Our stay at Above the Clouds in Creede, Colorado offered a truly memorable mountain getaway. The cabin lives up to its name with breathtaking, expansive views that stretch for miles across the San Juan Mountains. We especially loved watching the wildlife—hummingbirds zipped around the deck daily, and deer often wandered through the yard, creating a peaceful and picturesque setting.The cabin itself is beautiful and thoughtfully furnished. The kitchen is well-appointed with everything needed to prepare meals at home, and the living room furniture is very comfortable—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. Its proximity to Creede made it easy to pop into town for shopping, dining, and sightseeing without a long drive.However, there were a few drawbacks that impacted our experience. The beds were extremely firm and uncomfortable for several members of our group. The deck, while offering gorgeous views, is in need of repair or replacement, and the grill was in such poor condition we couldn’t use it. The guest Wi-Fi had heavily restricted speeds—too slow even to stream—which was frustrating at times.Accessibility was also a challenge for the five individuals over age 80 in our group. The current layout makes it difficult for those with limited mobility to enter or exit easily. A walkway from the upper driveway to the deck would make a significant difference and improve accessibility greatly.Overall, Above the Clouds offers a stunning location and a lovely home base for a mountain retreat. With a few updates, this cabin could go from great to exceptional.
