Log Cabin on the River Hot Tub, Stars, Ultimate Escape

Cross the bridge and leave the world behind.
This one-of-a-kind log cabin sits directly above a crystal-clear, spring-fed stream at the edge of Pike National Forest. From the moment you arrive, the sound of the water sets the tone for a peaceful, immersive mountain escape.
Park in your private lot surrounded by trees, then walk across a small bridge to reach the cabin. It’s a simple transition, but it feels like stepping into another world.
Only about 50 minutes from Denver, this is the kind of place people don’t expect to find so close to the city.
Important Note About the Bathroom (Please Read)
This cabin uses a private outhouse instead of a traditional indoor toilet, and we want to be very upfront about that.
That said, this is not your typical outhouse. It is:
• Clean, well-maintained, and fully private
• Located just a few feet from the cabin (very easy access)
• Comfortable and thoughtfully built
If you’re unsure, we strongly encourage you to read the reviews. Guests consistently mention how clean, comfortable, and unique the experience is, and many end up loving it.
What Guests Love Most
Hot tub right beside the river
Soak just feet from the flowing stream while listening to the water and taking in the surrounding forest.

Located just above the steps to the hot tub, this is one of the most unique features on the property. Rinse off under the open sky with hot water while surrounded by trees and the sound of the stream.
Bluetooth speakers at the hot tub + Alexa inside
Play music right from your phone while soaking, then continue the experience inside with Alexa-powered music throughout the cabin.

The Experience
This cabin is built for slowing down.
