The San Juans are calling.

The kitchen is fully stocked, the WiFi is fast, and the deck sits right above the Rio Grande. It's a comfortable, well-considered space in a town that rewards people who take their time getting there. Come for the river, the fishing, the mountains, or nothing at all.

Hiking Trails
Headwaters Haus is more than a cabin in the mountains, it’s a place rooted in family, adventure, and the slower pace that keeps drawing people back to Creede, Colorado. Tucked along the river in the heart of the San Juan Mountains, the home has long been a gathering place for fly fishing mornings, late-night storytelling, off-road adventures, ski weekends, and summers spent outside from sunrise to sunset.
