About this property
Brown's Creek Retreat in Mesa Antero
Nestled on 12 acres, the house is surrounded by a beautiful pine forest and offers an amazing retreat from the hustle-bustle of life. Located conveniently between Salida and Buena Vista, you are close to wonderful restaurants, breweries, art galleries, and many festivals. Step out the door of this amazing Mesa Antero neghborhood home and hike into the San Isabel National Forest from your doorstep. Designed by an architect and a professional designer, the house has a very open floor plan with gorgeous windows and plenty of natural light. Although the house officially sleeps 6, there are multiple other spaces in the house including a music room and two lofts, and a gorgeous sun room. Relax on the 1,000+ square feet of deck space and enjoy the gurgling music of Browns Creek in the valley below or spend time in the well-equipped kitchen whipping up fabulous meals. The unlimited data plan (internet) means your family can surf the web with ease when you aren't out exploring. Chaffee County delivers plenty of fun: hiking, skiing, rafting, and fishing just to name a few. Don't forget to hit one of the many hot springs in the area. Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Resort is a very short drive and definitely worth a visit. The resort offers exercise classes, massage and spa services, as well as a variety of hot springs and two swimming pools. Kitchen totally remodeled in June 2025, including new induction stove, Bosch dishwasher, etc. Cabinets hand-made locally by a woodworker in Salida.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Todd Simpson
Your Property Manager Dave Kuker and his wife have been visiting the Salida/Buena Vista area since 1976 and bought a second home here in 2000 and retired in 2010. They live in the same neighborhood just down creek from this beautiful rental property - so they are close by to help out with any issues and also answer any questions about the home. They are happy to make recommendations for local activities and are convinced there is no better place to live - the towering snow-capped Collegiate Peaks, tons of sunshine with Colorado blue skies, endless hiking trails, skiing, biking, river-rafting, fishing - this area has it ALL...!!!
Why they chose this property
The light-filled living area with soaring ceilings is very open and welcoming. The house is wrapped with outdoor decks for relaxing and enjoyinng mountain views. Enjoy the sounds of birds, wildlife, and the year-round flow of water in Browns Creek. The view is spectacular year-round but the promise of fall foliage will take your breath away.
What makes this property unique
With one of the biggest lots in Mesa Antero neighborhood, you will enjoy the peace and solitude of a house that sits at the end of a long, private driveway. Drive through the peaceful pine forest to find an oasis in the woods and breath in the fresh mountain air.
