About this space
This mountain retreat with a master bedroom with a king bed, a sunroom with a queen bed and a queen pull-out couch, a loft with two double bed, and a queen pull-out couch in the great room.

The space
This old time log cabin has an open design with a great room which shares a large kitchen and provides room to spread out for dining, games or relaxing. A loft area above and a sun-room that overlooks Chalk Creek. Stoke up the wood stove and have a cup of cocoa in the colder months. Sit outside in summer and enjoy the sounds of the creek and gaze at the stars above. We would love for you to stay with us, to unplug and enjoy the mountains!!

Please clean up after your pets, scoop that poop, and take the hair with you. Pets may not be left unattended inside the cabin! Pet owners who leave their pets unattended inside the cabin will be charged for damages and forfeit your deposit. Please remember your pet is in a strange place, it's scary and they may act differently than they do at home. Remember you brought your dog here to be on a vacation not locked up or tied to a tree.

The cabin is located about 15-20 miles from Salida or Buena Vista, Colorado, providing a perfect home base for all of your Colorado adventures! You are located in San Isabel National Forest which contains 19 of the state's 54 fourteeners.
In the warmer months go white water rafting, zip lining, fly fishing on one of the many lakes, rivers or creeks. Try kayaking, bicycling, horseback riding, hiking, or 4-wheeling on the many scenic trails. The winter brings fantastic skiing or snowboarding at Monarch Ski Resort - just 40 minutes away. Take a sled ride at monarch dog sled rides.com, snowshoe or soak in Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, no matter which season it is it is always fun and/or relaxing, your choice. You can fish in the Chalk Creek just at the rear of the property or try the Arkansas River just down the road. Hike the Colorado Trail, Browns Canyon or Agnes Valles Falls, there are several trails nearby. St. Elmo, a historic Ghost Town, is just a few miles west of the property, the kids will love feeding the chipmunks or watching the hummingbirds feed from the well-stocked feeders!

Authentic and peaceful cabin.
This beautiful cabin was so homey and comfortable, I really didn’t want to leave. The location was amazing. Everywhere you looked You were surrounded by mother nature’s beauty. There’s a very special and mystical vibe to Chalk Creek Cliffs.

Overpriced for what we got
The cabin is in a lovely spot, right on a stream. However, there is no easy access to the stream from the cabin. In addition, although there is a patio overlooking the stream, to get to that patio you have to walk out the front door and then walk around through the grass. There is no direct way from the house. We did get permission to open up the fenced-in pet area so we could walk out the side door and to the patio. For the price the cabin seems shabby -- several blinds are broken, the ceiling fan doesn't work and the carpet is dirty. The kitchen is not well stocked so cooking is difficult. But the worse thing is that there is no dishwasher. You are at the mercy of the questionable dish-washing habits of the previous renters. I found several dirty and oily forks and knives put away in the drawer. If I were a germ-a-phobe I would have FREAKED out! All of this would be expected if we had rented a low-end cabin, but for the price we would expect more. All in all, I would say there are many cabins for rent in Colorado. I wouldn't pick this one again.
