About this property

Elevated St. Mary's Glacier Retreat: Escape to mountain views, trails, hot tub

Imagine waking up to breathtaking Colorado 14er views from your luxurious mountain home, nestled at 10,300 feet on the Continental Divide. This isn't just a rental; it's an experience. Step inside and discover the perfect home to experience mountain living.

Cozy up by gas fireplace after a day of adventure, or unwind in your open-air hot tub under the vast Colorado sky.

With no-stair main level entry, convenience is key. The open-concept living area flows seamlessly onto an expansive deck, perfect for soaking in the views and wildlife. Upstairs, two private bedrooms each offer their own balcony, while the downstairs provides a flexible space with a climbing wall.

Outside, relax after a day of hiking, skiing, fishing, and more with a soothing soak in the hot tub.

Your Colorado adventure starts right at your doorstep with direct access to miles of National Forest and foot trails. You are minutes away from a year-round snowfield and world-class hiking opportunities.

Enjoy optional access to two private lakes stocked with trout. And when you're ready to explore further, you're just 15 minutes to I-70, 20 minutes to Idaho Springs for dining and shopping, a quick 30-minute drive to Loveland Ski, and only 45 minutes to Golden and Morrison.

This is more than just a place to stay; it's your gateway to an unforgettable Colorado mountain experience.

About the host

Hosted by James Hamilton

Host profile image
We love to invite families and guests to escape to enjoy an extended stay in a secluded-and truly magical- setting nestled high in the Colorado Rockies.

Why they chose this property

St. Mary's Glacier is a truly unique place, a secluded alpine community nestled high in the Colorado Rockies. You're at a significant elevation, starting around 10,000 feet and rising to over 11,000 feet at the base of the snowfield. This means you're surrounded by towering peaks, often snow-capped even in summer, and the air is crisp and clean.

The dramatic mountain scenery, the crystal-clear lake, and the year-round presence of snow create an incredibly picturesque environment. It's a prime example of Colorado's stunning high country.

Because it's a bit off the beaten path, St. Mary's has a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. While popular for day trips, it retains a sense of remoteness.

What makes this property unique

The house is situated at approximately 10,300 feet on the eastern flank of the Continental Divide. This offers truly "elevated living."

The property provides stunning, unobstructed views of some of Colorado's famous 14,000-foot peaks. The home has undergone recent, fresh upgrades that blend "mountain tough" with "understated elegance." It combines a spectacular, high-alpine location with immediate access to vast outdoor recreation, all within a recently upgraded and well-appointed home that caters to both comfort and adventure.
