Amethyst Hideaway

Escape to the Amythest Hideaway, a one-of-a-kind off-grid mountain retreat tucked deep in the Rio Grande Forest. This custom-built cabin is a true work of art—crafted from locally milled wood and adorned with hand-forged metal details. From its large picture windows, take in sweeping views of Nelson Mountain and the surrounding wilderness while enjoying the peace and seclusion that only an off-grid experience can offer. Perfect for a family of four or two couples, this cozy retreat combines rustic charm with modern comfort. Powered by solar energy with a backup generator, the cabin offers all the comforts of home while allowing you to fully immerse yourself in nature. Watch for moose and deer in the meadow below, unwind on the deck, or explore nearby ATV trails, mountain creeks, and historic mining sites—all just minutes away. –Where You’ll Sleep– • Bedroom 1: Queen Bed (Second Story) • Loft: Queen Sofa Sleeper (Second Story, not private) –Amenities You’ll Love– • Custom-built off-grid cabin powered by solar with backup generator • Large picture windows with panoramic views of Nelson Mountain • Fully equipped kitchen • Cozy living area with wood-burning stove • Outdoor seating & fire pit • Washer & dryer • ATV & trailer parking (12 ft max trailer) • Pet-friendly (max 2 dogs, $40/day up to $250/stay) • Peaceful 4-acre forested setting with abundant wildlife –Location– • Rio Grande National Forest Access – Steps from the property • Downtown Creede – 12 miles / 25 minutes (shops, dining, and Creede Repertory Theatre) • Bachelor Loop Historic Mine Tour – 10 miles / 20 minutes • Willow Creek & High Mountain Fishing – 5 miles / 10 minutes • Bristol Head Trailhead – 14 miles / 30 minutes • South Fork – 35 miles / 50 minutes –Good to Know– • NOTE: 4WD/AWD is required YEAR-ROUND!
