Cottonwood is a split level cabin. The primary cabin used to be the old Cottonwood Lakes post office at the turn of the century. It was moved (by horse train) to it's current location around 1920. The addition was built on site, as was the quartz fireplace. The aging owner, Alma Cowgill handbuilt the fireplace after being unimpressed with the masons initial attempts.

Though smaller than Hortense, most people find that Cottonwood has a certain magic you can't quite put your finger on.

Cottonwood is about 15 minutes from Buena Vista, and 20 minutes from Salida. Chalk Creek Canyon lies between Mt. Antero and Mt. Princeton. The Colorado Trail is 100 feet from the front door. Hortense is about 75 feet away.
