Colorado Dream Vacation!5 min to Lake House!Next to nothing,close to everything!

Welcome to our Next to Nothing, Close to Everything , Rocky Mountain Home in beautiful Evergreen, Colorado! Colorado Dream Vacation!

Partial remodel and new pictures completed! Main level has new flooring, paint, trim, and lighting!! Relax and take in the amazing view! Take a deep breath, and be glad you're here!! The second you climb the stairs into the main living area and set eyes on the view, you'll be mesmerized by the softly swaying branches on the trees that give way to the magnificent, huge granite outcroppings, snow-capped mountains, and bright blue skies as far as you can see. Rest, relax, and breathe deep, knowing all you need in order to enjoy yourself is the key! The only other homes you'll see, are on other mountains, not next door!!! Yet, you are 5 minutes to town, restaurants, shopping and all kinds of attractions! Not to mention hiking on 1100+ acres directly from the front door! Property sleeps a max of 8 people.

The house, with Air Conditioning, sits on a sprawling 4.25+acre estate, joined by over 1100 acres of park land:
• 3 bedrooms, including a master with a king bed and en-suite bath & flat screen TV; guest room #1 with queen bed; guest room #2 (2 stories)with queen bed plus a sleeping loft with queen bed
• 2 ½ bathrooms
• A fully-equipped kitchen with stainless oven, single bowl SS sink
• Dining room - dining table plus 3 bar stools at the breakfast bar
• Living room - open to dining and kitchen
• Upstairs Loft - a second living space filled with a queen Sleeper Sofa, and mounted flat screen TV, games, and music options
• Laundry room
• Hot tub
• A VERY private breathtaking view of the sun rising and setting over the surrounding mountains!
Please note there is no access to the garage!

The main floor features an open-concept design, with the kitchen, dining, and living room areas all connected so you, your friends and family can gather and enjoy each other's company. Also on the main floor is the master suite, laundry room, powder room, and a huge deck with dining table, overlooking the mountains.

Part of the home's charm is it's feeling of tranquility and privacy – you can't see any other homes from your perch on the deck, except for those on other mountains, far in the distance – but you're still close enough to town (just over 3 miles) to have convenient access to grocery stores, shopping or dining at one of the fabulous nearby restaurants. This unique location allows a blend of solitude and opportunities for socialization, making it perfect for you, your family, and friends. Both House and optional Cabin are thoughtfully decorated Mountain style, with your comfort in mind! Why come to the Rockies and not have that warm, cozy, rustic(but not overdone) Mountain feel!? You'll find it here!

Completed Rental Agreement & copy of Drivers license MUST be returned to the email address on the form within 24 hours of payment. Reservation confirmation will not be sent, guest will have to cancel and money will be returned without receipt of the Rental Agreement. WE DO NOT ACCEPT American Express, regardless of options on this website. GUEST HOUSE NOT INCLUDED without additional fees, in this reservation. Maximum of 8 guests. We will gladly consider reservations less than 5 nights, if only those nights are available. No smoking is allowed anywhere on the property. Call or send inquiry!

Also available, as an option, is the unique guesthouse, (Cabin): an open-loft bedroom upstairs, with a King Bed, provides additional square footage and an overall airiness, mimicking the breathtaking altitude outside. From the walls to the ceiling to the bathroom, everything is custom. There is no AC in the guesthouse. The guesthouse is heaven with it's own private hot tub, and you're invited!

The outdoor area surrounding the physical property is every bit as enthralling as house and guesthouse. The house sits on 4+ acres and abuts parkland that totals over 1100 acres of gloriously untamed wilderness. One of our favorite things to do is just sit on the deck and relax. It's easy to forget your cares when you feel the pine-scented wind softly ruffling your hair as the sun lazily drifts through the clear, blue sky. The sights and sounds here are second to none, with critters of all shapes, sizes, and colors coming and going as they please. We have elk, deer, chipmunks, fox, and all kinds of birds.

Hot tub aficionados take note: while drinking in your share of the cool mountain air, you may be visited by Fox E. Brown. Our resident friendly fox has kept us company through a few hot tub excursions and beautiful sunsets, grooming himself from his perch on the rocky outcrop that juts out over the tub as we soaked. Don't worry, he never jumps in!

While most people think of mountain destinations like Evergreen as a seasonal experience, there are so many things to do and places to go within a short distance that Colorado Dream Vacation is truly is a year-round destination. Summer time is a great time for fishing, hiking, bike riding, checking out local festivals and mountain parks. Kids have a great time at Dinosaur Ridge in Golden/Lakewood. The zoo in Denver is phenomenal too! Right around Evergreen, there's canoeing, paddle boats, and tons of walking/hiking trails in Evergreen and the Lake. In the fall, don't miss the Aspens and the leaves turning to the fire neon gold! Absolutely stunning!

There are so many great roads with outstanding scenery to take short trips, up to a full day trip, returning to Colorado Dream Vacation, and the warmth of the hot tub, with the view! Winter, of course, is skiing for your whole family, about an hour away in Breckenridge, A Basin, Keystone or Winter Park. Nearby Echo Mountain caters to snow boarders, and there's always old fashion sledding on the property.

Evergreen Lake is so close and there's still so much to enjoy there! Ice fishing, ice skating, hockey, along with of course building snowmen, and snow fish, and whatever you can imagine making! Spring brings snow melt, which is a great time for white water rafting! Spring is beautiful with the spring flowers, and the smell of newness in the air! Horseback riding is great fun virtually all year long, and indoor swimming is at Wulf Recreation Center in Evergreen.

Don't forget how close you'll be to downtown Denver too! Professional hockey, football, and baseball are 30-40 minutes away! Red Rocks Amphitheater is about 20 minutes away with a history of world class musicians taking the stage. Don't miss the view of Denver from here, or the museum that in the lower level-it's amazing!

I could go on and on about all the great things there are to see and do in the area, so close to the house and cabin, yet you'll feel a world away, when you get home from the day's activities, slip into the hot tub, with a beverage of your choice, watching the sun go down!

In June 2012 we received the first short-term rental permit issued in Jefferson County. It was a difficult permit to attain, but we managed it, and we work hard to maintain the necessary requirements to keep the permit in effect. To date, there are still only a few legal short-term rentals in all of Jefferson County. We are the only one within 5 minutes of downtown Evergreen and the Lake House! If in doubt, ask for a copy of the permit! Ask us, and ask others! Most others are illegal! Illegal operators can be shut down at any time. Don't risk your valuable vacation, time, and money!

Fire safety is paramount in Colorado, especially in the mountains. Therefore, no smoking is permitted anywhere on the property, inside or outside. Period.

We have many, many more pictures on our website, ColoradoDreamVacation. Please feel free to ask questions!

Perfect location for an Evergreen Lakehouse wedding
The proximity to downtown Evergreen and all of our pre-wedding and wedding activities was great! We enjoyed the mountain vista and wildlife viewing. The property is peaceful and relaxing as well. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with utensils, glassware, etc. Communication with Sandra was easy and efficient.

Sublime!!
We stayed at this rental for a family wedding in the area. The location is close to Evergreen, but once you’re “up the hill”, it is so private, and the views are amazing. There is plenty of room for family members to spread out and the kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our time here, and you will too!!

The Colorado Dream Vacation has been the best vacation we’ve ever had! The home is absolutely beautiful with breathtaking views and Sandra, our host, was wonderful. We loved that the kitchen was fully stocked, there were lots of games for the kids to play, and plenty of bedding and towels. The hot tub was great in the mornings and nights and we saw a lot of wildlife.
