Breathtaking Views in North Castle Pines

The spacious main level of our rustic, country retreat offers a large, fully-equipped kitchen with everything you need to prepare wonderful meals. With the open layout and plentiful large windows, you can enjoy the majestic mountain views from the kitchen, living, and dining areas. The wood-burning fireplace is perfect for curling up with a book on the cooler evenings.

The dining/living area has a large, Smart TV and plenty of seating for the whole family. The expansive wraparound deck offers many additional seating options for enjoying the wildlife and views from several vantage points. With a grill, an outdoor fire table, and a large umbrella for your comfort on those hot, sunny days, you’ll have everything you need to relax outdoors and create lasting memories in this idyllic setting.

The main level of our charming home also includes the master bedroom with a comfortable, king-sized bed and an en-suite Jack and Jill bathroom, with a tub and shower, that connects to the main bathroom. The second bedroom on the main level offers a twin day bed with a trundle bed underneath, along with a library. For families traveling with young children, we also have a pack 'n play available.

In the bright, walk-out basement you will find two more bedrooms with comfortable king- and queen-sized beds, a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a washer/dryer, two desks (including a printer and monitor for your work needs), and a den with a lounge area. The den offers another TV and wood-burning fireplace (basement fireplace is not for use).
 
Our wildlife haven sits on three acres of private land covered in scrub oak, wildflowers, and natural beauty. It is truly a nature and outdoor lovers’ paradise.

ENTERTAINMENT


For your streaming needs, we have high-speed internet and three smart TVs located in the upstairs and downstairs living rooms and the master bedroom. They are Smart Roku TVs—designed for short-term rentals. With live channels, guests can watch their favorite streaming channels (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, Max, You tube, Disney, Apple etc) by logging into their own accounts. Upon checking out, login information will be deleted automatically based on the check out date.

We have horseshoes, bocce ball, and lawn darts available for you to enjoy with your friends or family during your stay!

Longer term stays are welcome! Please inquire about discounts and terms.

TRAVELING WITH CHILDREN

For those traveling with children, a pack ‘n play is provided. Please watch children carefully outdoors. The deck is high from the ground in some areas. There are vertical railings for safety and protection, but we wouldn't want children attempting to climb the railings. Our property is also a haven for wildlife including bobcat, coyote, bears, and deer, so young children and pets should not be left unattended.

CHIMINEA

The chiminea must be moved into the yard if used (located on lower patio). Always check if there are any Douglas County fire restrictions before having a fire.

RVS

Plenty of parking space available to bring your RV!

PEST CONTROL

Please note that this is a country environment surrounded by trees, brush, and wildlife, including rodents and insects. We proactively manage this with a regular pest control service and have also had the home professionally sealed to help prevent activity inside. To help us keep the home pest-free, please avoid leaving doors open or food exposed, as this can attract unwanted visitors.If you have pets with you, please be mindful of the rodent bait stations around the property and ensure they do not access them.

NO-SMOKING OR VAPING

Smoking or vaping is not permitted. A home recovery fee of $500 will be charged if there is a smoke smell following a guest’s departure. If lingering smoke causes the next guest to cancel their stay, the cost of the cancelled reservation will also be charged.

If smoking outdoors, please extinguish and throw all cigarette butts in the outside trash bins. Please do not leave cigarette butts in any indoor trash bins.

NO PARTIES

A fine of $1,000 will be charged for any unauthorized parties that have not been approved by the host. If additional guests arrive that were not pre-approved by the host, your reservation will be cancelled, and a refund will not be issued. If the home is left filthy, damaged, or if items are missing, additional fees will be charged.

EVENTS & SMALL WEDDINGS

Small, pre-approved events are permitted at this property. This includes intimate weddings and gatherings of up to 45 total people (maximum 8 guest to stay the night).

All events require:
• Prior written approval
• An event fee of $1,500
• An additional event cleaning fee
• Compliance with local noise ordinances and quiet hours

Events may not include open-invite parties, amplified music outdoors, or unapproved vendors. Unauthorized events or exceeding the approved guest count may result in immediate cancellation of the reservation without refund.

QUIET HOURS

For our neighbors’ sake and noise-ordinance laws, please observe quiet time between 10:00pm - 7:00am.

PET POLICY

- Pets must be house trained and always supervised.
- Pets must stay off the furniture, including the beds. If pets have been on furniture, it introduces allergens and requires extra cleaning, which takes considerable time to completely remove pet hair prior to the next guest’s arrival.
- Please pick up after your pets and take any waste directly to the outdoor trash bins located beside the garage (opposite side of the carport). There are doggie bags in the cubbies in the foyer and a pooper scooper hanging next to the outside trash bin. After use, please return it to the same location.
- Please vacuum or sweep if your pet sheds excessively.
- Post-stay fee of $300 will apply for any rug messes, evidence of pet incursions on furniture and bedding, or for removal of animal waste from the grounds, in addition to any damage-related expenses.
- If pet damage/incursions causes the next guest to cancel their stay, the cost of the cancelled reservation will also be charged.

We truly appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us keep the home comfortable for all guests — both with and without pets!

CAMERAS

There are cameras at the front door and by the garage for security purposes. Tampering with or covering cameras in any way compromises security and is grounds for cancellation without refund. Tampering with locks or any security equipment, or disrupting the internet service is strictly prohibited. These devices are in place for the safety, security, and smooth operation of the property.

PROPERTY BOUNDARIES

We have three acres of land to explore. If you pass the gate at the bottom of the hill or you will be trespassing on our neighbor’s property.
