About this property

Beautiful House Overlooking Lost Creek Wilderness

At the end of a 2 mile gravel mountain road, custom built, full view of mountains and river valley, private. This 2010 house has nothing behind it except mountains and forest. Look down the property to the Pike National Forest and to the North Fork of the South Platte River below. There is mountain hiking on the property and all around the area with fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing nearby. There are only four other houses at the end of this road. This property does not just have views--it is in the 360 degree view. You are a part of the scenery. With 7.4 acres touching the Pike National Forest just go out the back door and view the beauty of the Colorado Rockies. This property welcomes writers, artists, lovers, hikers, anglers, and all those who want a special retreat away from life's stresses and the hustle-bustle of city life. Better hurry, we are BOOKING UP FAST for the whole year.

CAUTION: THIS LISTING IS NOT LEGITIMATELY ON CRAIGSLIST



Retreat: If you want to get away from Denver for a long weekend, or stay for a month as you write a novel, Big Rock Mountain House welcomes you to a brand new, modern, gorgeous mountain home that is casual, comfortable and custom designed to be a contemporary cabin experience. You will be surrounded by nature, tall pines, firs, wild large and small animals. You can hear the sound of water rushing from the rapids of the North Fork of the South Platte River far below you, or the wind rustling through the forest. Go to the bottom of the property, look up, and see that you are literally on a BIG ROCK. Sit in the 8 person spa under the stars. Take a bath in the 6 foot 7 jet spa for two located in the master bath, look out the window and have a glass of wine. Sit on the balcony and look at the 180 degree mountain views. Rock on the back patio in huge log rockers or relax on a lounger.

Hikers and Anglers Welcome: The house overlooks The Lost Creek Wilderness. Hike the property--on one side, climb down the rock outcrop. On the other side, climb through a dense alpine forest to the plateau below overlooking the river valley. There are many other places to hike. Hike to South Twin Cone Peaks, Platte Peak, Payne Benchmark. Take a drive and go to Kenosha Pass, Windy Peak, The Castle, The Taryall Mountains, Puma Peak, or Mount Evans Wilderness to name a few. Anglers can fish in the river below but access is from Bailey and must be on public land. Or you can go to Pine, Shawnee, Boxwood Gulch, Blue River, Long Meadow, Chatfield Reservoir or many other fishing holes near and far. For details, check with The Knotty Pine in Bailey.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Must be at least 25 years old to rent or have a responsible party willing to assume financial responsibility. A copy of a drivers license or passport or other government ID is needed.

This is a NON-SMOKING property without exception. No open fires on the property. No glass or bottles (beer or wine bottles) or any other breakable glassware outside. Polycarbonate or non-breakable containers are provided. No foodstuff should be left outside unattended at any time including trash so as not to attract wild animals. No guns, hunting, pellets, paint balls or shooting anything on the property. No golfing on the property.

If you are caught smoking you will forfeit your deposit and any remaining days at the property without refund and you will be asked to leave. Any open fires, doing anything that may set a fire, or shooting of firearms on or near the property will lead to the local sheriff being called and you may be arrested, fined, asked to leave without refund or all of the above. No exceptions.

There is a local newspaper 'The Flume' and a summer and winter guide called 'Summer or Winter in the Park'. This is good information about attractions in the area.

Great place for a vacation

The place was beautiful and the view was amazing. Great place to relax and the hot tub at the end of a day of hiking was an awesome way to unwind. Waking up to the mountains always set the day off perfect. Great place to stay. Definitely keeping this on my list for future stays.

Second time we stayed here and everything was clean and well maintained. Great view. Internet was a little slow through satellite, but to be expected on location. Could still stream through Roku. Direct TV onsite.

Great house, great view, convenient to numerous natural sights. Excellent for a relaxing vacation.

Property was well kept and was well stocked with items normally needed in a vacation home. Everything that a family would want for a summer or winter vacation was available. Sleds, badminton, pool, darts, all kinds of board games. You name it it was there. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for relaxing get away.

SPECTACULAR!

This house is amazing. They views from this property are breathtaking! The owners are awesome and this house has everything you could ever need. We will ABSOLUTELY stay here again, in fact a friend of ours that came up to visit while we were there and lives in Denver took all the info to book this for all her family at Thanksgiving. Thank you so much for an amazing getaway Jaron and Jeffery!

Great location, amazing views!

Came from NC to see Billy Strings at Red Rocks and wanted a great place to stay. This place exceeded my expectations! Absolutely immersed in the mountains, we got to wake up every morming to a beautiful landscape. It even snowed one day in the middle of May(we don't get that in NC). The house was also very clean and the owner had everything ready for us. If I ever come back to CO, I would definitely rent this house again!

Big Rock Mountain House

Two years ago, we stayed here and enjoyed it so much, we decided to come again. Was a little worried that the second time might not quite live up to the first but it actually exceeded our expectations and was every bit as good as we remembered it, maybe even better! Love the beautiful views and the home is extremely comfortable. Drove to Vail for lunch. Breakfast at Cutthroat Café down the road. Hiked down behind the house and to the top of Mount Bailey. Trip went by far too quickly and we already look forward to returning one day.

Amazing views!

First time staying at a mountain house and I along with friends were absolutely blown away by the views. The first day driving in was difficult because of a snow storm leaving behind ice on the roads. 4wheel drive is a must! The home was clean and the fireplace along with the hot tub got plenty of use. Don't expect extreme internet speeds here considering you are in the wilderness but it's fast enough to check emails and get work done.

Great spot

My wife and I worked remotely from this home for the week. Great spot. There is a limit on internet usage that we were not planning on (used my ATT plan and my wife used the house wifi). Overall the house was amazing and VERY well stocked. The kitchen had everything (and was in great condition). Lotsa puzzles in the pantry also if you are a puzzle person. Comfy beds also (which is something you do notice as you get older like us). The housekeeper/cleaner was top notch also and it was obvious she took great pride in her work. Definitely recommend to anyone staying in the area / wanting somewhere cool outside of Denver.

Breathtaking Views

This house is amazing, very well stocked with everything you need for cooking and relaxing. Very clean and in top condition. The road to get to the house is a little intimidating at first, but we adjusted throughout the week. It would be best if you have a rental car to get an SUV. The views of the mountains are amazing, I could just sit and look out the window or from the patio for hours. The hot tub was just what we needed after traveling and hiking. Will definitely stay at this place again when back in Colorado! We did three shows at Red Rocks, and it was about a 45 minute drive. Denver is about an hour away.

Perfect Choice

We loved everything about this mountain home! Our overall first impression was this place is stunning….then after a day you really appreciate the details. The lighting fixtures, the quality of the windows, the placement of the master shower windows. I can’t remember the last time I had a sunrise in the shower! The landscaping was beautiful. The kitchen was so well stocked we just bought the basics, milk, orange juice, eggs, bacon, etc. The oven was wonderful the coffee/drink bar was fun. At night, the outside lighting was beautiful. Bailey was a great location for a home base. There are very comfortable swivel club type chairs in the living room. In the morning you can have a cup of coffee and swivel around to one of the huge windows and have an amazing view. Just a beautiful property that has thought of everything!!

Breathtaking Home/Property

This house and its surroundings was beautiful. Has all the amenities you would need. It was very spacious. We were blown away with every small detail. Great location, amazing mountain views, quiet and absolutely perfect for our Thanksgiving family get away. We played board games, put together puzzles, went snow sledding, and even played pool and ping pong in the garage. When we were ready for some relaxation, we soaked in the hot tub or snuggled in front of the fire and TV. Highly recommend. A shout to Jaron the owner. He was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay. We plan to stay here again and perhaps can make it a yearly tradition for our family.

Beautiful Mountain Getaway

With breathtaking views and plenty of peace and quiet, you couldn't ask for a nicer stay for a mountain getaway than this. The house is clean and has everything you need to just relax, unwind and get away from it all. It's close enough to shopping and dining out, but secluded enough for solitude. The neighbors are quiet but friendly and if you're out for a stroll, be prepared to have an enjoyable chat with anyone you encounter. Before, during and after our stay, Jaron was very accommodating and responsive to whatever we needed and made the entire process seamless. There are a lot of choices when it comes to a rental, but here, you get peace of mind. Don't hesitate to book this stunning home. You will not be disappointed!

Beautiful home and outstanding views!

Home is gorgeous, incredibly well stocked kitchen, very nice furnishings, clean, quiet. Super nice for our extended family ranging in age from 2-85 years old. Beautiful views from every window. Fireplace and hot tub very nice on cold evenings. The only frustration for us was the limited amount of data usage available without incurring extra charges. With 6 adults , various tasks to do on the internet and no way to know how much usage there had been we were a bit stressed about that. Never had limited data usage at a vrbo before. Otherwise - just an incredibly great experience and home!

Fabulous Girls Get-a-way

What a wonderful, restful, beautiful retreat! The home, amenities, and surroundings were everything and more than what was depicted on the website. The air was crisp, the view breathtaking, the energy palpable, and the wholeness of the entire package enveloped us in a true healing coccoon. We enjoyed a lovely snow-filled trip to Breckenridge, had a fabulous local masseuse come treat us with inhome massage by the fireplace, and treated ourselves to a gourmet lunch and wine tasting at the local winery - simply fabulous! I must also say how much we enjoyed being watched over by Sparky - what a delightful gentleman - he's a real jewel! Needless to say, I look forward to returning many many times in the future. Thanks so much for sharing your home and beautiful space with us!!

About the host

Hosted by Jaron Winston

Host profile image
I have always loved Colorado. We use to drive for 16 hours when I was in college just to spend a long weekend in the mountains. When my kids were growing up, we would all go and everyone loved the change of scenery from the hills of Central Texas to the majestic Rockies. When I told my family 'I don't know why I bought land and built a house in Colorado', my daughter reminded me 'Dad, you love Colorado, we always went there as kids'. It made perfect sense to her. I do love Colorado and so will you.

Why they chose this property

Incredible. Overlooking the Lost Creek Wilderness with 180 degree unobstructed views of National Forest. Yet, only 1 hour from the big city and 1 hour and 20 minutes from downhill skiing. You can't find beauty like this just anywhere.

What makes this property unique

7.4 acres of mountain property in a natural wilderness area with all the amenities of a modern home. Clean air, quiet, nature all around.
