Luxury bathroom with a rock river set in the floor, a glass shower door where the rock tile continues, and an interesting sink made from a flowerpot and an old set of drawers. Bucket pulley on back deck 20+ feet up. Living area with sofa bed and full kitchen. Large deck on the front and beautiful sunsets to enjoy while grilling or sitting around the firepit.

About the host
Hosted by Kris Shellabarger
We are originally from the St. Louis area and Ohio. We bought our lake house at Lake of Egypt and eventually moved there. We loved it so much we started building vacation rentals. We enjoy our guests so much and love the area!
Why they chose this property
We wanted to buy in Colorado because of the night sky. The Lake of Egypt sky was just the same but much closer to home. On many nights, we can see the milky way. There is not a lot of light pollution and to watch the sky and a bonfire is so much better than anything we could watch on TV!
What makes this property unique
The night sky is amazing and you can build a bonfire anytime you want. The treehouse has a bucket pulley 20 feet in the air and also has a trap door bedroom. It is a special place for couples and for families. The deer are all over as are many beautiful birds.
