Rushing Creek w/Mountain Views! Perfect Cabin for Family/Couples Getaways!

Rushing Creek, Mountain Views Make Cabin a Perfect Vacation Getaway.
Enjoy the best of both worlds----the peaks of the Continental Divide and the rushing waters of Brown's Creek. You get spectacular mountain views from our upper and lower decks. Plus, enjoy our creek with firepit seating, patio, picnic table and hammock. Wireless even extends to the creek. Enjoy all from the comfort of a private cozy cabin set on three acres of meadow and aspens, spruce and cottonwoods.

And now we have high-speed internet for streaming entertainment.

For outdoor enthusiasts, we're in hiking/rafting/biking country. We're 1 mile east of the Colorado Trail trailhead, and just 3 miles up creek from the Arkansas River where it has carved out historic Brown's Canyon National Monument.

This well-appointed home has all the amenities. It was furnished with a family in mind, but is equally comfortable for a couples’ getaway. The charming décor is rustic with a touch of retro.

The homey living room has a river-rock fireplace, comfy couch, club chairs with ottomans and an electric recliner. Two six-foot windows face the mountains. The living room also has Roku, DVD player, plenty of books, and a collection of board games and jigsaw puzzles.

The kitchen is fully furnished with two sets of dishes, pots and pans, bakeware, mixer, crock pots, rice cooker, blender, electric griddle and more. The kitchen window above the sink looks onto the creek and aspen. Next to another six-foot window is a pine dining table which seats eight, and comes with placemats and bandana napkins. Right off the kitchen is a full-sized washer and dryer. All linens are furnished, including beach towels for water activities.

The large upstairs master is 20’ x 20’ and has a vaulted ceiling and king-sized bed. The room also has a ceiling fan and a sliding glass door which leads onto a deck with bench-seating and mountain views. The decorative (non-working) fireplace is set with candles for a romantic escape. At the top of the stairs is a full bathroom. Towels are provided of course.

The main floor has a full bath (tub/shower).

The main floor features a wrap-around deck with a gas grill and a patio table with umbrella overlooking the creek. On the mountain side is a bench glider and side table, perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun dips behind the Continental Divide. Step off the deck into the aspen shade for the picnic table, fire pit, hammock and Adirondack benches by the creek.

The area borders millions of acres of National Forest wilderness for hiking. The cabin is just minutes from the best rafting in the west, fly fishing, mineral hot springs, trail rides and golf. Visit the nearby ghost town of St. Elmo and feed chipmunks. Rent a jeep or ATVs in Buena Vista or Salida.

Sample both mountain towns of Salida and Buena Vista—the cabin is exactly between these Arkansas River tourist getaways---just a 15 minute drive in either direction. Enjoy the many restaurants, including the Boathouse Cantina and High Side Restaurant, where you can sip a drink and watch kayakers on the Arkansas River. Amicas microbrewery offers wood-fired pizza and salads. Currents restaurant has good food and live music many evenings. Afterwards, stroll along the river and browse the numerous art galleries and shops.

Plan your own getaway, or we can provide you with links to area activities and attractions.

High School Graduation Vacation
Our family had a great time. We loved the secluded cabin and the access to Buena Vista and Salida. Going to bed with the windows open and falling asleep to the sounds of Browns Creek was awesome. Rick is a wonderful host. Very flexible and easy to reach if needed. We were blessed to find one of the coolest places in Colorado to make memories with our daughters!

perfect for us
The cabin was cozy, comfortable and had all we needed. We could tell how much the owners treasure their mountain place. We enjoyed sitting by the stream and hearing it during the night. The location worked well for our activities of hiking and being in nature. If we needed to access a town, Buena Vista and Salida were within reach.

Delightful, cozy mountain cabin along stream
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cabin tucked in at the base of mount Antero but convenient to local towns of Buena Vista & Salida. We acclimated here in preparation for a longer stay at altitude and enjoyed hikes, fishing high country lakes, and floated the Arkansas. Great amenities and communication with host.

Perfect Cabin for relaxing
We stayed at this cabin to get away from the city for a few days. It did not disappoint! The creek and the firepit were the our highlights! We drove up to St. Elmo, hiked and went to Cache Creek to find gold. Its the perfect cabin to getaway and relax. We will be definbe back.

We had the BEST time in this beautiful, secluded spot. Rick and Jenny were gracious, helpful, communicative, and just made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. The cabin was just what we were hoping for - a beautiful, quaint, clean spot for our family to relax amidst the mountains.

Mountain cabin in aspen grove
This cabin was perfect for our stay in the mountains. It is nestled in aspens with views of mountains and a meadow. The creek is within steps of the house and lovely to look at and listen to. It’s a great fishing spot but don’t tell anyone! The house is not a rustic cabin but a comfy home with everything you need for preparing meals. It’s easy to get to town, to hot springs and to hiking trails but we didn’t really want to leave the cabin!

Nothing short of excellent
Communication with property manager was excellent. The house is well described as pictured. House was well cleaned and sanitary. The kitchen was equiped well for cooking and even some storage of leftovers. The organization there was very welcomed. The beds are comfortable and the master has a warming matress on it which my wife loved. Any window or door opened and you could hear the river which was amazing and relaxing. Mule deer were present throughout the neighbor hood. The fire pit adjacent to the river are the icing on the cake. This is an excellent place to retreat and relax. 5 stars definitely. We plan on returning

Perfect Mountain Retreat
This was our 2nd time to stay at this amazing house! That should speak volumes to most VRBO renters. It truly is the perfect location…halfway between Salida and Buena Vista (~20 minutes to each), views of the snow capped mountains, and situated on a beautiful creek! The house is equipped with everything you need to cook and relax! An added bonus is the bed heater in the master! Don’t worry, if your partner doesn’t want warm toes, they control their side. We loved sitting on the back patio, listening to the creek every morning and evening! We enjoyed a little fire by the creek one night…I suggest making s’mores! Rick is fabulous to work with, quick to respond to any question. You will not be staying in a generic, sterile condo…if that’s what you want, go to a hotel. This is a mountain home that is loved by the owners and renters…full of character and mountain charm! We have stayed here in the past when our kids were younger, but this was an empty-nester getaway! It’s the perfect location, with the best mountain amenities possible! When you think of a perfect Colorado mountain getaway…this place checks every box!

Another perfect vacation
It was our 2nd time staying in the cabin and, once again, it was great from start to finish. The early winter weather was crisp and a little snowy which is just what we wanted. The cabin is comfortable and homey and just so easy to settle into. After spending our days out and about and doing lots of hiking, it was nice to come home, build a fire and just enjoy the comfy living room and the spectacular mountain views. The cabin has everything you could want or need and the owner is kind, pleasant and so easy to communicate with. Rick, thanks so much for sharing your cabin. We're already thinking about when to plan our next trip!
