Brown Bear Cozy Cabin

Rafting the Rio Grande

Hiking and biking through the Aspens is fabulous in the Fall!

We enjoy all the winter sports here, such as skiing and snowboarding (5 minute drive away), cross-country skiing and snowshoeing.

There are fabulous hikes in our area, including several beautiful lakes in the Wheeler Peak wilderness area. It is possible to summit Wheeler Peak (13,159') and make it back in one day.

Description

We live in the tiny mountain village of Angel Fire with only about 1,000 people. The town is at 8,500 ft. Our home is in a quiet neighborhood, on a dirt road, with a pull-through dirt driveway. We are tucked away in the middle of a Ponderosa pine forest and we frequently have elk, deer, turkeys, owls and bear meandering through our property. The dark night skies and stars are absolutely fabulous here.

House Rules

No smoking on property.
No generators.
Quiet hours when it is dark.

Access Road Conditions

The highways to get to our house and very curvy and windy making towing a vehicle more difficult. Also, we live on a rough dirt road with many potholes, and during winter our road is often hard-packed snow. We are at a high altitude of 8,500' in the Southern Rocky Mountains. Heavy snow is common here Dec.-Apr., so please watch weather forecasts carefully and plan accordingly. In the winter, snow tires or 4WD vehicles are recommended. We have an unpaved (dirt) pull-through driveway.

Tow Vehicle Parking Details

Tow vehicle can be parked in the pull-through driveway. The driveway is dirt.

Great stay in Angel Fire!

Such a quiet little retreat with a beautiful landscape. We didn't see the owners until the second day. Which was fine for us. The lot was level and such a tranquil getaway.

Brown Bear Cozy Cabin

We arrived exhausted and the peace and quiet here were wonderful. The pull-through driveway worked well. We did not meet our hosts who had advised they would be out and home late, and we left early next day. Also, our plans for the second night changed. However, their emails to us were very friendly and welcoming.
