Platte River Cabins
Situated at Platte River's Edge in the midst of the White Pines River Resort, each of the company's cabins allows you to fish just outside your door. Platte River boasts five luxurious lodgings with modern amenities, including hot tubs in two of the cabins, as well as gas grills. However, the dwellings do not come with any TVs, as the purpose of the cabins, as Platte River's website suggests, is to take you away from it all.
The cabins offer several different packages that include massages, as well as flowers and a bottle of champagne for couples looking for a romantic getaway. Lodges are equipped with various-sized kitchens, bathrooms and sleeping accommodations for at least two people.

Call of the Canyon Cabins
At the base of Mt. Evans in Colorado, the Call of the Canyon Cabins sit surrounded by activities and parks. Built in 1950, each of these cabins offers a queen-sized bed, a kitchen, a bathroom and a fireplace, as well as a large assortment of puzzles and games as an alternative to television and video games. Several amenities also come with each cabin; a microwave, stove, refrigerator and coffeemaker in every kitchen and soaps, bathrobes and showers in every bathroom.
The views from each of the two cabins--Pine Cabin and Fir Cabin--consist of a rushing creek, large rocks and tall pine trees. While Pine Cabin comes with a private sauna, Fir Cabin provides a dining area near the kitchen.

Bear Creek Cabins
Nestled among the forest and mere feet away from Bear Creek, these cabins offer enough room for three adults or a family composed of two adults and two children. Accommodations include a kitchen with a refrigerator, stove and dishware; a bathroom with a tub and a shower; queen beds, twin beds, and love seats. Bear Creek Cabins allow your pet to spend the vacation in the cabin with you for a fee.
Situated around the eight cabins, picnic tables and grills allow you to partake in an outdoor lunch or dinner while viewing the forest scenery near a bustling creek. When you're finished with the daytime activities, which includes rafting and golf, you can cozy up next to the fireplace or take a hot bath.
