Nestled in the trees, this three bedroom, two bath lodge is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts and families with kids and dogs. Built to blend in with the mountains, this authentic mountain home has year round views that can be enjoyed from almost every room. Enter the vaulted ceiling living room, naturally lit by the huge floor to ceiling windows and enhanced by an open-concept layout. This is an entertainer's delight, with open flow from the living room to the kitchen to the dining room, each with unobstructed views of the outdoor landscape.



The living room is furnished with two seating areas, one with a couch that faces the windows and the other two chairs are seated next to the stove fireplace with a small bookcase. For extra comfort, there’s cozy blankets next to the couch, so cuddle up with your loved ones while enjoying the wonderful cabin ambiance. The A-frame living room naturally flows into the dining area, where a live edge 8-person dining table is centered under an antler chandelier. The dining room enjoys easy access to the kitchen and to the outdoor grill that can be reached easily through the slider.



Following the flow of the layout leads to a spacious and open kitchen, stocked with everything you need to have the feast of your dreams. This open, modern kitchen has many of your favorite amenities, including a coffee maker. There’s plenty of cabinet and counter space, including a center island with built in drawers. Coffee fanatics will appreciate the assortment of options to make the perfect brew or coco, including multi-flavored coffee grounds, sugar, creamer, syrups, and mini marshmallows.



The first bedroom is bathed in natural light, with surrounding views of the mountain range from each window. The queen-sized bedroom has been made with hotel-grade linens and pillows. Also in the bedroom is a reading chair, matching side tables, a potted plant, and two hanging lamps. There are outlets located on either side of the bed for your convenience. The ultimate place to unwind after a long day of outdoor activities, is the spa-like bathroom across the hallway. The marble-tiled standing shower looks straight out of a Reader's Digest magazine and the immaculate granite countertops look like they’ve been cut from the majestic mountains nearby.



Upstairs leads to a loft area where guests can stream one of the many apps on the large 65-inch flat screen, play one of the many board games available, or just enjoy some privacy away from the rest of the house. Even at the highest level, the angular unconformity of the ceilings make the room feel spacious and the large a-frame windows bring in tons of natural light. There’s also a small linen closet that holds extra blankets and sheets.



Down the stairs from the main level, you’ll find another game room and more sleeping arrangements. Team up and play a competitive game of foosball while enjoying more mountain views from the windows. One of the bedrooms downstairs is perfect for kids or teens, with a fun, tree-house style bunk bed. The bottom bunk is a full-sized bed and the top is a twin, and each has been made with matching bedding and plush pillows. A stunning mountain mural has been painted on one side of the wall.



The third and final bedroom has another full-sized bed and is similarly styled like the first bedroom, with matching bedside tables, lamps, and beautiful Colorado art hung above the bed. Keep the curtains open and wake up to a magical mountain morning.



Across the hallway, is a full sized bathroom with a lavish-looking shower/bath combo. Generously stocked with plenty of bath towels, hand towels, soaps, tissues, and makeup removing rags.



The beautiful outdoor area will most likely be where you spend most of your leisure time. The wrap-around deck can be accessed from multiple points and enhances the undeniable beauty of the mountain views. Patio furniture and a grill can help create memorable outdoor meals with your family or group of friends. Under the deck is a lovely porch swing so you can enjoy the backdrop from almost anywhere.
