About This Home

Your Stress Melting Mountain Retreat Awaits! Just far enough into the mountains to feel worlds away, yet with easy access when you need it. This Colorado cabin in Golden Gate Canyon isn’t just a home, it’s a portal to peace. The kind of place where your shoulders drop, your breathing slows, and your worries melt away! This soulful sanctuary comes equipped for year-round living with a newer heating system, upgraded electrical panel, and newer hot water heater. The vaulted-ceiling family room draws you in with its rustic charm, pellet stove warmth, and picture windows showing seasonal changing forested hillsides and Colorado sunsets. The open eat in kitchen provides a great space to gather, perfect for weekend breakfasts after a sunrise hike.

Head up to the loft, ideal for a meditation nook, creative space, or guest bedroom. Step outside to find a versatile shed ready for your outdoor gear or remote office dreams. Yes, there’s high-speed internet available... but let’s be honest, you didn’t come here for Zoom calls.

Here, nature is your amenity. Gross Reservoir is minutes away and will soon reopen with kayaking, camping, and a mountain beach. Hike the nearby Walker Ranch Loop, 606 Trail, or Forsythe Canyon and let the fresh pine air and mountain views do what they do best: restore your soul.

Local Flavor? You’re steps from Wondervu Cafe, a local gem for burgers, green chile, and margaritas on the deck. Down the hill, The Canyon Tavernserves up BBQ and stiff drinks with a view. When Babooza’s reopens, you’ll have a buffet worth bragging about just minutes away.

Whether you’re seeking a full-time escape, a weekend recharge, or a creative sanctuary, this place delivers something rare: peace that lingers.
