A tucked-away mountain cabin made for slow evenings and quiet mornings.
Every group has a place they keep coming back to. The Den House is that place.
Named for the feeling you get the moment you walk through the door that deep, settling exhale of a space that is comfortable, warm, and completely removed from the noise of ordinary life.
The Den House is a rustic mountain cabin tucked away in the quiet landscape of Florissant, Colorado. It isn’t trying to be grand. It’s trying to be exactly what it is: a den. A retreat. A place where the wood fireplace crackles, the hammock sways in the mountain air, and nobody checks their phone because nobody needs to.
Picture the first evening: you’ve unpacked, the fire is lit, and the only decision left is whether to relax inside or step outside to watch the stars come out over the Colorado wilderness. That’s the Den House.
Views of the pines from every window, with a quiet spot to sip coffee and bird watch.
The Space
Two comfortable bedrooms with memory foam mattresses sleep up to 4. The renovated bathroom has a tub and shower combo. The kitchen is fully stocked : Ninja coffee maker, full cookware, 4-person dining table, for everything from a slow mountain breakfast to a proper dinner after a day on the trails.
The living room is where the Den earns its name. A plush velvet sectional, a 55-inch Fire TV, and ready, and a wood-burning fireplace that makes the whole cabin feel like a warm exhale.
Step outside and find a wraparound deck, a freestanding hammock, and a fire pit with a complimentary s’mores kit. The mountains are right there.
