I'd like to go on vacation somewhere in the American west (Colorado,
California, Nevada, etc.).  In particular, I would like for there to
be a small cottage with minimal utilities (for example, running water
is a plus, but a nearby stream with good water will also work;
electricity would be good, but not absolutely necessary).  The
requirements are:

1) Very isolated location: no people nearby, except for possible
incidental hikers, etc.

2) In the mountains.

3) Running water a plus, but isolation is more important.  Same for electricity.

4) A cave nearby would be great.

5) Some town or settlement within 5-10 miles would be perfect, but
ideally not closer than 5 miles.

6) I will be on vacation alone, and probably for one month and during the summer.

So, the question is:

Where can I find a company or individual that would rent such a
cottage to me for one month?  Producing one or more specific such
company or individual would be ideal.

Thanks!

Thanks, Red!  I'll call the numbers on the page to see if it'll work.
