to get away to this quiet and cozy little corner of Colorado. We highly recommend going in the fall, it was heavenly. We will definitely be back very soon!
