About this property

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.

The views are amazing. We were on top of the world!
So many extras and supplies, kitchen extras and really all comforts of home. Views and hiking the 32 acres kept us entertained when not exploring Westcliffe or Salida or surrounding mountains. We really loved this area! Only negative was a faulty Wifi which made iit problematic for those who needed for work zoom calls etc. All efforts from our host owners and local support couldn’t fix but I’m sure it will be remedied soon. We would return to this beautiful property!!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Ben & Tracie Gurtler

Host profile image
Hello! We are a young family that fell in love with this home, and would love to share it's beauty and the secret beauty of the area with others.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the area and its people first, with wonderful amenities in both directions of the home. Then this home took our breathe away with its instagram worthy views. Believe me you will just want to stand and stare in every direction. And finally the home was BEAUTIFULLY remodelled recently and we knew others whether looking for a quiet, and peaceful escape or an outdoor adventure would love this home.

What makes this property unique

This is our family's personal vacation home, so we have included quality amenities that we ourselves will use when visiting. This is also our only rental property, so unlike some major companies who service 100's of homes our guests have our sole attention and the enjoyment of their stay is our top priority.
