The Wild Butterfly: Room to be together. Space to breathe.
One of the joys of staying in a home is having choices.

Gather everyone together when you want to share the moment or find a quiet corner when you need a little breathing room of your own. With living and gathering spaces on both levels, five bedrooms and plenty of places to settle in, there's room to enjoy the energy of the group without giving up the occasional quiet moment. Read a book. Catch up on a little work. Sip your morning coffee outside in the fresh air. Take an afternoon nap. Then come back together when you're ready.

The Heart of the Home
Light, bright and airy, the open main floor brings the kitchen, dining area, and living room together into one large gathering space. It's the kind of place where everyone can be doing something different and still be together.

Someone starts breakfast while another pours the coffee. A few people pull up stools at the kitchen counter and lend a hand. Someone turns on the gas fireplace and catches the game on the TV above it. Others linger around the dining table talking about where to go that day. There's room to cook together, eat together, relax together, or simply enjoy everyone's company while doing your own thing. And when dinner is over, clear the table and bring out the cards or a favorite board game.

The kitchen is thoughtfully stocked for guests who actually want to cook, with plenty of pots, pans, bakeware, and mixing bowls, along with everyday essentials such as spices and olive oil. You'll also find a blender, hand mixer, and four-slice toaster for everything from smoothies and pancakes to something freshly baked.

And because mornings shouldn't require leaving the house before you're ready, the coffee and tea station has options for the whole crew: brew a pot of regular or decaf coffee, make a French press just for yourself, or steep a pot of green or chamomile tea.

Pack lunches before heading out for a hike or tournament. Make dinner together or fire up the gas grill outside. And when nobody feels like cooking? Give the kitchen the night off and head out for dinner in nearby Olde Town Arvada. That's the beauty of having a kitchen and a home of your own while you're away. And the beauty of having choices.

Five Bedrooms. Comfortable Sleeping for 12.
At the end of the day, everyone has a comfortable place to sleep. The primary bedroom features a king bed, three additional bedrooms each offer a queen, and the fifth bedroom has four individual twin bunk beds - eight beds in all, with comfortable sleeping arrangements for up to 12 guests.

And because a great vacation needs a good night's sleep, every bedroom has blackout blinds and curtains to create a darker, more restful space when the day is done.

Three Bathrooms. Plenty of Room to Get Ready.
The primary bedroom includes a spacious en-suite bathroom with a walk-in glass-enclosed shower, dual vanity, and a private, enclosed toilet area. A walk-in closet gives you plenty of space to unpack and settle in.

The second full bathroom on the main level features a tub-and-shower combination. Downstairs, the third full bathroom offers another tub-and-shower combination along with a dual vanity. A separate door between the vanity and the tub/shower and toilet area makes it easier for more than one person to get ready at the same time.

All three bathrooms are stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash and we've added plenty of hooks throughout the home for hanging bath, pool, and hot-tub towels.

Three full bathrooms. Three showers. Two bathtubs. Less waiting when everyone is getting ready for the day.

From Workspace to Beauty Bar
If vacation isn't completely work-free, a dedicated workspace with seating for two gives you somewhere to open the laptop and get things done. But when it's time to trade emails for an evening out, the same space transforms into a Beauty Bar. A large lighted mirror and multiple electrical outlets create another place for hair, makeup, and getting ready without occupying one of the bathrooms. Wedding weekend, concert night, or dinner downtown? Get ready together, then go have fun.

Movie Night. Game Night. Your Night.
Downstairs, the Media Room is made for kicking back together. Sink into the large sectional or one of the oversized reclining floor chairs, make some popcorn, and turn movie night into an experience with a 65-inch TV and Sonos surround sound.

Feeling competitive? Challenge your friends or family to foosball, go head-to-head on the two-player arcade, or pull out a board game or deck of cards. Or slow things down. Put a record on the turntable, settle into the sofa and simply hang out.

There's no agenda here. That's rather the point.

The Backyard Getaway
You don't have to leave home to feel like you've gotten away. Designed for gathering, playing, relaxing, or spending an entire day doing very little at all, there are plenty of reasons to stay awhile.

Start the morning slowly with coffee under the covered patio. Settle into the sofa beneath the louvered pergola, opening it to the Colorado sunshine or closing it when you'd rather relax in the shade. When the afternoon heats up, the private backyard splash pool is an invitation to slow down, cool off, and have some fun. And if working on your tan is the only thing on your agenda, stretch out on a poolside lounger and soak up the sunshine. Challenge someone to cornhole. Fire up the gas grill and enjoy dinner outside.

As evening settles in, gather around the gas fire pit for conversation and s'mores. Or slip into the private hot tub (six seats and 42 jets!), turn on the jets and let tired muscles unwind beneath the evening sky. With several distinct places to gather, play, relax, or find a quiet corner of your own, the backyard offers the same thing we love about the house itself:

Choices.

So spend an hour outside or let the whole day unfold here. Some days, the backyard can be the destination.

Step outside. Exhale.

You're already home.
