Say hello to the Front Range, small town, Rocky Mountain vacation or wedding weekend home of your dreams.
Perched atop an eight story cliff rising straight up from the St. Vrain River
& overlooking the Planet Bluegrass festival grounds, enjoy downtown convenience and privacy, along with breathtaking valley and 14'000 mountain views.
Located at the very mouth of the canyon that leads to Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park, 15 minutes from Boulder, your 1,350 sq. ft, 2 BR & Queen sleeping loft/2 Bath accommodations set at the top of 1/3 acre are a living expression of the local environment - passive solar, native sandstone floors, 16' vaulted cedar ceilings, alpine breezes, unparalleled St. Vrain Canyon, Continental Divide and Steamboat Mountain views from the master bedroom, open living area, large shaded back deck, clifftop patio, and fully fenced backyard.
Causally comfortable and artfully decorated, if you are looking for a place to relax and enjoy seamlessly indoors and out and savor the very best of what Colorado has to offer, you've found your spot. If birds could design a cliff-top castle - and you will see plenty, maybe even our resident eagles - this is likely what they'd build.
By day enjoy the river, spectacular hiking, and trout fishing, or world class mountain biking, by evening grilling and dinner on the deck and one magnificent sunset after another. Start your day with another perfect sunrise and end your night around the propane fire pit, serenaded by the river and windchimes, marveling at the abundant stars.
Make a day of Denver (45 mins) or Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park (30 mins); Buzz into Boulder for world class cuisine, national touring acts and the University of Colorado.
Don't want to break the spell and jump into a car? Explore Lyons by foot with Main Street two blocks from your front door. Start your day on the patio of Moxie at the bottom of the street. Pick up a sandwich at the St Vrain Market and go tubing in Lavern Johnson Park. Visit the galleries, gift shops and antique stores, before craft beers at Mainstage or the original Oskar Blues. Have an exceptional dinner at Marigold or Farra, maybe a cocktail, or award wining whiskey or gin at Spirit Hound distillery. How about some old school pinball before catching some lively local music, or kicking back around the fire pit at the Rock Garden? The possibilities and rewards are endless.
A weekend here will take your breath away; a week will top your heart off with the memory of a lifetime; a long-term stay will ease your spirit and restore your soul.
