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.

Perfect Fall Getaway

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!

Cozy and clean, great location!

My only comment would be that I wish the listing said to bring your own fire wood for both the outdoor and indoor fireplace. Other than that it was a great clean well stocked place, and I would stay again!

This rental is exactly as described and promised. The house is warm, comfortable, inviting and kept very well. We stayed in the winter but cannot wait to get back here and stay in the summer because of that beautiful deck. The setting is peaceful, the kitchen is very well stocked, and our family of four enjoyed every minute of all three nights we spent here. A real gem.

Charming Cabin in a peaceful setting.

We loved the cabin and the setting! Hearing the creek at night was very peaceful. We had everything we needed in the cabin. We had dinner a couple of night at the cabin. I do suggest getting needed items in Buena Vista before checking in. My only thing I wish was a little better was the WiFi. Our cell phones did not work but we could use the land line in the cabin. But in a way, it was good we didn't have our cell phones to distract from the beauty around us. Overall, we loved it! We hope to return!

The best stay in the mountains!! This cabin was just perfect for our weeks stay. Very close to many hiking and jeep trails. We stay in this area a lot but this was our first time to stay in this cabin. Such a peaceful setting and it offers everything you could need for a family getaway. We definitely hope to stay here again-it was everything you would want in a mountain getaway.

We had the most amazing and peaceful time at this cabin by the creek. Katie and Curt were wonderful host. It’s an exceptional time when you arrive strangers but leave as friends. The cabin was clean, comfortable and cozy. It’s close enough to the town of Buena Vista but far enough away from the hustle and bustle of traffic and noise. It’s everything that is described and more. I think I found my sanity and my home away from home when I visit the area. Love this place and we will be back for more adventures!! The cherry on top was the skylight in the master bedroom where we were able to see the stars at night.

Bliss!

Our stay was nothing short of perfect. Katie and Curt greeted us when we arrived and they were gracious hosts. The cabin was immaculate. The kitchen was spacious, the beds were cozy and the shower was great! We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace 2 nights and had fun making smores. It's a short walk to a beautiful creek. We enjoyed listening to the sounds of the water when we had our morning coffee. The last morning of our stay we were visited by a mama deer and her fawn. The location is remote, which was perfect for us. I recommend coming to the cabin with your supplies, as it's a bit of a drive to get to a store and as soon as you arrive you just want to unplug and relax in the gorgeous surroundings.

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!

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.

Quiet and Secluded Cabin

Spent 4 nights in mid-August and thoroughly enjoyed it! Katie is a gracious host, answering questions before arrival and greeting us with a quick overview when we checked in. She and her husband Curt live in the house next door, but you would never know it. Nice to know they are close by in case something is needed. The cabin is fully equipped, from the kitchen, living room, bedroom, bathroom and outdoors. Wi-Fi is fantastic, as no cell service was noted by us. Enjoyed a doe and her two fawns each evening around happy hour. Chalk Creek borders the back of the property and is very soothing. Don't miss the nearby ghost town of St. Elmo or a leisurely hike along the Railroad Trail (starts just east of the Cascade Campground). If you like picnics, the Iron City Campground (St. Elmo) has nicely shaded tables along Chalk Creek. We definitely recommend this property!

Quiet Mountain Cabin

We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin in Nona's Woods! The rustic cabin is exactly what we were looking for and it was all we hoped it would be...and then some. It was quiet, close to the Chalk Creek, deep in the woods, lots of stars, cool temperatures at the Cabin's elevation. No light pollution at night so you can really get a great view of the stars and the Milkey Way. Many great hiking trails within the forest near the cabin plus a short drive to a historic mountain ghost town. We brought a lot of food with us and had most meals at the cabin which was great for our family of four adults. The outdoor grill came in very handy. Our hosts were gracious, helpful, and kind. They were close when needed but gave us the space we needed to feel like we were home in their cabin! I can't say enough good things about our stay and experiences. I miss being there already. We will be back!
