Our Very Private Log Cabin Retreat is situated on your private bank of the beautiful Chalk Creek, and is nestled in the heart of Colorado's most spectacular 14,000 foot Peaks, (Mount Princeton, Antero, Yale), and the Famous White Chalk Cliffs, overlooking Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Pools. Visit the recently awarded Browns Canyon National Park, which is just a short drive away. Spend your day just relaxing with the sound of Chalk Creek at your back yard or adventure out for a day of rafting, horseback riding, fishing, hiking, ATVing along with all the winter activity. For Skiing, Monarch is about an hour away along with all the other major ski resorts like ski cooper, Brechenridge, Copper, Vail etc.. just a bit further. Our 1,200 sq.ft., two bedroom Log Cabin is surrounded by spectacular quaking Aspens and Mature Pines, with views of Mt. Princeton and Antero just outside your living room/kitchen windows. Relax on one of two decks, or enjoy sitting in a forest eco-system overlooking the rushing waters of Chalk Creek. Enjoy our new outdoor fireplace which can be used even during fire restrictions. If you enjoy fishing, test your skills in one of the many nearby lakes, or just walk a few feet down to your private 200 feet of creekside fishing.

Our authentic Log Cabin has a Southwestern/Mountain decor and has been restored with all the modern conveniences while maintaining its rustic charm. The living room has a large wood burning fireplace, satellite with 50”flat screen TV, Vaulted tongue and groove Aspen ceilings, and ample seating.

The master bedroom has a luxurious king-size bed, vaulted ceilings, 46” TV, skylights with block out shades. The second bedroom has two twin size beds.

The large kitchen/dining area has all the modern conveniences along with a working antique cast iron cook stove, if you choose to cook the old fashion way. Enjoy a small camp fire on those chilly nights. If you like to ATV and/or Snowmobile, our location is perfect for connecting to a multitude of trails without having to trailer to them to a trail head. No trailers larger that 21 ft allowed.

This is our second time staying at this property and it was every bit as wonderful as we remembered! We came up for the 4th of July weekend to get away from all the crazy fireworks and loud noises in our neighborhood, and the peace and the quiet were exactly what the doctor ordered! Loved being able to sit Down by the River on the sSwing, or up on the deck and watch the hummingbirds! The beds were comfy, the shower hot, and the cabin had everything we could need! This is the place to come when you need peace and quiet and to be able to connect with nature! Town is a little bit of a drive away, but that's okay, and if anybody was interested in being social for the 4th of july, Buena Vista throws a great party!The best part was being able to bring our fur babies a long, it is so hard to leave them at home when we go on our little trips, and we really appreciate the owners willingness to accommodate them!

This is such a charming cabin. Very quiet and historical area. You can hear Chalk Creek passing by below and view, not only the natural landscape, but also the way the owners maintain the property with care and appeal.

More beautiful than the pictures convey! Peaceful, gorgeous location. Cabin filled with windows, including a skylight in the bedroom so you can view stars from your bed. Best place I've ever stayed in the mountains. Can't wait to return!

Perfect Cabin near Trails

We loved our short stay at the cabin in the woods. We loved the fireplace and the location. The master bedroom is amazing! Bed was great and the skylights were awesome. The location is so close to so many trails in the area. We would stay again for sure. Host were very accommodating and good with communication.

Lovely cabin by the creek

The setting for this cabin was outstanding. The sound of the creek, peaceful location and good size living spaces made for a relaxing vacation. The nearby location is great for hiking, hot springs, mountain passes (Cottonwood) and lakes. A good slice of being in Colorado.

Fabulous Mountain Get Away

A little gem of a place in a beautiful setting! The cabin gives of a perfect mountain feel, secluded, quite other than for the sound of the river, with comfy beds and gorgeous views! Close to fishing, dog friendly and we even saw a moose! So happy we could bring our furry family members, it makes all the difference, and the hosts were on site, friendly and very helpful! Hoping we can come back someday!
