About this property

The Alpine Haven • Mountain Views • Near Wolf Creek • Fire Pit • Pet Friendly

  • Welcome to The Alpine Haven

    Welcome to The Alpine Haven, your peaceful mountain retreat nestled in the heart of Colorado's breathtaking San Juan Mountains. Whether you're planning a ski vacation, fly-fishing adventure, hiking trip, ATV weekend, or simply looking for a quiet escape to reconnect with family and friends, you'll feel right at home here.

    Our beautifully updated cabin combines modern comforts with classic mountain charm. Large picture windows fill the home with natural light while showcasing the surrounding mountain scenery. Enjoy the privacy of a quiet neighborhood with no homes directly in front of the cabin, allowing you to truly relax and take in the beauty around you.

    Wake each morning with a cup of coffee on the spacious front porch while watching the sun come up and illuminate the Sangre de Cristo mountain range. See hummingbirds, deer, and the occasional fox wander through the area. In the evening, gather around the fire pit beneath an incredible blanket of stars, grill dinner on the propane grill, or simply unwind in one of the Adirondack chairs after a day of adventure.

Beautiful Views from the front porch!

Great cabin for 2 adults and our dog. We loved sitting on the front porch watching the sunrise over the beautiful Colorado landscape. Peaceful, quiet neighborhood, great place to be when exploring several CO mining towns. The views of the sky and the milky way are INCREDIBLE from this property. Everything was clean and we felt very comfortable staying here.

Relaxing in Mountain Air

My wife and I really enjoyed the cabin and the beautiful 70 degree weather.The Rio Grande River was just a short walk from the cabin, and the Aspen foliage was glorious. We saw deer and wildlife while sipping coffee sitting on the front porch. The Host, Karen, was wonderful to work with and the communication was excellent.

Pretty, peaceful cabin is great basecamp to explore South Fork

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It's clean and nicely furnished, decorated and updated. It has comfortable beds (two in the upstairs bedroom and one in the main floor bedroom). The kitchen is well-stocked. It's in a quiet area where you can see wildlife and have great stargazing but yet it's easy and convenient to get to all the great things to do in the South Fork area. We had fun hiking at Penitente Canyon, Big Meadows and Deep Creek. We had a great time railbiking with Revolution Rail Co. from South Fork into the Coller Wildlife Mgmt. Area (do the longer ride - it's worth it). The scenery is gorgeous on the drive up to Creede and Lake City. We had one great day trip to Great Sand Dunes, Zapata Falls and Monte Vista and another beautiful day trip through Wolf Creek Pass to Pagosa Springs to soak in the hot springs. I wouldn't hesitate to stay at this cabin again and I would love to visit South Fork again since there's so much to do.

Basecamp

Just as described in VRBO. Perfect basecamp location. We were celebrating our 28th anniversary by visiting the area. Cabin is well appointed and the kitchen is exceptional with any and all items you could need. Nice to have WIFI. We went to Pagosa Springs, Creed and Lake City. Although a lot of businesses have closed for the season the drives were outstanding with the beautiful cottonwood trees glowing, mountains and rivers. We saw mule deer does and bucks, RM sheep and the scampy little chipmunks! NO BEARS oe ELK!!! Planned to fish at Million Reservoir but hubby took a tumble on our way down to the lake and our trip was immediateky cut short. Thankfully no broken bones but he has a few souveniors on his body! All is good and we enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Thank you for sharing. Be sure to visit Basecamp Sweets (their lemon blueberry mini loaf is SCRUMPTIOUS)

Wonderful cabin home in a quiet area.

My husband and I plus our small dog found this cabin/home to be very clean, well appointed, and organized. The kitchen lacked nothing in appliances, dishes, and serving items. That was important since we made several meals. There were an abundance of household supplies and towels for our daily needs. There was a new cooling unit that cooled the entire cabin. That was important on those warmer, sunny days. We were able to walk our dog peacefully without worry from vehicles since there was little to no traffic. There were other vacation houses around and some may have had permanent occupants but it was noticeably quiet and peaceful all the time. The homes are spaced appropriately and there are many areas not built upon. I loved this rustic area that backs up to the national forest. The location makes it easy to drive to the main highway and access town. We were able to have a wonderful time catching trout at Big Meadows Reservoir. The drive and the water was beautiful. The fishing was very good. We’d like to come back and would eagerly stay at this vacation home where the owner easily communicates and answers any questions you have about the property.
