About this property

Mountain views, walk to National Forest, close to Rio Grande

Alpine Cabin is a soft place to land after a day of adventure; it's a tranquil retreat surrounded by majestic mountains! Relax by the wood stove with hot cocoa or enjoy a glass of wine on the deck watching the sunset spread it's aspen glow on the mountains. Family time brings laughter and the smell of marshmallows roasting over the campfire, and stargazing is perfect here!
Adventure awaits! It's an easy walk to National Forest. It's where we walk the dogs. An ATV, 4x4 or snowmobile takes you from driveway to top of Agua Ramon Mountain, or all the way to Wheeler Geologic Area by Creede. The Rio Grande NF offers nearly 2 million acres of beautiful forest and trails to explore. Fly fish, raft, or kayak in Rio Grande River or in several nearby lakes and streams. Gold Medal waters are at the bottom of the hill. Ski or sled at Wolf Creek Ski Area just 18 mi. from your door step.
After a day of adventure, enjoy a great night's sleep in your cozy bed under 600 TC cotton sheets and luxurious down comforter. Wake up to amazing sunrises and watch the deer quietly graze and hummingbirds feed right outside your window. The cabin offers a well-stocked, open-concept kitchen to prepare a hearty breakfast to begin another beautiful day. It's our Happy Place and we hope it will become your happy place for years to come!

Well-stocked kitchen and bathrooms, beautiful furniture, nice quiet area with nice views, deer everywhere-I only had to take off a star for the smelly bad-egg water. But I would gladly come back here again.

Great place to stay

Fun place to stay, even with your pets! I highly recommend bringing bottled water, but other than that, it’s a wonderful place. I was very pleased and appreciated the beautiful artwork throughout the home. The location is great, the host is fantastic, and overall, it was a great stay. Highly recommended! Thank you for the opportunity—we’ll definitely be back!

The ultimate cozy, homey, cabin with all the amenities of a home! Easy access to the main road was nice while being far enough away to feel like we were at secluded cabin. Big property so we could have a fire pit each night (and see ALL the stars) and play corn hole and room for all of us to sit on the front porch and the deck. The furniture is 1st class log-style and the beds were comfy and fresh. My grandchildren and the adults didn’t want to leave. South Fork is truly a special place.

I would greatly recommend this stay to anyone who is going to ski at wolf creek. It was about a 25 min drive from our cabin to the summit. The rooms were very cozy, the baseboard heaters helped keep the house at a steady warm temperature. The fireplace will run you out of there if you put more than 3 sticks of wood on the fire. The bathrooms are huge and spacious. This house is perfect for a stay, summer or winter. The only thing I would suggest is the water is very strong g sulfur smell so I was suggest taking cases of water with you. It’s barely manageable for showering but not for drinking at all. I did talk to Ann and she said they would replace the filter to help take that away. It could have been a rare occurrence while we were there. All in all it was a great stay and I would give it a 5 star rating. I would recommend staying there but take bottled water.

Perfect cabin and location for our family of 4 plus pet dog, although the cabin is perfect for a larger family as well. Very nice home with a great feel, and well-stocked with everything you could possibly need, even down to Kleenex and lotion in every room. Great views from the front and side porches, with deer visiting daily. Loved being able to safely walk my dog in the neighborhood. Easy access to the trails, directly from this property, to the Rio Grande National Forest make it even better. We drove our ATV to Wheeler Geologic Area directly from the cabin and explored the surrounding mountain forest several days. We visit the South Fork/Creede area every summer and would love to stay in Mrs Ann's cabin again!

This is our second year to stay here. It’s just perfect. Enough space for our family of 6, incredibly clean cabin and linens, stocked kitchen and we love burning the wood stove to keep warm after skiing wolf creek.

Well Furnished, Clean Rustic Luxury

This cabin has a fantastic layout. It provides privacy, such as separate entrances and patio areas, as well as ample space to come together for dinners and play games. The kitchen was clean, and completely stocked with extra things you may have forgotten. The beds were extremely comfortable. The linens, pillows, and towels were clean and quite luxurious. Ann was wonderful to communicate with, making sure we had all the things we needed for a fantastic place to make memories! Overall, I would definitely make this cabin a place to stay in the future and recommend it to a friend!

About the host

Hosted by Ann DeWitt

Host profile image
Thom and Ann DeWitt live in the countryside near College Station, TX. Thom's a professor of ecology, and Ann's a Master Gardener. We came together over our mutual love of nature. We got our cabin because the mountains are always calling us!

Why they chose this property

Far enough from the town center that you don't have crowds, road noise, or light pollution, but still close enough to have the conveniences of town (3 mi.).

The Rio Grande National Forest is an easy walk from the cabin.

We love the forest, mountains, river, lakes, and streams. We've got everything right here!

What makes this property unique

We love our many windows facing beautiful mountain vistas that change with the seasons. We call our vacation home a cabin, because it feels like it belongs here in the mountains. We didn't want just another house that felt like it could be in any suburban neighborhood. We wanted a cabin (with all the amenities)!
