Beautiful mountain valley cabin
Modern cabin by the river had all the conveniences of home. Viewed and heard the river from the deck of the cabin. Quiet neighborhood.

Retreat by the river
We had a wonderful time. In the river by the house we saw fish in the evening. Deer passed through the open space beside the house one morning. The stars were amazing! Great place for a weekend getaway.

Peaceful!
The house is located in a very quiet area a few miles south of Cuchara itself and neighbors are not too close by so plenty of privacy is offered. The river flows just behind the house and the water flowing is so relaxing. Jen was very easy to work with and we really appreciated the advance notice from her regarding mowers coming one day during our stay. One note: If steps are a problem for you, this may not be a perfect rental for you. There are steps up to the front door and 15 steps (but who's counting) to the bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The surrounding countryside especially south of the cabin is absolutely beautiful! I think we explored it all, including the Picketwire Store near Weston a couple times for good ice cream and a bumpy drive over Cordova Pass from Cuchara Pass to Aguilar for our ride home. Fun!! We would definitely go back one day.

Absolutely Wonderful
What a gem of a cabin! We slept so well hearing the sound from the river! It’s a great place to relax, catch up on your reading and look at the stars. I would highly recommend it!

Second time and it’s great.
My son and father in law have stayed here two years in a row. It’s perfect for our needs. Great location outside of Cuchara and right on a beautiful, rushing stream. 15 minutes or so to North Lake or LaVeta.

Peaceful Long Weekend
The property is at a beautiful location right on the creek. The house is cozy. We went up during the winter. The property is very close to Cuchara Mountain Park. We went there and did some cross/country skiing. Not much going on around the area in the winter, but a great place to get away for some peace and quiet.

Cool summer retreat
Escaping the heat of this summer to the serenity and weather of this mountain cabin was very relaxing and enjoyable. The stairs to the bedrooms upstairs challenged the heart and lungs of someone unaccustomed to the elevation, but at 76 I was able to manage. Jen sent all information I requested.
