| I just returned from the wonderful Coyote Cabin that I shared with 5 or my high school girlfriends. It was so comfortable and inviting. The deck views were breath taking. The gambling wasn't too bad in Black Hawk, but it could always be better. I would highly recommend staying here for anyone who enjoys wonderful views and comfortable surroundings. It was such a good time. Thanks Jeff |

| Just returned from a wonderful week at Coyote Cabin. It is very well equipped and there is so much to do in the area - we hiked, went horseback riding, Mountain biked (and have the bruises to prove it) swam at the rec center - saw dear and a bear on Dory Hill road - even did a little gambling - enjoyed the towns of Golden and Boulder - but mostly enjoyed coming back in the evenings to a beautiful starry sky (with mega meteor showers) and a comfortable place to call home. Kudos! |

We just had a wonderful time at your beautiful cabin. We appreciated how well it was decorated, clean and well stocked. It was a busy place with CD's, poker, pool, and electronic games. We cooked most of our meals there and it was nice that we could all sit in the dining room and bar. Phil and I loved the Master suite and the kids loved the loft. So often places are not as nice as the pictures but your cabin was even better. There was nothing better than sitting on the deck with the beautiful view and nice cool weather. We went to the Water Park, Boulder several times, river rafting, Coors, and hiked. It was a wonderful way to celebrate our 50th anniversary with our kids and grandchildren ( ages 22 to 13). There was laughter and fun every day. What wonderful memories. We all want to come back. Thank's so much. (Coyote Cabin guests 8-1-09 to 8-8-09)

Coyote Cabin is an incredible paradise tucked into
the woods with all the modern comforts of home.
It's very hard to pick a favorite part of the house
but the loft gets my vote. The views are
spectacular!!!! My other favorite part of the house
were all the gorgeous little lighted houses gathered
above the kitchen. The house seemed to be our
home! |

| July 1st to 8th, 2008. What a wonderful vacation! We took our best friends from England, their daughter and our three daughters and couldn't have wished for a better place to make great memories. The cabin was awesome and centrally located to enable us to take day trips. We went white water rafting in Idaho Springs, shopping in Breckenridge. We went to Manitou Springs and up in the cog railway, spent a day shopping in Estes Park (can you tell we've got teenage girls) returning over Fall River Road through the Rocky Mountain National Park, and finished up on our last day with a trail ride at Sundance Stables in Nederland. We also watched the most fantastic fireworks display in Black Hawk on July 4th which is pretty funny for a load of Brits! All in all, we had the perfect mix of relaxation and fun activities. But some of the most precious memories were sitting on the deck drinking tea (hot of course),with our friends, feeding the resident chipmunk with cereal and soaking up the unbelievable mountain views. Thank you, Jeff and Dawn for sharing your home. We had the BEST time. |

| This was our first time staying at the cabin and I must say it was an outstanding experience. I would rate the cabin and amenities (5)out(5) stars! However a "HOT TUB" would have put it over the top. Me and my family could not believe the views looking over the mountains, I took more pictures than I ever have in my life. I discovered you can not take a bad photo with these views. The other nice aspect was dealing with Jeff Kelley, he was the perfect host and made the reservation process a no hasele experience, easier than ordering a pizza. He also stayed in contact with us during our stay, keeping a close watch on the weather and had people and equipment on standby. I would highly recommend this mountain retreat to everyone, but at the same time I also want to keep it a secret place, as anyone who has stayed there would understand. |

| This was our second time staying in the cabin and it was great. As soon as we got into Denver it was snowing and the kids had a great time playing in the snow. Copper Mountain was a quick trip so the kids could go tubing. With so much nearby, great views from the house and a very nice and clean house to stay in, we will be back again!! We would definitely recommend this wonderful place to everyone! Thank you!! |

| WOW!! Everything turned out to be much better than we imagined! The views are spectacular! The pictures do not do the cabin or the views justice. My wife and I found plenty of things to do. White water rafting was great. Walks were fabulous! (Follow the road...it makes about a 3 mile loop.) Local restaraunts were delicious. (Especially the german restaraunt in Nederland) My wife and I can't wait to come back!! Thanks again! |

| Coyote Cabin was a perfect place to relax after a day of hiking, swimming, or driving. The children's reaction to the "cabin" was priceless. We were all pleasantly surprised to see how beautiful the view was from every window in the cabin. The rental process went very smoothly and we would rent from Jeff & Dawn again....most definately!!! |

What a beautiful home and perfect surroundings. I could not have asked for a better spot to spend my vacation with my family. We had three generations staying at the house and all had a great time. Mr. Kelley was a delight to work with and the house was even better that expected. I wish we had gone to the recreation center down the street earlier in the week, what a wonderful place for the kids and adults to have fun. The heated pool had a wonderful water slide that we all had fun with. Anyone who stays there will be spoiled by the views from the deck. Wow that was gorgeous. Thank you again for sharing your home with us. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Jeff and Dawn,
Thank you so much for sharing your cabin with our family. It was the first visit for my brother and his family and your place made it that much more special. Everything was perfect. We wanted for nothing. The skiing at Eldora was unbelievable and we are looking for dates for next year now. Thanks Again |

Your place was an awsome place to stay on our holiday visit! Our family will have many lasting memories of our visit to Colorado! We had fun skiing, snowmobiling, and just enjoying Coyote Cabin! The views were breathtaking! The cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed to make our vacation a wonderful one! Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful place! I can't wait until we come back!!! (hopefully, I will be a pool shark by that time!) Thanks again for all of the memories!!!

| We stayed at Coyote Cabin the last week of July and were joined by relatives from Ventura, CA. We all brought motorcycles and fulfilled a dream of riding the mountains of Colorado. We had the best time possible and one of our pleasures was Coyote Cabin. This is a wonderful property with a million dollar view, wonderful decor and great comfort. The pool table was an added plus and we spent several evenings enjoying it. We would highly recommend Coyote Cabin to all and hope we have the opportunity of enjoying it again in the future. |

To all Guest Book visitors.
3-24-05. My family and I stayed at the Coyote Cabin for a week and so far it has been our best vacation ever. We recommend it to anyone. The cabin is beautiful, is a luxury home. It is equipped with everything we needed. The surroundings are awesome. Dusty, a super nice guy who was always checking to see if we needed anything.
For my family, it was something really expectacular, since we come from a city life in flat Florida. The kids loved playing in the snow, driving in the mountains and looking out for wildlife. We saw squirrels, a coyote, rabbits, and deers. We visited the Denver Downtown, Winter Park Ski Resort, we went snowmobiling at the Fraser Valley, we took the Ski Train from Denver to Winter Park. We also visited the casino at Black Hawk, tried skiing at Eldora Ski Resort (with no much luck). Took the kids sledding at a nearby park where there is a softball field. We had a tremendous time, a SUPER GREAT VACATION. Thanks to Jeff and Dawn. |

Jeff & Dawn: After two days of snow fall, we enjoyed home made snow ice creme in front of the fireplace, bringing back many wonderful childhood memories. At night, we were amazed at how many stars filled the sky, stars you just don't see living in the city. We enjoyed the view, the wildlife and all the memories Coyote Cabin allowed us to create.
Thanks for having us.

| My family stayed at the Coyote Cabin for 4 days to ring in the new year. I can think of no better way to have done so. The cabin is far more than a cabin...it is a luxury getaway. We spent most of our time at the cabin soaking in the breathtaking views of the mountains. I will definitely return again and again. We drove all the way from North Texas and would rate our experience much better than positive. We brought more than we needed considering how well equipped the cabin is. I look forward to my next stay....EVERYTHING was perfect!!!! Thanks Jeff! |

The house is so nice, you are lucky to have such a great place. We will definitely be repeat customers, next time we may bring more people though. The entire house is very clean and the upkeep excellent. The large deck is a real treat, providing access to the great outdoors. The small deck upstairs is nice and private as well.
I believe it was Thursday night that we saw at least 30 falling stars, probably more, but at least that many. The Perseid meteor shower always occurs in August and it happened this year the 12th was the peak night. During the peak they claim you can see at least 60 per hour, maybe more depending on the area. It was cool outside, but the view made a person easily forget. It was a very relaxing time, which is what we wanted.
We enjoyed the hummingbirds also. My grandmother always had hummingbird feeders in Colorado Springs. I had never seen one sit on a branch (or the edge of a feeder) until last week, it was all a special time. We felt at home the entire time. Thank you so much for making your mountain homw available as a rental, we appreciated it so much. |

| We had an incredible 4 day stay at the cabin. It was an hour from our home. It was the perfect weekend getaway. We stayed at the property 99% of the time. It had all the comforts of home and more. We look forward to our next trip back to the Cabin. This is in our "top 3" favorite places to go now. We would recommend this to any of our friends. We'd love to see the addition of a hot tub! That would make this the #1 place in our books!!! Garry and Susan |

My wife and I stayed at the Coyote Cabin in mid July. We found the home beautiful, clean and in excellent condition. The home is accurately dipicted as shown in the photo. And we found the furnishings to be new and luxurious.
The surroundings were quiet and peacful and we enjoyed our time there.
This is a very nice place and I would not hesitate to recommend it to my friends.
Mr. Kelley was friendly and provided accurate directions to the home. After leaving, my security deposit check was promptly mailed back to my residence.
