Retreat to this gorgeous hand-hewn log home situated on over 6 acres of forest just outside of Glenwood Springs. Engulfed in aspen trees, yet with paved road access and only 15 minutes to Glenwood Springs and 10 minutes to Sunlight Ski Resort, this four bedroom, 3.5 bathroom cabin is the perfect place to vacation with friends and family any time of the year.
The space
Enjoy two gas fireplaces, three smart TV's, gourmet kitchen, decks off of each living space, and a spacious basement with wet bar and room for the whole group. Professionally designed with an east-meets-west vibe, this is the ideal home to watch local wildlife travel across the property after a day of skiing or exploring the beautiful valley surrounding you.
Enter into your completely private chalet and you will be instantly greeted with beautiful decor and a calming environment. On the main floor, kick your feet up in the sitting area in front large windows, enjoy cooking in your gourmet kitchen and dine at your expansive live-edge dining table. Relax after dinner in your living room - also boasting a gas fireplace - while listening to your favorite classic vinyl record. Each space in the house provides almost instant access to the outside through dedicated private decks. Off of the dining room, walk out onto the main deck: a spacious Trex paradise overlooking the beautiful valley below. This main floor also includes an office, entry room, two-car garage, and powder bathroom.
Travel downstairs to enjoy your large second living area with queen-sized bedroom, bathroom, wet bar, bathroom, gas fireplace, smart TV, large sectional, and deck space. On the top floor you will find your main living areas: master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and two guest bedrooms with attached lofts and shared bathroom. One guest room has a queen bed with stair access to a loft with twin-sized bed, the other has a double bed with the same loft bed setup. For safety purposes, the lofts are appropriate for older children as they are accessed by a ladder and the opening does not close. The upstairs also features a gorgeous breezeway above the main floor living area with a reading chair and game table - all with expansive views out of the floor-to-ceiling windows from the dining room below.
The Sun King Chalet is a refuge at any time of year. Only 10 minutes from world class skiing and 15 minutes from the restaurants, bars, and hot springs in the lively town of Glenwood Springs, you can enjoy a secluded vacation with access to all of the great amenities of the Roaring Fork Valley!
AMENITY LIMITATIONS: This space has limited cell service but fast wifi connection. A third gas fireplace in the main level sitting room is not functional.
