Meet the Family Behind Alpina Retreats
We’re Elizabeth & Jonathan, a husband-wife team based in Boulder. We absolutely love the Colorado high country. After years of hiking, skiing, cycling, running and more, we purchased and lovingly renovated two very different homes that capture the magic of each town:
- Casa de Cristal—our glass‑wrapped mountain sanctuary overlooking Rocky Mountain National Park; perfect for reunions, retreats, and epic sunsets.
- Cedars 42—a light‑filled townhome that lets you click into your skis 60 seconds after morning coffee and stroll to Breck’s Main Street by night.
Why we host
Share the wonder. We’ve forged countless family memories here and want yours to do the same.
Set a higher bar. As Superhosts/Premier Hosts with 200 + five‑star reviews, we sweat every detail—from luxury linens to local restaurant tips.
Stay connected. Unlike large property managers, you’ll deal directly with us or our small in‑town team (Casa de Cristal only) before, during, and after your stay.
Our promise
Immaculate, design‑forward
homes.
Quick, human responses (often within minutes) whether you need local recommendations or fresh powder intel.
Transparent pricing—no hidden “resort” or “administrative” fees.
Giving back
A portion of every booking supports the Summit County Rescue Group & the Larimer County Search and Rescue, helping preserve the alpine playground we all love.
From our family to yours—welcome to Alpina Retreats.
