About this house rental
The aspens are glorious! Come to Park County, home to some of the largest stands of quaking aspen in Colorado! The gardens here are lush, the elk meadow is verdant and the elk mating season is just beginning. Deer Creek Meadow welcomes you for a relaxing stay, cool nights and warm, sunny, fall days. Come enjoy the most beautiful season in the Rockies, just relaxing, or exploring all the wonders around here. Book your stay now, we'll stay open through Thanksgiving Week, weather permitting. We also host weddings, reunions, birthdays and other celebrations, with special prior arrangement. Remember: We have fiber Internet and cell service--you can work from THIS home!! Or just come for a relaxing getaway and escape the crowds of the city and the I-70 corridor! Plan on a safe adventure here in our mountain paradise, with plenty of hiking and other outdoor activities. This cedar-sided three-bedroom mountain custom overlooks Deer Creek Valley, home to a herd of 200 elk, Great Blue Heron, deer, fox, coyote, several raptor species, and a panoply of birds and wildflowers. Nestled in a Ponderosa Pine forest and surrounded by landscaping and gardens (seasonal), a fire pit, swing set and climbing structure, horseshoe pits, lounge chairs and a gas grill complete the comfortable yard overlooking 280 acres of elk meadow. Close to summer (Evergreen Lake) and winter sports (Summit County), and the best autumn color viewing in Colorado, the Bailey area is known for trout fishing, mountain bike trails, horseback riding, hiking and ATV adventures. Bailey town offers a brewery, winery, galleries and shopping, and the famous Sasquatch Outpost with two new large and furry bipeds! Lush house plants, tropical fish, an extensive library and DVD collection (including children's books and VHS videos), original art, hardwood floors, and a great-room fireplace create a comfortable, homey atmosphere in this modern mountain home. A 6-burner induction range completes the chef's kitchen, part of the great room that overlooks mountain and meadow vistas. A Surround Sound entertainment center upstairs, and an additional ground level family room TV allow cable TV/DVD/VHS/CD/Internet access. The Master suite features a king-size flotation bed and a jetted tub and raindrop shower; garden level bedrooms contain a queen and a fold-out love-seat bed, and a queen Murphy bed. A caretaker on site attends to property maintenance, and is available to answer questions.

The house and grounds were incredible. The deck looks into a meadow that had a nightly herd (35) of elk. We also saw mule deer and coyotes. The house had all the stated amenities and our group was very comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer.

Was a nice place to stay - everything is very accessible with a great view. Lots of wildlife was seen off the deck.

If you are looking for a place to stay away from the 'tourist' strips of hotels and motels, Elk Meadow is the place to be! The home offers all the niceties of being in your own home (3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, full kitchen, TV and internet if needed but highly recommend you put down the electronics and soak in the sights, sounds and smells). You are a short 1 - 1 1/2 hour drive to Denver, Boulder and Colorado Springs with so much to see and do on the way. Also a closet full of games and puzzles to have a family game night and catch up with the kiddos. The meadow behind the house provides the opportunity to see wildlife such as elk, deer, and lots of birds to check out (look up Stellar's Jay!) Owners Lou and Trice were available and very responsive when we had questions about local Bailey restaurants and shops. There are two outside cats, Rutherford and Molly. Rutherford is a little sweetie and may come by to say hello once or twice each day. We only saw Molly once as she is a little shy. Also two hummingbird feeders on the porch which also provide entertainment watching each bird jockey for a position. Check in and check out is easy. If you are looking for a beautiful and peaceful 'home away from home', Elk Meadow is the place to be!

The setting was beautiful. We saw elk in the evenings and a fox in the mornings. The owners could not have been nicer. A caretaker was available incase we needed anything, but we never had to contact her. The house was stocked with everything we needed. They even left us a bottle of champagne. I would love to stay there again.
