Amazing experience! We have been traveling to Creede for a long time with our camper. We got rid of it so needed a rental. We knew we just wanted to be somewhere right in the mountains/woods still and this house was exactly that! It was clean and comfortable and location was perfect. We brought our side by side and got in early every morning and drove around and saw so many moose. We can’t wait to come back!

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by this cabin. It is absolutely beautiful inside and out, and you can truly see the craftsmanship, care, and passion that went into building it. It was the perfect size for our family of four and offered the peaceful, secluded mountain getaway we were hoping for. One thing to note is that the cabin sits at a higher elevation than Creede. Coming from the flatlands of northwest Oklahoma, it took us a night or two to get acclimated, but once we did, it was absolutely worth it. Our final evening was made even more special by a mountain rainstorm. Sitting on the front porch, listening to the rain fall on the tin roof while taking in the scenery, was the perfect ending to our trip. The cabin was spotless, incredibly well cared for, and easy to get to. The driveway is definitely steep, so we completely understand the recommendation for AWD or 4WD. It may not seem steep to those who are used to mountain driving!
