Welcome to Pines & Peaks Mountain Retreat! #pinesandpeaksco
Nestled near St. Mary’s Glacier, this luxury mountain retreat offers year-round adventure. Enjoy hiking, skiing, and breathtaking views of the glacier and St. Mary’s Lake. After exploring nearby attractions like historic Idaho Springs or Loveland Ski Area, relax in our high-end furnished cabin with a private hot tub and stunning mountain views. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a family adventure, this home combines modern comfort with natural beauty, just steps from endless outdoor activities!
Inside:
Upon entering you will be greeted with stunning mountain views and a well designed space. Every room upstairs has breathtaking views from over 10,000 feet! This extravagant vacation retreat is split between 2 levels offering different options for entertaining and space for the family to spread out. Our main level has our kitchen, dining table for 6, living room and master bedroom w/ an en-suite bathroom. The loft is accessed through the master bedroom. (Please note the loft is not private, as it is above the main floor bedroom and living room). Retreat downstairs and you will find the family living room, 2nd bedroom, 2nd bathroom and the access to the deck and hot-tub. The sleeper sofa is located in the downstairs family room along with a small desk for catching up on emails or work with free high-speed Wi-Fi.
-Were consistently adding new features not always represented in the photos. A few to note are a new propane grill, new linens & towels, and a new PlayStation 5! *considering bringing your own games as we have several sports games and will continue to add* -
Our 2 bedrooms are equipped with high-end mattresses and pillows, Smart TV’s w/ Roku for your streaming services, noise machines, and furnishing from West Elm and CB2. The loft is equipped with a Casper mattress. Please note: The main floor bedroom does not have curtains on the top 2 windows. If you plan on sleeping in, please travel with eye masks. There are also 3 decorative cutouts up high in the wall between the main floor bedroom and living room that can take away from complete privacy.
Outside:
Once on our outside deck, you will find our hot-tub overlooking stunning mountain (Pines & Peaks) views. In late spring and summer, enjoy the sounds of our man-made water fountain, that pulls water from a stream which rolls through our property. The natural wild flowers are a sight to be seen too!
Getting out? Hike St. Marys Glacier Trailhead, Visit the Historic Argo Gold Mill & Tunnel or drive down to Indian Hot springs. In the winter, visit Echo Mountain for Skiing, Snow Boarding or Tubing or access many ski locations that are within an hour and twenty minutes (listed below). The summers are ideal for nearby rafting, hiking, fly fishing, zip lining & more!

We are located 10,500 feet above sea level. Located off of I-70, we are a 20-minute drive up the mountain with the last 0.50 miles of the drive being a gravel county-maintained road. Our driveway is flat making parking easy. You will need to walk down about 20 steps to access our home. We do require AWD or 4WD during snowy months (October-June). Strictly two cars per reservation maximum.

Notes
If it snows during your stay guests may need to shovel the deck/pathway to clear a path. We have snow removal service after every major snow storm ends but it is likely you may need to shovel snow. Ice melt is usually readily available. 4WD vehicles are required October - May and AWD is required year-round. Please inquire prior to booking if you have questions regarding road conditions. If roads are open and you can't make it to the rental no refunds will be issued.
Parking for 2 cars is the maximum.
STAIRS
You are required to go down 20 steps to reach the front door.
WEATHER CAMERA
There is one outdoor security camera we use to monitor weather.
LOFT
The loft is accessed by a built in ladder and is connected to the master bedroom.
HOT TUB
Our hot tub servicer rotates the service day. It typically falls Sun-Wed. This can vary. There is a chance the hot tub will be serviced during your stay. When the water is changed, it takes 12-24 hours for the water to reheat. If this occurs during your stay, we cannot guarantee the hot tub will reach the desired temperature at that time. Hot tub rules posted at the property. If our hot tub rules are not followed and a water change is needed due to mistreatment of the tub, we will charge a $150 change fee.
CHILDPROOFING
Guest understands that no special efforts have been made to “childproof” this house and accepts the risk or harm to any children/infants we allow on the property.
CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT
After submitting your booking, you'll receive a thank you confirmation message, and 48 hours prior to check-in you'll receive additional instructions for your arrival.
ALTITUDE
Remember, you are at 10,000+ feet - the altitude means that your body will need to adjust to thinner air. Drinking plenty of water and taking frequent breaks if you feel winded is recommended. Please check with your doctor before booking if you may have any conditions that may be adversely affected by a higher altitude. Our Property Manager does offer the use of Oxygen Concentrator (for a fee), if needed.
We value hospitality and strive for a 5-star experience, and hope you enjoy the clean, crisp air and serene setting!
