Escape to your own private mountain retreat! Nestled on 11 wooded acres in Idaho Springs, this charming 1-bed, 1-bath, 2-story cabin is the ultimate off-grid getaway amid nature & tranquility. Embracing a sustainable lifestyle, the cabin includes a composting toilet & operates without running water for a true back-to-nature experience.

The land is filled with Aspen trees that blaze with vibrant color each fall, creating a truly magical atmosphere. Inside, warm tongue & groove ceilings, hardwood floors & vaulted ceilings create a cozy, open feel.
