Description Description
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.

Secluded and amazing views
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.
Gregory G. from Altoona - Posted: 7/19/2025
Thank you so much for the wonderful and detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that your first stay up on Bachelor Loop was such a positive experience. It’s great that the location offered both the seclusion of the mountains and the convenience of being close to town. Sounds like a dream setup for mountain biking, too—ride in, ride out! We're glad the Wi-Fi worked well for your Zoom meetings and that the property met your expectations for cleanliness and comfort. We’d love to welcome you back for your next Creede adventure!

For Everyone
This cabin is for everyone. It’s up in the mountains but the roads are so well maintained it’s very easy to get to. We came late May which had minimal to no snow. Driveway was really the only steep part the AWD was needed. Clean, new, very spacious cabin. Comfortable updated furniture. There were so many nice properties in this area you never felt like you had to worry about “the neighbors”. We’ve stayed in other cabins in other states where locals don’t like you are in their hood. People are very nice here and friendly to tourists. Gas, food and supplies not far to town. Every road off the highway 30 mi north or 30 mi south is worth exploring. No host bothering you or hovering over you at the cabin...we avoid those. Just you, the cabin, and the wilderness. We felt very comfortable here. The cabin finishes are very beautiful and artistic. Spotless toilet and shower. The name is fitting for this beautiful gem! So thankful we got to stay here for a week hope everyone else has as much fun as we did:)
Carrie N. from Omaha - Posted: 6/6/2025
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful review! We're so happy to hear that you felt comfortable and truly at ease during your stay. It means a lot to know you appreciated the peaceful setting, the well-maintained access, and the design and cleanliness of the cabin—we’ve put a lot of care into creating a space that feels welcoming and serene. We’re also glad the location gave you the perfect mix of privacy and convenience, and it’s wonderful to hear you explored the area and felt the warmth of the local community. That’s exactly the experience we hope every guest has. You were a pleasure to host, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime. Thanks again for choosing the Sky Cabin!

Exceptional
We were excited to see 2 bears our first day at the cabin. Although off-grid and secluded, the cabin had all the needed amenities. It was a beautiful, peaceful stay. We can't wait to go back.

Last chance retreat
Beautiful house and location. We enjoyed the property and spent most time hiking in the area. 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.
John G. from Albuquerque - Posted: 10/14/2024
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad you enjoyed the house, its charm, and the beautiful location for hiking. How exciting to have seen a moose during your stay—what a special experience for your 9-year-old! We’re happy the home had everything you needed and was comfortable for your visit. We’d love to host you again! -Erika

“The Getaway”
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!

Stunning hideaway
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.
