Luxurious Log Cabin on a River

This charming 1940's log cabin has been completely updated with high-end amenities, creating the perfect balance of rustic luxury. Located on 5 acres adjacent to Carson National Forest, the cabin backs up to a beautiful mountain wall and river running right off the back deck (dries up in Oct-Jan). Just 10 minutes to the plaza, you’ll be close enough to enjoy the action of town, but far enough way to escape people and immerse yourself in nature. Lots of great hiking trails just minutes away!

The space
Cook a gourmet meal in the state-of-the-art kitchen with Miele appliances, or grill out on the deck using the gas grill. Relax in the hammock under the trees or on the outdoor sofa on the back deck. Work from the desk overlooking the river, using the high-speed internet. At night, sit around the fire pit and roast marsh mellows, soak in the hot tub under the stars or curl up in front of the fireplace with a good book or movie on the big screen TV.

Other things to note
Four wheel drive vehicles during January, February and March may make mobility better. Roads are cleared but a minimum of front wheel drive is recommended. This is a log cabin in the Carson Forrest and 10 minutes from down town. It’s a very unique property that requires patience and the love of nature and the outdoors.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

We really enjoyed this property. Loved the charm and coziness of the original cabin portion of the house. Perfect for hanging by the fire, reading a good book. Plenty of firewood and comfy couch.They've done a great job on the renovation/restoration. The kitchen portion is fantastic. It is rare to have such a functional and high end kitchen in a rental like this. Great appliances. First place I've ever rented that had SHARP knives, ha. If you cook you know this is great. Loved the day bed area and all the deep windows. The views, the deck and the back portion really make this place special. Amazing privacy and quiet. Love the little creek and the fence that blocks the road noise. Had a little trouble with the hot tub the first day and wasn't able to get it working so that was disappointing, but was able to get a fix from the host and enjoyed it on our second night. Bed was comfy and had great bedding. Would recommend this as a fantastic stay.

Magical

To sum up this stay in one word...magical! We very much enjoyed the privacy and pure beauty of this property. A little slice of heaven!Joseph and Megan are incredible hosts who made sure all basic and essential needs were provided for. Detailed instructions are availble so no guessing on how things operate. Very much appreciated all the tips!Our favorite things include sitting by the living room fire place which kept us warm and cozy. Eating breakfast at the kitchen island taking in the views. As well as sitting in the hot tub enjoying a nice soak while being surrounded by beautiful pines and aspens. The sound of the creek running in the background was icing on the cake. This place is perfect for a couple who is looking to disconnect from the world and relax in peace. We gladly recommend this propety. We travel every chance we get and this place quickly made our top favorite places to visit. Would stay again!
