Please read on for more details.
The Property:
The home has 3 levels of space to enjoy and you enter on the main or middle level. The primary living room is large and feels very spacious, thanks to the 20 foot high vaulted ceilings. It has two sets of French doors and second story windows that provide a good amount of natural light. The elk antler chandelier, black walnut hardwood floors, and stacked rock fireplace accentuate the comfortable leather furniture. The dining room seats 8 comfortably, with two more chairs available for a total of 10. It adjoins the living room and kitchen and also has direct access to the large back deck. The back deck has dining tables with seating for 8, a sitting area for 5, a gas grill, and great views. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight with plenty of space and great flow. Brazilian granite slab counters and stainless steel appliances are just the beginning. The custom cabinetry throughout includes dishwashing drawers. The large island includes bar seating for prep work. There is a nook for coffee or other beverages and empty cabinet space for your groceries. The appliances are great too, with wall mounted ovens, a gas range, and a fridge that includes filtered water and ice that lets you avoid wasteful bottled water. This level also includes one bedroom suite (Bedroom and Bathroom 3), a half bathroom, and laundry.
Bedroom 1 is a very large suite found upstairs. It includes a beautiful King size bed, an armchair, gas fireplace, vaulted T & G ceilings with exposed beams, a ceiling fan, and wall mounted HDTV. This bedroom has views looking south and north, across Shadow Mountain Lake to Rocky Mountain National Park. The bathroom within this bedroom suite features travertine tile around the terraced bathtub, the dual sink vanity, and throughout the 6 headed shower with bench. Take in a view of the lake while you relax in the large jacuzzi tub, which can comfortably accommodate two people, or enjoy a shower that is thoroughly refreshing. There's also a large walk in closet for all of your things. Bedroom 2 is also upstairs. It features a Queen bed, vaulted ceilings, and mountain views. Like bedroom 1, the furniture set is of high quality. The private bathroom here includes a water closet, large walk in shower, and a walk in closet. Bedroom 3 is on the main level but still has vaulted ceilings. Yet again the furniture is exquisite. This Queen bedroom is quite large. It has a table and chairs for two, a walk in closet, and direct access to the back deck. The private bathroom features two copper sinks, another large jacuzzi tub big enough for two people, a separate shower, and a water closet. Bedroom 4 is downstairs and is so large that it easily accommodates a King size sleigh bed with matching bedside tables, dresser and two ceiling fans. The bathroom is massive and includes a large dual headed steam shower so you can create your own luxury spa experience. This big bathroom can be accessed directly from the bedroom or from the lower living room, in case your group includes anyone sleeping in the bunk beds.
The lower living room is quite a big space. The log frame bunk beds include a Twin over Twin and a Twin over Full. So this space could work for a couple, 5 kids, or a mix. This big bonus room includes a wet bar with fridge, a foldable and moveable ping pong table, and comfy furniture surrounding a larger HDTV, new in summer 2022. From here you can also access the lower level deck, which is shaded, a great place to relax with a book.

As such, all amenities can not be guaranteed to be available at all times. Please advise us when or before booking if you have questions about a specific property amenity so that we can give you the most accurate information possible for your dates.
** Air Conditioning - Most mountain resort properties were not built with air conditioning. During most hours of the day and weeks of the year, AC is not needed. Summer nights are cool and fans are provided at most properties. Check the average high and low temperatures and weather forecast for your dates of travel, and look at the list of amenities to see if AC or fans are part of the rental property and look for ceiling fans in photos.
** Group Sizes, High Occupancy Fees, & Maximum Occupancy - Some properties use a “High Occupancy Fee” to “raise the rate” for larger groups, and are thus able to list a lower nightly rate for smaller groups. Each rental agreement and associated rates are for a specific group size. Guests must enter the correct and maximum group size at the time of booking. The agreement requires a guest to confirm the group size and subsequently, to disclose any changes to the planned group size, which may result in an increase, or decrease, to the total cost, and may result in a security deposit becoming required.
** Video & Noise Monitoring - Please note that noise monitoring devices, and security cameras, do exist on the exterior of the property. Cameras are positioned to cover all entrances and exits of the home. Cameras are present to ensure the property remains secure and safe, as well as to ensure that guests are honest and upfront about their planned use of the property. If you plan to bring more people than you've indicated, more dogs than indicated, to host a party or event, or do not intend to respect neighbors or the value and quality of the property, then this is not the place for you, and you should not book the property. For normal, respectful groups, we are sorry that these statements and measures are necessary. Security cameras and noise monitoring devices are an example and demonstration that the property's owners are taking steps to ensure the home remains available for rental, and in good condition, for your benefit. Please let us know if you have any concerns.
** Cleaning Fees & Lengthy Rental Periods - The standard cleaning fee quoted as part of any booking is for the final cleaning, which is to be performed after the rental period has ended.

If you are booking for a lengthy stay, please contact us before booking online to discuss your group, your dates, the rates, the cleaning schedule, etc.
