The House of Glass
Casa de Cristal — Spanish for “House of Glass” — is a luxury modern mountain retreat perched atop Ram’s Horn Mountain at 8,500 feet. Named for its three-story floor-to-ceiling windows, the home offers panoramic Rocky Mountain views and merges contemporary elegance with the raw beauty of the Colorado Rockies.
Completely remodeled in late 2023 with modern luxury finishes throughout, this is our family’s personal home away from home — furnished with HiEnd Accents luxury linens from our own collection. Every detail, from the gourmet kitchen to the private hot tub under the stars, has been considered for your comfort.
The Experience
The defining feature of Casa de Cristal is its namesake glass walls, rising three stories to frame the Rocky Mountains like living art. Every room offers a different perspective — sunrise alpenglow in the master suite, starlit panoramas from the hot tub, and sweeping Continental Divide views from the deck.
Soak in the private hot tub beneath some of the darkest skies in Colorado. At 8,500 feet with minimal light pollution, the Milky Way stretches overhead in stunning detail. The home’s low-density surroundings make stargazing an unforgettable experience every clear night.
Warm up after a day on the trails in the spa-quality sauna with adjoining rainfall shower. Two seating levels let you choose your intensity, and splashing water on the hot rocks creates bursts of steam for an authentic Nordic-style experience.
A kitchen built for gathering — dual refrigerators, induction cooktop, nugget ice maker, and a fully stocked coffee station. Seat 10 at the dining table plus 8 at the bar for expansive group meals. Or let Sunrise Chefs handle everything with a private chef experience (10% guest discount).
The master suite is a sanctuary unto itself — a king bed dressed in HiEnd Accents luxury linens, a wood-burning fireplace, a soaking tub, and a private balcony where morning coffee comes with Rocky Mountain sunrises. The ensuite features designer finishes throughout.
Multiple decks wrapped in Adirondack chairs offer al fresco dining and 360-degree views of the Continental Divide. Watch elk graze in the meadow below, catch a crimson sunset over the peaks, or simply sit in silence with the mountains.
What Makes This Special
Walk directly from the Windcliff community off Eaglecliff Circle Drive to Lily Lake via a private trail — a hidden route that most visitors to Estes Park never discover. No parking lots, no crowds, just you and the mountains.
The low-density surroundings and high elevation make Casa de Cristal one of the best stargazing locations near Estes Park. On clear nights, the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye from the hot tub and decks.
Drive just 10 minutes to the entrances of RMNP. Hike Bear Lake, Emerald Lake, or drive the legendary Trail Ridge Road. You’re also 12 minutes from downtown Estes Park’s shops and restaurants, and 3 minutes from the YMCA of the Rockies.
Treat your group to a private chef experience without leaving the house. Our partnership with Sunrise Chefs gives Casa de Cristal guests a 10% discount on multi-course meals prepared in your own kitchen.
