About this property

Mountain Retreat! Vintage Creekside Cabin.

Enjoy a Rocky Mountain experience in this rustic, original 1958 cabin nestled in the woods. This location is a beautiful retreat for families and anyone wanting to enjoy the outdoors. Our cabin is located on Grimes Creek with almost an acre of serene forest and wonderful scenery.

Whether you are an outdoor enthusiast who likes to hike and bike or someone who enjoys the peaceful tranquility of fishing or reading a book by the stream, there are plenty of activities for the whole group. Vallecito Lake is about 1.5 miles down the road for many water activities including fishing, boating, water skiing, jet skiing, paddle boarding, and kayaking. There are also many hikes available in the surrounding National Forest, with one trailhead into the Wimanuche Wilderness within walking distance.

The cabin has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom is located on the main floor with two bedrooms located upstairs. The kitchen is well equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, toaster, stove and utensils. The dining room seats a large group and opens directly into the living room. The living room is furnished with 3 sofas, a leather reclining armchair and original fireplace.

From the living room you can see the front of the property looking out to pine trees or to the back of the property with a view of the stream. A sliding glass door opens directly to a wood deck from the living room. Enjoy the beautiful sounds of the stream as you relax on the deck. Also located in the back yard is a gas grill for your outdoor BBQ meals. There are plenty of lawn chairs, adironack chairs and a picnic table for your outdoor seating. As night falls, roast some marshmallows in the fire pit.

Our cabin is a peaceful retreat with excellent cell phone service if you need to connect to the rest of the world. A 40” TV is located in the living room with an Xbox for those rainy days. There are plenty of board games and books that have been collected over the years for everyone to enjoy. For those who want to play outdoor games, we have a volleyball/badminton court and horseshoes.
**Please note we do not have Wi-fi but we have a strong signal for a hot spot.

Great for families!
A lot of thought has gone into this property. There are so many things to do, any age will love it here! They even had bikes the right size for each of us. The only two things that weren’t up to expectation. I emailed the owner prior to going with a quick question but never got a response. The other was the trash has to be taken with you. The stores you can take your trash to closed by 7. We left early in the morning so ended up driving a trash bag 15 hours home with us.

Beautiful and quiet
We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was comfortable and the setting was great. The creek was absolutely our favorite from our girls playing in it to just listening and relaxing with a cup of coffee. Thank you for a great stay.

Excellent Stay!
We had an amazing time here! The volleyball court, badminton and horse shoes were a big hit with our kids. Loved the creek running behind and sitting out there in the morning with my coffee was my favorite part. The beds were comfortable and the cabin had everything we needed. I would definitely recommend this place.
