The Buffalo Cabin is where nature, rest and comfort help you ground yourself. The preserved public lands with free range Buffalo roaming thousands of open acres, help you find yourself. The cabin provides the technology needed for your work and pleasure, while the ancient landscape, the sun and the stars allow you to heal yourself, without interruption. This self sustaining cabin is centrally located between many of Colorado's epic outdoor activities and mountain towns. Get away or play.
The space
The Buffalo Cabin is a modern blend of Southwest and Scandinavian style with wood and tile throughout. It consists of two bedrooms with queen beds, and a quality full-sized sofa bed located in the Great Room. The cabin offers strong heating, a wood stove, AC, Starlink Internet, a chef's kitchen and beautiful bathroom for your comfort and work. It is fully off-grid, modern and intentionally designed. The cabin's private well has exceptional flow rate, so take as long and as hot of showers as you please.
Buffalo Cabin is nestled within an expanding herd of American Bison, Buffalo. Alongside other wildlife, these majestic animals roam freely, passing by at their own pace every few days. Perched on a south-facing hill at 9,000 feet, the cabin enjoys a warm microclimate, bathed in sunlight and dark sky.
Mornings here bring a stoic calmness. From the deck, one can take in 25-mile panoramic views East towards Pikes Peak or Sun Mountain-Tava, to the native Ute Tribe. The cabin landscape has remained undisturbed for 40 million years.
Guest access
The cabin is accessed by a key within a lockbox. A lock box code will be provided the day before your arrival. When entering the neighborhood, there will be a Buffalo gate you'll enter through. The cabin is only a half mile from main road Hwy 9.
Other things to note
Please understand that you’ll be within public lands without fences where Buffalo roam free. Buffalo are not passive or friendly. Do not approach, pet or interact with Buffalo or other wildlife. Stay at least 200 feet away and keep children and pets close by, as Buffalo will be defensive and aggressive when challenged or approached. If you see Buffalo present then you should quickly make your way to your care, close to the cabin and ideally on to the deck. If driving by a Buffalo, drive slow ~5mph and first wait for them to walk past you. Guests are responsible for their safety, as the risk of serious injury or death is real. The Buffalo are not property of the cabin’s owner and the owner of Buffalo Cabin is not responsible for the actions or damage caused by the Buffalo.
The cabin has a septic system, so please do not flush feminine products or materials other than toilet paper.
We do not have a garbage disposals or dish washer. Please clean your dishes by hand and discard your food waste into the trash, as it could damage the septic system.
Outdoor fires are prohibited by the county because for the wildfire risk. We would love to offer outdoor fires but the risk has simply become too great. We're sorry.
Back up Generator: The Buffalo Cabin is fully off-grid and in winter/cold months our generator has to often kick on during the night for up to 3 hrs to restore the battery pack. This is especially true when there is a day or two without sun. When inside, you might hear a gentle hum when the generator is running, but outside it can be moderately loud during those few hours. I can control the generator from my phone so just let me know if its bothering you when running during the day. But it only turns on when the energy storage is very low.
Thank you!
