About this property

Explore this Mountain Getaway in National Forest. Refresh and Relax.

The Summit is a new, custom home surrounded on every side by Pike National Forest in Woodland Park, Colorado and located within a gated community. You have to look and listen hard to see or hear neighbors! The home is within walking distance to Rampart Reservoir and only 35 minutes from USAF Academy. We are also 10 miles from the base of Pike's Peak and 10 miles from The North Pole (Santa's Work Shop). Additionally, Woodland Park has a new Aquatic's Center that's just 5 miles away.

The Summit boasts unparalleled views of Pike's Peak from a Modern Scandinavian design. The open floor plan upstairs allows everyone to stay connected: be inspired as you commune with family in large living areas, or reminiscence with a glass of wine in a luxurious gourmet kitchen. For those who desire quiet time, curl up with a book on the comfy chair in our reading nook, or enjoy an intimate conversation at the downstairs bar. Music lovers will enjoy the vintage Baldwin concert grand piano; outdoor lovers can relax upon locally reclaimed furniture on the downstairs walkout patio, then take advantage of our two decks--sun bathe on the master bedroom private walkout deck, or grill and eat on the spacious walkout kitchen deck.

The Summit has radiant floor heating and is without AC as it sits at 8800 feet; so, on a warm day simply open over-sized windows if necessary and enjoy the cross breeze, access the master bedroom fan, or use various mini fans available.

We feel so blessed to have found this home for our friends and family to stay at on our wedding weekend, as well as to use this space to host our wedding itself! It was an absolutely perfect weekend and we were so sad to leave that incredible view. Tyler and Eve were amazing to work with. We hope to be back in the future!

I can’t even put into words how amazing Tyler and Eve’s home is. It has the most breathtaking view of pikes peak that I have ever seen. We were lucky enough to host our micro wedding at their home over Labor Day weekend. It was everything we could’ve dreamed of and more. Tyler and Eve were so accommodating and great to work with. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. We can’t wait to visit again in the future!!

The property is as beautiful or better than the pictures and the communication with the owner was the best we’ve had since we started using VRBO. I highly recommend this for anyone considering a vacation in Colorado.

Best Venue Ever

Not only did it live up to online description, but the home provided more than we expected. To the point where we had extra of things because the hosts had already thought of everything. We stayed the whole weekend and were so pleased with the accommodations AND the ease with which it turned into a venue. Unbelievable and unforgettable.

Eve and Tyler have created the perfect space for celebrating with friends and family. The space was fantastic! Smaller cozy nooks up to big spaces where we could all be together.

The perfect wedding venue

We hosted our wedding at the Summit House and spent three nights here for the most wonderful weekend imaginable. Words cannot describe how beautiful this home and the views are. Every one of our guests were blown away and we couldn’t believe the attention to detail in every spot of the home. All of the decor is amazing you could get away with not decorating for you wedding at all. When we arrived too early the children were so helpful watering flowers for us and gathering rocks like little helpers. The hosts were so attentive for every detail and accommodating throughout the wedding planning process. We got the enjoy the perfect micro wedding with all of our favorite people for an entire weekend rather than just a few hours at a standard wedding which would have cost more.

Home sweet home

Let me just say, the host went above and beyond for us! Being that we are not familiar with the mountains they assured us that they would meet us and get us up to the house, they did just that! We are interior designers so we pay very close attention to detail and I must add every space was beautifully put together. It felt like we were right at home! I can’t wait to go back and visit again. Even though the drive to Breckinridge was about 2 hours I’d still take that drive and stay in this beautiful home!

About the host

Hosted by Tyler and Eve Lawrence

Host profile image
We are the Lawrence family, made up of 6: Elsa (7), Davis (5), Caius and Cruz (twin 3-year-olds), Mom (Eve), and Dad (Tyler). Tyler is an Assistant Principal and Eve is a Group Fitness Instructor/Trainer by day, and Professional Mom by day and night. Elsa is a little Mommy, and the boys are boys--dirty and destructive:)

We started our journey 3 years ago as homeowner-contractor-builders with a dream to build a home isolated from the city. Finally, after successes and failures, our dream home is complete. Adventure and exploration are important to our way of life. From hiking to rock climbing, paddle boarding to sledding, The Summit provides endless opportunities to experience and engage nature in its grandeur.

We started the building process with an essential purpose in mind, which was to share our home with others so that they might experience freedom. Freedom to experience nature without hesitation; freedom to be alone and quiet; freedom to reflect with loved ones; freedom to escape life's expectations; freedom to refresh and reset; freedom to have fun.

It is our hope, desire, and prayer that anyone who visits The Summit will find what they are looking for. We are honored and excited to provide an unforgettable experience.

Sincerely,
The Lawrence Family

Why they chose this property

Eve grew up on this mountain, often hiking to the undeveloped property for prayer time. The Summit was at first a piece of land upon which the county said we'd never be able to build. Eve and I, before and during marriage, would often hike to The Summit with dreams of a future that felt palpable but sill impossible. For five years, family worked tirelessly with and against "the powers that be" to subdivide the land. And years later, dreams and prayers were actualized.

What makes this property unique

We were unsure whether or not to put a TV in the upstairs great room, and after a week of living in the home, we realized that our Pike's Peak view was better than any hulu original or Netflix documentary. Beyond that, our favorite moments are sitting with the kids on the great-room couch, identifying forms and characters of the ever-changing clouds shaping Pike's Peak. The Summit has centered us to regain what's perhaps been lost in an overly-busy and technological-driven society: we value the importance of slowing down, embracing conversation, and appreciating what it means to be an old soul.
