As of October 1, John and I are the proud new owners of a log cabin in Creede! We're hoping you come visit, but in the meantime, here are some pix from our first day settling in.
First, the cabin, below. It's D-log construction with full-length porches on two sides and lots of windows to enjoy mountain views in all directions. It also has a detached two-vehicle garage in back, with room for the teardrop and a workshop.
The neighborhood is called Bristol Head Acres for the mountain to the north that we can see from our living room. An equally beautiful feature is the Rio Grande River, below, a short walk from the cabin. As homeowners in this neighborhood, we have access to river angling and some of the best trout fishing in Colorado.
We closed escrow just in time for the peak of fall colors. The aspens are bright yellow.
The interior is quintessential mountain cabin with exposed tongue-and-groove pine walls and a wood-burning stove. A floor-to-ceiling pine tree post to the roof peak is a centerpiece of the living room.
Log stairs lead to a second-floor loft and master bedroom.
The loft is a great place to read or take a nap.
And a rustic log bedroom set perfectly complements the pine pitched ceiling.
The guest bedroom is ready for your arrival!
