Welcome to our spacious and fun Cuchara Mountain log cabin located among the beautiful Spanish Peak mountains in the quaint town of Cuchara, CO.
Sunny, spacious, and relaxing log home with great views from the wrap around deck. It is located in a quiet, serene neighborhood on a cul-de-sac, just down the road from The Cuchara Mountain Park and about 5 minutes by car from charming downtown of Cuchara.
The space
The cabin features a true suite with sitting area, treetop views, and a deep soaking tub. Adjacent to the master is a loft overlooking the great room with a desk, should you need a home office. On the main level you'll enjoy the soapstone wood burning fireplace, open concept floor plan, and the wrap around deck. The main level offers a quiet bedroom with queen bed and adjacent full bathroom off the hall, as well as a mudroom with full laundry adjacent to the garage. Guests will have use of the oversized two car garage for car and equipment storage while visiting. On the lower level you'll find a spacious walk out basement complete with family room, large TV, another wood burning fireplace, and a large picture window. This level also offers a third bedroom with a king bed and a bunk room currently offering two single beds. (As of early July 2021 this room will offer two bunk beds sleeping 4.)
Enjoy all the Spanish Peaks have to offer in this lesser known gem of CO.
In the summer you can hike, trail run, mountain/gravel/road bike, play disc golf or mini golf, fish, take a dip in cool swimming holes or star gaze.
In the winter you can snowshoe, cross country ski, earn some turns by skinning up/skiing down, ride your snow bike, go sledding, or just sip hot cocoa by one of our two wood burning fireplaces.
The fall is magical as the aspen groves share their golden glow. Take a drive up Cuchara pass and visit the beautiful Apishapa Arch and enjoy the view, or drive up to Bear or Blue Lakes for an afternoon lunch by the river surrounded in fall color.
