Exquisite Log Cabin. 35 Wooded Acres Laced w/ Creeks & Trails | Cabin in Westcliffe
3 Bedroom Cabin in Westcliffe
Summary:
Triple Creek Cabin is hidden away in the eastern slope of the Sangre de Cristos. This log home is designed to pull the mountain views into every room. Placed among several creeks, which produce a most soothing white noise of rushing water all year long. No road or neighboring cabin can be seen from this private enclave.
Rates have been reduced at least 30% for up to 4 guests for next 90 days. 5th & 6th guests costs $50 per night each.
Access is via CR-150, also known as Muddy Road, so named by how the last 1.5 miles of the approach softens up for about a month every Spring.
Access to the hot tub requires acknowledgement of a release of liability and a per-stay fee. The fee is only applied to groups of guests adding this amenity to their reservation making the place more affordable for those groups who do not use the hot tub.
Upon booking, you will receive a welcome message and an invitation to download our mobile app that provides a broad range of information about the cabin and the area. We encourage use of the mobile app because information such as restaurant hours and events is kept current. A printed Guest Guide is provided at the property but is more limited and not as current as the mobile app.
The Space:
This GORGEOUS log cabin is surrounded by aspen and pine trees in a tapestry of small creeks. Photos faintly capture the scene, but the effect of seclusion and wilderness is multiplied by the soothing sound of rushing creeks that flow year round.
The main floor is designed for family living in an environment that blurs indoor with the great outdoors. A slider facing the Wet Mountain Valley (east) provides quick access to a covered picnic table and a Traeger grill. A floor-to-ceiling wall of windows pulls in Hermit Peak to the south. Likewise the remaining windows and doors throughout the cabin open up to the surrounding forest interwoven with creeks in the foreground and mountains in the background.
The kitchen is ideal for entertaining with expansive countertops against log walls and a wet island facing the living and dining room. All new appliances and a thoughtful complement of utensils, pots, pans, crock pot, air fryer, etc. are provided. Coffee bar includes a burr grinder, a supply of fresh, organic coffee beans and a drip coffee maker. Bring a few CD's to enjoy cooking to your favorite tunes. Or enjoy the classical music loaded in the CD player tucked under a corner cabinet.
The main floor flows from the spacious kitchen/great room to a full bath, two bed rooms and a utility room containing a large capacity washer and dryer.
The log staircase leads to a loft overlooking the great room and the wall of windows. At the top of the stairs is a flat-panel TV and comfy area for family movies or for playing video games. A few steps away is a spacious master suite with a luxurious, en suite bathroom. Perfect for a couple who wants to retire early or work a few hours away from the fray. The master suite includes a seating area with a couch perfect for relaxing with a good book. Across the room is a medium-sized desk perfect for answering emails or completing tasks. The bathroom has both a large soaking tub and a spacious walk-in shower.

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire cabin and driveway but not the garage. Guests are welcome to explore the 35 acres but should not go beyond the property lines, which are well marked. Foot paths through the woods with creek crossings make for great snowshoeing. The paths are being extended to the perimeter over time. For now it weaves by the larger creek including a couple crossings. Once snow builds up, by mid-December, you will be able to blaze your own path with snowshoes or Nordic skis.
The Hot Tub is available for a moderate fee that may vary by season. Payment and acknowledgment of the hot tub rules and liability waiver is accomplished via the mobile app offered in a welcome message sent immediately after booking.
The Neighborhood:
Triple Creek Cabin is a half-mile below Hermit Basin Lodge, (former Conquistador Ski Resort) and about nine miles from Westcliffe. It's located among wooded parcels on 35+ acres. While only a few hundred yards from National Forest Lands, there is no direct access to the NSF lands from this property. The nearest access is NSF Road 160, which is a five-minute drive.
Maps provided at the property and at links found on our "DACK" Mobile app will point you to a broad range of trails that explore both the Sangre de Cristos and the Wet Mountains.
