We have a cabin near by and needed extra rooms for 4 people. This cabin is small, but really cute. It even has a fire pit out back by the stream! We would definitely rent again.

Fantastic location with a beautiful open back yard space where we sipped on coffee in the cool crisp morning by the flowing river and reminisced about the day spent exploring around the fire pit. Literally hated to leave…….

Have been visiting Cuchara for 40+ years. Still Colorado's best kept secret and freshest mountain air! Cabin is nice and basic right on the Cuchara creek.

Cuchara by the Creek

The cabin is clean and well stocked. There are benches and chairs for you to sit outside and enjoy listening to the creek and relaxing. The cabin is next to the Hwy so you will hear some road noise. It's a good Basecamp for going to hike and see some of the beautiful scenery with Spring Creek Trail within walking distance. There isn't much shopping nearby so you will probably want to stop in one of the larger towns nearby (La Veta or Walsenberg) for supplies to have at the cabin. Overall we loved our stay here and would definitely come back again.
