About this House

Escape to a Colorado mountain retreat that feels a million miles away from everyday life without giving up the comforts of home.

Cross your private footbridge and arrive at a charming creekside cabin nestled among towering pines, with a spring-fed stream flowing year-round through the property. The soothing sound of the creek can be heard throughout much of the property, creating a peaceful mountain setting from the moment you arrive.

One of the cabin's most inviting features is its expansive wraparound deck. Spend your evenings gathered around the outdoor chiminea enjoying a crackling fire beneath the stars, relaxing in the hot tub overlooking the creek, or taking in the mountain air from one of the many outdoor seating areas. For the adventurous, enjoy a cold plunge in the stream, then rinse off in the outdoor hot-water shower.

Inside, the cabin is warm, cozy, and filled with character, including unique antique furnishings and a wood-burning stove that creates the perfect atmosphere for snowy winter weekends or relaxing after a day on the trails.

The main level features two queen bunk beds, while the loft offers two additional beds. Beautiful stained-glass doors open onto a private upper deck, creating the perfect spot for stargazing, morning coffee, watching wildlife, or simply listening to the creek below.

A separate cozy guest cottage provides additional sleeping space and a private retreat for visitors, making the property ideal for hosting family and friends.

Despite the secluded mountain setting, you'll stay connected with lightning-fast Starlink internet—perfect for remote work, streaming, or keeping in touch while feeling a million miles away from your troubles.

Outdoor recreation is right outside your door. A popular trailhead less than a quarter mile away provides access to miles of hiking, including routes extending nearly 30 miles toward Mount Blue Sky. Fishing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, and skiing are all nearby.

Located approximately 15 minutes from Bailey, less than an hour from Denver, about 45 minutes from Red Rocks, and roughly an hour from Breckenridge.

Fully furnished and turnkey, this unique property offers the rare combination of privacy, adventure, character, and modern convenience. Whether you're looking for a family mountain retreat, a weekend escape, or an investment property, this cabin has a proven history of generating short-term rental income when you're not enjoying it yourself.

Wake up to the sound of the creek, spend the day exploring the mountains, soak in the hot tub beneath the stars, and end the evening beside a fire. Properties like this rarely come available and are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

    "It’s not too bad. Summer Fridays is usually pretty busy going up the hill with all the campers and Sunday mornings is crazy with campers heading home. "

    "Dog owners should love this area. So many hiking areas. Lots of dogs. Parks recreation areas and dog friendly people. The wildlife can be of serious concern to dog owners so it’s a place to be on constant guard of your pets. Mountain Lions, Bear and coyote have all been seen in the area. There does not seem to be any cats here. Just dogs. Probably best that small dogs be watched at a high level. "

    "Great area for work at home people, also a opportunity for mechanic, cabinet maker or any one who wants privacy and a bif insulated shop to make a living and only have a 100 ft commute. The roads are maintained all year so when you do need to get into town there is no problems. If you are into hiking, biking, wildlife or just peace and quiet all you have to do is walk out your front door. the community has three stocked fishing lakes and a community center with a park for the little ones.
