A charming rendition of the whimsical A-frame house, popularized in the late 60s and 70s in modern architecture. The house is reminiscent of a shingled chalet, but with a California influence in its soaring rustic wood ceilings, tall windows, and relationship to the rugged hillside into which it is built.
The house has four levels: the main level area with kitchen living room and master bedroom, double bed and bathroom. There is a sitting area that opens onto an outdoor deck, 2 bedrooms, one twin and one queen bed on the lower level with bathroom and fireplace and a generous loft on the upper level with 2 twin beds. It is a house designed with imagination and a certain playfulness, with opportunities for several sleeping area as well as privacy zones.
Perhaps the most compelling aspect of the house is its proximity to downtown Estes Park (a short walk down Davis Hill) and its view of the town’s valley and its surrounding mountains. The house is directly opposite the iconic Twin Owls rock formation, and has a long view of the Stanley Hotel in the distance. At nighttime, the lights of the little town twinkle below.
The house is built into the side of a hill, with a dramatic rock formation on the perimeter of the lot; the “back yard” is routinely frequented by mountain wild life including deer, elk, foxes and even the occasional bear. It is a window to Colorado Rocky Mountain living, but with a style and charm rarely found in more modern versions of the mountain home. Sleeps 5-7
