Escape to your own secluded mountain retreat — a quaint 1955 seasonal cabin (CANNOT BE USED AS PRIMARY/FULL TIME RESIDENCE ) that has been lovingly cared for by the Brashear family since it was first built. Nestled along babbling W Chicago Creek and surrounded by pristine National Forest, this "Cabin in the Woods" as part of the Recreational Residence Program offers peaceful solitude, rich history, and rustic charm in an idyllic setting. Cabin is being sold fully furnished and move-in ready, complete with a player piano, games, books, and cozy wb fireplace comforts for your getaway. Inside you’ll find a well-equipped kitchen with refrigerator, electric range/oven, antique wood-burning stove and sink with running hot/cold water. Water is delivered to a pressure tank through an underground pipe from a seasonally installed pump in the adjacent creek. The bathroom includes a shower, sink and commercial composting toilet with gray water discharged naturally to gravel beds on the forest floor. A new asphalt shingle roof (2024) adds peace of mind. Electricity is provided by Xcel Energy and potable water should be brought to the cabin. Enjoy cool mountain air, forest service gated access and close proximity to hiking trailheads.
