Creede, CO
4100 USFS 515 Road #286
$100,000

Tucked high in the San Juan Mountains above Creede, Colorado, this rustic 1932 log cabin is a true Hermit Lakes retreat, added onto and updated in the 1950s and lovingly cared for ever since. Offered fully furnished, the cozy mountain cabin includes the refrigerator, countertop range, all furnishings, and even the fishing rods, so you can settle in and start enjoying it right away. Both the roof and the deck have been recently replaced, so the big-ticket essentials are already handled and ready for many more seasons in the high country. This Hermit Lakes cabin has been a peaceful place to unwind and enjoy favorite hobbies, to watch the fish jump, the rain fall across the lakes, and to simply sit together on the deck and take in the quiet. The cabin's story is part of its charm. In the early days, the original smaller cabin was heated by a coal-burning stove, and water was carried by the bucket from a nearby roadside pipe of cold mountain spring water. Over time the current log cabin was added and remodeled with a kitchen and bathroom, electricity, and running water at the faucet. Set at the Hermit Lakes and surrounded by the Rio Grande National Forest, this fishing cabin offers easy access to the high country, with historic Creede a favorite side trip when you feel like coming down from the mountains.
