Alpine Haven
Beautiful, peaceful mountain-air retreat! We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. It was the perfect location for our family of 4. Bob and Cynthia were amazing hosts. The hospitality of the entire community was top notch.

Loved the cabin and location
Had a great experience. We loved the cabin and the view and location to hiking trails and close enough to town for dinner. Plan on coming back to the area next year.

Perfect Little Cabin
My wife and I, our 3 small kids under the age of 4, and my brother-in law and his wife all comfortably stayed in this cozy cabin and bunk house. The cabin itself was great, fully stocked with all supplies, utensils, and even a few complimentary snack bars, oatmeal and a few small sacks of food to feed the chipmunks down the road where provided. We enjoyed seeing deer in the yard every day, sitting next to the fire at night (stargazing) and being in close proximity to so many things: swimming at the hot springs, catching trout at the local lakes, hiking, mnt biking and dinning in downtown Buena Vistia where there's plenty of great options. Our kids loved playing with the Lincoln Logs the owner provided and playing in the small stream that runs parallel to the home feeding into Caulk Creek. Bob, the owner, was a delight to work with. He was quick to respond to us and was professional in dealing with an incident that left a stain on his patio. (a citronella candle melted in the sun and leaked wax). Also, we followed all the cleaning procedures but shortly after leaving the cleaner emailed us citing that we destroyed the home and that we would be losing our deposit. We believe it was an over-reaction to the candle as Bob quickly got involved and called us to confirm that nothing was destroyed, the candle was an unintentional accident, and he made sure we got our full deposit back. We will always remember the great experiences and memories made with our family on this trip.

About the host

Hosted by Bob Swift

Host profile image
Bob is a 3rd Generation Colorado Native and grew up camping, jeeping and fishing in this Canyon with family and friends as a boy.
Bob and Cynthia met at a summer camp in this Canyon 30+ years ago dreaming one day of being surrounded by the majesty and beauty of this area. This is a dream come true and hope you find your visit to their mountain cabin one where fun, laughter and memories are made.

Why they chose this property

ATV, Bike ,Snowmobile and Hiking trail choices start as you first step out the door!
The Chalk Creek runs just outside the front door across the road. The cabin is tucked in a mature Aspen/Pine grove that displays stunning color and views from every window. A short hike on the back road takes you along Alpine Lake (privately owned) where Rocky Mountain Sheep, Deer and Moose are often seen or the other way heading up Grouse Creek Trail pass the Alpine Lending Library and the historic Alpine Cemetery.
A short drive will take you to the Ghost Town of St. Elmo where you can feed the Chipmunks, or down the Canyon to enjoy the Mt Princeton Hot Springs. Late night meteor gazing in August is a must from the Hot Springs pool!

What makes this property unique

Just steps away from fishing, hiking, ATV rides, and a short drive to Mt. Princeton, or walk/ride to St. Elmo - ghost town. Feed the chipmunks, take in the sites, shop and relax among the kind mountain people.
