About this property

Scenic Custom Mountain Home on Elk Meadow

THE GONZNAGEL GUESTHAUSE HAS BOOKING DATES AVAILABLE MID-AUGUST THROUGH OCTOBER (weather permitting) for four+ night stays in this beautiful mountain home. Book your stay now before the opportunity slips away. We also host weddings, reunions, birthdays and other celebrations, with special prior arrangement. Remember: We have fiber Internet and cell service--you can work from THIS home!! Or just come for a relaxing getaway and escape the crowds of the city and the I-70 corridor! Plan on a safe adventure here in our mountain paradise, with plenty of hiking and other outdoor activities. This cedar-sided three-bedroom mountain custom overlooks Deer Creek Valley, home to a herd of 160 elk, Great Blue Heron, deer, fox, coyote, several raptor species, and a panoply of birds and wildflowers. Nestled in a Ponderosa Pine forest and surrounded by landscaping and gardens (seasonal), this site serves as a scenic spot for small weddings, family reunions, gatherings of all types--or just relaxing in the fresh Rocky Mountain air. A fire pit, swing set and climbing structure, horseshoe pits, lounge chairs and a gas grill complete the comfortable yard overlooking 280 acres of elk meadow. Close to summer (Evergreen Lake) and winter sports (Summit County), and the best autumn color viewing in Colorado, the Bailey area is known for trout fishing, mountain bike trails, horseback riding, hiking and ATV adventures. Bailey town offers a brewery, winery, galleries and shopping, and the famous Sasquatch Outpost with two new large and furry bipeds! Lush house plants, tropical fish, an extensive library and DVD collection (including children's books and VHS videos), original art, hardwood floors, and a great-room fireplace create a comfortable, homey atmosphere in this modern mountain home. A 6-burner gas range completes the chef's kitchen, part of the great room that overlooks mountain and meadow vistas. A Surround Sound entertainment center upstairs, and an additional ground level family room TV allow cable TV/DVD/VHS/CD/Internet access. The Master suite features a king-size flotation bed and a jetted tub and raindrop shower; garden level bedrooms contain a queen and a fold-out love-seat bed, and a queen Murphy bed. A caretaker on site attends to property maintenance, and is available to answer questions.

About the host

Hosted by Trice Hufnagel and Louis Gonzalez

Host profile image
We designed and built this home in 1992 as a luxury vacation home for our Floridian parents. (Lou is a General Contractor) We took possession in 1995 with our two children who were born and raised in this mountain environment. They've launched and now we travel for business and pleasure. We'd like to share our home with you, as it is. We still reside here, so you will not find the house stripped bare of personal belongings. We are never gone for long, so we check back in to attend to landscaping and upkeep between reservations. We want to share our music, art, books, environs with you--think of staying in your Aunt Sally's place while she heads off to Tortuga for an educational adventure!! We hope you enjoy our slice of the Paradise Pie!!

Why they chose this property

When designing this house, we considered the meadow, the view up the valley and the prevailing winds and sunshine. The windows are oriented to the views, the passive solar system and in-floor heat maintain a comfortable inside atmosphere in all seasons. We have lived in the Bailey area over 40 years and are well-acquainted with all the wonders and recreational opportunities of the region. Just ask us for adventure ideas!

What makes this property unique

To be so close to an easy access highway, yet in such a peaceful valley! You feel remote, yet you are only an hour away from all the entertainment and activities of the Denver area--major league football, baseball, basketball, hockey; movie theaters and fine dining; Broadway shows and plays at the Denver Center of the Performing Arts, a zoo, an aquarium, the Botanic Gardens, the Denver Mint, Elitches and Lakeside Amusement Parks--any of the fun you want in Denver is an hour or less away from this secluded mountain home. And then there are all the mountain adventures described elsewhere--this property is ideally located, a central hub for so many kinds of activities.
