Welcome to your private mountain getaway, a peaceful family-friendly cabin surrounded by trees with incredible mountain and valley views. Perched on a bluff just past the river and rodeo grounds, this serene retreat sits on a quiet, dead-end private road, offering privacy, comfort, and easy access to nearby outdoor adventures.

You’ll love watching deer and elk stroll through the yard each morning and catching the sunset over the mountains from the porch or deck.

Bedrooms:

@Each bedroom is blackout curtains and cozy touches for restful nights.

# Master Bedroom – King bed, Smart TV, walk-in closet, private bath with dual sinks and full shower. Pack-and-play available.

# Bedroom 2 – Queen bed, a small bedroom, walk around bed but still tight. Simple and cozy.

# Bedroom 3 Doubles as a TV/game room, it has a pullout/sofa bed with a full mattress.
There is a bag next to the sofa with a full set of sheets, a comforter, and two pillows with fresh pillowcases on them

# Bedroom 4 – Is the quietest, it's a medium-sized room but we upgraded to a King bed (based on feedback), and because the room is narrow the right side of the bed is tight, with about a foot of room to walk around. If you are elderly or not very mobile this room is not for you.

Neighborhood highlights

Brush Creek. Just up the road from the rodeo grounds in Garden Valley. Half a mile to the sandy river beach for floating, rafting, kayaking, fishing and wading. We are just past the cute center town of Crouch, over the bridge and past the Rodeo Grounds.

We are on a private road, the cabin sits on 5 acres with lots of trees and great views, it also connects to another 87 acres of forest land that we have above the cabin. This upper property (called Upper Brush Creek) borders hundreds of miles of BLM and National Forest land, including the best access to the well-known Airline Trail. This trail is amazing and will take you all the way up to the lookout at Scott Mountain. The north border of the property is a 500-acre national elk reserve. There's no hunting, so animals are all around if you look for them. LOTS of trails for hiking galore. It really is amazing.

If you would like access to Upper Brush Creek, please text me at two zero eight, two eight three, seven two one six.
