Welcome to our mountain home in beautiful Empire, Colorado — with 360° mountain views, crisp fresh air, and easy access to some of Colorado's best skiing and outdoor adventure.
This comfortable 3-bedroom home is a great fit for two families traveling with kids and sleeps up to 12:
Sleeping arrangements
Bedroom 1: King bed
Bedroom 2: Queen bed
Bedroom 3: Bunk beds, sleeps up to 6
Living room: Sectional sofa, comfortable for 2 more
The home has a full kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, and the basic cookware, dishes, and utensils you'll need to cook a meal. There are 1.5 bathrooms and a separate laundry room with a washer and dryer. The living area has a sectional sofa, a recliner, a TV, and a sideboard with an electric fireplace. Two doors — one from the living room and one from the dining room — open onto the front balcony for morning coffee and taking in the views. For downtime, there's a flip-top game table with pool, ping-pong, and air hockey.
Location & getting around
Empire sits right on US Highway 40 at the base of Berthoud Pass — a convenient base camp that puts Colorado's best skiing and mountain towns within easy reach:
15 minutes to Loveland Ski Area
30 minutes to Winter Park Resort
45 minutes to Breckenridge
45 minutes to Downtown Denver
Minutes to Georgetown for fishing, shopping, and dining
In spring and summer, you're surrounded by hiking trails and fishing spots. In town you'll find smaller stores, gas stations, and restaurants; the closest large grocery store is the Safeway in Idaho Springs, about 10 miles away. The home has central heating for the colder months.
A note on wildlife: This is a mountain town, so wildlife big and small is part of the experience — depending on the season you may see deer, bears, insects, and more. Please keep all trash indoors or secured, as anything left outside may be spread by animals.
If you're looking for the adventure of the Colorado outdoors with the comfort of a modern home, we'd love to host you. Welcome to Empire!
