Beautiful family retreat

We absolutely loved the stunning views from this mountain top home. The layout of the home was perfect for the 10 of us. The kids had their own space downstairs with a huge flat screen TV for great movie watching and a pool table. We loved relaxing on the veranda with breathtaking views. Our property contact, Trish, was amazing responding immediately to any question we had. We loved our stay!

As your hosts, we're committed to making your stay exceptional. We're passionate about sharing Colorado's hidden gems. Whether you want to relax in nature or embark on adventures, we'll help tailor your visit to your interests, ensuring you leave with lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

Estes Park, a gem nestled in the heart of Colorado, is renowned for its natural beauty and outdoor adventure opportunities. It’s a place where wildlife roams freely, and the landscapes inspire awe at every turn. From the bustling downtown filled with charming shops and delightful eateries to the tranquil shores of Lake Estes, the area provides a perfect blend of relaxation and recreation. The proximity to Rocky Mountain National Park, with its extensive network of trails and scenic drives, makes Estes Park a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

Our location at the summit of Ram’s Horn Mountain within Windcliff Estates takes full advantage of this vibrant setting. Casa de Cristal offers the very best views in the entire region, presenting a panoramic spectacle that rivals the famed vistas of Switzerland. Here, the grandeur of the Rockies unfolds before you, with sweeping views of snow-capped peaks, verdant valleys, and the expansive sky. The elevation not only provides breathtaking scenery but also instills a sense of seclusion and tranquility, making it feel like a world apart from the hustle and bustle below.

What I enjoy most about this neighborhood is the unique combination of natural splendor and community spirit. The sense of being immersed in nature while having access to the amenities and activities of Estes Park creates a lifestyle that is both enriching and fulfilling. The tranquility of the mountain summit, the beauty of the surroundings, and the proximity to outdoor adventures offer an unparalleled living experience that continues to captivate us and our guests at Casa de Cristal.

What makes this property unique

Casa de Cristal distinguishes itself as an extraordinary retreat, primarily due to its unmatched location atop Windcliff Estates on Ram’s Horn Mountain. This vantage point affords unparalleled panoramic views, making every glance through the expansive glass windows a connection to the breathtaking beauty of the Rockies, evoking the spellbinding vistas often associated with Switzerland. This fusion of nature's majesty with the pinnacle of luxury living crafts an immersive experience that stands out distinctly.

The home's architecture and recent remodeling accentuate its unique allure. Incorporating modern luxury within the rugged beauty of the mountain surroundings, the property boasts a professional-grade kitchen, tranquil bedrooms, and inviting outdoor spaces. The massive outdoor patio area, complete with Adirondack chairs and an outdoor dining table, encourages relaxation against a backdrop of magnificent views. Here, the LP grill awaits, ready to transform a simple meal into an unforgettable barbecue under the stars.

For relaxation and leisure, Casa de Cristal offers exclusive amenities that further set it apart. A private outdoor hot tub provides a serene escape for rejuvenation, while the sauna offers a warm retreat for relaxation and detox. The social hub of the home centers around the pool table, promising evenings filled with entertainment and camaraderie.

Additionally, the thoughtfully designed accessibility features of Casa de Cristal ensure comfort and ease for all guests. With an elevator and a layout requiring no more than three steps to access any room, the property is welcoming to everyone, including those with mobility challenges and the elderly. This commitment to inclusivity highlights our dedication to providing a hospitable environment for all visitors.

With its spectacular views, modern luxury, comprehensive amenities, and thoughtful design, Casa de Cristal is a sanctuary for relaxation, entertainment, and unforgettable experiences.
