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.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We’ve been coming to the Creede area for 8 years and this was our first experience staying up on Bachelor Loop. This property is easy to get to from downtown, about 10-15min, located down the road to Last Chance Mine. The views are spectacular with nothing but mountains and trees. We felt secluded, but with the easy access to town it was nice to go grab dinner each night in town. We did a ton of mountain biking on this trip and being up on Bachelor Loop we were right next to the trails. It was kind of like a ride in ride out trip not having to load our gear into the truck each day. Hosts were great, place has Wi-Fi that allowed me to do a few zoom meetings and place was super clean. Definitely would stay here again.

It was a beautiful, peaceful stay. We can't wait to go back.

    We just started coming to Southwest CO a few years ago and we can’t stop coming. It’s a long drive for us but it is so beautiful here. This is by far the nicest cabin we have stayed at. So open, great views, comfy furniture, gorgeous interior, quiet, secluded but not too far from food, gas, and fun. Lots of wildlife. So many things to do in this area. Hike, bike, drive, off-road, rock hunting, historic landmarks. The list goes on. Rio Grande reservoir was a great scenic drive. Everyone in Creede know you are not local but are all extremely friendly. Not all CO mountain towns are like that. Just stay here, don’t hesitate, you’ll love it.

Metal work was superb and really adds charm. We had two resident moose that thrilled our 9 year old. The house had everything we needed and was very comfortable.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: In a classic old western where the bad guys have a hideout in a very beautiful, isolated place. To me, that’s what the Amethyst Hideaway is. If you’re looking for peace and quiet - this is the place. From entry gate to every detail of the cabin, a scenic restful spot!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place is truly one of a kind. It's easy to access - close to town but feels a million miles away - you can't see or hear anyone else. The view is to die for with a whole wall of windows to enjoy from. The inside is beautiful and very well appointed, as expected. But it's the metalwork...From the lasercut gate and railings, custom metal artwork and very unique metal countertops, the owners have created something special to enjoy. The Amethyst is an artistic masterpiece and truly feels like a (posh) step back into the old west.
