Majestic Mountaintop Retreat! Luxury in a serene setting All seasons family fun

Come experience mountain living at its FINEST in this spacious home at the top of Spruce Mountain. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the San Isabel Mountains from practically every room in the house or look as far as Pikes Peak while exploring the 32 private acres.

This luxurious home is designed for your family or group to have plenty of space to gather together in the main floor great room around the warm stone fireplace, the oversized kitchen island, or in the basement family game room.

You can prepare meals in a chef’s dream kitchen complete with granite counters and a double oven after a day of rafting, hiking, or skiing nearby. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you to enjoy any holiday meal in the 8-person dining room or at the eat-in kitchen table.
While this home allows you to relax in the peace and quiet of nature, we are now connected by Space X to their EXTREMELY high-speed internet as well as a cell phone booster, to allow you to stay connected as needed. This will easily let you to work remotely or continue remote schooling in a beautiful setting. What’s better than being able to social distance at the top of a mountain.

Enjoy a glass of wine on one of the home’s two vast decks while watching the majestic sunset. Afterwards, make your way down to the fire pit to enjoy some s’mores as you star gaze into the astonishing night sky. The area is in the Dark Skies association so you will likely be able to see more stars than you have ever seen before

Let the kids (or the kids at heart) have the sleepover of their dreams in the bunkroom and hang out with our house mascot Moosey. The kids can camp out in this double bunk bed room that sleeps four. This house would work well for a group of couples as the three other bedrooms all include comfortable king size beds.

The home is located only 10 minutes from the U.S. top white-water rafting area in the Arkansas river. Enjoy a family-friendly raft trip with Arkansas River Tours or be adventurous on Class 5 rapids with the Rock-N-Row guides. Both of these highly-rated guide companies are conveniently located in Cotopaxi.

You can enjoy a beautiful drive along the Arkansas River over to the Monarch Ski Resort. Monarch offers lower costs and significantly lower crowds compared to the ski resorts closer to Denver but has slopes for all levels from beginners to experts. Monarch is also known for being one of the most family-friendly resorts in the state. Don’t forget about the snow tubing park that Monarch just opened up.

No matter if you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime or a relaxing get away, this home provides the amenities, location, and space to make it to happen. Our family loves to escape the hustle & bustle at this home, and we would love to share that with your family or group as well. We love that with just a short drive we can hit the ski slopes, hike the trails, enjoy a beautiful horseback ride in the mountains, or visit the Royal Gorge. Please let us know how we can accommodate your group in this beautiful secret area of Colorado.

Fantastic views and spacious home
We enjoyed our stay as the views and the home itself did not disappoint. It's a bit of a drive off the main highway, but it's worth it for the view. We would recommend if you are looking for a mountain getaway.

Perfect Mountain Getaway Spectacular Views
The views are indescribable, pictures cannot do them justice! The home is spacious and well stocked with everything you need. Beds are super comfy! We had plenty of space for our family of seven and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Quiet and peaceful. Loved the firepit and exploring the beautiful surroundings. If you want to get away from it all for a few days, this is the one for you!

One of the best VRBO stays
It’s hard to beat the views and the house was fantastic. Pro tip: don’t wear shoes in the house otherwise you’ll get shocked by everything you touch. It’s a good way to keep the floors clean lol

Colorado Christmas
We are avid VRBO’ers and this is by far the most beautiful view we’ve ever had. The property is absolutely beautiful and very well stocked. Between the gorgeous views and Christmas Eve snow we felt like we were in a Hallmark Christmas movie! It’s conveniently located between Monarch Mountain and the Royal Gorge, both directions are gorgeous drives. Seriously enjoyed ourselves! My only complaint is that our pictures don’t do it justice!

Thanksgiving with a crew
We had a great stay at this out of the way property. House was loaded with all the essentials and had a great selection of spices. The views were spectacular. The road up is in good shape(dirt), even after about 6 inches of snow we were able to get up and down the mountain, albeit carefully. Overall great!

Spring Break getaway
The drive up the mountain was exciting! The view from the house is worth the drive! The house was beautiful and we loved the fireplace. Ben & Traci are very attentive hosts and easy to get a hold of. Very well stocked home throughout, we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable & relaxing. We can't wait to go back in the summer and see what new adventures we will find then.
