Majestic Mountaintop Retreat! Luxury in a serene setting All seasons family fun
Come experience mountain living at its FINEST in this spacious home at the top of Spruce Mountain. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the San Isabel Mountains from practically every room in the house or look as far as Pikes Peak while exploring the 32 private acres.
This luxurious home is designed for your family or group to have plenty of space to gather together in the main floor great room around the warm stone fireplace, the oversized kitchen island, or in the basement family game room.
You can prepare meals in a chef’s dream kitchen complete with granite counters and a double oven after a day of rafting, hiking, or skiing nearby. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you to enjoy any holiday meal in the 8-person dining room or at the eat-in kitchen table.
While this home allows you to relax in the peace and quiet of nature, we are now connected by Space X to their EXTREMELY high-speed internet as well as a cell phone booster, to allow you to stay connected as needed. This will easily let you to work remotely or continue remote schooling in a beautiful setting. What’s better than being able to social distance at the top of a mountain.
Enjoy a glass of wine on one of the home’s two vast decks while watching the majestic sunset. Afterwards, make your way down to the fire pit to enjoy some s’mores as you star gaze into the astonishing night sky. The area is in the Dark Skies association so you will likely be able to see more stars than you have ever seen before
Let the kids (or the kids at heart) have the sleepover of their dreams in the bunkroom and hang out with our house mascot Moosey. The kids can camp out in this double bunk bed room that sleeps four. This house would work well for a group of couples as the three other bedrooms all include comfortable king size beds.
The home is located only 10 minutes from the U.S. top white-water rafting area in the Arkansas river. Enjoy a family-friendly raft trip with Arkansas River Tours or be adventurous on Class 5 rapids with the Rock-N-Row guides. Both of these highly-rated guide companies are conveniently located in Cotopaxi.
You can enjoy a beautiful drive along the Arkansas River over to the Monarch Ski Resort. Monarch offers lower costs and significantly lower crowds compared to the ski resorts closer to Denver but has slopes for all levels from beginners to experts. Monarch is also known for being one of the most family-friendly resorts in the state. Don’t forget about the snow tubing park that Monarch just opened up.
No matter if you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime or a relaxing get away, this home provides the amenities, location, and space to make it to happen. Our family loves to escape the hustle & bustle at this home, and we would love to share that with your family or group as well. We love that with just a short drive we can hit the ski slopes, hike the trails, enjoy a beautiful horseback ride in the mountains, or visit the Royal Gorge. Please let us know how we can accommodate your group in this beautiful secret area of Colorado.

About the host
Hosted by Ben & Tracie Gurtler
Hello! We are a young family that fell in love with this home, and would love to share it's beauty and the secret beauty of the area with others.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the area and its people first, with wonderful amenities in both directions of the home. Then this home took our breathe away with its instagram worthy views. Believe me you will just want to stand and stare in every direction. And finally the home was BEAUTIFULLY remodelled recently and we knew others whether looking for a quiet, and peaceful escape or an outdoor adventure would love this home.
What makes this property unique
This is our family's personal vacation home, so we have included quality amenities that we ourselves will use when visiting. This is also our only rental property, so unlike some major companies who service 100's of homes our guests have our sole attention and the enjoyment of their stay is our top priority.
