Afterwards, make your way down to the fire pit to enjoy some s’mores as you star gaze into the astonishing night sky. The area is in the Dark Skies association so you will likely be able to see more stars than you have ever seen before
Let the kids (or the kids at heart) have the sleepover of their dreams in the bunkroom and hang out with our house mascot Moosey. The kids can camp out in this double bunk bed room that sleeps four. This house would work well for a group of couples as the three other bedrooms all include comfortable king size beds.
The home is located only 10 minutes from the U.S. top white-water rafting area in the Arkansas river. Enjoy a family-friendly raft trip with Arkansas River Tours or be adventurous on Class 5 rapids with the Rock-N-Row guides. Both of these highly-rated guide companies are conveniently located in Cotopaxi.
You can enjoy a beautiful drive along the Arkansas River over to the Monarch Ski Resort. Monarch offers lower costs and significantly lower crowds compared to the ski resorts closer to Denver but has slopes for all levels from beginners to experts. Monarch is also known for being one of the most family-friendly resorts in the state. Don’t forget about the snow tubing park that Monarch just opened up.

Our family loves to escape the hustle & bustle at this home, and we would love to share that with your family or group as well.

Getting around
Public transportation is not available to and from this home. This house is at the top of Spruce Mountain, and on a rock road. If a large snow storm has just occurred, conditions may require 4 wheel drive, but not likely. However, there is only a few spots with a steep grade on the road. Driveway is very flat, and home is off of circle drive for snow plows to clear all the way to driveway. Inquire with host if it is required for your stay.
