About this property

Historic 1905 Mountain Retreat | Hot Tub | Quiet & Authentic

This is a real mountain home—historic, imperfect, and intentional.

Built in 1905 and nestled in the mountains of Cascade, Colorado, this home is designed for guests who value authenticity over polish and experience over convenience. It is not a modern resort or hotel-style stay, and it is intentionally limited to a maximum of 4 guests to preserve the character of the home and the quiet nature of the neighborhood.

If you enjoy crisp mountain air, changing weather, wildlife, and the charm (and quirks) of a 120-year-old home, you’ll feel right at home here. If you are looking for luxury finishes, urban convenience, or a maintenance-free experience, this property may not be a good fit.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We loved this charming home tucked in the mountains! It had everything we needed. We were all able to do stairs ok which is a must both inside and outside when staying here. The location was great as we were close to so many fun things to do!! Communication with the host was great. The outside grounds needed a few more solar lights on the front and back stairs to help light things up. We loved having the hot tub! We would recommend this property to others as long as they have no issues using stairs :) Such a fun stay!

The location was accommodating to us vacationers who needed to grab groceries and last-minute items (10 minutes away from the nearest Walmart and gas station). The mountain views were stunning, but there were a couple of grown trees we had to contend with to see them. The Hot tub was conveniently close and very clean! The game room is further away, down another flight of stairs, so we didn't utilize it as much as I thought we would, though it would be a great idea for younger kids/teens with a lot of energy to burn. This is a great place to stay to rest your head for the night. Beds and pillows were super comfortable, which was appreciated after a full day of hiking. We enjoyed evenings playing cards in the covered porch, too! The owner was responsive when we had questions or concerns, as well. I had to provide some feedback regarding the cleaning of the rental, so make sure you check EVERYTHING if offered 1-hour to inspect after check-in or go elsewhere (especially behind bed pillows and in less obvious areas of the home).

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We are the owners of this historic Cascade mountain home and manage it with care and intention. We value clear communication, respectful guests, and preserving both the character of the home and the peace of the neighborhood.

Why they chose this property

This home offers an experience that cannot be replicated by modern vacation rentals.

Built in 1905, the house retains its original character—historic trim, a narrow early-century staircase, and architectural details that reflect how mountain homes were built over a century ago. These features have been intentionally preserved to honor the home’s history rather than modernize it into something it was never meant to be.

Many of the interior doors still display their original numbering, a detail left untouched as part of the home’s story. Interior doors do not lock, consistent with the original construction and design of the era.

The home’s stucco exterior allows it to retain heat efficiently, keeping it warm during cooler months. In summer, guests are encouraged to open windows and enjoy the naturally cool mountain air—part of the rhythm of living in a historic mountain home rather than relying on constant mechanical climate control.

This property is ideal for guests who appreciate authenticity, history, and character, and who understand that a 120-year-old mountain home will feel different from a newly built vacation rental. That difference is exactly what many of our guests value most.

What makes this property unique

Pet-friendly by design
The home includes a small mudroom and a fenced outdoor area on the property, making it well-suited for guests traveling with pets who are accustomed to mountain environments.

Walkable access to nature and local favorites
A short walk leads to the community park with access to the Heizer Trail for hiking. Nearby, guests can walk to Wines of Colorado to enjoy a meal or a glass of local wine along the creek.

Quiet mountain setting with nearby towns
Close to Green Mountain Falls, known for its park, pond, hiking trails, and a small selection of local restaurants—ideal for guests who enjoy exploring mountain towns at an unhurried pace.
