Rushing Creek w/Mountain Views! Perfect Cabin for Family/Couples Getaways!
Rushing Creek, Mountain Views Make Cabin a Perfect Vacation Getaway. Enjoy the best of both worlds----the peaks of the Continental Divide and the rushing waters of Brown's Creek. You get spectacular mountain views from our upper and lower decks. Plus, enjoy our creek with firepit seating, patio, picnic table and hammock. Wireless even extends to the creek. Enjoy all from the comfort of a private cozy cabin set on three acres of meadow and aspens, spruce and cottonwoods.
And now we have high-speed internet for streaming entertainment.
For outdoor enthusiasts, we're in hiking/rafting/biking country. We're 1 mile east of the Colorado Trail trailhead, and just 3 miles up creek from the Arkansas River where it has carved out historic Brown's Canyon National Monument.
This well-appointed home has all the amenities. It was furnished with a family in mind, but is equally comfortable for a couples’ getaway. The charming décor is rustic with a touch of retro.
The homey living room has a river-rock fireplace, comfy couch, club chairs with ottomans and an electric recliner. Two six-foot windows face the mountains. The living room also has Roku, DVD player, plenty of books, and a collection of board games and jigsaw puzzles.
The kitchen is fully furnished with two sets of dishes, pots and pans, bakeware, mixer, crock pots, rice cooker, blender, electric griddle and more. The kitchen window above the sink looks onto the creek and aspen. Next to another six-foot window is a pine dining table which seats eight, and comes with placemats and bandana napkins. Right off the kitchen is a full-sized washer and dryer. All linens are furnished, including beach towels for water activities.
The large upstairs master is 20’ x 20’ and has a vaulted ceiling and king-sized bed. The room also has a ceiling fan and a sliding glass door which leads onto a deck with bench-seating and mountain views. The decorative (non-working) fireplace is set with candles for a romantic escape. At the top of the stairs is a full bathroom. Towels are provided of course.
The main floor has a full bath (tub/shower).
The main floor features a wrap-around deck with a gas grill and a patio table with umbrella overlooking the creek. On the mountain side is a bench glider and side table, perfect for morning coffee or a glass of wine as the sun dips behind the Continental Divide. Step off the deck into the aspen shade for the picnic table, fire pit, hammock and Adirondack benches by the creek.
The area borders millions of acres of National Forest wilderness for hiking. The cabin is just minutes from the best rafting in the west, fly fishing, mineral hot springs, trail rides and golf. Visit the nearby ghost town of St. Elmo and feed chipmunks. Rent a jeep or ATVs in Buena Vista or Salida.
Sample both mountain towns of Salida and Buena Vista—the cabin is exactly between these Arkansas River tourist getaways---just a 15 minute drive in either direction. Enjoy the many restaurants, including the Boathouse Cantina and High Side Restaurant, where you can sip a drink and watch kayakers on the Arkansas River. Amicas microbrewery offers wood-fired pizza and salads. Currents restaurant has good food and live music many evenings. Afterwards, stroll along the river and browse the numerous art galleries and shops.

This lovely home and incredible setting exceeded our expectations. Our host was accommodating and once we arrived we immediately felt welcome. Great care has been taken to make visitors feel at home. The decor is charming and comfortable inside, well maintained, with everything we might possibly have needed during our stay. For us, the highlight was sitting next to Browns Creek in the morning and evening, and hearing the creek as we went to sleep each night. We hope to return again soon!
We had the BEST time in this beautiful, secluded spot. Rick and Jenny were gracious, helpful, communicative, and just made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. The cabin was just what we were hoping for - a beautiful, quaint, clean spot for our family to relax amidst the mountains.
We had a great stay. The cabin is on such a beautiful setting and an ideal location between Salida and Buena Vista. Owners were super responsive and helpful. Would definitely recommend to families!
House was beautiful with great views and your own piece of Brown’s Creek. Rick was very helpful and great to work with. Location is great for rafting, shopping, dining out, hiking, fishing and many other things to do in the area. Will definitely book again.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this cabin tucked in at the base of mount Antero but convenient to local towns of Buena Vista & Salida. We acclimated here in preparation for a longer stay at altitude and enjoyed hikes, fishing high country lakes, and floated the Arkansas. Great amenities and communication with host.
My husband and I were looking for a quiet place to stay in Colorado that wasn't too far from family and this place hit everything. Quiet & beautiful. Would definitely recommend to others.
We stayed at this cabin to get away from the city for a few days. It did not disappoint! The creek and the firepit were the our highlights! We drove up to St. Elmo, hiked and went to Cache Creek to find gold. Its the perfect cabin to getaway and relax. We will be definbe back.
The cabin was great. Loved listening to the creek flow. Cabin kitchen was very well stocked. Rick was very informative throughout the process and even checked on us once we got checked in. Loved the location. Would stay again.
The cabin was cozy, comfortable and had all we needed. We could tell how much the owners treasure their mountain place. We enjoyed sitting by the stream and hearing it during the night. The location worked well for our activities of hiking and being in nature. If we needed to access a town, Buena Vista and Salida were within reach.
Our family had a great time. We loved the secluded cabin and the access to Buena Vista and Salida. Going to bed with the windows open and falling asleep to the sounds of Browns Creek was awesome. Rick is a wonderful host. Very flexible and easy to reach if needed. We were blessed to find one of the coolest places in Colorado to make memories with our daughters!
Great location with the sound of a rushing stream. Very comfortable accommodations and most any kind of kitchen appliances and utensils included.
The owner, Rick was always accessible via text or email and very quick to respond to any questions.
We will definitely return!
This cabin was perfect for our stay in the mountains. It is nestled in aspens with views of mountains and a meadow. The creek is within steps of the house and lovely to look at and listen to. It’s a great fishing spot but don’t tell anyone!
The house is not a rustic cabin but a comfy home with everything you need for preparing meals.
It’s easy to get to town, to hot springs and to hiking trails but we didn’t really want to leave the cabin!
Communication with property manager was excellent. The house is well described as pictured. House was well cleaned and sanitary. The kitchen was equiped well for cooking and even some storage of leftovers. The organization there was very welcomed. The beds are comfortable and the master has a warming matress on it which my wife loved. Any window or door opened and you could hear the river which was amazing and relaxing. Mule deer were present throughout the neighbor hood. The fire pit adjacent to the river are the icing on the cake. This is an excellent place to retreat and relax. 5 stars definitely. We plan on returning
Sitting by the creek with the fire going was perfect. Like a good camping trip with all the comforts of home. Easy access to everything without being in town.
Check in was seamless. Kitchen is one of the best equipped I have seen in a VRBO rental. It has everything you need right down to the spices, cooking oils, ziplock bags, and Aluminum foil. Really amazing. The cabin was clean cute and a wonderful location. Right on the stream so you can enjoy the solitude every morning and evening outside. Great views of Mt Antero and a perfect location halfway between both Buena Vista and Salida. It's just a beautiful location and Rick the owner was a delight to work with. Very responsive. I highly recommend this property. We will for sure be back.
