Set on the banks of the Eagle River in the historic mountain town of Red Cliff, this inviting 2-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy true Colorado living. Thoughtfully updated with new front and rear siding, all new windows, and a metal roof installed in 2018, the property combines classic mountain character with meaningful improvements. The setting is the standout — step outside to the river's edge, gather around the fire pit under the stars, and immerse yourself in the natural beauty that surrounds you. Adventure begins right out your door, with immediate access to some of the area's most sought-after trail systems, including Shrine Pass, Vail Pass, and Camp Hale. With flexibility for future expansion, the potential for a lock-off configuration, or even possible commercial use, this property presents a compelling opportunity as a mountain retreat, full-time home, or income-producing investment.

Live on the Eagle River for less than renting in this charming 2-bedroom cabin. Located just 10 miles from Vail, the quintessential Colorado town of Red Cliff is home base of Vail's 2 most popular UTV trailheads - Shrine Pass to Vail Pass, and Camp Hale. This home is perfect getaway, home or rental property, complete with fire pit to relax on the banks of the river. Just painted and owner did major projects around 2008 - all new electrical system, new siding, insulation, updates to foundation, furnace, plus new metal roof around 2018. Potential opportunities to expand, add lock-off, or even commercial space as well.
