Historic Mountain House close to skiing & outdoor adventures

The original home built in 1935 has been added on and updated. The great room features a wall of windows with a great view of the mountains and a wood-burning stove. The floors a bit uneven in spots and there is only one bathroom, with a small shower. Large fenced back yard with hot tub and fire pit (pending fire ban). We have tried to create a tranquil mountain retreat to enjoy nature and get away from the hustle of everyday life.

Cozy place, gorgeous view!
Came from Michigan for a Red Rocks concert and this cabin was the perfect cozy and comfortable stay with beautiful mountains in view. We saw a group of big horn sheep a half mile from the cabin!

This was one of the best VRBO's I've stayed at. Super clean, nicely decorated and complete with all the amenities you could need. The owner's have thought of everything. Super fast internet, comfortable bed and a really good hot tub. The neighborhood was very quiet (which to me was a good thing). Sitting on the deck enjoying the views and listening to the wildlife was just what this city slicker needed. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property!

Snowboard Trip
Had a great stay overall. The place is beautiful has great amenities. My only complaint is the level of cleaning required for checkout when I’m already paying for a cleaning fee. Doing dishes by hand, emptying the ashes in the fireplace, treating the hottub with chemicals after use. I just feel like if I’m paying all this money for a cleaning fee that stuff should not be my job. That being said the place was beautiful and very nice. The owners provided a lot of extras as well.

Ski touring Jones Pass
Property was wonderful. Great space and the fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs. The fire pit, outside game space and hot tub were also great for apres ski. Big living room for relaxing. The house is tight for 5 or 6 adults with only one bath. Perfect for four adults or a family of 5 or 6.
