I seriously cannot say enough good things about this house. The property is basically perfect. The only thing we struggled with (collectively) was the altitude, which the hosts do warn about, but be aware that acclimation at a higher elevation is a good idea, especially if you're coming from sea level or planning on exercising.
We enjoyed staying at this house for our work retreat. It was clean and ready for our stay. The owners were very helpful and answered any of our questions.
The house was fantastic! The owners were accommodating and prompt to our needs. The views from the house are amazing, the kids loved playing on the playground and exploring the surrounding trails and woods. The greenhouse is a fun distraction and offers some nice indoor activities when taking a break from the sun. The outdoor grill(s) are a nice touch as well. Overall our party has a great time and would certainly consider returning in the future.
The Greenhouse at Kutsu Point was a great location for us to do all of the sightseeing things that we wanted to do in the area. There was more than enough space for all 10 of us to hang out, whether it was in the beautiful house or gorgeous outside area. The grounds were fantastic, and the views were amazing. We truly had the best family vacation ever! Thank you, Kia, Jamin, and Jacob for sharing your beautiful home with us. We all would love to come back some day!
We had a really great time, so much are hoping to come back next year . The house is so beautiful and clean and fully stock with everything you could possibly need. The views where amazing specially from our masterbedroom valcony. And the owners are really great , any question or concerns they did not take long to respond. Special thanks to Jamin one of the owners he helped us get our truck up to the house.
We booked both levels on this property, which was well worth it! Not only was the main level amazing, but it was great having access to 2 refrigerators and pantry space for groceries. The views from this listing are breathtaking. Only 40 minutes from the Arkansas River for whitewater rafting - a beautiful, scenic drive through the lush countryside. The hot tub was clean and well maintained. You can tell the hosts love this property, and enjoy hosting. There were small touches that put smiles on the kids' faces. Purchased laundry detergent, but the property was otherwise stocked very well. Plenty of condiments and cookware for any cooking needs. We were all sad to pack up - wish we could have stayed longer!
What could I possibly say to do this property justice? There are none really. From the minute you pull into the drive way you get the most breathtaking views. When they say 9,300 ft above sea level they mean be ready to drive all the way to the top of the mountain. You are on a secluded property where all you hear is nature. There in no bad views wherever you are on the property. There are so many trails to hike and kid friendly activities. If you are looking for a Spirit filled vacation or to feel like Tony Montana for a bit (for a price that can not be beat) this is the spot for you. The house is huge and enough space to spread out and truly relax. There are so many amenities to partake in. From a dome with pool, pingpong, basketball and a huge tv. There is an outdoor playground, fire pit, hot tub.... I mean the list goes on. The kitchen is a cooks paradise with state of the art appliances, all the silverware and cooking items you would need to feed an army... And we have an army. The host was even kind enough to allow us to have our small 30 person max wedding there for fee that can not be beat (and trust me we looked everywhere). This spot was so relaxing and beautiful we could not have been anymore blessed. I have stayed at 30+ VRBOs and this is so far my favorite. The minute you walk in the door you feel at peace and at home. From the little notes all over the place to the drawers of complimentary items we all seem to forget. Thank you host from me and my family.
My wife and give our "tribe" (3 married children + six grandchildren) a family vacation as their Christmas gift each year. This has become a very special tradition in our family that our kids never want to end. I have rented a number of high-end, remote, exotic mountain homes...I literally spend an entire year seeking out and finding "the right one." For me, "the hunt" is half the fun.
And The Greenhouse at Kutsu Ridge was no different. We enjoyed this amazing family vacation just last week, and I located this property a year ago.
Please stop reading and don't go! I (selfishly) want to keep it all to myself. Forever.
If what you're seeking to accomplish is a memorable and unique family vacation, you've found your place.
Truly, there are too many positives to list, but I'll name a few.
THE HOUSE - Frank Lloyd Wright meets the Great American Southwest. The house,home itself is stunning in design. A well-built, very high-quality home.
THE LOCATION - Perfectly positioned at 9300 ft. elevation on Kutsu Ridge, overlooking rolling hills to the west. Only 20 minutes out of the town of Divide, but remote. Very remote.
THE OWNERSHIP- The three sibling family ownership group that manages this property is some of the kindest, most caring and best communicating owners I have worked with. I have not met them f2f but yet, consider them friends.

About the host
Hosted by Kia Venegas
Property is owned by siblings Kia, Jamin and Jacob. This beautiful home was designed and built in 2014 by our dad, Don, and our stepmother Valerie. It was built to finance their retirement by offering the best short term rental property for multi-generational family groups to be had in Teller County. Don and Val welcomed their first guests in 2015, and enjoyed hosting several hundred groups since then, earning nearly all 5 star reviews.
Why they chose this property
Above the clouds at 9300 ft, we have 40 private and secluded acres of marked trails. 6 BR/ 3.5 BA and unlimited views. Enjoy 2 huge patios with grills, plus the hot tub, fire pit, and pergola with seating for all. The kids will enjoy our playground slide and more! The house has 2 full kitchens, living rooms, and dining rooms. Your bonus space is the spectacular 1000sq foot domed greenhouse.
What makes this property unique
The home boasts 2 primary bedrooms, each with en suite bathrooms. The upstairs primary bedroom has a luxury open-concept bathroom with a huge tub, a double shower with bench and 6(!) shower heads plus steam, and even a bidet!
All additional bedrooms are very spacious (with the exception of our tiny "nook" room on the lower level, which sleeps 1 - perfect for that teen that needs their own space!)
When gathering with your large group, you have so many options to enjoy the space together: Outside you have the upper and lower patios, each with their own built-in grill; the firepit/playground area, and the 40 acres of trails! Inside you have upper and lower living rooms which extend open-concept-style into the dining areas and kitchens, both with island and stools. The most special indoor space is our beautiful 1000sq ft domed greenhouse, providing a large indoor space to gather and enjoy sunshine.
There are absolutely no visible neighbors unless you count the local wildlife walking past your bedroom window.
