There are three bedrooms thoughtfully designed in modern decor to give you a comfortable, beautiful place to rest at 9000 feet. A study in the center of the house provides a spot to work and use the 50mb internet. There are two bathrooms, one with a bathtub and one spacious in-suite master with a shower.

A fully stocked kitchen with new appliances, an island for cooking and hanging out, and of course - views - are set just off from the the dining area.

The large marble dining table with ample seating for 8 doubles as a ping pong table for indoor entertainment.

Furnishings from Royal Botania, Blu Dot, Design Within Reach, Restoration Hardware, and CB2 are mixed with vintage and handcrafted pieces by the owners, who are also woodworkers and art lovers.

Sticking to the upcycled theme of Stillwater, nearly all the furniture has been thoughtfully chosen, either upcycled or crafted using lumber we milled from the pine trees cut to clear the build site. All surrounding landscaping is native.

Great house for a vacation

My fiancé and I stayed at the container house for 3 nights. The house had a lot of amenities and was very comfortable. We saw lots of wildlife (including moose!), a great place to see the stars at night, and had good internet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Amazing mountain respite with modern comforts

We had an incredible, restful vacation in the beautiful Colorado mountains in this incredible new property with amazing amenities. Daniel and Jenny were amazing hosts who thought of every detail to make our trip memorable and stress free. We enjoyed the beautiful surroundings and the comfort of this elegantly designed home, with plenty of room for effective to spread out and enjoy. Highly recommend!

Mountains, lake, moose, peace

This is such a great place to come with family because there’s so much to see and do if you want action, but so calm and peaceful if you want to relax and soak up nature. You can hike to a nearby mountain, canoe or paddle board the lake, explore the state park nearby or relax in the hammock or in the living room with its gorgeous views. So comfortable and clean and well thought out. I’ll come again!

Perfect retreat!

My husband and I stayed here with our dog for a weekend getaway. We marveled at how gorgeous and perfect every aspect was. The views are spectacular and the inside is very stylish and modern. The furnishings were all super comfortable and welcoming. One of the best perks was the barrel sauna. The host was extremely helpful and accommodating. For being just 30-45 min from the front range, it felt like being much more remote and secluded in the mountains. We definitely plan to come back with a larger group as it seems ideal for kids as well!

Great remote location and cool house

This place is in a great location-remote and isolated but still near nice restaurants in Nederland and gambling action in Blackhawk. The site is on a lake with a cool rock formation and the neighboring houses are screened by trees. The house is a supercool container house that is decorated like an art gallery and fully furnished with cooking stuff and games,etc. great outdoor patio with fire pit and a sauna too. Highly recommend
