This charming 1940's log cabin has been completely updated with high-end amenities, creating the perfect balance of rustic luxury. Located on 5 acres adjacent to Carson National Forest, the cabin backs up to a beautiful mountain wall and river running right off the back deck (dries up in Oct-Jan). Just 10 minutes to the plaza, you’ll be close enough to enjoy the action of town, but far enough way to escape people and immerse yourself in nature. Lots of great hiking trails just minutes away!
The space Cook a gourmet meal in the state-of-the-art kitchen with Miele appliances, or grill out on the deck using the gas grill. Relax in the hammock under the trees or on the outdoor sofa on the back deck. Work from the desk overlooking the river, using the high-speed internet. At night, sit around the fire pit and roast marsh mellows, soak in the hot tub under the stars or curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book or movie on the big screen TV.
Other things to note Four wheel drive vehicles during January, February and March may make mobility better. Roads are cleared but a minimum of front wheel drive is recommended. This is a log cabin in the Carson Forrest and 10 minutes from down town. It’s a very unique property that requires patience and the love of nature and the outdoors.

To sum up this stay in one word...magical! We very much enjoyed the privacy and pure beauty of this property. A little slice of heaven!Joseph and Megan are incredible hosts who made sure all basic and essential needs were provided for. Detailed instructions are availble so no guessing on how things operate. Very much appreciated all the tips!Our favorite things include sitting by the living room fire place which kept us warm and cozy. Eating breakfast at the kitchen island taking in the views. As well as sitting in the hot tub enjoying a nice soak while being surrounded by beautiful pines and aspens. The sound of the creek running in the background was icing on the cake. This place is perfect for a couple who is looking to disconnect from the world and relax in peace. We gladly recommend this propety. We travel every chance we get and this place quickly made our top favorite places to visit. Would stay again!
We are a psychologist and executive coach husband and wife duo, with a passion for travel, real estate, and design. We love finding special properties in locations we would like to live part-time, then renovate and transform those properties into spectacular homes. We rotate around living in various places, and open up our houses to rent out when we aren't there. We love sharing our homes with other travelers, and hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
It's far enough from town to escape people and be surrounded by nature, and yet only 10 minutes to the plaza.
What makes this property unique
The property is bordered by a beautiful mountain wall and river running right off the back deck. Elk come down to drink from the river almost every night! The stars from the hot tub at night are incredible. The cabin is so cozy, and yet updated with high end design and amenities making it the perfect balance of rustic luxury.
