Beautiful view 2 miles above sea level

A place apart from the ordinary , two miles above sea level, 1800sq. ft. this owner built home offers a serene place to visit and experience the world from this unique perspective Enjoy the changing aspens and crisp air. We built this very spacious house with all the contentious details not found in regular construction. Our master bedroom and bathroom on the main level has outstanding views of Mount Evans all the way to the plains of Denver. We just added a deck that is on the main level on the east and south side of the house as well as a hot tub located in an inclosed part of the house on the west side.
Also a bedroom on the lower level with a full bathroom. Great room down stairs with televisions both floors. Pool table on the ground floor. Our house is built for the extreme weather conditions of the area, we heat with a combination of radiant floor heating and a wood burning stove, this home is so much fun in the winter, we call it a snow globe home and no air conditioning required in the summer. Walk out the door and you are on the trail to more adventures, forest service land and four wheeling trails are right outside . The very popular St. Mary's hiking trailhead is nearby. We are THE destination place for ruby throat and rufus hummingbirds, "Hummingbird happy hour at the Clark's". They have moved on but we know they will be back mid May We built this home in 2005 designed for the extreme environment of life above 10,000 ft. Four wheel drive vehicle required in the winter.
This property has three security cameras. Two on the front porch to keep track of guest coming and going and to check on snow levels. The other is in the mechanical room pointed at the boiler and the sewage lift station. The sound is turned off of course. We have also installed a battery back up system that will prevent any loss of data while working on your computer. We have Broadband internet service.

We look forward to hosting your next getaway.
There is a $50.00 per pet fee for pets.

Great and restful landing place near St. Mary’s Glacier

We very much enjoyed our stay. The house is cozy, the hot tub and giant bathtub were very nice and relaxing. The views that you wake up to in the morning were absolutely stunning. The game room was also a nice addition. It was very quiet, we enjoyed reading on the deck And relaxing. The kitchen was well equipped and everything was easy in terms of check in and communication.

Perfect place to unplug

We wanted a place to get away from it all. We were able to enjoy snow falling, puzzle building, a warm wood fire and the bonus hot tub. It was lovely.

Great place!

Great remote location, very peaceful area. The deck is a great place to sit and relax, and watch the hummingbirds. The hummingbirds were impressive! Be ready for a lot of gravel switchbacks getting to this gem in the wilderness.

We were there during a bit of a snow storm, and while a little difficult to reach during that storm, it was still a beautiful stay and everything was clean, and well maintained.

Mountain getaway

Great views, close to trail, fun games and relaxing. A bit hard to find due to missing street signs for final two roads, but worth it. Map it ahead of time.

Fantastic views

We really enjoyed this beautiful property. Nestled high up in the mountains, we truly felt like we got a real mountain experience. The views out the windows were spectacular and we even had three moose wander through the property one afternoon. Thank you for the hospitality-we really appreciated it!

Didn't even get to stay

Apparently the owner had his account set to automatically book and didn't know it so he didn't know that I had booked the cabin so it wasn't clean and ready from the last people. I got there and it felt like I had surprised someone by opening the door because there was still mail on the table, a cup of tea and some food on the counter and towels on the bathroom floor. I was freaked out and had no way to contact the owner because their info wasn't shared online so I could only reply to my confirmation email to ask what happened. Unfortunately, I ended up driving all the way back home and it was 9 pm before someone contacted me to let me know about the error and to ask if I wanted to go back. Nope. I was so scared when I got there because I honestly thought there was a squatter or someone there and it freaked me out. I took a couple of pictures and got the heck out. I was told my reservation would be cancelled and would get a full refund. I hope so.

Beautiful Mountain House

Loved the location: away from the crowds, hiking trails to Loch Lomond and reservoirs are in the neighborhood (definitely need 4 wheel drive for those roads to the trails), close enough to Mt. Evans and national forests. Went to sleep to a panorama of stars from the bedroom window and woke up to feeders full of humming birds and a view of snow covered mountains. Priced very reasonably for all it came with! Our family enjoyed shooting pool and playing the games supplied in the evenings. The kitchen was well supplied for cooking for a family.

overall amazing

The house is located in a very nice location in the Mts outside of Id Springs. We had snow and a lot of winds which we played a lot in with the dog! The only complaint was it had not been cleaned very well before we arrived, we needed to wash sheets, clean a shower and the upstairs couch had been used by an animal maybe a cat, as a litter box, however the overall experience was wonderful and the location and sunrises can not be beat, as that is why I still gave the property a 3, the owner is very reachable and responsive!
