There’s space to share meals, play a game or do a puzzle, or just plan the next day’s adventure. If you need to catch up on work during your stay, a dedicated desk and chair give you a place to open your laptop.

MORNINGS AND EVENINGS OUTSIDE
The front porch is one of our favorite places to spend time. Bring your coffee outside and watch the morning light move across the mountains. Depending on the season, you may see hummingbirds, deer, or the occasional fox passing through the area.
After dinner, gather around the outdoor fire table, settle into a chair, and look up at the stars. Leave some time in your itinerary to simply enjoy being here.
A BASE FOR EVERY SEASON
Winter
Wolf Creek Ski Area is approximately 22 miles from the cabin, making The Alpine Haven a convenient home base for ski and snowboard trips. The surrounding area also offers opportunities for snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and sledding.
Come back to a warm cabin, make dinner, and relax before another day in the snow. The washer and dryer are handy for longer stays and days spent outside.
Spring, summer, and fall
Spend your days hiking, mountain biking, fly-fishing, or exploring ATV and Jeep trails in the surrounding area. Fish the Rio Grande, plan an outing to Big Meadows Reservoir, or book a round of golf at the Rio Grande Club.
Fall brings another reason to take your time on the scenic drives and spend a little longer outdoors.
EXPLORE SOUTH FORK AND BEYOND
The cabin is a short drive from South Fork’s restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores, making it easy to pick up supplies or head into town for a meal.
For a day trip, explore historic Creede and check the performance schedule at the Creede Repertory Theatre. Other places to explore in the surrounding area include Wagon Wheel Gap, Lake City and Big Meadows Reservoir.
Whether your plans involve early starts and full days outdoors or slow mornings and quiet evenings, you’ll have a comfortable place to return to.
BRING YOUR DOG
We know a mountain getaway is better when your dog can come along. Please review the listing’s pet limits and fees before booking and include your dog in the reservation.
The yard is large and unfenced. Please supervise your dog outside, pick up pet waste, and place tied waste bags in the trash bin in the garage.
