The home features three story windows and gives the perception of living in a tree house with a green tree canopy in the summer, gold leaves in the fall and views of Pikes Peak in the winter. The property is cantilevered over a year-round stream. It is very common to see deer and wild turkeys wandering through the property.

HOUSE:
Keep warm and cozy in the winter with central forced-air heat and a 3-story stacked fireplace in the living room (main floor), game room (basement) and master suite (upstairs). Central Air-conditioning plus an additional window unit in the master suite will help maintain a comfortable stay during the warmer months.

4 BEDROOMS & 3 BATHROOMS:
- The lofted master bedroom (upstairs) offers a relaxing retreat complete with king size bed, walk-out roof top deck with chaise loungers, fireplace, Asian style pocket doors, and walk-in closet. You will never want to leave the spa style 5-piece master bath with a stand-alone European tub, rain shower, dual sinks, exposed steel beam, modern tile and custom concrete touches.
- The other 3 bedrooms (1 upstairs, and 2 main level) all include queen size beds with high-end pillow top mattresses and feature contemporary furniture and fixtures. The upstairs bathroom offers a modern vessel sink and soaking tub. The main floor bathroom is equally as unique and has an integrated two tone concrete sink with fiber optic stars that twinkle over a mountain range when you wash your hands.

LIVING:
Enjoy watching the peaceful stream while relaxing on the couch (also a queen sized sofa sleeper). If you need more - turn on the fire, watch your favorite show or enjoy a board game with your family and friends! This is what a vacation in the mountains is made of!

KITCHEN & DINING:
The commercial style kitchen is fully equipped to make cooking at home a pleasurable experience. You'll find stainless steel countertops and appliances, hanging pot rack, glass cook top, and modern cabinets. There are two primary dining areas - one indoors and one on an outdoor cantilevered dining deck - both of which allow you to enjoy the stream year round.

LAUNDRY:
The laundry room in the basement contains 1 washer and 2 dryers to help keep up with the dirty clothes you create while exploring the mountains.

ENTERTAINMENT:
In the walkout basement, you will find a TV / game room with lounging couch, fireplace, and foosball table. This recreation room walks out into the private backyard which features a hammock and steps that spiral into the stream. In addition to the hammock, the backyard has a set of 10 Adirondack chairs so that your family can enjoy a cocktail, watch some wildlife, and chat about your vacation stream side!

PARKING:
There is offstreet parking in the driveway for several cars. Guests can use the 2 car garage but note that the clearance is low and it can only be opened via inside the house (no remote available).

RESPECT TOWARD NEIGHBORS:
We love to welcome guests that are seeking a quiet and restful setting. The neighborhood is home to amazing animals as well as longtime neighbors and we expect that guests will be respectful of the surrounding environment. If you're seeking to party or have kids that will not respect neighboring properties, this is likely not the right home for you. To help maintain a tranquil setting, we use a noise monitoring device which is 100% privacy compliant and endorsed by VRBO. It does NOT record actual sounds or conversations, it simply monitors the noise level (measured in decibels) so that our home is being used for residential purposes, not wild parties. We look forward to hosting you at our stream side retreat.

RENTAL AGREEMENT:
Upon reservation confirmation, Guest will need to complete a Rental Agreement which outlines the terms and conditions for use of our property. This is the same as the terms listed on VRBO but we require a signature as a condition of our permit with the city.
