No weddings, large events or parties are permitted on the property. The maximum occupancy for this home is 12 guests.
No ATV's are permitted on the property. 4-wheel drive required (November-March).
Upon entering the home, you will be welcomed into the open concept living area, your jaw will drop. Like a rustic yet elegant cathedral, the sitting area soars two stories high, showcasing a back wall of windows that frame a breathtaking view of the Rockies. A dramatic open staircase supported by towering timbers climbs to a loft bedroom above that shares the view. Ample leather seating is bathed in the light of the windows and enjoys the warmth of a nearby fireplace. A wall-mounted TV stands to the side and a door leads to the outdoor living space.
Flowing from the sitting area into the dining/kitchen area, you’ll find a dining table for 8 and a gigantic granite breakfast island with stools for 5. A warm, inviting and spacious kitchen provides every convenience for preparing loving home meals, including a suite of stainless steel appliances: a French door refrigerator, range, microwave, and dishwasher. You’ll make good use of the coffee maker, toaster, tea kettle, cooking utensils, cutting boards, and a complete set of chef’s knives.
Standing on opposite sides of the open concept living area, you’ll find spacious bedrooms with king-size beds, TVs, large closets, and sliding glass doors with mountain views leading to a house-hugging deck, each side with outdoor seating for two. One bedroom features a luxurious en suite bath with a soaking tub, oversized shower stall, 2-sink vanity, and a discreet closed-door alcove for the toilet. The second bedroom is served by a large, attractive bath with a shower/tub combo and a vanity with generous counter space. The deck here leads directly to the outdoor hot tub.
One or two lucky guests will stay in the loft bedroom atop the grand staircase, where an iron railed balcony allows the room’s occupants to share the views and light of the living area’s two-story windows. It’s a spacious but cozy space with a peaked, knotty pine-paneled ceiling and dormer windows, plus a king-size bed and TV.
A lower level provides even more living space for big groups of up to 12, including a large family room with a plush L-shaped sofa and chairs centered before a jumbo TV, with a new surround sound system to enjoy your favorite movies and sports- plus a table for 4, perfect for games or casual meals. Two bedrooms occupy this level, one with a king-size bed, TV, and sliding glass doors leading onto a private furnished patio. The second bedroom is perfect for kids, with two sets of bunk beds sleeping a total of 4. Guests on this level are served by a bath with a shower/tub combo.
A laundry room on the main level provides a full-size washer and dryer for your convenience.
Behind the home, a clearing provides a wide, glorious view of the mountains, which can be enjoyed from several vantage points. A brick-floor, fresh-air living area is furnished with a plush L-shaped sofa and two dining tables. Al fresco meals can be prepared on the deck, where a large grill is at your disposal. Steps away, a wide brick circle is the setting for a firepit. Just outside one of the bedrooms, a hot tub will accommodate at least 4.
Hotel-grade linens are professionally laundered after every visit. This home is managed by a local vacation rental specialist, and there’s a sense of quality and care that’s worthy of your 5-star review.
