4BR Walk to Lake - Dog-Friendly Family Home - Game Room & Fire Pit

Mountain Retreat with Adventure at Your Doorstep

Welcome to your home-away-from-home in the beautiful foothills of Palmer Lake. Just a short walk to the lake, trailheads, coffee shop, and local dining, this spacious retreat is the perfect base for family getaways, weekend escapes, and outdoor adventures.

The living areas features cozy gathering spaces, a warm gas stove, and plush furnishings designed for relaxation. The fully stocked kitchen and open-concept layout make it easy to cook, chat, and unwind together.

Entertainment for Everyone: 
The great room includes a 65” Roku TV, foosball, and air hockey—ideal for movie nights and friendly competitions. Families will also find a Pack ‘n Play, highchair, baby gates, and kids’ toys to make traveling with little ones easier.

Outdoor Oasis
: Step outside to your private backyard retreat with a propane firepit, grill, outdoor dining area, and seasonal gardens. We also provide inflatable paddle boards and a kayak so you can enjoy the calm waters of nearby Palmer Lake and Monument Lake.

Comfort in Every Season: 
Radiant floor heating keeps the home cozy in cooler months. During warmer months, you can use the windows for the evening’s cool, mountain air thanks to the higher elevation. For additional cooling, seasonal portable AC units are available in select bedrooms and may be moved around as desired.

Whether you’re sipping morning coffee with mountain views, gathering for game night, or exploring trails right from the neighborhood—this home offers the perfect blend of comfort and Colorado adventure.
