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.

This is the perfect little cabin for a small family getaway. The unique location and the amenities offered by the hosts made for a beautiful, quiet, family vacation. Easy hot springs access, BV, Salida close by for shopping or dining out. The cabin is nicely situated by the river and the skylights over the bed were gorgeous for stargazing. Would stay here again and again!

Second stay and will visit again

This is such a charming cabin. Very quiet and historical area. You can hear Chalk Creek passing by below and view, not only the natural landscape, but also the way the owners maintain the property with care and appeal.

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.

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. The location is so close to so many trails in the area. We would stay again for sure. Host were very accommodating and good with communication.

What makes this property unique
