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.
