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.

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.

Family of 10

We have stayed in a bunch of VRBO’s, but this place takes 1st prize! Perfect for our family/extended family get together. I personally loved the winding, gravel road up to the top of this mountain from Cotopaxi. About 9500 ft above! I’ve already recommended it to several people back here in Mn. Thanks Ben…just an absolutely awesome place!!

Top of mountain cabin

House was wonderful. Nice to have 3 king size beds and a bunk room. Kitchen was large and amply equipped. Powered blinds and good sunblocking blinds a definite plus. Fire pit was the best we ever had seen. Cabin is at 9200ft which gave us some awesome views. Except for.the steep winding dirt road to get there, it was perfect.

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

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.

Beautiful home with spectacular views

We loved the location of this home. The views were amazing. The house is very well equipped. We appreciated since the drive to a store is 30 minutes plus. The house set up is great for families. We had our two sons and their wives with us. Perfect set up. The owners were very responsive to our questions. Would definitely stay here again.

The Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway

We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home with family for Thanksgiving week. The accommodations, while depicted beautifully on-line, were even more stunning in person. The kitchen was well-appointed, the bedrooms were extremely comfortable. The decor of the home was terrific as well. We had breath-taking views from the house: the stars at night and the mountain range during the day, punctuated by a beautiful snowfall Thanksgiving evening that were all post-card perfect. The fly fishing just down the mountain on the Arkansas river was amazing. The hosts were gracious, and we look forward to another visit.

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.
