This beautiful mountain home is located in a forested community offering a relaxed and rustic mountain experience with abundant wildlife, away from the crowds.
Nearby attractions include Black Canyon National Park, Curecanti National Recreation Area and Blue Mesa Reservoir (where pontoon and fishing boat rentals are available), Morrow Point Reservoir, Lake City and the Alpine Loop, Owl Creek Pass and Silverjack Reservoir, Big Blue Campground and the Alpine Trail, and much more in Gunnison, Crested Butte, Ouray, and Montrose.
On the main floor, enjoy the open floor plan featuring a gorgeous rock fireplace and large sitting area with smart TV, surrounded by wall to wall windows framing spectacular mountain/valley views. The spacious kitchen has room for multiple cooks, with a cozy wood burning stove. A primary bedroom is located on both floors, with king sized beds and separate baths. A bonus, full sized bed is located in a 1st floor nonconforming bedroom and a pull-out sofa is located in both the great room and the upstairs sitting room. The wrap-a-around deck is ideal for enjoying panoramic views after hiking, biking, fishing, or board games. Take advantage of the opportunity to rent side-by-sides (for anywhere from a half day to 30 days) or electric bikes at nearby Arrowhead Mountain Adventures and visit nearby Arrowhead Lodge for dining and drinks, with live music on weekends in the beer garden during warmer months.
In winter, Arrowhead becomes a magical place, with internal roads closing to wheeled vehicles from approximately December 1st until mid-April; exact dates are determined by the area patrol service and are dependent upon snowfall accumulation. Guests park in the winter parking lot and travel throughout the community via snowmobile (which can be rented for anywhere from 2 hours to 30 days by visiting www.alpineplateau.com). This is also a great time to try out the snowshoes provided at the cabin.
Highway 50 is currently under construction. For the latest, please consult the online schedule for information on traffic patterns and any detours (www.us50info.com).
