About this property

Fabulous Scenic Mountain Home - Sleeps 10!

Welcome to Mt. Ralphmore!

Absolutely the best in every way...location, scenic views & price. This mountain retreat is built in the Heart of the Colorado Rockies(more 14,000' mountains here than anywhere else in North America), breath-taking mountain views in every direction, best view of the famous Chalk Cliffs.

Overlooks & constructed on the banks of the beautiful Chalk Creek w/ floor to ceiling windows.. Enjoy the beauty (magnificent) & sounds of nature (bubbling creek below), watch the wildlife (deer, elk, fox) fish, hike or sit out on the 40' plus wrap around porch. The large screened in porch is great for outdoor eating and relaxing as well.

This is a warm & wonderfully built cabin w/ all the comforts & amenities (maybe more) of home. With 3 full baths and 6 separate vanities, everyone gets accommodated.

Mt. Ralphmore is located just 15 min. & 23 min. respectively from the historic towns of Buena Vista & Salida, where charm, dining, shopping & galleries abound!

The San Isabel National Forest, St. Elmo (famous ghost town & great place to feed the chipmunks or rent jeeps/snowmobiles), Mt Princeton Hot Springs (Colorado's #1 hot springs)& the Arkansas River (great rafting or fly fishing) are all right here.

Monarch, Ski Cooper & Copper Ski Resorts are all 45-60 min. away, as is Leadville (lots of history there). Breckenridge is just a bit over an hour & Vail is 1 hr. & 30 min. Located 90 miles from Colorado Springs, flying in & out is easy.

Plenty of activities to enjoy year round. The best place to take a family, take a friend, take a break & take a vacation!

The house was roomy and the views beautiful. We especially enjoyed the new sitting area by stream

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy

Check in was super easy. Lots of bedrooms to sleep our 9 people. Beds were comfortable enough. Games and movies were available, but we had brought our own. Fire pit was nice to sit around and being right next to the river was very beautiful! Plenty of pots and pans and sets of dishes.

Great house that can accommodate a large group. Very homey with great views of Chalk Mountains and Chalk Creek. Kitchen has almost everything one needs but would suggest adding cloth napkins and having soap and more TP in bathrooms. Other than that it was well stocked and we greatly appreciated having refrigerator and dry good basics on hand. Highly recommend the property.

Perfect mountain cabin

Our second time!

We loved this cabin the first time so much that we came back! It was just as clean and beautiful as ever! The cabin was equipped with everything we need. There were many games, toys, and cards for the kids and we loved the new fire pit!! The view is amazing and we would HIGHLY recommend this property!

Family vacation

The cabin was well kept, spacious, and well stocked. The location was private but close to many activities. We loved the fire pit when it wasn't raining. My son-in-law is a gourmet chef and found the kitchen very well set up for his creations. The kids loved the hikes, St Elmo, horseback riding, and the wildlife.

Perfect cabin get-away in Buena Vista area

This the perfect place for a family vacation in the middle of the beautiful Collegiate peaks. The cabin was wonderful for large gatherings. We comfortably slept 9 adults with room for more. It was very clean and right in the middle of fishing, white water rafting, hiking trails and very close to snow skiing. We couldn’t have asked for a better place. The owner was so responsive with ideas for groceries, restaurants and hiking trails. We had a wonderful time.

Lovely property.. well stocked kitchen and beautiful location. Lots of activities in the area. The listing was a little misleading in the sense they said under amenities ….air conditioning… but only fresh mountain air; which was one reason we rented because of allergies.

Sweet stay

This cabin is beautiful and well stocked. The bed arrangements weren’t great for our group (3 twins in one room and a double in a loft with no door), but we knew that when we booked it. Elizabeth was quick to reply to our questions and very helpful. The location along the creek is dreamy as is the screened in porch and games for kids. Some of the furniture is tired but overall a very cozy stay in a beautiful location. It feels like a home, not just a rental. Thanks for a great stay!

Great home, great location, photos do not do it justice.

The home is spotless. Amenities are exactly as described. The stream out back is perfect. Closer to Buena Vista, but also close to Salida. Great location for visiting Great Sand Dunes and Black Canyon NPs, hikes, rent a Jeep and visit Tin Cup pass. Elizabeth is great to work with. The internet is unfortunately slow, and only Verizon cellular reaches the site, so know this and you won't be disappointed.

Only thing I didn't like was leaving!

Beautiful, well maintained and well furnished home with great views and a peaceful relaxing atmosphere. Enjoyed feeding all the birds from the porch railing and seeing the deer come up to the yard every day. Close to fun little towns and shopping. I really liked seeing the Elk and Antelope herds in the large pastures near Nathrop. We cooked a full Thanksgiving dinner in the large kitchen and grilled steaks on the outdoor grill. The fire pit by the running creek was a great place to smoke a good cigar and chill. After 10 days, none of us wanted to leave. We're ready to go back and do it again. Thanks Elizabeth

Spectacular!

We pulled up the drive to the Cabin and were so excited from the view and couldn't wait to get inside. The excitement just followed us as we stepped into the cabin and explored our stay for the next two nights. It was wonderful. The views were spectacular. The Cabin was perfect for our little brood. We were here for our daughter's wedding in Twin Lakes and tried to talk her into getting married at the cabin (due to the temp at Twin Lakes). We didn't have any luck changing the venue but the views by the river would have been just a beautiful place to have a small intimate wedding. Thank you for opening your home to us. We will definitely be renting this cabin again.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth Baker

Growing up in Dallas with 10 siblings prepared me for serving others and creating special moments to share. Being in real estate for 25 yrs further equipped me with the needs and wants folks desire in a home or an investment or even a getaway. Raising four children and having 12+ grandkids and counting, provides me with an solid view of how best to provide a welcoming environment for all.

Why they chose this property

Mt. Ralphmore is a fabulous place to relax and get away from everyday stresses. The access to nature can reenergize one's spirit. Gathering around the firepit down by the creek creates a wonderful atmosphere for deeper bonding and lots of shared fun story telling. It is also very well maintained and clean : )

What makes this property unique

The best home in the area w/ the finest views. A very warm inviting home that sits on three+ acres overlooking Chalk Creek, the Chalk Cliffs, Mt Princeton & Mt Antero. Hearing the bubbling of the creek or viewing the Chalk Cliffs at sunrise, walking down Bunny Lane or driving up to St. Elmo, memories for a lifetime will be made.
