Creekside Mornings, Star-Filled Nights
Nestled in an aspen grove at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, A Creek Runs Through It is a private luxury log home with panoramic views of Spread Eagle Peak. It sits inside a gated mountain community just 15 to 20 minutes from downtown Westcliffe, with the Rainbow Trail reachable on foot from the neighborhood.
Whether you're coming for hiking, brilliant fall color, quiet mornings by the creek, or simply a few days to slow down, every detail has been thoughtfully curated for a true Colorado mountain escape.
"Like stepping into a Hallmark movie."
Our story
A Rare Place We Love to Share
We stumbled upon A Creek Runs Through It in 2021 and immediately knew we had found something rare. The home was built from substantial Engelmann spruce logs using traditional Swedish coping, and positioned to take in Spread Eagle Peak, the Rainbow Trail and the creek running through the property.
We love hiking, mountain biking, skiing and exploring Colorado, and we genuinely love hosting. We believe the details matter: a comfortable home, thoughtful touches, local recommendations and a place that feels cared for rather than simply rented.

Gorgeous, views to die for, secluded and secure. I would say exclusive.
