Forest Retreat | Fire Pit & S'mores

**A TRUE MOUNTAIN GETAWAY | AS FEATURED ON STAYCATION**

Imagine waking up surrounded by towering pines and aspens, enjoying your morning coffee on a covered front porch, and watching deer wander through the property. The air is crisp, the surroundings are peaceful, and the mountains are right outside your door.

Welcome to Aspen Springs Angel Fire — 10 beautifully remodeled, standalone cabins nestled on 12 wooded acres bordering Carson National Forest. Here, you'll experience the privacy and natural beauty of a mountain retreat with the comforts and personalised hospitality of a boutique resort.

Best of all? You're just 8 minutes from Angel Fire Resort, restaurants, skiing, and activities, yet surrounded by the peace and seclusion of the forest.

As featured on the travel television series *Staycation*, Aspen Springs offers a memorable mountain getaway in every season.

**YOUR CABIN | BEAUTIFULLY REMODELED & THOUGHTFULLY APPOINTED**

Your approximately 768-square-foot cabin combines the warmth of a mountain retreat with modern comforts and upscale furnishings. No shared walls, no crowded hallways — just your own inviting cabin among the trees.

• **King Bedroom:** Premium Sleep Number king bed with adjustable firmness, heated mattress pad, luxurious linens, and cosy bedding.

• **Separate Bunk Room:** Two twin beds arranged as bunks, offering comfortable additional sleeping space.

• **Sleeps 4 in Beds:** Optional air mattress available for a fifth guest.

• **Comfortable Living Area:** Leather furnishings, electric fireplace, Smart TV, and dining space.

• **Beautifully Equipped Kitchen:** Stainless steel appliances, quartz worktops, full-size refrigerator, stove and oven, microwave, quality cookware, dishes, and utensils.

• **Thoughtful Extras:** Air conditioning, heating, heated towel warmer, plush dressing gowns, premium toiletries, lavender pillow spray, and complimentary chocolates awaiting you on the bed.

• **Covered Front Porch:** Your own place to slow down, sip coffee, enjoy the mountain air, and take in the wooded surroundings.

We also provide complimentary premium coffee, tea, hot chocolate, creamers, sweeteners, basic spices, olive oil, and everyday kitchen essentials.

**12 WOODED ACRES | EXPERIENCE THE MOUNTAINS WITHOUT LEAVING THE PROPERTY**

One of the most special things about Aspen Springs is that the mountain experience begins right outside your cabin, no matter the season.

Wildlife is part of everyday life here. Deer regularly wander through the grounds, sometimes grazing or resting near the cabins, while wild turkeys frequently make their way among the trees. Keep your eyes open for other mountain wildlife, and enjoy birdwatching and the sounds of nature throughout the property.

In spring and summer, enjoy a quiet morning on your porch, relax in a hammock beneath the aspens, explore the wooded grounds, or prepare dinner on one of our outdoor propane grills. Spend time outside enjoying mountain breezes, yard games, and the peaceful surroundings.

Autumn brings golden aspens, crisp mountain air, and beautiful foliage throughout the property and surrounding mountains.

When winter arrives, Aspen Springs transforms into a snowy mountain wonderland. Children and adults can enjoy snow play and our on-site sledding hill, with complimentary sleighs available for guests. Step outside your cabin to make snow angels, build a snowman, or enjoy the magic of winter among the pines.

There's something wonderful about having all this outdoor space to enjoy without getting in your car.

*Snow activities depend on natural snowfall and weather conditions.*

**CARSON NATIONAL FOREST | YOUR ADVENTURE STARTS HERE**

Aspen Springs borders Carson National Forest, with direct access to the Lady Slipper Trail from the back of our property.

Step out for a peaceful forest walk, explore the trails, watch for birds and wildlife, or enjoy the beauty of the southern Rocky Mountains without driving to a trailhead.

Whether you're visiting for hiking, mountain biking, fall foliage, snowy adventures, or simply a quiet escape, our wooded setting makes it easy to connect with nature.

**THE CAVE, FIRE PIT & S'MORES | MORE THAN JUST A CABIN**

Your cabin is just the beginning of the Aspen Springs experience.

All registered guests have access to The Cave, our approximately 1,000-square-foot recreation lounge. Challenge someone to shuffleboard, enjoy board games, settle in for a film on our 85-inch Smart TV with complimentary streaming entertainment, or visit our s'mores bar.

Outside, gather around our signature shared fire pit for complimentary nightly s'mores, conversation, and memorable evenings beneath the mountain sky. Whether you've spent the day skiing, hiking, or simply relaxing, the fire pit is a wonderful place to unwind.

Together, The Cave and outdoor gathering spaces give you even more ways to enjoy your mountain getaway — something beyond the comforts of your own cabin.

The Cave is shared by registered guests and is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.

**BOUTIQUE HOSPITALITY | THE ASPEN SPRINGS DIFFERENCE**

At Aspen Springs Angel Fire, you enjoy the independence of your own standalone cabin along with the personal attention of an on-site host.

Our guest services and concierge team are here to make your stay comfortable and easy, whether that's answering questions, providing local recommendations, or delivering requested extras to your cabin.

We offer complimentary equipment loans, including sleighs, snowshoes, fishing poles, tennis and pickleball equipment, and more.

Need a blender, slow cooker, speciality coffee maker, Pack 'n Play, or booster seat? Ask about our available guest extras.

From premium bedding and beautifully stocked kitchens to the little surprises awaiting your arrival, we've taken care of the details so you can spend more time enjoying your holiday.

Perfect Mountain Getaway

The property is modern, clean, and surrounded by trees. This was my second stay here and I've seen deer both times right outside the cabin. The kitchen is supplied with all that is needed and the bed is extremely comfortable. The property management is easy to contact and extremely helpful when needed. I can't wait to come back!

Cool Getaway

A two day trip to escape the Texas heat! Cabin did not disappoint……recently renovated, great location in a very pretty setting in the mountains. Quiet with plenty of close-up encounters with deer and Oreo the cat! Will definitely rebook in the future. Cabin would be ideal for leaf peepers in the fall and golfers playing at Angel Fire.

Little Piece of Forest

Our experience was great! The location was perfect. We saw a herd of deer every morning. We walked the short path to get to the Slipper head Trail.The property manager responded in a timely manner when I messaged her about s'mores. The fire pit was awesome on a cold night after skiing all day.The cabin was clean and had plenty of ammenities. I highly recommend staying here. We want to plan another trip in the spring.

Home run!

The cabin was very nice and clean and the views were beautiful. The hammock is a nice touch. Enjoyed seeing the deer, birds, and the cute cats. I have one idea for the cabins. Since Oreo and Ghost like to visit I think the cabins should have cat treats in them so we have something to give them besides wheat thins. 🙂

Modern Glamping!

A beautiful, modern retreat! The kitchen was fully stocked with every pot, pan, plate, and spatula we could need—truly a home away from home.The campsite was just a scenic 7-minute drive from town, yet it felt perfectly secluded, exactly what we were looking for.A few things to keep in mind:-The pillows are quite thick, which may not suit everyone, but we were glad to have our travel pillows.-The showerhead had a relaxing rain feature, though the water pressure wasn’t quite strong enough for a thorough rinse.These are minor details that may vary by cabin and are easily adjustable. Overall, a fantastic stay—enjoy, y'all!

We had a group of 20 adults and 13 children, so rented out all 10 cabins over the 4th weekend. The kids loved exploring and playing on the property and particularly enjoyed the “cave” main lobby. It was stocked with all sorts of games and toys and the fan favorite smore supplies. We all loved having our own space with a central area were we could gather. We’re already talking about our next adventure at Aspen Springs!

Quaint Cabin in the Woods

This is a very nice modern cabin. We stayed in November, and it was quiet and cool. The amenities were great. Communication with the property host was great. There are a couple of concerns, 1) the water pressure in the shower is not great, and 2) we are not a fan of the Sleep Number mattress.

Into the Woods

We were very pleased with our stay at The Retreat at Angel Fire. The cabins were nice and clean. The custom handmade soap and other perishables were such a nice touch. The water pressure and temperature provided the best shower ever, especially after a day of driving or outdoor activities. The location was lovely: proximity to ‘downtown’ Angel Fire was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed being able to walk from our Cabin to hop on the Lady Slipper Trail. The service and regular communication with the property manager was top notch. We were texted each day to see if our trash needed to be picked up or if we needed anything. It was truly a retreat.

A Fine Angel Fire Experience

The property needs updating and that seems to be in process. For the price, it was very good. We would have liked a washer and dryer and assumed that all VRBO properties had one as all the others we stayed at did. The bed was very comfortable. We liked the quality of the linens. Aly, the manager was absolutely delightful and very responsive to any request. She gets the highest marks.

Great Place To Stay

We were in Angel Fire in late March, so the town was quiet, but our cabin was perfect for our family. Clean and nice. Wifi was good for streaming at night. There are a lot of deer passing through the property all day long which really adds to the experience. I have to come back to Angel Fire a few more times in the next 6 weeks and I'll be booking here again soon.
