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.

Additional Specs and Amenities:
Can accommodate for babies and toddlers
Indoor games
Cornhole and family-made swings
Trampoline
Kids "strider" and bike
Kids dress-up clothes and toys
Downstairs living area with Apple TV

We had the time of our lives hosting our wedding here. We were so grateful to Tyler & Eve for opening up their beautiful home to allow us and others to get married here. It was so convenient to have our family and friends stay with us, and having the venue be the house is the dream combination! So gorgeous, clean, and the best location possible. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing time hosting our wedding here! The home is stunning, and you obviously can’t beat the views from all over the home. I’m jealous of all the future brides who will get to have the completed reception space in the future. Tyler and his wife were extremely likable and willing to do whatever was needed for me and my family.

We booked this site as a venue to host our small wedding so that our party could stay there and it did not disappoint! Everyone immediately fell in love with the views and the house was beautiful. Unfortunately there were a couple issues with the houses drainage system, but even if we had known this in advance we still would have chosen this location as we were able to work around them. The hosts were also extremely responsive and accommodating, even offering reimbursement and different solutions to the issues we encountered. They are already actively working with experts to solve this so I would not let this deter anyone from booking this location! our weekend here was the most magical experience and all of our friends would love to book it again to relive our special day!

The house is super comfortable, well-designed and decor right out of a HGTV show! We loved hiking out the back of the house and enjoying the view in from inside the house. Was just perfect to sit in the backyard, read, chat and enjoy the spectacular views. It’s was the perfect getaway.

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.
