My wife, children (5,8 yrs), and I recently stayed at this new mountain home and are already planning our return next year. The home is absolutely amazing! It’s perfect for a family getaway and would comfortably hold a much larger group than ours (we only used two of the six beds). The bunk beds in the “kids” room were the largest I have ever seen in my life, custom made timber structure with queen size mattresses.
We arrived late at night after driving from Denver (consider Eagle… much closer). The house is about a 10-15 minute drive from the I-70 highway. When we awoke in the morning, we were greeted with the most spectacular views from inside the home. The mountains, valleys, and sagebrush prairie landscape show through the many enormous windows making us feel completely immersed in the Colorado mountains.
Outside, a stone patio adjoins the living room and makes a perfect outdoor dining or gaming space. Another patio, across the lawn, features four Adirondack chairs and a 360 degree view perfect for morning coffee sipping or night star gazing.
The owner spared no expense in outfitting the home with all of the most modern amenities including luxurious bathrooms with radiant floor heating and kitchen with high end appliances. The house has separate climate zones for each room so that everyone can personalize to their comfort needs. Large, smart TVs are in each room (LR and three BRs) when downtime is needed. The rental home also has several green-building/ eco-friendly features detailed in the manual.
The rental feels very private. There are only a few distant neighboring homes visible since each lot in this area is 40+ acres according to the owner. The owners’ home is on the same 40 acre lot as the rental but it is at a lower elevation and you don’t see much more than their roof top. The owners were very friendly and responsive to any questions I had during the stay.
We saw bunnies, deer, and many birds right from the backyard. We passed the time walking/biking/driving the many miles of dirt roads of the land surrounding the home. We also hiked nearby peaks and did a few light paddling trips down the Colorado river. Being so close to Beaver Creek, the home would definitely make an excellent home base for a future winter ski trip.
I highly recommend this rental. It stands out as truly unique for the picturesque, serene mountain setting that pours in through the many windows and surrounds you outside.
