Welcome to The Retreat House, a beautiful estate that sits on dozens of acres surrounded by Colorado beauty with a landscape of wildlife, pine trees and sweeping mountain views. Fall in love with the surroundings and the backdrop of the Rocky Mountain range! This 7,300 sf house has three levels of well-designed living space. There is plenty of room to spread out, and numerous gathering places to enjoy time with friends and family. The Retreat House is ideal for large families, corporate retreats, and small group gatherings. It can host up to 18 guests (overnight + day guests). This property sleeps 18 comfortably (2 per king/queen bed, 6 children’s bunks, 1 full-size sleeper sofa in loft area). Our published pricing is based on an occupancy of up to 16. Up to 2 additional guests can be added at $52.50/person/night. Renters who exceed the occupancy limit and/or falsify occupancy information are subject to eviction and additional fees. House parties (having day guests), unless pre-approved in writing with correct details, are strictly prohibited and grounds for immediate eviction and additional fees. Day guests will be billed at $36.50/guest/day, if not pre-approved in writing. Day guests are any guests beyond those paying to spend the night. If your overnight count is under 18, the owner of this property does allow one larger gathering of a few extra people (no more than 18 max at the house with overnight + day guests), i.e. for a meal. Number of guests, date and start/end time will be needed in advance and must be approved in writing.

This home is located in an area that can get heavy snow and although we are vigilant with having the driveway plowed in the wintertime, we highly recommend 4-wheel drive vehicles. The roads are easy to navigate in the summertime, no special vehicle needed. Smoking outside only and because we have a family member who has severe dog allergies, we have a firm no pets rule. Violation of these policies will result in a full forfeiture of deposit.

Availability of property: If something happens to the point that the house is not habitable, owner is only responsible to refund any received payment for unused nights. We take great pride in our properties, but guests must realize that things break, and owner has a team available to address any problems that may occur. No refunds will be available if owner makes reasonable efforts to correct these problems during the guests stay, and the house is still habitable.
