About this property

THE Ultimate TREEHOUSE AND Cabin Experience!

As of July '22, our Ultimate TREEHOUSE is complete!!! And YOU GET BOTH the Treehouse AND the Amazing Cabin with your rental! The Treehouse is 38' Tall, (3) levels w/ (3) separate staircases, has a full bathroom with shower and bidet, small kitchen, Queen Bed, Living Room w/ 55" Sony + Directv, Dining Nook, and Game Loft! I can almost guarantee that you’ve never spent a night in an environment where every square inch has been so thoroughly built for your enjoyment…

If you just need a pillow to lay your head on at the end of the day...this is not the property for you. But If you are looking for a property that IS the destination in itself because of the experience it provides, then this is it. First of all...THE most EPIC treehouse in the state of Colorado.....Period…maybe even the country. The property is stunning, and there is SO much to do on it. It's buried in a secluded and private National Forest, but is just 5 miles from Blackhawk and Central City too. Let's check all the boxes of why this is the Ultimate Experience:
- An Ultra-Lux TREEHOUSE you can sleep in with a full bathroom! Nicer than even the Treehouses you see on TV. The project was spared absolutely no expense.
- Solid Log Cabin with every luxurious amenity possible.
- Gushing Mountain Stream runs 365 days a year! (2) Amazing creek patio spots for your morning coffee and evening happy hour!
- VERY Private and quiet (you could walk around naked all day and nobody would ever know).
- Sound System: A VERY nice indoor/outdoor sound system for you to bluetooth to. I do electronics for a living, so it's a REALLY nice system. Treehouse has one too!! If you love music, you’ve never experienced anything like this.
- A secret 4.5- mile long PRIVATE hiking trail starts 20 feet from the cabin! - you'll NEVER see another human on it! It has an INCREDIBLE story behind it too you'll learn about when you're here. And there are SO MANY hidden nooks and crannies to explore on this amazing property :). Over 1/4 mile of private waterfront on this property…Explore!
- Fully Remodeled Kitchen and Bath in main Cabin. Bath has Luxe Bidet Toilet.
- The “Mini” Cabin! We LOVE our cabin so much, my wife spent Approx. 400 hours building an EXACT 1/12th Scale Replica of it! Its there for you to enjoy...and of course it's lit up like crazy :) You can see 1 photo of it here, but we didn't want to spoil all of it's hidden surprises for when you see it in person ;-)
- SpaceX StarLink High Speed Internet/Wifi + landline phone w/ free long distance. No data limits.
- Full Generator backup! If the power goes out, it kicks on about 10 seconds later and you’re back up and running!
- (17) Lutron Motorized Window Shades!
- Campfire Ring, Tree Hammock, & Gas BBQ Grill! Gold Panning is also on-site.
- Lighting - I'm a bit of a lighting nutcase….in fact…it’s what I do for a living…. The Treehouse alone has (30) Lighting Circuits.... I feel that lighting makes or breaks a space, so everything indoors and out has been done professionally and is spectacular. The outdoors of the property is softly & beautifully lit to provide an enjoyable nighttime experience, and a safe one if you choose to walk around the property at night (which you should!). Inside is no different with extensive effort and thought put into the lighting of each space... This is hi-tech rustic ambience!
- (2) On property elaborate treasure hunts!! (see below for more about these and read my reviews - Years of effort have gone into these, and they are SO much fun... again read the reviews). Way better than any escape room you’ve done and hours of entertainment!
- The Cabin has a Beautiful Master Loft overlooking entire Cabin! Plus a main level private bedroom w/ motorized black out shades.
- Property is located about 1 hour from Denver and it is very easy to get to - no I-70 traffic regardless of when you arrive or leave which is a big deal!

4-wheelers can be rented and delivered to the cabin if desired. Information is also at the cabin for local dining, casinos, fishing, grocery stores, hiking, jeep trails, etc. You can 4-wheel/ATV right off the property and into endless amounts of trails leading all the way to the Continental Divide, Winter Park, St. Mary's Glacier, and everywhere in between. There are endless amount of trails for exploring just up the road from the cabin. Golden Gate National Park is also only 15 minutes away. I can't overstate how awesome the 4.5-mile hiking trail is off the back of the Cabin...plan to be gone for a few hours!

Treasure! There are (2) VERY elaborate treasure hunts for you to enjoy. One inside, and one outside (the outside one can only be done when there isn't snow on the ground...can you find the buried treasure chest on the property??) I encourage all ages to do them. They aren't easy...and kids will need help from their parents to figure out some of the clues, but it's a TON of fun. And if you figure it out...there will be treasure waiting for you at the end... ;-)

Metal Detecting on property! There are tons of coins throughout the property, and even REAL SILVER coins that if you find you're allowed to keep (1). (2) metal detectors are provided so you can find real treasure, and help us dig up tons of old mining history here too! To date, my guests have found over 150 pieces of old Iron from the 1800's when this property was used to process gold ore!

Roads are plowed and maintained by the City of Black Hawk all the way to the cabin. Accessible year round. In the winter, we recommend FWD or weather dependent AWD. Complimentary Chocolate and Coffee are provided. All linens, Firewood, and Wood Stove Pellets are also provided. Easy check-in - 4-digit access code will give you access for the length of your stay.

I have little notes, hints, directions, and suggestions all over the cabin to make everything about your stay even more enjoyable.

While all these amenities are crazy awesome...the true magic of this place comes from all the little details we've thought of. My guests often comment that we’ve thought of everything….

Again…Read the reviews! They say it so much better than I do. This property (and the enjoyment of my guests) if you couldn’t tell by now... is a passion...bordering on an obsession... I hope you get a chance to experience it :-)

Dream cabin in the woods
Everything was advertised! We brought groceries to cook our own meals and the kitchen had exactly everything we needed. It was very relaxing to have the fire going with a picturesque snow outside. Communication was fantastic as well. My wife will certainly be going home to train our local birds to eat out of our hands now!

Outstanding!!
Had the best time. By far one of the best places we have ever stayed. Did not need a single thing as the hosts have thought of everything. Feeding the birds was magical. Thank you!!!

Treehouse dreams come true!
We’ve had a goal to stay in a treehouse so when we found this we were so excited. The photos don’t really do the property justice. The cabin is rustic and cozy and the treehouse is gorgeous and modern. There was a fun treasure hunt in the house. The house is easy to get to and also feels totally secluded. We had a great time and can’t wait to go back in the summer!

Oh My Gosh!!
This was an amazing place to stay! My husband and I have stayed at many VRBO houses all over the US, including Hawaii and we would definitely rate this A plus!! It is a magical place to go and spend alone time. In the 3 days we were there we saw/heard 3 cars and saw no people! For us this was a big treat! Every inch of both the cabin and the treehouse are a treat. The lighting, the technology used, the coziness were all top notch! Plenty of essentials and then some. Nothing was forgotten in this rental. We made our main base in the cabin and spent lots of time in the treehouse! I used the treehouse for meditation and naps and we even stayed overnight there one night...why not, right!! At night the lights made the whole area feel like you were in a fairyland story and the sun through the trees in the mornings were a great way to wake up! We did the outside scavenger hunt and had a great time and, of course, we had to let the birds eat out of our hands. There was so much to do...or just do nothing! Our host was the nicest we have ever worked with and we are so appreciative this! Thank you so very much, Brian! We look forward to coming back in the future! And, maybe, if they're lucky, we'll even invite our girls :))

About the host

Hosted by Brian Richards

Host profile image
I purchased the property in 2002. It was never listed publicly... a close friend was selling it. I had NO idea what I was going to do with it...I just knew it was special and I couldn't let it go or I would always regret it...and I never have for a second... This property is my hobby, and what I do for fun. I never stop working on it and improving it...there is always a major project in the works... :)

Why they chose this property

This place was like a childhood dream come true for me. Everything about it...is...perfect. I wouldn't change a thing. My wife is a real estate agent, and she's been looking in the mountains for years for another property like it for us to buy to do what we've done here, and we just can't find anything like it. Its so special in that it has the river, ultimate privacy, it's a "real" log home, big & open, no neighbors, the private hiking trail, surrounded by national forest, etc...and now...the TREEHOUSE! Our most ambitious project yet by far! This property cannot be replicated.

What makes this property unique

This Cabin is a labor of love for me and my family. We constantly upgrade it without hesitation. Everything we've every made we happily pour back into it. We do that for us, but mostly for you... I've had families that have stayed here every year for the last 15 years, and it's really fun upgrading it for them so there is ALWAYS something new to enjoy :) You can just feel the love that went into making this property an experience when you are there, and it's not just the grandiose things, but also the smallest minute details that we think help make your stay here magical. No effort has been spared to make this the most amazing visit that we can possibly make for you. The compliments and endless thank you's I get from my guests warm my heart and motivate me even to make everyone's stay special.
