A river runs through it! Located an easy 45 mins west of Colorado Springs in the Rocky Mountains, this true mountain cabin property is right next to the South Platte River, reservoirs, canyons, hiking, biking, rock climbing — So much incredible Colorado goodness! An angler’s dream. A hiker’s piece of heaven. A comfortable & modern homebase for outdoor adventures you’ll remember for years to come. But don’t just take our word for it — browse our photos, ask us any questions & book today!
This 2 bedroom modern mountain cabin has been designed and built with the outdoor enthusiast in mind. The finishes are new and of absolute quality, but we know that while you’re here, this handsome little home will be a base, a station of rest and recuperation after a long day’s outdoor adventures in the mountains, rivers, forests & lakes around you.
While located in an incredible, mountainous spot this home is surprisingly easy to get to, and is perched just off main, well-maintained roads easily accessible even in a Colorado winter. You’ll park in the gravel driveway and enter through the front door past the front porch, immediately entering into a warm, welcoming, surprisingly modern and inviting space.
You’ll notice the gas fireplace and exceptional stonework of the hearth. The comfortable seating invites a sit. The kitchen to your right is cozy, but exceptionally appointed with modern, stainless steel appliances, quality cabinetry extending from stone backsplashes and rough-cut granite countertops. There’s everything here you need, and nothing you don’t — the kitchen is ready for your culinary creations; the perfect spot perhaps to broil the trout you caught in the world-class fly fishing waters just a few hundred feet away. Baked, or broiled, poached or even grilled with the gas grill conveniently located on the front porch just out the front door — the possibilities are endless. There’s a table with seating for up to five people too.
The home’s 2 bedrooms both offer warm, comfortable and well-configured sleeping quarters for up to 6 guests. The primary bedroom is spacious, open and bright. You’ll immediately notice the voluminous, modern king size bed situated near a big, beautiful window offering bright morning views of the evergreens outside. The home’s second bedroom features a total of 4 comfortable bunk beds — the perfect setup for families or a group of friends. The single bathroom is accessible directly from both bedrooms. A stunning little place to do your business, the tile shower, the granite counter, stainless steel and tasteful lighting all seem almost too nice — touches of luxury juxtaposed with the natural mountain beauty just outside and so accessible.
This cabin is located on 35 acres of rugged terrain backing up within feet of Pike National Forrest. The property is located across from the entrance of Eleven Mile Canyon and has Twin Creek a free stone headwater running through the center of the property into the South Platte River. At 8,000 feet elevation, the cabin has direct access to Pike National Forrest right out the front door and within a half mile of world class gold medal waters. At night, you can open a window or sit on the porch and listen and hear the water of the South Platte and the bottom spillway. In the fall, you can take a lunch and hike from the cabin to the spillway to see large Brown Trout trying to leap up the spillway.
This ideal location allows you to fish Eleven Mile Canyon in the morning and the World Class “Dream Stream” in the afternoon and be back for a shower and dinner within minutes. We are in Park County and within minutes to Eleven Mile, Spinney Mountain, Antero, and Tarryall Reservoirs.
Inside the cabin you will find maps and books on where and how to fish the various waters in the area. And if you need further assistance the “Tumbling Trout” fly shop is one mile away where you can talk with professionals and get supplies.
In addition to fishing, we are approximately twenty minutes from the gambling town of Cripple Creek, Colorado. There you will find all the amenities of a larger City including many restaurants, services, and tourism.
This home is managed by a short-term rental specialist with quality and care worthy of your 5 star review. It’s a modern, efficient, comfortable space for rest and renewal after a day’s outdoor adventures; this home is designed specifically for the short-term guest and their friends and family — the perfect homebase for an exceptional Colorado vacation experience.

The Neighborhood:
Lake George, Colorado is just 45 minutes west of Colorado Springs conveniently accessible via Highway 24. It’s a destination, as well as a gateway of sorts and offers exceptional Colorado wilderness opportunities with the simultaneous ease and convenience of shops, gas stations, restaurants just up the road. The roads here are well-maintained — a convenience not to be underestimated during a Colorado winter.
Lake George is a small town known for its mountain fishing opportunities. It’s surrounded by mountain rivers, lakes & reservoirs. The South Platte River runs through the town. Turning south from HWY 24 on 96, just after you turn off to the cabin, lies the entrance to 11 Mile Canyon — shear cliffs of granite sometimes hundreds of feet high that local rock climbers covet and ply, as fly fishermen maneuver the eddies and swirls of the river beneath them. 11 Mile Reservoir lies at the other end of the canyon and offers miles of open water for boating on summer days and fishing year round. Just up the road are Antero and Tarryall Reservoirs, each offering their own variations of Colorado lake-angling.
There are miles and miles of trails for hiking and biking, off-roading, 4x4’s, camping, and anything in between. National Forest surrounds this place, and the outdoor recreation possibilities are endless. A little over an hour northwest are the world-renowned ski slopes of Breckenridge and Keystone. There are 14er’s to climb, rivers to fish, forests to explore — and all with the convenience of civilization just a few minutes away. There’s a great restaurant and brewery in Florissant, 8 minutes away (The Irontree & Funky Town Brewery). Ace Hardware is in Florissant too. There’s a grocery store in Divide, 15 minutes east. The casinos of Cripple Creek, on the west or “back” side of Pikes Peak, are just 35 minutes away, and Colorado Springs and the Colorado Springs Airport are just 45 minutes to an hour directly off HWY 24.
Experience Colorado the way it was meant to be experienced, in a location surrounded by evergreens and cliffs, rivers and mountain peaks on the horizon — just minutes from well maintained roads, airports, urban and suburban comfort and convenience.
