Quiet Arkansas River Hideaway

Before you fall in love -- be sure that you know that this quiet, secluded piece of heaven is just a smidge more than 1/4 mile beyond the county maintenance line. (Translation:
no snow plows!) Because of that, guests are required to have a four-wheel or all-wheel drive vehicle for their winter/early spring stay. Summer does not present this challenge! Getting stuck in snow on the 1/4 mile part that is not plowed could mean problems for other motorists. There is no "dig out" service. Don't let this discourage you! Adventure awaits -- just be sure to bring the right vehicle. In 15+ years of having guests year-round, and using it ourselves, we have not had a problem. We continuously hear just how fun winter is at the cabin!

Do you have a desire for a secluded getaway? This slice of heaven is your getaway destination! Think about the constant sound of water from the stream, games, movies, outdoor fun, hiking, biking, zip lining, Royal Gorge, a trip to the Sand Dunes, and enjoying the art galleries and restaurants in Salida. This unique home is wonderful year-round!

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 pet-free, smoke-free 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 seats 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 the stream (which runs year round, and is just yards from the house), 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, have a glass of wine by the stream, play horseshoes or badminton, 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, and DVD 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! Once booked, you will have access to the owner for questions, details, and any thoughts about what to do in the area.
