About this property

This is truly the perfect mountain getaway! Venture to the quaint town of Marble to discover unrivaled natural beauty in the heart of Colorado!

Find our ‘Hidden in Plain Sight’ mountain cabin tucked amidst 5 acres of its own aspen groves and mature ponderosa pines, just off the only paved road, right at the town limit of Marble. Get away with this fully-remodeled open-air floor plan, both inviting and comfortable with a cozy living room stocked with a flat-screen TV, DVD player, games, and books to enjoy; two bedrooms with plush queen beds; bathroom with shower, original sink and the best mountain views; and fully stocked modern chef’s kitchen including granite counter tops, large sink, full size fridge, dishwasher, gas stove, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. Who wants to stay inside with all the amazing views? The deck is almost as large as the house, with a gas grill and plenty of seating. Take a quick walk down our rock path to the beautiful fire pit. This getaway offers all the comforts of home away from home. Park all your vehicles in the large driveway and enjoy all the day trips Marble has to offer.

In the summer, hike to the nearby Yule Creek Falls, a little longer hike will get you up Raspberry Creek to look down on Marble or take a long trek thru Carbonate Creek for spectacular views. Directly from the house, you can mountain bike, ATV, or take a guided jeep tour to the historic town of Crystal and stop to take photos at the Crystal Mill on the edge of the Crystal River. Go just a bit further to visit the Devils Punchbowl or venture all the way to Crested Butte. Visit downtown Marble to eat at our only restaurant ‘Slow Groovin BBQ,’ stop for an afternoon at Beaver Lake for some fishing, paddle boarding, and boating [just remember your permit], or walk the paths at the Marble Mill Site park to go back in history to see the ruins of the old Marble Mill which includes giant blocks of white marble that were used to build the Lincoln Monument. After time at the Mill, stop by The Marble Gallery to view one-of-a-kind marble sculpture, wood carvings, ceramics, and jewelry! Did you know the Marble Gallery also carries some groceries, just in case you forgot a few items.

Want more touring options? Drive about 20 minutes to the town of Redstone stopping by Hayes Creek Falls on the way. You’ll find the famous General Store, shops, restaurants, free concerts in the summer and an ice-skating rink in the winter! A little further down Hwy 133 is Avalanche Ranch Hot Springs & Antiques or take a dip at the roadside Penny Hot Springs. For more fun, drive just over an hour to the luxurious mountain town of Aspen, where you'll find shops, restaurants, seasonal events and skiing.

Beautiful little cabin!

We loved our stay here. It’s a cute little cabin! It was very clean, and the deck was so nice to relax and bask in the sun. The only drawback is the water, which has a very strong sulfer smell. We found everything we needed, and the property was easy to get to. Hosts were very responsive to questions we had!

Perfect w/ minor issues

For us (senior couple + 12 yr old grandson) was perfect on all ways with 2 issues. Cost higher than would have liked but considering VRBOs added fees may be reasonable. Smell. Yes, that had been mentioned by others. Not the outdoors/ surroundings or the unit itself but the water. Uses a well which as in many rural areas (especially where mining is or has been taking place) stirs up all those layers underground. Water is not discolored but has the sulfur/rotten eggs smell. Now, that is mostly in the 2 sinks when hot water is turned on. Cold water not as bad and water from fridge is MUCH better. The water was safe for us to use/drink. Cost is consideration for family budgets and the water is an esthetic consideration (our grandson is a city boy and only kept commenting on that issue). Also, it was wonderful near- fall weather so we had we windows open. Something to consider in late fall, early winter and early spring. Owners were extremely responsive and state that water issue being addressed. No basement so crawl space restrictions for access. So, all-in-all we would probably say 4. 75 stars but no problem rounding up to a 5!

Excellent Host and Location

This was an amazing location will for sure come back. The host was more than accommodating and helpful with area info and advice about the lack of cell service. Fortunately all of the locations in town offered free WiFi access. Highly recommend!!

Clean with amazing views

I have been coming once a year to Marble since I was a baby, and this was the best place I’ve stayed. The views were amazing on the patio, plenty of parking, and the description was spot on. It was very clean, plenty of dish-ware and linens, and overall very comfortable. It was my husband, our six month old daughter, and me during the trip, and I would definitely come and stay here again. Absolutely no complaints, and the hosts were easy to reach and friendly.

About the host

Hosted by Timothy Walker

Kristie's entire family migrated to Marble, Colorado starting in 2007 so she figured why not move too! Can't beat the views and tranquility Marble offers. So, she found an old cabin that needed a lot of love and TLC and spent a few years renovating the entire cabin into a wonderful retreat. She put heart, soul, love, sweat, and tears to make the perfect little cabin. When she met Tim in 2019, he also fell in love with the tiny cabin in the mountains he nicknamed 'The Love Shack' due to its 'tin roof... rusted.' And they lived happily surrounded by mountains. Both Tim and Kristie love spending time in the outdoors, whether riding mountain bikes, playing on SUPs, kayaking, camping, skiing, uphill skiing, or whatever they can find to do... which they found this place perfectly suited for.

However, both work in Glenwood Springs and Tim's daughter goes to school there. Unfortunately the drive made living in this magical place difficult, so they figured why not share it with others?

We both want to share this unique location, the wonderful town, the amazing property with you.

Why they chose this property

This house is in a spectacular location, right on the main road but far enough back its still tranquil. There is an outdoor hammock, huge deck and great fire pit for you to enjoy the outdoors in your favorite way. You have two options for getting off the property to the rest of Marble, back into Lead King Loop, the Crystal Mill and the old mining town of Crystal. There is ample parking for any and all toys you may wish to bring to make the experience even greater. Or there are tons of rental options all over this tiny little town if you don't feel like packing that much. And, from the back driveway you can access Lead King Loop.

Enjoy nature, with the lack of cell service, to allow deep connections with family members, partners and friends. This house is in a location where your mind can relax without distraction from the outside world. How rare in this day and age!

What makes this property unique

The deck on the house provides you with all the outdoor seating you could ask for. The inside has a kitchen that is a chefs dream, it was repurposed from a house in Aspen! You have spectacular views out of any window, including the bathroom, and has a cabin feel on the outside but feels like home on the inside.
