Lookout Lodge is perched above some mountain highway switchback curves, high atop Coal Creek Canyon in Wondervu (view). It is nestled in an abundant conifer and Aspen forest, with many rocky outcroppings. The property saw the raising of two sturdy children and they left their swingset, a basketball hoop, a tire swing, and even some disc golf baskets. There is lots to explore, both inside and outside of this fabulous home.
The steps up the front porch reveal a sweet little table and 2 chairs for a quiet morning/evening beverage, and a wood pile for the woodstove in the living room. As you enter the home, you begin to get a feel for just how big 4500 square feet is! To your left, the stairways leading both up and down allow plenty of sunlight in. And to your right is a hall to the laundry room and powder room. In front of you lies the heart of this house. A beautifully appointed space, this great room encompasses the living room, dining area, and splendorous kitchen, wrapped on the west side by floor to ceiling windows so you are about as connected to huge mountains as you can be without being ON them! (You are welcome to go hike on them, of course!) This space gets plenty of sun and is also heated with radiant heat and the wood stove. It is very comfortable.
From the living room, through double doors and down some steps, you enter the primary bedroom, with a king sized bed and its own view of the Divide and a luxurious, en suite bathroom. A walk in shower, two sinks, a freestanding soaking tub, spacious walk-in closet, and a separate toilet room make this dream bathroom a joy to be in! The primary bedroom also boasts a loft! A desk makes this space great for a work station, but it's also a fun little space for reading, games, or just chilling. From the dining area of the great space, you have the option of entering the family room. This is where the serious viewing happens, with a big screen TV equipped with streaming apps. There is an office that can be accessed from the family room, and can serve as a really productive space for the guest that has to do a work-cation.
Back at the entry hall, we can follow the steps upstairs. Shelves of games and another desk area greet you as you approach two bedrooms and a shared full bath with a combo bath/shower. Each bedroom has a queen bed and one has a twin day bed with a trundle for those guests who don't wish to share the bed. It may not surprise you that these bedrooms both look out on the Rocky Mountains. From the main level, we can also descend the stairs to the walkout lower level. Here you'll find a sweet game room! The pool table converts to a ping pong table, and there's a dart board, too! A kitchenette makes gaming more enjoyable because everyone needs cold beverages and snacks! The 4th bedroom is also here, off of the game room, with its queen bed, en suite bathroom with a combo tub/shower and (of course!) its own view of the mountains. Following the lower level hall from the stairs past the game room, you will reach the little bench and shoe tray where you can remove your shoes. The two car, heated garage with an electric car charger, is available for your use, with plenty of other spots to park. Here you will also discover that the owners have left for you some snow shoes and sleds to try! Between October and May, we hope you get snow!
Your group will make memories to last a lifetime! We can't wait to host you in beautiful Colorado!

Welcome to the 4WD Cabin in the Clouds, a hidden gem nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, just 45 minutes west of Denver in Black Hawk. This elevated neighborhood rests atop the slopes of Starr Peak, offering breathtaking views and a truly unique experience.
Please note that a 4WD or AWD vehicle is necessary throughout the year, and during winter, we highly recommend having tire chains for added safety. The journey from 8400' to 9190' elevation spans only 1.6 miles, providing a thrilling ascent to your mountain retreat.
Once you arrive, you'll be enchanted by the blend of cozy and modern aesthetics, infusing rustic charm with chic touches reminiscent of an old hunting cabin reborn. Plus, we warmly welcome your furry companions – it's a pet-friendly haven! (2 dogs allowed, $30/night/per dog)
While staying with us, it's important to embrace water conservation, as we rely on a well system. The well capacity is carefully managed to ensure an enjoyable stay for all guests. With a capacity of approximately 200 gallons in summer and 100 in winter, we advise coordinating shower times and laundry usage, especially for groups of six. To fully appreciate your stay, we recommend parties of 3-4 guests. We ensure you have access to drinking water by keeping two 5-gallon water jugs in rotation in the kitchen.
Prepare for an unforgettable experience as you step onto the cabin's property. With the cul-de-sac as your parking spot, the steep driveway adds an adventurous touch. During winter, we provide plastic sleds to help you navigate the snowy path, adding a hint of excitement to your arrival. The entry stairs are guided by a handrail, ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey to the front door.
Once inside, unwind in the hot tub nestled amidst the tranquil woods, offering a rejuvenating experience while gazing at the majestic mountains. You'll find loaner sleds and snowshoes in the mudroom, setting the stage for thrilling winter adventures in Colorado.
The cabin's interior welcomes you with a spacious layout, featuring an oversized desk, a cozy reading nook with a propane fireplace, and a dining area that transforms into a poker table for added entertainment. The bedrooms may be modest in size, but they offer all the comforts you need. The Primary Bedroom comes with a queen-sized bed and an en-suite bathroom, although the closet is not in use, we provide hooks and a suitcase rack for your convenience.
The well-equipped kitchen boasts a bay window with a stunning view and all the amenities to satisfy your culinary desires.
Step outside onto the deck to revel in the stunning elevation and take in the breathtaking surroundings. The living room is a cozy retreat with comfortable seating, faux furs for added comfort, an electric fireplace, and a flat-screen TV. Enjoy quality time with friends and family, and don't forget to find the cards and poker chips for some classic entertainment.
Two guest bedrooms offer unique experiences, with "The Log Room" featuring a queen-sized bed nestled within original log walls, and "The View Room" providing a full-sized bed and a magnificent vista of the Continental Divide mountains.
In the 4WD Cabin in the Clouds, you'll find an extraordinary escape that seamlessly blends mountain adventure and luxurious comfort. Book your stay now for an unforgettable experience that awaits!
The primary renter must be 25, or older and present for the entire stay - day and night.
Newly remodeled cabin? Check. Capable 4WD vehicle? Check. Tire chains for winter driving? Check. A heart full of adventure? Bring it (and your precious pets!) to the 4WD Cabin in the Clouds. You'll be so excited that you did!
