Serene Retreat Nestled in the pines- private & relaxing; Microweddings; Reunions

This estate home is built on 40 acres our family purchased from the original old-time homesteader. It is fondly known as Badger Run. After working the land for several years this stunning 7 bedroom 6 bathroom home became a dream come true and was purposefully situated on a favorite knoll within stately ponderosa pines and nestled off the beaten path complete with a pond, barn, rope swing and panoramic views. It is private, quiet, and Colorado living at its finest with places to walk, play and relax.

The home does not have A/C as it is situated in a high plains area at an elevation of 7500 ft and is equipped with several ceiling fans and many large windows to allow for good cross ventilation on warmer days. Badger is also on a well with wonderful clean Colorado water. No need to bring bottled water!

We can accommodate larger groups for events such as weddings and other gatherings up to 30. Any event over 18 people is subject to additional terms and fees; message us for additional pricing and policies.

We also have a listing across the street that can be rented for even larger gatherings up to 50 (sleeps 16 overnight). This is 1 C Barn, VRBO # 989769. If you contact Andrea, she has additional accommodations 12 minutes away at Pegasus Point, VRBO #3579680. Either of these spaces have discounts available for simultaneous bookings, just mention you have another booking with us!

Required short term rental agreement to follow all bookings via email.
All reservations subject to booking at owner discretion based on the home's schedule. All rates subject to change prior to owner booking confirmation and all bookings require a direct conversation with the homeowners as to the nature of any planned group gatherings. Additionally, for property protection, two outdoor surveillance cameras are installed to monitor our garage and the parking and the rear pond area of the property.

What a Great trip and Great property. We throughly enjoyed our stay and the quiet relaxing property. Off the beaten path and away from town, lights and noise. The pool table was used extensively and we had MORE than enough room to spread out. Thank you for a GREAT trip!

Great place for our whole family to gather with plenty of space and room for all of us. My wife and I, our 4 married children, and 12 grandchildren absolutely enjoyed or stay at your house.

Great location!
Loved the location. Directions are a bit fun to get to the correct turn in, but that added to the secluded aspects the family loved. The temperature was very hot, especially the last full day. The house had thermostats but we never found an actual a/c. Would recommend host add more fan options. Overall, for the 17 of us that stayed in the house, we would do it again (at least in a cooler season).

Great Place for Wedding Guests!
My husband and I rented out this property in conjunction with the 1C Barn across the road for our wedding! It was so convenient for our families to be able to stay here, we could just walk to and from the wedding venue! Everyone raved about how beautiful the house was and we did our first look photos here. It was a wonderful place to stay!

Our stay at this home was everything we pictured it would be. Plenty of room and a very beautiful property. Alyce and Andrea stayed in contact before our stay with any questions we had prior to arrival. We would definitely recommend this property to others looking to stay in the area.

Beautiful property with plenty of space for family. Lots of entertainment spaces. Little touches that go along way to make you feel at home rather than at a vacation rental. Tucked away with a cozy family feel.

Great place for a big family
This was our first year where we have given up on getting together for Christmas due to the hassle and expense of traveling during the holidays. 5 of our 6 adult children, their spouses, two infants and one dog all were able to attend and it wa just the best time! We cooked, hiked, went to the zoo, played board games and just hung out! We were a total of 10 adults plus kids and dog. Plenty of room for all and more of everyone could have come. Communication with the host was seemless and all of our needs were met. Highly recommend!

The hostess with the mostess!
Nice large property! Fit our needs of a sizable group to a T! Our hosts were incredibly responsive and willing to satisfy our every need. We enjoyed the outdoor spaces and the immense kitchen which allowed for socializing while we cooked for our guests. Besides the usual, the pantry was stocked to include complimentary homemade jams and jellies! All in all, an enjoyable stay!

Excellent space for large groups
Our group of 11 stayed here for Air Force academy graduation week. The house is great because there is large community space in the kitchen/dining room/living room. We liked that there is much empty space in the cupboards for food so it didn’t have to sit out on the counters. The pool table/ping pong table was fun to have. And the scenery is spectacular. You won’t be disappointed renting this home.
