About this property
Sweet Log Cabin on the banks of Chalk Creek
This mountain retreat has a master bedroom with a king bed, a sunroom with a queen bed and a queen pull-out couch, and a queen pull-out couch in the living room.
The space
This old time log cabin has an open design with a great room which shares a large kitchen and provides room to spread out for dining, games or relaxing. A sun-room that overlooks Chalk Creek. Stoke up the wood stove and have a cup of cocoa in the colder months. Sit outside in summer and enjoy the sounds of the creek and gaze at the stars above. Unplug and enjoy the mountains!!
Guest access
The entire cabin is yours to enjoy upon rental.
Other things to note:
The cabin base price is for 2 guests, 4 max guests. There is an extra fee of $25 per night per pet and an extra guest fee of $25 per guest per night for over 2 guests.
PET POLICY:
Limit: 2 Dogs, Pet fees are $25 each per night. Make sure you verify all guests and pets before your arrival.
All pets must be kept on a leash at all times while on the property.
Please clean up after your pets, scoop that poop, and take the hair with you. Pets may not be left unattended inside the cabin! Please remember your pet is in a strange place, it's scary and they may act differently than they do at home. Remember you brought your dog here to be on a vacation not locked up or tied to a tree. If you can’t abide by these pet rules maybe it would be best to kennel your pet and you both get a vacation!?
The cabin is located about 15-20 miles from Salida or Buena Vista, Colorado, providing a perfect home base for all of your Colorado adventures! You are located in San Isabel National Forest which contains 19 of the state's 54 fourteeners.
In the warmer months go white water rafting, zip lining, fly fishing on one of the many lakes, rivers or creeks. Try kayaking, bicycling, horseback riding, hiking, or 4-wheeling on the many scenic trails. The winter brings fantastic skiing or snowboarding at Monarch Ski Resort - just 40 minutes away. Snowshoe or soak in Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, no matter which season it is it is always fun and/or relaxing, your choice. You can fish in the Chalk Creek just at the rear of the property or try the Arkansas River just down the road. Hike the Colorado Trail, Browns Canyon or Agnes Valles Falls, there are several trails nearby. St. Elmo, a historic Ghost Town, is just a few miles west of the property, the kids will love feeding the chipmunks or watching the hummingbirds feed from the well-stocked feeders!
Policies:
- No smoking inside the house
- Dogs allowed, a two dog limit upon approval and not to be left in the cabin unattended
- per county permit number 008916 No events, parties or large gatherings, only 4 registered guests at the cabin
