Are you someone who appreciates and wants to show others the beauty and tranquility of this amazing, relaxing piece of heaven? Do you love the sound of a stream from any open window in the house? Come stay in our quiet, clean getaway! We LOVE it and know you (and your children or grandchildren) will too.

It is a 1200 square feet retreat, and has been detailed to make your stay comfortable and memorable.

The house itself has two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a living room with two futons -- all totaling two queen sized beds, two full sized beds, and two twin beds. The kitchen is fully equipped for any meal, fresh ground coffee, an apres ski treat, or family barbeque. The kitchen table sits six, with room for three more at the breakfast bar. The house sits on more than an acre, which lends itself to short or long walks, enjoying both the stream (which runs year round, and is just yards from the house) and the pond, smelling the fresh mountain air, sitting outside and reading a book -- or doing some artwork!

The nearby town of Salida boasts many activities: art galleries galore, indoor hot springs pool, bowling, hatchery, lakes, biking, hiking, fly fishing, white water rafting, winery, live theatre, dining, pubs, summer and holiday events, horseback riding, go-kart riding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling . . . . Do all of that -- and then -- come back to our hideaway and watch wildlife, walk around the pond, have a glass of wine by the stream, play horseshoes or badmitten, read a book, take some pictures, see a movie, cook a feast, listen to music, and sleep to the sound of the Cherry Creek right outside your window. We have books, movies, satellite TV, DVD and VCR capacity.

This is a year-round playground! Summer hikes, winter moonlight snowshoeing (snowshoes provided for three), mushroom hunts, and fall color photography. There is never a bad time to visit.

For parents and grandparents: Know that there are books, toys and games, a pack-n-play with crib sheets, bathroom step stool, and booster seat for a little one!

Please feel free to ask for more photos or details!

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2001

Grant and Tanya are thrilled to be in Colorado! We live in the Denver area, and love bringing our two small children up to the cabin for weekend getaways. We use the cabin whenever we get a chance, but we also enjoy sharing it with other families!

Why the Owner Chose Salida

We found out about the Salida area when Grant started working at the hospital there. He came home and announced to Tanya that she would love it there, and sure enough, on their first visit there together, we made an offer on the cabin. Here we are, eight years later, and we still think of this little house in the woods as one of our favorite places on earth.

The Unique Benefits of this Cabin

One of the best things about this cabin is the water! The stream and the sound of running water is truly relaxing. The house is clean, comfortable, and perfectly located for the many activities the Salida area has to offer. It is perfect for a family, an adventurer, an artist, or a reader. Salida is a slice of heaven, and we know anyone who spends any time there would agree!

    • We enjoyed your beautiful cabin tremendously! My two daughters (7 & 12) loved playing by the river, feeding the fish, going on hikes and soaking in the hot tub! You have everything in your cabin to make for a relaxing gettaway. It was clean, organized and comfortable. We can't wait to get back again! Thank you!

    • The cabin is very well equipped with a great kitchen and very clean. The setting is tranquil and relaxing by the stream. Salida is a great town with wonderful art galleries and close to several hot springs. We liked Cottonwood Hot Springs the best.

    • Our family enjoyed a quiet and peaceful weekend at Kriss cabin. Our kids ages 11 and 15 enjoyed the stream and loved the hot tub. We enjoyed the sound of the stream from all parts of the cabin. The kitchen is well stocked with anything you might need to make a great meal. Very clean and comfortable for a weekend get away.

    • We had a great time staying at the cabin. The cool breeze, stream, and hot tub made it very relaxing. It was also very well stocked with everything we needed and we appreciated how clean the cabin is. We have already talked about going back for a ski getaway this winter.

    • We had the most peaceful, relaxing six nights in this wonderful house at the end of the road in the woods. Without having to get into our car we were able to take long hikes in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, pick wild raspberries, and listen to the ever-running stream. It is is also within driving distance of many interesting hiking and climbing routes: one day we climbed Mt. Yale. We hope to return and stay even longer.

    • We had the most wonderful weekend at this cabin with our three little boys. Everything that it says on the website is true...and more! This quaint retreat is so tastefully decorated, clean, stocked with amenities, organized and perfect for kids, families or couples. We will definitely be bringing our children back to this little slice of heaven outside of Salida. Thank you!

      Just wanted to tell you and we had a wonderful stay in your lovely cabin. What a perfect setting with the creek on one side and the pond on the other. I like the paint colors and decorative items you've chosen. Also enjoyed the various artwork. We appreciated it being very clean and well-organized. Thanks again for sharing your home retreat.
