About this property

The Little BONANZA Buck

This is a "Pay it Forward" cabin, I did my part, you do yours, "Thank You."

The property is 13 acres with a creek flowing through. The Buck House is a 3-story house with 6 levels and wrap-around decks.

The main house has the master bedroom with the master bath located on the upper level. This bedroom has its own private deck, and the bathroom has a jetted triangle 2-person bathtub. The second level has a bedroom with a walkout glass door onto a deck that is located on the back of the house close to the creek. The lower level has a room (guest, game or whatever) with the attached greenhouse. This room has a fold out couch, coffee table, TV and a dining/entertainment table and a fold out card table.

HOUSE RULES:

The cabin price is based on 2 people, all extra guests and pets are $25 more per night. Make sure you verify all before arrival. This is your home in the mountains, surprises are good but not the type that is to sneak one over on Jeff or the other guests on the property. Like you tell me one pet and have 5, or one guest and I arrive to find a tent and a camper. With a total of 7 people. If you bring extra guests (people or pets) and did not include them when booking it is best you inform Jeff immediately and /or use the drop box on the property located at Jeff's house. If you do not inform Jeff/use the drop box, you will be charged double when you leave, this will come out of your damage deposit. That is $50 per night for each and not $25. HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY. (OR) you will lose your deposit. I am tired of people, not the pets, trying to get over on me and me letting it happen. It took too many years to fix these places up, never getting paid and now, I just wanted to be treated as I ask. Thank You Jeff and all honest guests! Remember to be honest in your communication on the number of guests or pets. We will work with you always as you work with us.

I do have the internet upon request, I want people to spend time together not by texting but by bonding as in the old days. I will give you the password, but I do not want guests downloading movies or streaming music, it will slow or shut down from overuse, you came to relax.

The house is provided by well water, you may want to bring drinking water. Some do not like well water for drinking or making ice.

Check out:

'LEAVE AS FOUND OR BETTER'

THIS IS YOUR HOME AND OTHERS IN THE MOUNTAINS.

Please ensure that the:

WOOD BOX IS FULL AND READY FOR NEXT GUEST. Make sure the wood is the type that is dry, and small to medium-sized so those who arrive next can easily start the fire.

THE DISHES ARE CLEAN AND PUT AWAY, AND THE COUNTERS LEFT CLEAN,

FLOORS ARE CLEAN AND ALL RUGS HAVE BEEN SHAKEN OUT AND PUT BACK AS FOUND. (If the floor is wood then sweep, there are brooms and dust pans for you to use. If the floor is carpet, then use the vacuum.)

ALL GARBAGE IS HAULED OFF, IF A DUMPSTER IS AVAILABLE THEN PUT IN IT. (From May to October there will be dumpster on the property.) DO NOT LEAVE THE TRASH IN THE CABIN.

OUTSIDE AREAS CLEANED UP, THAT INCLUDES ANY BATHROOMS YOU MIGHT HAVE USED.

ANY ITEM NOT DONE WILL BE A $50.00 DEDUCTION FROM YOUR DEPOSIT

THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING! IT IS NICE TO SHARE MY PLACE WITH OTHERS.

I always said "Surround yourself with good people, make their lives better and make yours the same."

We all share this planet and space.

Cheers,

Jeff

About the host

Hosted by Jeffery Determan

Born a carpenter wanted to be a mechanic, ended up an electrician and now hospitality manager. :)

Where to start, hhmm, how time goes bye, Someone once told me, You know when you start this, you are going to have to deal with people. I told them, "No", people will have to deal with me, my place my rules".

Some of my favorite sayings,

1. Ignorance is Temporary, Attitude is forever

2. Forgiveness is the fragrance the flower left upon the foot that trampled it into the

ground.

3. Engage brain before opening mouth

I was born and raised in this area and still growing up. I look at these cabins as my babies and my guests my children. I have done my part now my children take care of my babies and together they take care of me. Sounds good coming from someone that was never a parent, I think that would be the dream of a parent. Having children that you know are respected by many for just being what they are, everyone involved with them know they will take care of you and you will take care of them.

This reminds me of my theory on working, Surround yourself with good people, they will take care of you and you will take care of them, which will make every ones life better.

A break down of my life, high school in Buena Vista, then the Marine Corp and volunteer for every thing that came up, overseas duty, jungle survival, etc. Once out of USMC, got into construction, houses, schools, power plants, Telluride Airport,pump stations,fresh water and waste water plants, etc. Then projects in Hawaii, Kuai, top of Mauna Kea, volcano national park, Kuai missile range, then Johnston Atoll Chemical burn facility, Adak , Alask, then Micronesia, Diego Garcia in the Indian ocean and much more.

Then on my own to Russia, Costa Rica, Belize, Jamaica, Colombia, Panama, etc.

A few years back, New Zealand, couch surf, hitch hike then rent a car, freedom camping, picking up all hitchhikers and taken them wherever they wanted to go.

Life is truly what you make it, ;) Jeff

Why they chose this property

Location, Location, Location

When I bought this place I saw the potential it had, just as I see in people.

Here is part of my past and another place I bought, 35 years ago

My Uncle drove out here and said I heard you bought this boy, I said, Yes. He asked what I was going to do with it. I told him fix this( My house) place up then that one(Cottontail) and rent it out then possibly that one(Rabbit Den or Lodge) and then that one(Thumper) and I am not sure about that one(Wild Hare). I said, What do you think or see, Chet? He said , you really want to know what I see. I said , Sure. He said, All I see is a lot of work. I chuckled and after 35 years still chuckling and working.

That is why I say I did my part , you do yours. I do not need no more work.

Opportunity brought this property, skills and attitude made it where it is, now it is up to everyone to keep it going.

I traveled around the planet working, came home and worked then left again to work. People say, you are so lucky going to Hawaii, I said yes 6 days a week 10 to 12 hours a day, well, life is what you put into it and you get out what you put in if everything goes good. The Filipinos once asked me, What is your favorite beer? I said , Free beer. So they laughed and said so free beer is your favorite? I said,, hhhmmm ,"No". They asked what is better than free beer? I said . "Cold , Free beer."

I like people with a good attitude in life so if I can bring them around me , even if I never meet them I know their good attitude and positive energy will part of this place.

Thank You all for reading my words , if you come here great, just know. I created this place or brought it back to life for all to enjoy and take care of, so it can take care of all of us, I did my part you do yours. Cheers "Semper Fi", "Pura Vida", "Aloha"

What makes this property unique

Meeting other people that wanted a place in the mountains to get away from the hussel and bussel of the city, someone with similar interests and the respect as you or not meeting anyone, just relax and do whatever you want. You have access to just about everything, high lakes, trails or bushwhacking, fishing, hot springs, or the creek. Get on your mountain bike or just do some real good day hikes or morning/evening hikes, explore the historic ghost town, where you can just think about what went on 100 plus years ago.

Once here you will do as you want, plans will change and the time will slip past , so keep that in mind. Make some plans but do whatever you want, go rock hounding, rafting, hike a mountain, set and stare, a drive to to the San Dunes, the near bye hot springs, go to the local pubs and art stores in near by Buena Vista or Salida or get a broom and brush of the spider weds or pick up branches, wash some windows, play some horse shoes, star gaze at night, go for a walk down by the river and just relax. Feed your wild side , roast some marshmallows, make smores, all good this is your home in the mountains, Enjoy
