    What's special

    Fully furnished and turnkeySeparate cozy guest cottagePrivate upper deckPrivate footbridgeUnique antique furnishingsOutdoor hot-water showerCharming creekside cabin
    Escape to a Colorado mountain retreat that feels a million miles away from everyday life without giving up the comforts of home. Cross your private footbridge and arrive at a charming creekside cabin nestled among towering pines, with a spring-fed stream flowing year-round through the property. The soothing sound of the creek can be heard throughout much of the property, creating a peaceful mountain setting from the moment you arrive. One of the cabin's most inviting features is its expansive wraparound deck. Spend your evenings gathered around the outdoor chiminea enjoying a crackling fire beneath the stars, relaxing in the hot tub overlooking the creek, or taking in the mountain air from one of the many outdoor seating areas. For the adventurous, enjoy a cold plunge in the stream, then rinse off in the outdoor hot-water shower. Inside, the cabin is warm, cozy, and filled with character, including unique antique furnishings and a wood-burning stove that creates the perfect atmosphere for snowy winter weekends or relaxing after a day on the trails. The main level features two queen bunk beds, while the loft offers two additional beds. Beautiful stained-glass doors open onto a private upper deck, creating the perfect spot for stargazing, morning coffee, watching wildlife, or simply listening to the creek below. A separate cozy guest cottage provides additional sleeping space and a private retreat for visitors, making the property ideal for hosting family and friends. Despite the secluded mountain setting, you'll stay connected with lightning-fast Starlink internet—perfect for remote work, streaming, or keeping in touch while feeling a million miles away from your troubles. Outdoor recreation is right outside your door. A popular trailhead less than a quarter mile away provides access to miles of hiking, including routes extending nearly 30 miles toward Mount Blue Sky. Fishing, hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, wildlife viewing, and skiing are all nearby. Located approximately 15 minutes from Bailey, less than an hour from Denver, about 45 minutes from Red Rocks, and roughly an hour from Breckenridge. Fully furnished and turnkey, this unique property offers the rare combination of privacy, adventure, character, and modern convenience. Whether you're looking for a family mountain retreat, a weekend escape, or an investment property, this cabin has a proven history of generating short-term rental income when you're not enjoying it yourself. Wake up to the sound of the creek, spend the day exploring the mountains, soak in the hot tub beneath the stars, and end the evening beside a fire. Properties like this rarely come available and are becoming increasingly difficult to find. FOR SALE BY OWNER Call or text James at 843-252-6203 to schedule a private showing. Cash sale preferred. Serious buyers only. I am not seeking listing services or representation from real estate agents. Buyer agents are welcome if representing a qualified purchaser. I may also consider creative ownership arrangements, including partnerships between families, friends, or investors looking to share the enjoyment and expenses of this unique Colorado mountain retreat.
    What the owner loves about this home
    What I love most about this property is that it offers a level of peace and privacy that's becoming increasingly difficult to find. The sound of the creek, the footbridge entrance, evenings in the hot tub under the stars, and mornings on the deck with a cup of coffee make it feel like you've escaped to another world. I love that I can leave Denver and be here in less than an hour, yet it feels completely removed from the stress of everyday life. The trailhead just up the road, the wildlife, the mountain air, and the changing seasons make every visit different. The loft deck is one of my favorite places to spend time. Opening the stained-glass doors at night and looking up at the stars while listening to the creek below is something that never gets old. I also love that the property can be enjoyed in so many ways. It's been a wonderful family retreat, a place to gather with friends, and when we're not using it, it has produced reliable short-term rental income. It's a rare property that combines adventure, relaxation, and investment potential in one package.
