Escape to Serotonin Chalet, a secluded modern cabin retreat in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. Enjoy breathtaking views, expansive floor-to-ceiling windows, a hot tub deck, 3 bedrooms on separate levels, 2 bathrooms, and family-friendly amenities. Explore hiking, fishing, several state and national parks, a wolf sanctuary, and so much more just moments from your front door. Immerse yourself in serenity and create lasting memories in this unique mountain cabin escape. ๐ช THE GREAT ROOM: Wall-to-wall windows with serene forest and pond views. At the heart of Serotonin Chalet lies the open-concept living and kitchen area, featuring 16 ft. tall ceilings and magnificent floor-to-ceiling windows that offer uninterrupted views of the mountainous landscape and alpine pond. The blue stain pine ceiling sets the perfect modern cabin ambiance, complemented by the pellet fireplace, new furniture, and remote-controlled blinds. Despite the feeling of being worlds away, you can stay connected with the 250mb Starlink WiFi, 50" smart TV, and Bluetooth-enabled record player. A fresh winter snow will have you feeling like you're living in a postcard. ๐งโ๐ณ KITCHEN: Fully equipped and fully stocked to feel like home. The fully stocked Chef's kitchen, centered around a large island, provides everything you need for family meals. From cooking basics like oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, 16 spices, coffee, creamer, and tea to appliances such as an instant pot, air fryer, blender, toaster, and coffee maker, we have you covered. Additionally, you'll find an abundance of kitchen utensils and gadgets to assist you in preparing a feast. The dining room features an expandable table, offering the flexibility to accommodate up to 6 guests, with two additional bar seats at the kitchen island. ๐ THE DECK: Mountain and pond views, hot tub, BBQ, sunsets, and stars. Is a cabin really a cabin without an amazing deck? Endorphin Deck is the ultimate destination for immersing yourself in the breathtaking surroundings. Perched above an alpine pond, it provides the perfect vantage point to observe wildlife as hummingbirds flit by and deer come for a drink. While we can't guarantee sightings of deer or bears, you'll be treated to sweeping views of Colorado's countryside pine forests stretching as far as the eye can see, with distant mountain peaks making their presence felt. Choose your spot on the deck to indulge in the views: the 5-person, 30-jet hot tub, the outdoor dining table, or just cozying up to the railing taking it all in. As if that weren't enough, when the sun sets, the stars emerge, offering spectacular stargazing opportunities right from the deck. ๐ฎ THE LOFT: Tent beds, video games & board games galore. The Lookout Loft, situated above the living room, is a magical haven for kids and kids at heart. Twin beds designed like tents, an assortment of games, a telescope, and a Northern Lights projector cascading colorful ribbons overhead, all combine to create a whimsical atmosphere. Plus, enjoy the full-size Pac-Man arcade game! With so much to do in the loft, the million-dollar Colorado countryside views outside the window might just go unnoticed. ๐๏ธ PRIMARY BEDROOM: King bed & forest views for restful nights. The primary bedroom, located adjacent to the living room, features a brand-new king memory foam bed and blackout shades for exceptional comfort. Lie in bed as long as you like, soaking in the serene mountainscape and aspen grove visible through the windows. This bedroom also offers access to a soaking tub with mountain views, a shower, and a walk-in closet, which can be closed off from the toilet and dual vanity area accessed via another door from the living area. ๐ PRIMARY BATHROOM: Relaxing tub with Aspen views and spa vibes. The beautiful primary bathroom boasts a soaking tub with mountain views. It can be accessed from both the hallway off the living room and the main bedroom, designed to offer privacy and flexibility with a lock-off door separating the toilet and dual vanities from the soaking tub, shower, and walk-in closet. This setup is perfect for larger groups. ๐๏ธ Middle Bedroom: Cozy queen bed with alpine charm. This cozy bedroom with forest views features a brand new Queen memory foam bed, blackout shades, a ceiling fan, a closet, and excellent design. Like the other bedrooms, this one offers excellent privacy, thanks to its unique placement on a separate level. ๐ฟ MIDDLE BATHROOM: Full bath with everything you need. Next to the middle bedroom and half a flight of stairs from the lower bedroom, you'll find the home's second bathroom, which features a bath and shower combo. Each bathroom is fully stocked with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion. Just outside the bathroom, a linen closet is stocked with extra pillows, linens, towels, and other essentials to ensure a comfortable stay. ๐๏ธ LOWER BEDROOM: Secluded comfort with forest and pond views. Descend half a flight of stairs from the middle bedroom, and you'll reach the final bedroom, a spacious retreat with two windows and 12 ft. tall ceilings. One window provides views similar to those from the deck above, while the other overlooks the surrounding forest, offering ample natural light and privacy. This bedroom also features a queen memory foam mattress, blackout shades, and soft linens, providing ultimate relaxation for a restful stay. ๐ ๐ฎ GARAGE: Secure parking + bonus game space. Enjoy a variety of outdoor games: giant Connect 4, ladder golf, cornhole, giant Jenga, bocce ball, giant Yahtzee, giant Sorry, giant UNO, Viking Chess (Kubb), flickin' chickin', footballs, frisbee, and more! The garage features one parking space for small to medium SUVs or smaller. It will, unfortunately, not fit larger SUVs like a Tahoe. However, there is additional parking outside of the home. ๐งธ FOR KIDS We've taken extra care to make this home a great retreat for families. The home is equipped with children's dinnerware, a pack-n-play, high chair, baby monitor, blackout curtains, toys, games, PacMan, a telescope, kids' cave, books, and more! ๐ FOR HONEYMOONDERS & ELOPMENTS We host many honeymooners and elopements!
