Creekside Como cabin, offgrid, with amazing views!
Description
Secluded, well-appointed cabin right on Tarryall Creek, with wifi, more than 5 acres of solitude, and 360-degree mountain views. This is my dream place to escape, unwind, and listen to the creek. It's remote and quiet, but accessible year-round: 2 hours from DIA, 1.5 hours from downtown Denver, and 50-mins from Breckenridge. Large kitchen (w/ fridge and antique stove), barnwood accents, huge 400sf deck, and historic decor from Como's gold rush. Dogs welcome, too. The space My cabin sits on five acres at 10,600 feet elevation. I am close to Denver, Breckenridge, and Fairplay... but surrounded by so much national forest you could say I perfected social distancing. My cabin is just under 1,000sf, but it feels nice and roomy with a large living area and great kitchen. The bedroom is cozy, with a fantastic view of Mt. Little Baldy and Mt. Sliverheeld out the window and the sound of Tarryall Creek when the weather's warm enough to crack the window. I am off-grid up here. Solar powers the cabin, so you have to watch your energy consumption, especially in winter. But propane heats the water and shower, and provides back-up heat to the cabin itself. (We much prefer the woodstove, which glows hypnotically when lit and provides a nice even heat throughout the cabin). Cell phone service is hard to come by, but we have a landline for emergency and local calls, and you can use WiFi calling to stay connected. You also can get cell signal about 2 miles back down the road. So far, all of our guests have loved it here. Our cabin has seen engagements and elopements, and many more honeymoons, anniversaries, and birthdays. An album was written here, and a couple books, too. But most of our guests just come up for fun and relaxation. Guest access You have full access to the main part of the cabin, but we ask that you leave the loft alone. Other things to note The cabin is fully stocked with everything you need for cooking. There's a gas grill, pots, pans, knives, a blender, and most other items. Coffee is French press. It also has firewood (though we recommend you bring a bundle plus newspaper to get the first fire rolling). After first snow fall, in winter (Oct-Apr), 4 wheel drive is often required, and high clearance strongly recommended. The main road is plowed, but wind can create snow drifts at any time. We allow booking up to 6 months in advance. So if it looks closed to reservations, check the date. It may open up at the 6-month mark.
