Beautiful SoCO Mtn Getaway

You’re invited to come unplug and unwind at our treasured oasis - the Petito Cabin in Forbes Park, CO. Take in the breathtaking views of the changing colors of Fall in CO, fresh air, and gorgeous sunrises & sunsets. Light a fire in the fireplace, get cozy, watch a movie, read a great book, roast some s'mores, make some hot cocoa and take in Colorado mountain living. Outside of relaxing in the cabin, enjoy exploring the many adventures that Southern Colorado has to offer including the Great Sand Dunes, Zapata Falls, Fort Garland Museum, Toltec railroad, the Gator Farm, fishing the many surrounding lakes, scenic hikes, hot springs, and more.

The Petito Cabin is located within the spacious and private Forbes Park community. Because there is NO HUNTING allowed in the park, you may see some of the wildlife such as coyotes, wild turkeys, elk, deer, bobcats, foxes, bears and more. ATVS and MOTORCYLES are NOT allowed in Forbes Park but you can still enjoy a scenic drive or hike through the park. There is just as much fun in the cabin as there is outside of it including a smart TV to stream shows & movies on, board games, and kids entertainment including video games and a full size air hockey table!

Whether you are looking to simply escape the daily grind and work remote from the most serene and beautiful surroundings, create lasting family trip memories, or outdoor adventure, the Petito cabin is the perfect spot!

3 Day Stay
This was a quaint little cabin. It is pretty small but had all the amenities, even some bear spray. There are 4 beds for 8 people and one bathroom. Not much of a front or back porch. The master bed was memory foam and felt like a soap dish. Some of the windows do not have coverings. It is at least a 25 minute drive to the highway. Then an hour in either direction for a town. So it is isolated. Overall it was an ok stay.

What a lovely little cabin. This was exactly as presented online and had extra amenities that weren’t listed. The view out the windows of the cabin was across a meadow with a creek running through it and green tree covered mountains in the background. In three days we saw elk in the meadow 5 times. Excellent common areas and air hockey was a fan favorite too. Highly recommended!

Off the Grid
If you’re looking for a vacation to take you out of the rat race and just clear your mind. This cozy cabin is the place to go. It is 30 minutes from the main highway so plan accordingly with food and such, but once you’re there, there is no reason to leave. Great experience and the host was very informative. Looking forward to next time.

Amazing birthday/New Years getaway
Amazing experience. This cabin is about as off the grid as you can get, without being completely isolated. If you want secluded and private this is your spot. The interior is modern and well layed out. Comfortable. Clean. Stocked with everything you could need. The host was easy to contact and very thorough with check in and check out procedures. We stayed for 2 night. Dec 30th and 31st. While the temps outside were cold, the snow was beautiful and cabin was warm. The fireplace was all set up and ready to light when we arrived. It's a short 1 hr drive to The Great Sand Dunes National park and Zapata falls. A perfect distance for a 1 day trip. Our kids loved the loft area and the air hockey table. It was an overall amazing experience for our sons birthday and a quiet New Years Eve. Would definitely recommend!! 10/10

Beautiful, immaculate, and contemporary cabin in lovely wilderness.
First of all, Nicole was an absolutely fabulous VRBO host, going out of her way to make sure that everything was perfect (which it was). Thanks, Nicole! The cabin is beautiful… feels brand new, huge ceiling and 360 views of beautiful surrounding mountains and meadows. Our kiddos loved playing air hockey in the loft upstairs, and we loved cooking with the brand new appliances. Fiber internet is lightning fast… easy to work, stream, etc. with zero issues. Forbes Ranch is lovely… it was about 20 minutes from the highway to the property… you are at the foot of the San Luis Valley and Spanish Peaks regions. We would definitely recommend to friends and family, and hope to return again soon. Many thanks, Nicole and Family!!! :)

Gorgeous location; beautiful home!
This modern cabin is tucked deep in Forbes Park past the fire damaged areas and the big meadow. The pristine forest borders the lot with aspen, fir and pine mingling with native grasses and wildflowers in the backyard. The house feels new and spacious with a stone fireplace, a cathedral ceiling that highlights the wooden beams and paneling. The kitchen is bright and convenient. Upstairs there is a loft that overlooks the main room. Three beds and an air hockey table provide plenty of room for all the kids and their friends, while a private bedroom downstairs is perfect for mom and dad. Overall, our stay was perfect. A couple of improvements would be a more clearly marked driveway and a bear-safe trash dumpster. Highly recommend!
