Alpine Lake Haus - A Peaceful Lakefront Cabin with Amazing Views! 🏔

Welcome to our Alpine Lake Haus, a log cabin situated on the shores of Lake Quivira just below St. Mary’s Glacier. Only an hour from downtown Denver, but feels like a world away! Perfect for family fun, cozy couples, hikers, girls weekend, folks who fish, snowshoe or other activities for up to 6 guests!

This open concept, two level 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom cabin has all the amenities that you need to create a memorable vacation with family or friends.

Relax and enjoy the view from most every window or go out and hike the breathtaking trails that surround the area. The trailhead to head up to the Glacier is steps away and the hike itself is ¾ mile each way. Head beyond the glacier to James Peak if you are up for the challenge of a 13,000 ft peak.

-- The property --

A well equipped kitchen welcomes you to create any meal your chef’s heart desires. Bring your groceries and creativity and whip up a meal to remember!

The dining table seats six comfortably for mealtimes and evening card games. The nearby island has three barstools if you like to spread out.

Stretch out on the nearby cozy couch to watch a movie, read a book or snuggle with your person.

When it’s time for rest – we have you covered. The master bedroom has a king sized bed and is located on the main floor with a bathroom just outside. The view from the master bed makes it hard to get out of bed in the morning!

Head upstairs for two more bedrooms and a bathroom. There are queen sized beds in both bedrooms and fabulous views to take in from each window.

Nestled between the upstairs bedrooms is a loft with a small tv and game area for kids or those that need some time away from the group.

-- The Location --

In the spring, summer and fall - you can fish with a private fishing badge and enjoy a beautiful hike to St. Mary's Glacier. In the winter, you will switch to snow shoes and enjoy the Glacier totally snow covered! Any time of the year - we know you will enjoy your quiet stay here in St. Mary's!

-- Notes --

Absolutely perfect

The entire package is absolutely amazing. Starting with Patti, her communication is incredible. Patti was incredibly accommodating to help with all of our questions and request with our 7 month old baby. The cabin and the area are breathtaking! The cabin was spotless, comfortable and cozy. We could not have asked for the cabin to stocked or supplied with anything more. We cooked multiple meals in the kitchen. It was like we were right at home with all of the amenities. The beds were all very comfortable and cozy. Lots of soft blankets to cozy up with on the chilly nights. The cabin was even supplied with fishing poles and canoes to explore and fish the lake. Lots of other sporting equipment to help enjoy the outdoors with our 7 year old. We hiked up to the st. Marie’s glacier that was just a short walk from the cabin. The entire experience was absolutely perfect! Patti even ordered us up some snow so we could make a snowman on our last day. Truly amazing!!! We will definitely be back and we will recommend this place to all of our friends and family.

Amazing Lake Getaway

Alpine Lake House was perfect for our Red Rocks concert vacation. The views are amazing and the house had everything needed (and then some) for a relaxing long weekend with friends. This was my 4th stay in the St. Marys area and this house was by far the best. Patti is awesome. She went out of her way to make us feel at home and responded to our questions almost instantly. We will definitely be staying at the Alpine Lake Haus again!!!

The pictures and description don’t do it justice!

It’s hard to describe the beauty of this place. We stayed from 11/15/23 - 11/22/23 and were constantly overwhelmed with the beauty of the surrounding mountains every time we walked outside. The house’s large picture windows looked out on the mountain holding St Mary’s glacier and gave us all a sense of awe. The cabin itself was perfect. The hosts thought of everything for a family staying in the mountains for a week. We are veteran VRBO’ers with numerous stays at houses over the past 10 years and not one other host has come close the level of preparation from Patti at the Alpine Lake Haus. She provides every utensil you could dream of for cooking away from home. She also provided spices and flour in case we needed it. No one does that! We had coffee, creamer, a gift basket of snacks and goodies, and t-shirts waiting for us. The outdoor amenities were wonderful. We canoed, kayaked, and tried fishing to our hearts content. The cabin itself was spotless and the beds very comfortable. We spent evenings playing the provided cards and many board games as a family. I had a meeting I had to attend one day, and the high speed internet made Zoom work smoothly. We also could stream on the TVs if we wanted to. We we a 2 minute ride from the base of the glacier trail (tough trail but so worth it). Rafting and other activities were short drives away as well. Oh and we saw the moose 100 ft from us one day! Altitude did take getting used to, but this was easily a 20 out of 10 experience!

Beautiful home

We loved the home but to drive to home on top of mountain with very strong winds n icy roads was terrible. I would not recommend to families with young children. Owner was nice until we left.

About the host

Hosted by Patti

We have been in Colorado for years and just recently discovered St. Mary's. We love it here!

Why they chose this property

We love this property because of the VIEWS! The views take your breath away. The lake, Fox Peak, the glacier, the forest....I could go on all day. It also helps that the log cabin itself is absolutely wonderful!

What makes this property unique

This cabin offers you a quiet getaway from the hectic pace of normal life. Come up and hike, bird watch, canoe or snowshoe (depending on the season), read a book, play a game. Leave your devices behind. Come be with your family or friends. Come make memories and recharge your battery to be able to go back to normal life. You will be glad you did!
