About this property

Incredible find! Gathering spaces, mtn views, bbq, 10 min to horse park and town

Welcome to The Retreat House, a beautiful estate that sits on dozens of acres surrounded by Colorado beauty with a landscape of wildlife, pine trees and sweeping mountain views. Fall in love with the surroundings and the backdrop of the Rocky Mountain range!

This 7,300 sf house has three levels of well-designed living space. There is plenty of room to spread out, and numerous gathering places to enjoy time with friends and family.

The Retreat House is ideal for large families, corporate retreats, and small group gatherings. It can host up to 18 guests (overnight + day guests). This property sleeps 18 comfortably (2 per king/queen bed, 6 children’s bunks, 1 full-size sleeper sofa in loft area). Our published pricing is based on an occupancy of up to 14. Up to 4 additional guests can be added at $52.50/person/night. THERE IS A MAXIMUM CAPACITY OF 18 GUESTS AT THIS PROPERTY (OVERNIGHT + DAY GUESTS). Total guest count must be confirmed and approved and renters who exceed the occupancy limit and/or falsify occupancy information are subject to eviction and additional fees.

House parties (having day guests), unless pre-approved in writing with correct details, are strictly prohibited and grounds for immediate eviction and additional fees. Day guests will be billed at $36.50/guest/day, if not pre-approved in writing. Day guests are any guests beyond those paying to spend the night. If your overnight count is under 18, the owner of this property does allow one larger gathering of a few extra people (no more than 18 max at the house with overnight + day guests), i.e. for a meal. Number of guests, date and start/end time will be needed in advance and must be approved in writing.

When inquiring or making a booking request, please include answers to the following questions to help us determine if this home is a good fit for your group:

-Your age and if you are an all-adult group, the average age of your group members.
-The maximum number of adults and kids that you will have (even if you don't yet have final numbers).
-Any day guests that you plan to have at the house.
-A little bit about the purpose of your visit to CO. What brings you out, what are some of the activities planned?

Summer bookings (June, July and August) require a 5-night stay with a check-in on Thursday or Friday. In late spring/early summer, we reduce the summer nightly minimum to 4 nights for the remaining open summer dates (reflected in our pricing schedule at that time).

Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's bookings require a 5-night minimum and Christmas and New Year's are two separate reservation blocks. Christmas dates can be reserved between December 20th and 27th, New Year's reservations can be reserved between December 28th and January 5th.

If you are a traveling sports team, please note that we require a 1:1 ratio of adults to kids (siblings and players). More adults are okay. If you have a special situation, please feel free to inquire.

This home is located in an area that can get heavy snow and although we are vigilant with having the driveway plowed in the wintertime, we highly recommend 4-wheel drive vehicles. The roads are easy to navigate in the summertime, no special vehicle needed.

Smoking outside only and because we have a family member who has severe dog allergies, we have a firm no pets rule. Violation of these policies will result in a full forfeiture of deposit.

• This house was chosen for its central location to everything!
• We are 10 minutes from the Colorado Horse Park.

Confirmation of dates: Please note that we sometimes receive multiple inquiries for the same dates and reservations are ONLY confirmed once payment has been made. Unfortunately we cannot hold dates.

Availability of property: If something happens to the point that the house is not habitable, owner is only responsible to refund any received payment for unused nights. We take great pride in our properties, but guests must realize that things break, and owner has a team available to address any problems that may occur. No refunds will be available if owner makes reasonable efforts to correct these problems during the guests stay, and the house is still habitable.

Thanks for looking and for making it all the way to the bottom of our listing description!

This property was very clean, wonderful amenities - didn’t lack for anything. The kitchen so well equipped and room enough for many cooks! Our family enjoyed finding areas for small chats and space for table and floor games including everyone. Our 7 college age kids, 3 younger kids, and the rest of us fit easily, slept well in the comfortable beds and thoroughly loved the house and our stay. Coffee on the porch - front and back - was my favorite visiting time. Christine was easy and good to stay in touch with. Could not have been better. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful family home.

It was a beautiful property and well maintained.

Our family really enjoyed staying at the property. It was beautiful inside and out and had plenty of room for our family of 6. It had all the amenities of home and made our visit better than staying in a hotel. It was located close to the town of Parker and the Colorado Horse Park, which was our reason for visiting Colorado. We'd love to stay here again when we come back to Colorado next summer!

Great Find in Parker

Our family of 9 needed a place to stay for our niece’s wedding in Morrison. This lovely home helped us escape the humidity and heat of Texas. The house was spacious, comfortable, and well stocked. We enjoyed grilling out, eating on the deck while watching beautiful Colorado sunsets and wildlife. Later, we would enjoy s’mores at the outdoor fire pit. We loved it and would highly recommend the home. We are considering a family summer vacation every year at this lovely home.

About the Property Manager:

I’m a Colorado native who was fortunate to spend my elementary school years living in Evergreen. I have love and passion for houses…over the years I have fix and flipped several homes, moved a handful of houses, completed construction on builder-abandoned homes, and managed dozens of rental properties. (One of my remodels even made a debut on HGTV!) I have found my true love in managing luxury vacation rental properties along the Colorado front range, and taking care of my incredible guests!
