New! Perfect Summer Cottage, Min. from Buena Vista, adjacent to National Forest!

One of a kind property that you will not find anywhere else! Wild west meets rustic comfort and mountain adventure!
Beautiful, accommodating, 2 bedroom cottage that sleeps up to 6 people. Fully stocked kitchen amenities with bar top and large deck with picnic tables.
This property is built on the historical McGee's Station where the narrow gauge railroad station, water tank, and telegraph office were built that served travelers to the Leadville mining boom in 1880's. There is 30+ acres of private property that is adjacent to many miles of National Forest. The rebuilt buildings and station layout, is specifically designed to take you back to the 1880's and when the west was still wild! This ongoing re-construction is a living museum for you and your family can enjoy! Only 10 min from Buena Vista and easy highway access is a perfect staging spot for many of the outdoor adventures we have in the area. There are no neighbors next door, abundant wildlife on the property and nearby, and Trout Creek runs through the property. Enjoy, whitewater rafting, fishing, hiking, stream, 4x4 and atv trails, miles of NF roads, minutes from the property. You can visit Buena Vista for shopping, restaurants, and many festivals throughout the summer.

Pleasant cottage with mice on busy highway
The cottage itself was comfortable, with a good size master bedroom, large walk-in closet, small bathroom with shower/tub. The kitchen was very serviceable and stocked with paper towels, napkins, salt and pepper, and the cooking and eating utensils were serviceable. (The refrigerator froze all the food at first, but responded to turning down the thermostat.) The upstairs had one bedroom with two beds and two beds in the hallway overlooking the downstairs. The bathroom upstairs had a shower that was only 3 feet high due to the slope roof. There was no sound insulation between the first and second floors - the ceiling of the first floor was the floor boards of the second. We saw two live mice and two dead ones, and heard the scurrying and gnawing of more. The property manager put out three traps, which were clearly insufficient to address the problem. A large deck had a nice view of the area, but the deck was completely peeled or peeling, with popped nails and splintered wood. The view of Mount Princeton in the distance was partially obscured by a fence and bush that presumably were there to screen the dilapidated "river boat" that was one of the structures on the property. All of these other structures were completed boarded up, with a warning to not investigate. The property is directly in a curve of a busy highway, so there are constant traffic sounds on two sides, which are heard inside and out. On the plus side, it is only 10-15 minutes outside of Buena Vista, a lovely town with good restaurants and shopping. Hiking trails and many recreational opportunities abound in the area.

One of our more interesting stays
Overall we had a very nice stay here. But we had never stayed at former museum/tourist attraction before. It’s a huge property, 30 acres located on an old section of abandoned railroad. It’s about 9 miles from buena vista so you know you’re out a way. Definitely could feel some of the history. It was kind of hot the two nights we stayed and there is no air conditioning. I found out that a/c isn’t as common in mountain properties. But it’s clean and lots of amenities. It was nice to have a place where we could walk around a bit.

Stay at the Cottage
We had some issues with entering the property and contacting the property manager but he was very understanding and accommodating. We would happily stay there again. It was a great place to rest and it was close to Buena Vista and our activities.
