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 around

During the winter months, it is highly advised to have a 4WD vehicle to traverse through the snow.

The St. Mary's Glacier area elevation above 10,000ft, located N.W. of Idaho Springs at ~7,500ft. 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 offers the use of Oxygen Concentrator (for a fee), if needed.

Otherwise, enjoy the clean, crisp air and serene setting!

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.

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.

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.
