It was clean, simple, and perfect for what I needed as I was attending a conference at Charis Bible College less than 10 minutes away. I will book again. Also bed was comfortable and supportive, and at night especially the area was very quiet.

Two friends and I stayed here for the Women Arise 2025 conference at Charis Bible College. We felt the tiny home was cozy and had what we needed to enjoy our time there! The beds were clean, and most of the rest of the home was too! There were not clean towels for the kitchen ... I believe they thought they were clean but when I opened the folded towels, some dirt and a small twig fell out. Upon arrival, we were uncertain of which cabin to enter, as they were not labeled in any way we could see. As we entered, I noticed there were four very janky lock plates on the door handle. It seemed to be a cheap way to fix whatever the issue was. Since there was a deadbolt, we felt safe enough to stay. So to sum it up, my recommendation would be to label the tiny homes in some way, either on the siding or on the porch. I would also say to fix the lock plates, rather than just doing a quick, cheap fix! Otherwise, we had a pleasant stay and would likely return!

We stayed in one of Bristlecones Tiny homes and our overall experience was 5 stars. The office staff were so kind and helpful. This was our first time in Colorado and not only were we in the most perfect location but they gave us such good recommendations on things to do. They also made breakfast for you every morning from 8am-10am in the office. We saw some deer walking around the campground which was really cute. I would 100% return for another visit.

We stayed at one of the cabins at Bristlecone Lodge from 9/28/25 - 10/2/25. It was a great experience! The cabin was clean and cozy. Staff was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the Waffle Breakfast each morning. We will definitely stay again in the future.

This tiny home is nestled in a homey little mountain park. Place is older and without a view but easy access to why we came.. Place was clean and provided all we needed. The upstairs has a very low ceiling and an 5’ 3 person unable to stand upright. The mirror in bathroom is set for a person less than 5’. Park was full of long term residents who are very charming. The roads are full of ruts and we had to creep through to avoid being jostled, probably from rain runoff. Staff were helpful. We will be returning next year, just staying in a different spot.. 😁
