Redhawk Retreat - An Artist-built, Cordwood cabin experience

My family and I needed to get away from loud fireworks during the 4th of July weekend. Redhawk provided that quiet, comfy get away for us. We enjoyed fishing, exploring and relaxation. Doug was a friendly and helpful as the people of South Park (the acreage place, not the cartoon!) We had a great vacation!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the Redhawk Retreat. The house was thoroughly stocked with enough supplies that you could easily cook all meals at the house. There were also plenty of dog supplies- bowls, leashes and bones. The yoga mats and blankets in the bathroom closet were a great surprise. I really liked the decor- everything was unique and thoughtful, and I had not planned as spending as much time in the house as I did, but it was really peaceful to do yoga in the living room and sit on the deck drinking coffee. The property is just a few minutes away from the main Fairplay main street and it took me under an hour to get to Breckenridge. There are a few neighboring houses nearby, but they were far enough away that you feel secluded. Everyone I passed while walking my dogs waved at me and seemed very friendly, and overall, it seemed like a very nice community. The valley behind the house is beautiful. I saw multiple deer and a moose one morning. Douglas provided thorough information on the property and things to do in the area and was quick to respond to all messages. I will definitely be back and look forward to visiting again in the Spring. Thank you for sharing your house!

As a Colorado native, it’s important for me to get out of the city and into the fresh air. I enjoy taking my fiancé (who’s not a native) around different areas for weekend relaxing and adventures. High plains of South Park is one of my favorite destinations. We love sleepy and quiet and this area is just perfect. We were a bit early for the leaves, but this perfect cabin home is set in an entire aspen grove. The pictures don’t do it justice! Besides the land being incredible, the home itself is this artsy dream - so unique in design, and complimented perfectly with antiques and beautiful artistic touches. I love every room - the bathroom is perfect, great hot shower and cute window out to the trees. The primary bedroom was where we stayed and had one of the most comfortable beds I’ve ever slept in. I really didn’t want to get out of it. :) kitchen was stocked and well fit for us to cook in, with a sweeping view to boot. Windows surrounding and doors around the upper deck made it wonderful for us to drink our coffee and enjoy the peacefulness. Doug and his wife Liz are wonderful hosts, and I’m grateful they shared their home! They give loads of information prior to arrival for folks who’ve not been to South Park and fairplay. Really helpful and great communicator! We love it! My only feedback would be- someone with a camper truck using the power and water from the cabin parked very close by with a dog - just would be nice to be mentioned as startled me in daylight. :) no issue

We live in Denver and wanted a quick inexpensive getaway. When we arrived there was a huge moth problem and we spent our first night killing about 40 moths. I am just a little disappointed that there was no small refund offered for the inconvenience. We were unable to open windows and enjoy the fresh mountain breeze. I will say the House was stocked well and the master bed was comfortable so that was a plus.
