Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms: one with a king bed and another with a Full/Twin bunk—ideal for kids or extra guests. These share a full bathroom off the hallway. A small loft space is also accessible via ladder for a cozy reading nook or play area.

Downstairs, the queen bedroom includes a small desk—perfect for remote work—and a private ensuite bathroom. All bedrooms offer ample pillows, closets with hangers, and drawers for convenient storage.

The recently renovated bathrooms feature tub/shower combos, and there's an additional half bath located just off the kitchen. In-floor radiant heating keeps the entire space warm and comfortable.

Step outside to take in the mountain air and views. The main deck features Polywood patio furniture and Adirondack chairs for lounging. A second, smaller deck off the kitchen includes a Blackstone Griddle for outdoor cooking.

The house is just minutes from Purgatory Resort, making it the perfect basecamp for mountain adventures year-round. In the winter, hit the slopes for skiing and snowboarding, or enjoy sledding and a variety of dining options at the resort. When the snow melts, summer fun takes over with activities like the mountain coaster, alpine slide, and scenic chairlift rides.

Outdoor lovers will also appreciate being close to both Electra Lake and Haviland Lake. Pack a picnic, cast a line, or explore the water by paddleboard—rentals are available nearby. For details on day use and access, check the Electra Lake website before you go.

If hiking is on your list, the Elbert Creek Trailhead is just down the road near the Needles Country Store. This is the starting point for the beautiful Castle Rock trail. Parking is limited—look for a few designated spots at the far south end of the lot near the old cattle pens.
