Tranquil Retreat w/ private National Forrest access, pond & creek

Our beautiful private property overlooking the Wet Mountain Valley has a pond, year round Buttermilk creek that sounds lovely even in Winter. Our private access to the San Isabel National forest & the 90 mile Rainbow trail along the Sangre de Christo Mountains. Hunter paradise. Fall asleep to the sound of running water & sipping coffee in the gazebo by the pond. At night light the fire in the wood stove and while you are warm and see the flames dancing in our cozy house with wrap around deck and views into the wet mountain valley with many forests, meadows, trails, lakes to boat and fish.
Or light a fire in our fire ring while watching the night sky.
From the porch you can see passing by (specially early and at dusk) Elk, deer, turkey and hummingbirds that you can watch and admire.

The house has two rooms with 1 King and the other 1 Queen, one room with 1 single and one Double/Full , 1 single bed on the upper loft. 2 couches that turn to beds.
A lovely brand new kitchen to cook and a wrap around porch and deck to enjoy views and the sound of the creek

It is a wonderful quiet place with no one around, yet 15 min you can be in town and check out one of the local restaurants/coffee shops and fun gift stores.
At times we are at the upper part of our property You are welcome to visit with us, but we basically let our guests enjoy the place on their own,We hope you enjoy all the nature and Privacy. We also have two really lovely dogs, Martin and Tiny, they are here to keep the bears away, and are amazing guard dogs. They are very friendly with people, though they may bark to keep predators away or when they first meet someone. At times we may need to get something from our garage or do some maintenance, but basically think of having your own mountain abode:)
