Scenic Solar Mountain Home on Elk Meadow

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!

This property was beautiful inside and out. With plenty of room for two grandparents and a young family of 6. The gardens were beautiful and we all enjoyed the fish, hummingbirds and all the wildlife.we had a great time.

Spotless, comfortable and felt like home! So peaceful. Perfect location for us to go to Red Rocks Ampitheater!

Wonderful views, quiet home. Stayed with 5 adults all bedrooms very comfortable. Well kept property. Tons of hummingbirds! We did see Elk one night and deer several times!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Trice’s home. Lucky to see the elk heard 2 nights. Cries from the coyote pack were cool. A distant moose sprinting to the creek for a drink. Appreciated the binoculars! Hiked most days with a 20-35 min drive to trail heads. Nice abundance of puzzles, books, games with super starlink system which allowed my son to work efficiently. Kitchen was well equip, plenty of paper products and although we brought our seasonings and oil, there was salt, pepper and olive oil available. Although we were skeptical about the waterbed, we found it very comfortable and supportive. Quiet neighborhood. The owner bedroom felt awkward to have no window coverings given the caretaker house was overlooking the bedroom and the deck walkway was right out the windows. Water was nice and cold and got nice and hot, perfect! Loved our stay!!

We loved the secluded mountain views and property. The area was breathtaking. The children’s play area and meadow provided endless possibilities to explore. We loved being able to roam and take in the mountain air and sunshine. My kids and I went on many walks and spent time exploring the creek. The deck was delightful and we enjoyed eating lunch there and watching/listening to the elk. The house is eclectic and cozy. It felt like a “home” and was well stocked. The dinning table, two bar seats, and couches provided ample room to cook, eat, and enjoy each others company. The couches were very comfortable. We enjoyed the shelves of children’s books, the movies, and the pianos. We also played many of the board games provided and found it fun to play some we don’t own at home. The one downside to the property was the beds. Our family prefers traditional mattresses to the floatation (water) bed in the master and air mattress in the basement. We would love to return to enjoy all the beauty Bailey has to offer. This is a beautiful spot to rest and relax.

The view is so spectacular! The wildlife so amazing! Great recommendations for drive’s , places to eat, and shop. It has been a trip of a lifetime for our family. Thank you so much for all your help, your caring about my dad’s breathing problems, and great suggestions on how to help him. You all have been amazing! The house was beautiful, and so welcoming and homey.

We loved everything about our stay. It was exactly what we were hoping for. The views are amazing as well as the owners. We would turn around and head back right now if we could.

From the moment I booked the stay, Trice has been wonderful! Sending photos, directions, attractions and lists of activities to do around the home. All centered around the ages of people in our family. So very thoughtful! Now, about the home, this is the cabin you wish you had in the family. Nestled into the valley of beautiful, scenic and tranquil mountains. What TV?? Ya, you won't want to use it when you stay here! The windows have the best picture! The wrap around porch is where we parked while enjoying our time at the house. All the amenities you would want and have in your own home. We lacked nothing. All in all, 10 out of 10! We will only stay here when we make our next trip out. Thanks to Trice and how we were made to feel like family, plus the beauty of the home and surroundings, we will be back! Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable! You are the best.

We loved our stay! The hosts were so incredibly welcoming and friendly, communicative, and I cannot thank them enough. There are wonderful views all around the home, and plenty of wildlife. Hummingbirds, elk, and all kinds of songbirds. The home was clean, comfortable, and we truly enjoyed our stay. Bailey is a very cute town, and though at first we were a little worried that we’d be in too small a town, we found that wasn’t the case at all. There were places to shop, great restaurants, and a friendly community. It was only half an hour to Red Rocks Amphitheater, and about an hour from Denver, and in that hour we found plenty to see and do and it was not a hassle at all. I can’t recommend this home enough. We’ll be back next year!
