About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private w/14er Views. Large New Hot Tub. Stream. Borders USFS 3 sides. Wildlife.

The towering trees that stand sentinel over the grassy meadow can tell the story of the Chalk Creek stagecoach stopping to water the weary horses in the Wilsey ditch while the tenacious riders are talking of how nice it would be to have a comfortable cabin just on the edge of this meadow where you could watch the bighorn sheep traverse down the mountain to graze.

Fast forward to 2024. That same stagecoach road is now a driveway. The same ditch runs through the property. The same grassy meadow is still the salad bowl for bighorn sheep and other wildlife. But now there is the rider's dream cabin, BigHorn On The Wilsey. A 1300 SF custom-built immaculate, well-insulated, 3 BR, 2 BA home. Soothing designer colors on the walls bring the outside in. Go to any window and it becomes a frame for the beauty of nature ~ tall pine trees, quaking aspen, willows, outstanding 14er mountain views, and if you are lucky a bighorn sheep, moose, or bobcat. The shady front porch is the place to relax on a hot summer day. A leisurely walk down the drive yields a view of the Wilsey ditch and grassy meadows. A variety of wildlife drink from the ditch. The bighorn sheep viewing meadow is adjacent to the property. While the rest of us park our vehicles and hope to see the bighorn sheep in the few moments we are there, you have a front row seat to the mountain they climb in order to reach the meadow. The cabin and its 2 acres are surround on 3 sides by USFS/State land. No neighbors in sight. No roads in sight. No noise. Clear starry skies. 100% nature. This is Colorado perfect.

Occupancy: Six (6); One King bed; One Queen bed; One Twin bed with One Twin Trundle in open loft sleeping area, 1 roll away main floor; 2 Full Bathrooms with Bathtub/Shower Combo (One upper, One main); luxurious designer bedding and linens; designer wares fully stocked in kitchen; Free WIFI; HDTV flat screen TV with DirecTV satellite channels and Bose speakers; Designer propane stove in Great Room; Full size Washer and Dryer; Ample closets/storage; new outdoor grill; in-ground fire pit; horseshoe pit. Duallys and trailers not advised: no turnaround; narrow & curved driveway.

**NEW outdoor large therapeutic hot tub (Hot Spring brand)!

BigHorn On The Wilsey is your private (and convenient) base for mass exploration; world-renowned white-water rafting or fishing on the Arkansas River, soaking in Mt. Princeton Hot Springs, wildlife viewing on the property, star-gazing the night sky, walking trails (CDOT and Colorado Trail), hiking 14ers, touring ghost towns (St. Elmo, Hancock, Tincup) and other historic sites, taking your Jeep up the 4x4 trails (complete maps inside cabin), gem and mineral collecting on Mt.

Everything is perfect about this property
This was our second stay and it was as wonderful as the first! The secluded location with Mt. Antero and Mt. Princeton as your only neighbors is perfect! The stars we viewed from the hot tub were unlike any we have ever seen. The cabin itself is clean and well-appointed. The kitchen has every possible appliance and cooking need imaginable. The bed and pillows are comfortable and the towels are soft. The cabin is much roomier on the inside than it looks from the outside. We enjoyed walking the back property, listening to the rushing stream and hearing the bird calls each day. This place is exactly what is listed and more. I hesitate to say too many great things about it, for fear of it being booked next year when we return!

This was the perfect vacation home for our family of four. Kids loved exploring the property. We used the hot tub, grill, and fire pit. Good hiking trails and geocaches close to the cabin. So much to explore close by that we stayed in the area the whole time and never even went to town.

Cozy Colorado
The location of this cabin is incredible. It’s nestled in between two mountain ridges, and the sunrises every morning were beautiful. We had deer in the yard in the evenings, and the stars at night were amazing because there is no light pollution in this small community. The cabin itself is very cozy and clean. The property manager, Jean, was great all throughout the rental process. If you’re looking for something a little off the beaten path, this is a great option.

I have always enjoyed the Nathrop area, specifically Chalk Creek. Jean’s cabin is in an ideal spot, very private and picturesque. Right beside the wildlife viewing area, we saw plenty of critters! The hot tub is a huge bonus, especially for star gazing. We will certainly be back!

Real privacy in a beautiful setting
This cabin is situated on a spectacular spot in Chalk Creek Canyon, with seemingly endless acres of National Forest land out the back, which provides absolute privacy and beauty in the rear of the cabin where the hot tub is. The cabin is well stocked with kitchen equipment. The furniture seems to have been upgraded from what is shown in the photos, and the living and dining areas are very comfortable. The two bedrooms we stayed in upstairs were likewise quite comfortable. The hot tub appeared clean and well-maintained; towels were provided. It was too windy for a fire but the outdoor fire pit was a nice place to sit and enjoy the view of Mt Antero in adirondack chairs made of skis. Directions and check-in were simple. We didn't have any reason to contact the house manager with questions, but she welcomed us by text after we arrived. Overall, we loved our stay and would definitely return.

Issues with the driveway
Everything was great, the only complain we have is the drive way. It is so narrow it’s very hard to get a vehicle in there let alone a trailer. We almost hit one of our mirrors on the tree trying to back up the truck.

Stargazing, Serenity, and Solitude
The property was as pictured. I would not call the cabin modern as the appliances, faucets, etc were dated. However, the cabin was cozy and in a great area for hiking, running in to the small town of Buena Vista and wildlife watching. The stars at night were amazing. Jean was quick and helpful with communication. I gave this property 5 stars in all areas but for cleanliness. I want to clarify the property was not dirty - but in need of a bit of deeper cleaning (dust on the ceiling fan, sink drain not super clean, etc). Otherwise, the back deck view was pretty, the front porch was shaded in the evening and perfect of dining on or hanging out. Beds were super comfortable. We would stay again!

The perfect mountain getaway!
This secluded little gem is situated right at the base of the mountains. It is everything described and more! The view from every window reveals mountains, quaking aspens, and no other houses! Each morning, as I watched the sunlight creep down the mountain, I heard birds singing and the snow melt creek run. The feather light breeze gently awakened me. It was so peaceful. The backyard therapeutic hot tub, surrounded by nature, was a welcome respite after hiking. We used it every day! This clean house had everything we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. The beds was very comfortable. The many windows afforded plenty of cool fresh air. Amenities include wi-fi, landline phone, direct tv, video movies and even thoughtful placement of ketchup, Mayo, mustard, jelly and such in the fridge. The property manager, Jean, was easy to reach and was very accommodating in allowing us a late checkout. We will definitely stay here again!

The cabin was perfectly homey. We saw wildlife every evening, from the hot tub. TONS to do in the area. We managed to fill 7 days worth of fun and still have time to enjoy the cabin. We will definitely be booking again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Cabin is fully stocked, which is nice. Most home rentals like this do not have things like trash bags, or dish soap, left for you.
