About this property

Mountain views, walk to National Forest, close to Rio Grande

Alpine Cabin is a soft place to land after a day of adventure; it's a tranquil retreat surrounded by majestic mountains! Relax by the wood stove with hot cocoa or enjoy a glass of wine on the deck watching the sunset spread it's aspen glow on the mountains. Family time brings laughter and the smell of marshmallows roasting over the campfire, and stargazing is perfect here!
Adventure awaits! It's an easy walk to National Forest. It's where we walk the dogs. An ATV, 4x4 or snowmobile takes you from driveway to top of Agua Ramon Mountain, or all the way to Wheeler Geologic Area by Creede. The Rio Grande NF offers nearly 2 million acres of beautiful forest and trails to explore. Fly fish, raft, or kayak in Rio Grande River or in several nearby lakes and streams. Gold Medal waters are at the bottom of the hill. Ski or sled at Wolf Creek Ski Area just 18 mi. from your door step.
After a day of adventure, enjoy a great night's sleep in your cozy bed under 600 TC cotton sheets and luxurious down comforter. Wake up to amazing sunrises and watch the deer quietly graze and hummingbirds feed right outside your window. The cabin offers a well-stocked, open-concept kitchen to prepare a hearty breakfast to begin another beautiful day. It's our Happy Place and we hope it will become your happy place for years to come!

About the host

Hosted by Ann DeWitt

Host profile image
Thom and Ann DeWitt live in the countryside near College Station, TX. Thom's a professor of ecology, and Ann's a Master Gardener. We came together over our mutual love of nature. We got our cabin because the mountains are always calling us!

Why they chose this property

Far enough from the town center that you don't have crowds, road noise, or light pollution, but still close enough to have the conveniences of town (3 mi.).

The Rio Grande National Forest is an easy walk from the cabin.

We love the forest, mountains, river, lakes, and streams. We've got everything right here!

What makes this property unique

We love our many windows facing beautiful mountain vistas that change with the seasons. We call our vacation home a cabin, because it feels like it belongs here in the mountains. We didn't want just another house that felt like it could be in any suburban neighborhood. We wanted a cabin (with all the amenities)!
