Your Cabin isn’t just a cabin—it’s your gateway to Colorado fun. Grimes Creek offers something in every season:
Summer adventures
Summer brings blue skies and full trails.
Spend your mornings hiking or biking local trails, afternoons kayaking or paddleboarding on Vallecito Lake, and evenings grilling dinner outside your cabin.
Fishing is especially popular this time of year, with plenty of opportunities steps from your cabin.
