Majestic Mountaintop Retreat! Luxury in a serene setting All seasons family fun

Come experience mountain living at its FINEST in this spacious home at the top of Spruce Mountain. Enjoy the breathtaking views of the San Isabel Mountains from practically every room in the house or look as far as Pikes Peak while exploring the 32 private acres.

This luxurious home is designed for your family or group to have plenty of space to gather together in the main floor great room around the warm stone fireplace, the oversized kitchen island, or in the basement family game room.

You can prepare meals in a chef’s dream kitchen complete with granite counters and a double oven after a day of rafting, hiking, or skiing nearby. The kitchen is fully stocked and ready for you to enjoy any holiday meal in the 8-person dining room or at the eat-in kitchen table.
While this home allows you to relax in the peace and quiet of nature, we are now connected by Space X to their EXTREMELY high-speed internet as well as a cell phone booster, to allow you to stay connected as needed. This will easily let you to work remotely or continue remote schooling in a beautiful setting. What’s better than being able to social distance at the top of a mountain.

Enjoy a glass of wine on one of the home’s two vast decks while watching the majestic sunset. Afterwards, make your way down to the fire pit to enjoy some s’mores as you star gaze into the astonishing night sky. The area is in the Dark Skies association so you will likely be able to see more stars than you have ever seen before

Let the kids (or the kids at heart) have the sleepover of their dreams in the bunkroom and hang out with our house mascot Moosey. The kids can camp out in this double bunk bed room that sleeps four. This house would work well for a group of couples as the three other bedrooms all include comfortable king size beds.

The home is located only 10 minutes from the U.S. top white-water rafting area in the Arkansas river. Enjoy a family-friendly raft trip with Arkansas River Tours or be adventurous on Class 5 rapids with the Rock-N-Row guides. Both of these highly-rated guide companies are conveniently located in Cotopaxi.

You can enjoy a beautiful drive along the Arkansas River over to the Monarch Ski Resort. Monarch offers lower costs and significantly lower crowds compared to the ski resorts closer to Denver but has slopes for all levels from beginners to experts. Monarch is also known for being one of the most family-friendly resorts in the state. Don’t forget about the snow tubing park that Monarch just opened up.

No matter if you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime or a relaxing get away, this home provides the amenities, location, and space to make it to happen. Our family loves to escape the hustle & bustle at this home, and we would love to share that with your family or group as well. We love that with just a short drive we can hit the ski slopes, hike the trails, enjoy a beautiful horseback ride in the mountains, or visit the Royal Gorge. Please let us know how we can accommodate your group in this beautiful secret area of Colorado.

We have stayed in a bunch of VRBO’s, but this place takes 1st prize! Perfect for our family/extended family get together. I personally loved the winding, gravel road up to the top of this mountain from Cotopaxi. About 9500 ft above! I’ve already recommended it to several people back here in Mn. Thanks Ben…just an absolutely awesome place!!

House was wonderful. Nice to have 3 king size beds and a bunk room. Kitchen was large and amply equipped. Powered blinds and good sunblocking blinds a definite plus. Fire pit was the best we ever had seen. Cabin is at 9200ft which gave us some awesome views. Except for.the steep winding dirt road to get there, it was perfect.

Colorado Christmas
We are avid VRBO’ers and this is by far the most beautiful view we’ve ever had. The property is absolutely beautiful and very well stocked. Between the gorgeous views and Christmas Eve snow we felt like we were in a Hallmark Christmas movie! It’s conveniently located between Monarch Mountain and the Royal Gorge, both directions are gorgeous drives. Seriously enjoyed ourselves! My only complaint is that our pictures don’t do it justice!

An incredible stay.
Our stay was lovely from start to finish. The house is spacious, the views are stunning, the kitchen is well equipped, and our hosts were communicative and kind. I would highly recommend if you're looking for a mountain getaway. With that, do know it truly is a mountainous area. The road to the house is dirt and hilly, and (not surprisingly) snowy when it snows. The host kindly messaged prior to our stay to loop us in to road conditions, and we had no issues in all wheel drive and two wheel drive vehicles, but if you're not accustomed to snow it's worth noting. Oh goodness! I almost forgot to mention the views. Sunset and sunrise from the primary suite and living/dining rooms are breathtaking. If you can, make time to be at the house for them at least one in your stay. You won't regret it.

The Perfect Thanksgiving Getaway
We had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful home with family for Thanksgiving week. The accommodations, while depicted beautifully on-line, were even more stunning in person. The kitchen was well-appointed, the bedrooms were extremely comfortable. The decor of the home was terrific as well. We had breath-taking views from the house: the stars at night and the mountain range during the day, punctuated by a beautiful snowfall Thanksgiving evening that were all post-card perfect. The fly fishing just down the mountain on the Arkansas river was amazing. The hosts were gracious, and we look forward to another visit.

Great mountain retreat near great activities
We had an amazing time at this wonderful home. The views from the home are absolutely stellar. It is important to know that this home is a good 20 minute drive up a mountain, hard packed dirt road and off the beaten path. But after a fun day of biking, hiking, rafting, the extra drive up the mountain is definitely paid off with the views. The home is well stocked and they have exceptional WiFi and cellular access at the home, so that is never an issue. There was initially an issue with one of the showers, but the owners were immediately responsive, and had it fixed right away. The rooms were very comfortable. The kitchen is great. There are a ton of games for the kids to use. The only thing that may be nice is an extra tv in the downstairs living room so the kids can watch something in a separate room from the adults. But, to be honest, after renting many homes across the country, and dozens in Colorado alone, this home is near (if not at) the top of the list. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely stay there again.

A Relaxing Retreat with Peaceful Mountain Views
Our recent stay at the Blue Spruce Chateau provide a quiet and relaxing environment with breathtaking views of the Sangre de Cristo mountains. This spacious home provided ample room for our family, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone. The interior was tastefully decorated with a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The amenities provided in this mountain top retreat were exceptional. The kitchen boasted top-of-the-line appliances, making it a joy to prepare meals with our loved ones. The comfortable bedrooms ensured a restful sleep, and there was plenty of space to gather as a family or retreat to our own space for moments of solitude. The owners had thoughtfully stocked the home with everything we needed. The host was attentive and accommodating, and they promptly answered any questions we had. Their warm hospitality made us feel right at home. It was evident that they genuinely cared about ensuring their guests had a memorable and enjoyable experience. Thank you for a great experience!

So many extras and supplies, kitchen extras and really all comforts of home. Views and hiking the 32 acres kept us entertained when not exploring Westcliffe or Salida or surrounding mountains.

Only negative was a faulty Wifi which made iit problematic for those who needed for work zoom calls etc. All efforts from our host owners and local support couldn’t fix but I’m sure it will be remedied soon.
