All-Inclusive Rate: $345/night — No Hidden Cleaning Fees

Escape to historic Pitkin, Colorado, and stay in a distinctive mountain cabin directly on Quartz Creek, with straightforward pricing and no surprise cleaning or checkout fees.

200 FEET OF QUARTZ CREEK — FLOW THROUGH THE PROPERTY

Quartz Creek flows through 200 feet of the property, creating a private, expansive creek-front setting.

Wooden stairs connect the cabin balcony to the water’s edge and open onto creek-front bottomland. Relax in the wrought-iron two-person swing, fish for trout, watch wildlife, explore the willows and wildflowers, or simply listen to the creek.

Three large decks overlook the water, and the sound of Quartz Creek can often be heard throughout the cabin. The half-acre+ property includes pines, willows, summer wildflowers and brilliant fall color.

This isn’t simply a cabin near Quartz Creek — Quartz Creek flows through the property.

OHV & MOUNTAIN ADVENTURE — START AT THE CABIN

Bring the toys! The property offers ample off-street parking, including adjacent space for large trucks and trailers.

ATVs and OHVs may be ridden on designated Pitkin roads, allowing guests to ride directly from the cabin into the extensive Gunnison National Forest trail system. Guests must follow posted speed limits, local laws and Town of Pitkin ordinances.

Hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, backpacking, photography and wildlife viewing are all readily accessible from the Quartz Creek Valley.

The spacious living room features an enormous lichen-stone fireplace, wood-burning insert, elk-antler chandelier, mounts and rustic wildlife hides.
