Creekside Mountain Cabin

Creekside Mountain Cabin is a beautiful rustic mountain home located in Mosquito Gulch, just North of Fairplay and South of Alma in Park County - only 25 miles from Breckenridge! This charming 3 bedroom and 2 bath home is very secluded and on a heavily wooded property that offers direct access to the creek and beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Mosquito Gulch is home to a variety of wildlife and this spectacular location affords opportunities to observe Elk, Deer and Foxes (just to name a few!) right on the property. Additionally, the wetland area located less than a mile from the home is one of the few areas where you may be able to see Moose in their natural habitat.
 
The home has a cozy living area that features a wood-burning fireplace with a large stone hearth, a flat-screen TV and comfortable seating. The home boasts a well stocked, cheerful kitchen with everything you will need to cook your favorite meals and an open dining area with seating for 6-8. The ground level Master Bedroom has a Queen size bed, ample closet space and large windows that offer beautiful woodland views with a full bathroom easily accessible from the central hallway. The first floor bathroom has a single basin vanity, toilet and standard size bathtub/shower.

The Second floor offers 2 comfortable bedrooms and a full bathroom. The bathroom has a single basin vanity, toilet and standard size bathtub/shower. Both of the upstairs bedrooms have bunks that feature Full size beds on the bottom and standard Twin size beds on the top, with plenty of closet storage, and in-room access to the elevated deck with its breathtaking tree top views. The quiet and secluded deck is the perfect spot for a morning cup of coffee and for safely viewing all the wildlife that might be roaming the property. 

The outdoor area is spectacular with a spacious wrap-around deck, a large gas grill, plenty of patio furniture, a covered picnic gazebo, children's playground equipment and pathways that lead directly to the creek- ALL WITH SPECTACULAR MOUNTAIN VIEWS! Satellite TV, local phone and games are provided for the guests.  
The driveway is plowed in the winter and the roadways are maintained by the county, but 4-wheel drive vehicles are required from November through May due to the frequent snow storms in this area.
