The Space:
The location puts you within easy reach of the region’s most popular attractions and activities.
This home will take your breath away with its upscale mountain-house architecture and its exterior colors evocative of a Rocky Mountains sunset. It feels designed to wrap you in the beauty of its natural surroundings with an expansive deck that hugs the length of the house and provides plentiful space for outdoor dining and relaxation.
When you step inside, you’ll immediately notice the wide-open, airy feel of the main level and the gorgeous, rustic-contemporary decor. The foyer is a broad space that flows directly into a living room with an inviting sitting area clustered around a fireplace. Plump leather furnishings include two sofas and a deliciously oversized chair-and-a-half with an ottoman. Sink in and unwind! Gorgeous Colorado daylight pours into the space through two sets of sliding glass doors that book-end the hearth and lead to the wrap-around deck.
An open doorway and a half-wall provide a view into the spacious kitchen/dining area, where a table for eight sits in a sunny nook, ready to host big family breakfasts and unrushed dinners fueled by good stories and punctuated by laughter. The kitchen is a warm, friendly space with everything you need to make yourself truly at home, including a refrigerator/freezer with a built-in ice and water dispenser, a full-size range, microwave, dishwasher, and double-basin sink. Other thoughtful details include a toaster, tea kettle, cooking utensils, a collection of spices, and a full set of chef’s knives. Cabinetry and counter space are abundant, and a large kitchen island provides a central place to prepare food while facing the dining table. Conveniently located off of the kitchen, you’ll find a powder room with a generous-sized vanity.
Three of the four bedrooms in this home are luxury suites with private baths, queen beds, and TVs.
Suite #1 on the main level features a stunning tray ceiling and a mountain view. In the en suite bath, a soaking tub with water jets will ease muscles sore from a day’s hiking, and it stands alongside a lengthy double-sink vanity and oversized shower stall. The toilet is tucked discreetly behind a door in its own separate alcove. A tremendous walk-in closet provides more than enough space for storage.
Suite #2, also on the main level, includes its own sitting area with a sofa centered in front of the TV, a desk, and a large closet. The private bath includes a shower/tub combo with a large sink vanity.
This level is also served by a laundry room with a full-size washer and dryer, iron and ironing board to keep you looking spiffy whether you’re staying on business or for pleasure. A wide staircase connects the main level with the lower level, where the home’s most entertaining indoor space awaits. A gigantic recreation room provides a large, comfy TV viewing area with a plush sofa, plus two jumbo chairs and ottomans. Standing nearby in a cozy niche with a fireplace and big, bright windows is a round gaming table that seats six, plus two club chairs and a collection of board games for rainy days or after-dinner fun. In another part of the room, a collection of arcade games brings fun to kids of all ages, including Pac-Man, air hockey, a ping pong table and foosball.
A set of double doors leads from the recreation room to a super-cool bedroom with four built-in queen bunk beds, a big TV, a set of bean bag chairs, and a sliding glass door leading to the outside patio. A great place for kids – and with that extra TV downstairs. Occupants of this room have a dedicated bathroom on this level.
Another luxury suite on the lower level has a fresh, feminine feel and provides a king bed, desk, and large TV, as well as a comfortable reading chair and table. The private bath includes a tub/shower combo and a sink with a spacious vanity.
The deck that hugs the rear of the house is long and luxurious, and provides various seating areas for break-out conversations or admiring the spectacular mountain views. One deep section of the deck serves as an outdoor dining area with a grill and a large rectangular table lined with benches. A short distance away from the house, a firepit stands encircled by ten Adirondack chairs, just beside a hot tub that will accommodate up to seven guests.
Although this home does not have central AC there are ceiling fans throughout the home. The region has mild weather and our evenings are generally lower temperatures so you can open the windows for natural coolness.
Guest Access:
Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities, and that extends to every facet of your stay, including our hot tub. To keep it in optimal condition, we have a professional hot tub technician visit our property once a week. This maintenance visit, usually lasting about an hour, ensures that the hot tub is kept clean, functional, and ready for your enjoyment throughout your stay.
Rest assured, these visits are designed to be non-intrusive. The technician only needs access to the outdoor area and will not disturb your indoor privacy. We schedule these sessions to ensure minimal disruption to your relaxation and aim to provide you with a seamless, top-notch experience.
We will send you detailed instructions no less than 48 hours prior to your arrival after you complete our verification portal. You will have privacy and access to the entire house using your special code given upon booking. Front door has a Yale smart lock.
The Neighborhood:
This spectacular home is located on the edge of the public Shining Mountain Golf Course, in the heart of desirable Woodland Park. People love to stay (and live) in Woodland Park because of its fantastic central location between the urbane pleasures of Colorado Springs and the rich array of natural wonders, outdoor activities, and other attractions of the Rockies. Woodland Park is also a convenient hub of plentiful dining and shopping.
Outdoors enthusiasts will find no shortage of exhilarating experiences in the area, including hiking, rafting, hunting, fishing, skiing, snowshoeing, ziplining and much more, most accessible in under 30 minutes. Canyons, open spaces, lakes, falls, and trails abound, as do charming mountain towns.
Notable area attractions include the Garden of the Gods, where ancient, 300-foot-tall sandstone rock formations tower overhead and make for the most dramatic selfies you’ll likely ever take, just a 24-minute drive away. The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo with its distinctive, picturesque mountainside setting is home to a wide variety of animals (38 minutes). Once-in-a-lifetime views are the gift of Pikes Peak (or “America’s Mountain,”) standing tall at 14,115 feet. The summit can be reached from your location in 1 hour and 10 minutes. Closer to home, you’ll find yourself quite literally surrounded by hiking trails.
A drive to Colorado Springs takes just 30 minutes, and there you’ll find an exciting array of museums, art galleries, and cultural centers, as well as unique shops and award-winning eateries, breweries and lounges.
