Luxury Timber Frame Mountain Cabin: Spectacular Chalk Cliffs and Canyon Views

Luxury Timber Frame Mountain Cabin: Spectacular Chalk Cliffs and Canyon Views

10/10 Excellent
"I can't say enough about this beautiful home surrounded by nature. We were in Nathrop for a quick four days of jeeping, shopping and eating. Everything was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked, probably the best I have experienced in years. We bumped into a bit of rain; otherwise, we would have spent every evening on the decks. Great water pressure, comfy couches for relaxing, and the best location if you are hopping between Salida and BV. It's worth every penny. Truly a luxury home that we treasured!"

"Our family LOVED this place! Well appointed, logical layout, etc. What makes this place extra special is the location at the base of the mountains with incredible views from inside or out. PLUS a little playhouse for the littlest member of our family?! Swoon!!!! We hardly wanted to leave, but when we did, it was so closely located to town and great hikes/drives. PERFECTION!!!!"

Chalk Creek River House

Chalk Creek River House

10/10 Excellent
"This place is so spacious and gorgeous. Very quiet and peaceful, for the most part. We could hear Chalk Creek babbling nearby and saw deer and lil' chipmunks every day. The neighbors played loud music on Sun. night (before Mon./Labor Day), but they turned everything down by 10pm. The propane for the grill never got very hot, so we ended up having to pivot and bake our pork chops and corn on the cob. There's an air hockey table in the basement play room that doesn't work. BOO! (frayed electrical cable) I was looking forward to beating everyone in my family. There's a wii system! So fun ... but only 1 controller worked, so we had to take turns on a bunch of 1-player games. Lots of old VHS tapes and DVDs. HA! We loved the sun room and deck for morning coffee, reading, chess etc. My son liked the privacy of the loft and the legos, but we could never get the lights to turn on, so after dark he chose one of the other bedrooms to hang out. We had spa treatments at Mt. Princeton and enjoyed the Hot Springs so we loved being close to that location. Spent a late afternoon/early evening in Salida and that was awesome too. We loved seeing the art in the cabin out in galleries in Salida! Very cool to represent local artists! Thanks for a great weekend! Would stay again!"
