And now, presenting Eagle Vista! At elevation 9,300, enjoy a wide, jaw-dropping view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, snowcapped during much of the year. The wind sings through the pines and wildlife abounds. No mosquitos, just hummingbirds (seasonal)! We provide lots of info about fun places and experiences within striking distance. In the cabin is an eclectic collection of music, decor, games, puzzles, and books - much of that with an Old West theme.
It is not difficult to imagine being alone at the top of the world in the cabin, although there are neighbors several acres away. Eagle Vista is a solidly built, old-style cabin with glowing honey pine throughout. Luxuriously and comfortably rustic, the cabin is a work of art unto itself. Western art is on display inside, interesting and unique items down to almost every lamp and hook. It's just plain fun to see and experience! The six acres surrounding the cabin are a classic mountain combination of pines, sage, and beautiful boulders.
Please note that the second and third "bedrooms" in the loft are not officially separate rooms. Elsewhere in the listing we refer to them as "sleeping spaces." There is a partial divider wall. It feels cozy and private enough for family and friends. The fourth "bedroom" (sleeping space) is the pull-out sofa in the living room, a comfy queen size.
HOUSE MANUAL We will share a keypad code and a detailed house manual 2-3 days before you arrive at Eagle Vista. A cabin experience is much different than city apartments and houses. We provide guidelines for safety and security, helpful tips about things in and around the cabin, and a lengthy "fun stuff" list of places and activities in the area. All this is our way of helping you be fully informed, assured, safe, and entertained for the best possible experience.
We have partnerships with Arkansas River Tours (rafting), Captain Zipline, and Royal Gorge Anglers. Explore those options far in advance and mention us for a 10% discount.
A few key things noted in our House Manual but helpful to emphasize up front: - Absolutely and strictly no smoking inside. - No outdoor fires due to wildfire danger (but there is a propane fire ring for your enjoyment). - Two pets are welcome if they weigh under 80 pounds each, are housebroken, and never chew on or scratch things. Pets cannot be off-leash outside (safer for them and wildlife), and they cannot be left alone in the cabin unless in a closed kennel. We have a large kennel to loan if needed.

Wonderful Cabin up in the mountains! Hosts are welcoming and very helpful. Incredible views of the Sangre de Christo range. Highly recommend for a quiet retreat.
This property is uniquely gorgeous inside and out. Unparalleled views, tasteful furnishings, clear and easy instructions. Perfect getaway for four and a furry friend.
We stayed here for two nights with two of our friends. The cabin is nice and cozy, and has beautiful views of the area. The property is well secluded in the mountains, and although there are adjacent properties, we hardly felt their presence. All amenities are available in the cabin for a comfortable stay.
We loved our stay here! Incredible views, and a beautiful property. Perfect for our two families to relax and for our kids to play in the snow. Lots of thoughtful touches and a fun selection of games and puzzles. We are already looking forward to the next time we can visit!
The "cabin" house exceeded our expectations. It was clean and inviting. The kitchen was well stocked with amenities. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were roomy. The view from the deck was amazing!!The host was very accommodating, and easy to contact. They even went the "second-mile" to be sure we had what we needed.We had no problems during our stay, and the family was very pleased with the place. We loved everything about the house and property.At one point we even had a little visitor (see pics).I would definitely recommend the Eagle Vista to anyone wanting to get away and enjoy some beautiful scenery.
I had stayed here for a weekend getaway with my family, and what a getaway it was. The house is situated on a knoll overlooking the high peaks of the Sangre De Cristo range. On top of the views the location was serene, Hearing nothing but the wind through the pines is a therapeutic experience. The host has been very informative and communicative and went the extra mile to ensure we were enjoying our stay. The “Code of the West” is alive and well at this home and is so worth the time to get to.

Thanks Mick, it was a pleasure to host you and your crew. You hit the nail on the head with “therapeutic!” The wind through the pines is one of our favorite sounds.
The cabin has the most amazing views and it is very comfortable that you do not want to leave. Even after spending a day out exploring mountains we could not wait to comeback to the cabin. It has anything you would need and more. We are a family of 3 and a 1/2: myself my husband, our daughter who is 8 and a mini schnauzer and we loved the cabin. I do like the private master suite with it's own bathroom, and laundry. Our daughter slept in one of the beds up in the semi private loft with our dog in the travel crate. We even spent one full day at the cabin just to take a break from hiking and activities and were definetly not bored. The kitchen has everything you might need just like a home so plenty of options in cooking, many beddings and towels so it could accomodate a large group. We sat on the deck every evening and watched the mountains, which was surreal, NO MOSQUITTOS, and enjoyed the entertainment from the hummingbirds (thank you for supplying the feeders and how to make the food for them). We did save it on our top favorite list. The communication with the owner or caretaker was amazing and I do hope they will welcome us back.

Scenic beauty, private, quiet, wildlife
What makes this property unique
The cabin is eclectic, colorful, interesting, fun, and "rustic without roughing it." We think where you stay should be a big part of the travel experience, part of a cherished memory. We could have gone with a place that is much more generic and "run of the mill," but that is not us - and probably not you!
