Your Quiet Cabin in the Woods! Streamside Retreat Near Salida, Colorado

Tucked along a year-round mountain stream near Howard, Colorado — just a short drive from charming Salida — this peaceful cabin retreat has been welcoming guests since 2008. Families and couples return again and again for the quiet beauty, cozy atmosphere, and unforgettable sound of Cherry Creek flowing just outside the windows. Be sure to read the reviews to see why so many guests call this their favorite getaway in the mountains.

Surrounded by more than an acre of wooded property, this secluded cabin is the perfect place to slow down, reconnect, and enjoy Colorado’s natural beauty in every season. Sip coffee by the stream, read on the deck, watch for wildlife, or gather around for games and movies after a day of adventure.

The 1,200-square-foot cabin is thoughtfully furnished for comfort and relaxation. The smoke-free, pet-free home includes two bedrooms, one bathroom, and additional sleeping space in the living room with two futons — accommodating families, couples traveling together, or multi-generational getaways. Sleeping arrangements include two queen beds, two full beds, and two twin beds. The cabin has two exterior security cameras that focus solely on the two entrances, with one capturing the parking area.

The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for family meals, holiday dinners, après-ski treats, or simple mornings with fresh-ground coffee. The dining table seats six, with additional seating at the breakfast bar.

Whether you are looking for outdoor adventure or peaceful mountain downtime, this location offers it all. Nearby activities include hiking, biking, fly fishing, white water rafting, horseback riding, zip lining, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and scenic drives. Guests also enjoy exploring the art galleries, restaurants, live music, wineries, and shops in nearby Salida, as well as day trips to the Royal Gorge Bridge & Park and Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

Back at the cabin, enjoy badminton, books, movies, music, photography, mushroom hunting, or simply falling asleep to the sound of the creek outside your window.

Families with young children will appreciate the thoughtful extras, including books, toys, games, a Pack ’n Play with crib sheets, booster seat, and bathroom step stool.

This is truly a year-round Colorado escape — from summer adventures and fall colors to winter snowshoeing under the stars. Snowshoes are even provided for guest use.
