Featured in 5280 Magazine's "11 Coolest Colorado Airbnbs." The Bird House is a restored 1970s genuine log cabin — 35 minutes from Denver, a world away from everything else.
Cozy up with cocoa and s'mores at the open-air cinema on the porch surrounded by Colorado forest. It plays in daylight, through rain, even snow. The trees are your backdrop, your favorite film is on the screen, and the hot tub is waiting.
Nightly rate includes Airbnb's service fee + cleaning fee combined.
The space
This is a real cabin — not a new build styled to feel rustic. Exposed log walls, vaulted pine ceilings, a hanging hammock swaying beside the gas fireplace stove. The kind of place where you sit down and realize twenty minutes later you haven't looked at your phone.
Two bedrooms carry original log walls. The master has a hand-crafted wood slice feature wall — and a huge window that frames the forest like a painting. You wake up to pines and bird song. No alarm needed.

HIGHLIGHTS & EXPERIENCE
COVERED CINEMA PORCH — ALL WEATHER, ALL DAY
Projector mounted overhead, pull-down screen, sectional with throw pillows, fire table center stage. Covered roof means sun, clouds, or Colorado afternoon rain — it doesn't matter. Three open sides mean the forest is always present. Guests have watched movies here at 10am and 1am. Both are perfect.
THE A-FRAME HOT TUB
Iconic A-frame deck and sunken hot tub, with long views into the pines. This is what guests mention most. Morning coffee in the water. Wine at sunset. Stars appearing slowly overhead and you unwind.
THE HAMMOCK & FIREPLACE
A proper cabin hammock, hung from pine rafters, beside a glowing gas fireplace stove. This is where slow mornings happen. Where someone always ends up with a book. Where the trip actually starts to feel like a trip.
DESIGNED FOR
People who want the real thing. A fire going, nowhere to be, a movie playing in the open mountain air. The Bird House doesn't try to be a resort. It's a genuine Colorado cabin that happens to have one of the most unexpected outdoor cinema experiences in the mountains.
