About this property

Creek & Mnt View • Saltwater Hot Tub • Cozy Fire • Quiet 4 ac

Quiet 2,350 sq.ft. custom-built cabin on 4 acres with creek frontage. Buena Vista and Salida are 12 miles away, and the drive is gorgeous!

EnSuite Master Bedroom: King Bed | Bedroom 2: King | Bedroom 3: Queen

THE PROPERTY
This Colorado mountain home offers stunning views of Mount Antero, frontage on Brown’s Creek, a mosaic of Ponderosa pines and Aspen groves, and open meadows of native wildflowers.

This 2,350 square-foot home has gorgeous post & beam construction with overload of windows and skylights. Custom-crafted, quintessential and uniquely Colorado! The whitewash beams contrast beautifully with dark hardwood floors. Vaulted ceilings and a balcony give it a light & bright feel, while thoughtful room partitioning makes for living spaces that flow nicely together.

Enjoy the ease of a fully furnished home. The kitchen and dining room are stocked to accommodate whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner, grilling on the deck, or just taking a picnic to-go. And it’s ok to get dirty while having fun, the stocked laundry room will make cleanup easy.

You won’t want to miss the mountain views while enjoying the 1,000 square feet of patio space, or walking the trails down to the creek to find a dreamy spot to hang a hammock. Throw some horseshoes in the pit or have some playtime in the tree fort! There’s no doubt that you’ll want to make the most of these outdoor spaces. At night, you’ll experience a jaw-dropping dark sky with stunning stars, with just the sound of the creek and maybe a few hoot owls to break the quiet.

Three beautifully-appointed bedrooms await for a peaceful night’s slumber! The master bedroom features an en-suite bath, making it your private oasis. You’ll wake feeling refreshed and ready for the next adventure!

THE LOCATION
This home is situated between Buena Vista and Salida - two of Colorado’s premier outdoor adventure mountain towns! Check out Buena Vista’s microbrews and distilleries, trendy food trucks, outdoor equipment shops and river play. Head to Salida (the heart of Colorado) to enjoy the Art District, fine wine & food, and evening music on the Arkansas River. Only 12 miles to each town, this property is the perfect home base.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be thrilled to find mountain trails just 2 miles from the home, ranging from short destination hikes to 14’er treks! The entire Collegiate Range is right here at your fingertips.

The Arkansas River has activities for everyone, including fly-fishing, white water rafting, SUP’ing, or just a leisure-river float and picnic. The local guides and rental shops can equip your next adventure, or if you come with gear the property has plenty of space at this property to accommodate.

Hit the slopes at Monarch Mountain, the perfect getaway for skiers and riders looking to avoid the crowds of the I-70 mega-resorts. Located 30 miles away, this resort features amazing tree skiing, wide open alpine bowls and long intermediate trails.

After a day on the trails, plan a trip to Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort (6 miles away) for a day of swimming with the kids or take a relaxing spa day and soak in the geothermal water’s of Colorado.

ADDITIONAL DETAILS
Rental includes the house and exclusive use of the outdoor areas (deck, creek, hot tub, fort, trails). It does not include the garage or studio above the garage. Owner may occupy/access these areas.

This mountain home was perfect in every possible way. The attention to detail in both design and functionality made for luxurious escape from the woes of the world. Starting with the planning stage to finishing up our check out communication with the owner could not have been better. She anticipated every desire, ranging from pellets to feed the potbelly stove to fresh coffee beans to be ground for a French pressed coffee. Thank you Ms. Chanda for sharing your beautiful home with my wife and I, we will forever be grateful and Monarch Mountain will always hold a special place in our hearts.

About the host

Hosted by Chanda Pettie

Host profile image
I'm a wildlife biologist that's been fortunate to have settled in the heart of Colorado. You will find that the house is infused with things that would make a nature-lover happy.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with this home before I even stepped inside. The drive through Mesa Antero is all mountain views, winding roads and beautiful homes. The home is set-back and nearly unseen from the road, and the drive through the property is towered by majestic, old Ponderosa pines that opens-up to let the sun shine on this beautifully built home. All you hear is the creek and the birds.
I can't wait to come home, and now I can't wait to share this with you!
