Tell me about this home & its history:
Dog-friendly, tranquil retreat nestled in the forest with Monte Cristo Creek views off the back decks!
This peaceful creekside getaway has comfortable mountain furnishings. This cabin was built in 2013 by its owners and children with a deep love of nature.
The Meditation Area:
The Angel guarding the Monte Cristo Creek & property has deep significance to the owners and is in loving memory of their loved one. Many guests enjoy this meditation/reflection area.
The owners are thrilled to welcome you to their home and happy to share Riffel's River Retreat, hoping it brings joy and peace to you and yours. Pay attention to the original artwork and sewing crafts personally created by the owner for you to enjoy - including the fabulous end tables in the main living room.
The artwork, linens, drapes, and woodwork add elegance to this handcrafted Colorado Rockies Home. Spend quiet evenings relaxing by the fire or cozying up with the family for a movie night. Meander outside (with your 4-legged pal, perhaps) and cross your private forest bridge to stroll along Monte Cristo Creek. This secluded home offers 1.5 acres of room to roam. Enjoy the fresh mountain air. This beautifully designed mountain retreat is ready-made for your next family vacation or group getaway!
