About this property

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!

Great Cabin

Very nice cabin and comfortable. Stayed nearly 17 days and would come back. No real issues with property. Water supply has sulfur smell and pungent. We bought water for drinking and cooking.

Perfect cozy cabin

This is our second year to stay here. It’s just perfect. Enough space for our family of 6, incredibly clean cabin and linens, stocked kitchen and we love burning the wood stove to keep warm after skiing wolf creek. Ann is an exceptional host and booking, checking in and out was super easy. She’s super quick to respond to any questions too! Book this place and enjoy a quaint and quiet retreat!

Cozy Cabin That's Pet Friendly

The cabin was everything we asked for. There were high winds with temps dropping at night, but the cabin radiant heating kept us warm. We loved the pet friendly set up. A dog run in the front of the cabin was great. The very quiet and sparsely populated neighborhood made it ideal to walk the dogs up and down the streets without worries of irritating the neighbors. My only advice is to bring bottled water! Ann has a filtration system in the waterline, but you still smell and taste the sulfur. Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Nice clean and well appointed cabin. Great beds and nice airy feel.

Well maintained, clean and thoughtful cabin. Beautiful views of the valley and would have enjoyed the front porch in non-winter time. Will stay again if we can. Ann was extremely helpful and attentive. Would recommend with no reservation - Gabe.

About the host

Hosted by Ann DeWitt

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)!
