The Family Behind the Homes

We're Elizabeth & Jonathan, and these are our homes away from home.

We spend our own holidays in both houses, and we've set them up the way we use them: the same linens, the same morning coffee, the trails we take our own guests on.

We look after every stay personally, with a great team on the ground to make sure everything runs smoothly. Ask us anything. We're happy to point you to the restaurant worth the drive, the trail worth the early wake-up, or the quiet spot most guests miss.

Morning coffee at an open door at Casa de Cristal, the Mummy Range beyond

Estes Park, Colorado

Casa de Cristal

A glass house on the shoulder of Ram's Horn Mountain, ten minutes from the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Floor-to-ceiling glass looks straight out at the Mummy Range.

Built for big groups and slow mornings. A sauna, a hot tub under the stars, a kitchen that can actually feed ten.

Cedars 42

True ski-in, ski-out on Peak 9. A hop and a skip from the garage to the Quicksilver lift. About five minutes on foot to Main Street when you want dinner without driving.

In summer the aspens come up around the deck and the whole place goes quiet. A garage full of gear in winter; a garage full of bikes in July.

Felt like royalty. Every morning we woke up to purple sunrises through glass walls. The attention to detail in every room is unmatched.
