Amazing, custom artistic home, hot tub, dreamy mnt. views! May 30-June 8th open

Black Hawk, Colorado, United States

Come enjoy the amazing views of the continental divide and Indian Peaks Wilderness in this one of a kind home! Located just 7 miles from the town of Nederland, 15 minutes from Eldora mountain Resort, 1 hr from Denver, and 35 minutes to Boulder, the house makes you feel like you are way off the beaten path, yet still accessible to so many great restaurants a small towns. The Casita is more than just a vacation rental, it's a piece of art! Carefully crafted with almost all reclaimed materials, this house will truly make you feel at home. There are Breathtaking views of Arapahoe peaks, jetted tub, hot tub, outdoor steel fire pit, gas grill, shower in the master with views of the divide and hammocks!!. The house was initially designed to be a vacation rental and it has a personality unlike any other. It is certainly a one of a kind home! 4 Wheel Drive or AWD is mandatory in the winter and recommended, in general, however, not mandatory in the summer. br The Casita is a modern construction that we have been building since 2012. The house is primarily made up of reclaimed materials with the exception of some of the framing lumber. All of the windows, doors, flooring, cabinets, counters, granite, flagstone, outdoor kitchen, and even all of the appliances came from other resources. We take pride in making luxury out of re-used building materials!br After building our bed and breakfast, Casa Colorado over the last ten years and using reclaimed materials, we thought it would be fun to build another house that could be a vacation rental and would act as an example of a reclaimed design and build project, start to finish. After discovering Resource in Boulder and a few other used building suppliers, I was able to stockpile all of the house parts before we started building. I designed this house by using the pieces that I found, but also prioritizing the artistic integrity, functionality, and overall class of the home. br The house sleeps up 6-8 people, but is probably the most comfortable with 4-6. There is a king in the master bedroom, as well as a day bed with a trundle and a queen futon in the loft attached to the master but separated by French doors. There is a queen in the downstairs bedroom. We have added a 3rd bedroom in a seperate tiny house behind the outdoor kitchen. There are also 4 blow up mattresses and two pack n’ plays for kids. br The Casita Kitchen is built with an open floor plan and features a stained torquoise concrete slab with in floor radiant heat, a beautiful Viking range with a center griddle and a stainless dishwasher and refrigerator. There is also a professional grade blender, coffee maker, French press, espresso machine, 4 slice stainless toaster, and a soda stream for making your own bubbly water. There are professional grade copper pots and pans, as well as stainless for your cooking pleasure. There is a crockpot and a Champion juicer, as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with a full line of savory herbs and spices and a few varieties of sea salts and also fresh organic herbs growing for your convenience (during the grow season).br The lighting in the Casita is really amazing. There are remote controlled full spectrum leds, moroccon sconces up the stairwell, deep blue pendants over the island, and rail and cable lighting throughout the house. Every light in the house has a dimmer. The ability to create a really cool feeling in this house is one of its signature characteristics!br The living room is very quaint and has an 8 ft. cozy designer couch, as well as two comfy chairs. There is a pellet stove that does a great job of heating the space and provides a really warm atmosphere during the winter months. There is also in floor radiant heat in the kitchen and the two bathrooms and radiant wall mount heat in the rest of the house.br There are flatscreen tvs with direct tv in each bedroom and a 55 inch in the living room. There is a Harmon Kardon surround sound stereo system in the living room and speakers throughout the entire house for your listening pleasure. The stereo also has a tablet that you can stream spotify or Pandora or use it to get online. There is also wifi throughout the house. br Design: There are many amazing artistic features to this house. We used custom, handmade tile in the downstairs shower that almost feel ocean like, and tie together the torquoise theme throughout the house. There is a deep blue vessel sink that compliments the tile and sits upon a late 1800's sink basin. There are glass tiles, raku tiles, custom textures, reclaimed 1800’s beams and an ornate Balian architectural piece in the kitchen that truly brings an old world feel to the kitchen. The house feels open and airy and has high, vaulted ceilings. br Hot tub: The hot tub is located right out the back door for easy access and is always set to 104-106 for your comfort. There are two glass enclosed showers, but they are NOT steam showers. They do, however , get pretty warm inside as they are both fairly small enclosures.brbrSkiiing/ Sledding: The house is located about 15 minutes from Eldora Mountain Resort. Eldora offers plenty of downhill terrain as well as a great Nordic Center with miles of Nordic trails to choose from. Sledding can happen right from the house! The location is perfect for sledding right out the front door! The hill is just right out of the front door. Sleds and snow shoes are provided. The house also backs up to National forest, so it feels very private and really there are 100’s of acres of forest right behind the house. We continue to work on the trail system so that hiking and cross country skiing can happen right from the house.br Hiking: During the summer months there are amazing hikes all within a 15-minute drive. We supply the house with trail maps for your convenience. br Closest town: The nearest town is the town of Nederland. It is located just about 7 miles away from the Casita and has an assortment of restaurants, cafes, bike shops, grocery store, co-op, liquor stores and is a really charming, little, mountain town. br Blackhawk is 12 miles from the house, as well. Technically, we are a Blackhawk address, but it’s actually closer to Nederland than it is to Blackhawk.br The Casita is conveniently located 1 hr. from Denver and 40 minutes from Boulder and are a just a short walk from each other in the mountains 7 miles south east of Nederland. It's the perfect getaway from the city life!! Come pamper yourself with the relaxing, cool breezes at 9,000 ft!!

Rocky Mountain Getaway- Divide Views, Hot Tub, Skiing

Black Hawk, Colorado, United States

Live your Rocky Mountain high at 9000 feet, while overlooking spectacular views of the Continental Divide. This beautiful, mountain home is in the perfect location to enjoy all of the best that Colorado has to offer. Enjoy the snow-capped views, amazing sunsets, crackling fire, and shooting stars under a clear night sky. Spot native wildlife including hummingbirds, chipmunks, deer, and an occasional elk or moose. This mountain getaway is perfect in any season for adventurous travelers. Escape the summer heat to the cool mountain air, or soak up the tranquil winter beauty of blanketing snow. brbrPLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT CAREFULLY: br- If you bring more guests than you requested in your reservation you WILL BE evicted with no refund (sorry to be harsh about this but we have to be 100% accurate with our occupancy to maintain our rental permit, and our septic system).br-You will need a 4WD, high clearance vehicle October- May, and a comfort level with mountain driving to get to our remote home. If severe snowstorms are predicted, you will need to park above the house on a parking pad, and walk 50 yards down the driveway. Boots are needed.br-The house is at 9000 feet. Services are not always readily available, we get up to 500 inches of snow, there are no hotel type amenities, and it is a regular home, so things can break or go wrong unexpectedly. Cell phones often don't work, and we don't have cable TV or Netflix- this is a vacation for those who want to unplug. There may be dust on the ceiling fan, or ashes in the fireplace. If these are the kinds of things that will bother you, this is probably not a good fit. br-This is not a 5 star hotel experience. Reviews have a significant impact on our listing, and we want to make sure that you are fully informed so that we can provide a 5 star vacation experience. brbrFAQsbr---How far to Denver Airport br65 miles/ 1.5 hoursbr---How far to the nearest grocery store/gas station/restaurant choices brNederland 8 miles/ 15 minutesbr---How far to Boulder br20 miles/ 45 minutesbr---How far to Rocky Mountain National Park br38 miles/1 hourbr---How far to a ski resort brEldora 13 miles/25 minutesbrLoveland 50 miles/65 minutesbr60 miles/ 1.5 hoursbr---How far to Golden Gate State Park br6 miles/15 minutesbr---How far away are the neighbors brThe house looks pretty much straight out towards the mountains. If you stand outside in front of the house, you can see 2 homes farther down the mountain about 150 yards. One is occupied full time, and the other is a vacation home. There is also a home on the other side of our driveway, about 100 yards from our home. There is a house further up the mountain that can be partially seen, depending on where you are standing outside. We have a fairly long drive, and it feels private.br---Can I bring my dog brSorry, no pets.br---Will it snow brOften. Sometimes way more than other times and the driving can be challenging.br---Does the house have air conditioning brNo. Even on the hottest summer days, it cools off at night.br---How are the driving conditions brIt depends on the weather. Our neighborhood has hard packed dirt roads, and we have a paved driveway. One mile of the drive up the mountain is fairly steep. A 4WD high clearance vehicle is definitely needed in winter November-March, but we can have large dumps of snow as early as October and as late as May. Early and late snow melts fast and is easily plowed, but can cause travel delays.br---Does the house have cable, Netflix, TV plug in for more watching options.... brNo. Colorado has endless, amazing outdoor options, and we love to wear ourselves out during the day, disconnect from all of the electronics, and enjoy the hot tub, fireplace or fire pit, grilling out, and playing games in the evening. There is a large TV and DVD player for an occasional movie night.br---Is there Wi-Fi brYes, but we have the basic package with limited data, so plenty for researching local trails, checking email, etc. but not enough for video streaming/movie watching. Again, we go there to unplug.brbrTour of the house:brLiving Area-leather couch around a redwood slab coffee tablebr-2 sided fireplace between the living and the dining areabrDining Area- pub style table with amazing divide viewsbrKitchen- well appointed modern kitchen with wood cabinets, stainless appliances, and granite counter tops/islandbr-all kitchen needs including coffee maker, toaster, steamer, electric can opener, electric griddle, pots, pans, cooking utensils, dinnerware, glasses and flatwarebr-sliding patio doors in kitchen open to cozy back patio with stainless gas grillbrMaster Bedroom- small, with king bed tucked tightly against the wallbrSecond Bedroom- small with queen bed tucked tightly against the wall, and small bunk above the foot of the bed- only suitable for a child or very small personbrBathroom- small, full bath with tub and shower, limited hot waterbrbrbr
