Description
Experience a true Colorado adventure with beautiful lake and mountain views from the kitchen, and cozy living room where family can gather by the fireplace.
Kayaks and paddleboards to enjoy the lake.
The deck has a great view of the lake with a large table with plenty of space - a perfect place for gathering, meals and a hangout spot where you can keep an eye on kids without going all the way down to the lake.
A hot tub, perfect for chilly nights or to relax after climbing the incline.
Big, spacious home with plenty of room for your friends and family to spread out and relax.
Perhaps a little unassuming from the front … you'll want to hurry around back upon arriving … where the Lake of the Rockies gleams like a jewel reflecting the face of Mt. Herman and the Rocky Mountain foothills just a mile or two distant. You'll immediately see the paddle-boards available for guest use on the stand in the back. The hot-tub might catch your eye too … but let's save that for later!
Back inside, you'll immediately be struck by the modern design—the luxury of this place. There is quality everywhere here, and an open floor plan with an exceptional amount of glass ensures that the Colorado sunset over the Lake and the mountains, or perhaps the views of the Ospreys hunting for trout above the surface of the water—won't be missed. There's a seamless transition in this home into the outdoor living spaces, with a stunning deck accessible both from the dining nook AND the master bedroom. The main living space is singular, and combines both kitchen, living and dining rooms for a modern social functionality that's hard to beat. People will naturally gravitate to the stone fireplace, the kitchen with its stone counters, and the walls of windows letting in so much natural light, and so much natural Colorado splendor.
The master bedroom offers king comfort and a voluminous private bath, along with walk-out access to the deck. The second bedroom on this main level offers king comfort, with an additional private bathroom. Downstairs on the lower-level is an entirely separate and independent entertainment space with fanciful, modern orange-leather furnishings, a separate kitchen and dining area, along with three bedrooms, plenty of bunks and doubles and 2 separate baths. There's also an additional walkout here, providing convenient access to the LAKE, the backyard and of course, the hot tub.
This home truly is special, and offers immense possibility (and capacity) in an exceptional environment. Please, browse our pictures, take a look at our virtual tour, ask us any questions and definitely book today!
True, Rocky Mountain lakeside brilliance—this spectacle of a home is located on a blue-jewel of a lake, surrounded by mountains and a warm, welcoming, historic town that offers exceptional dining and entertainment opportunities—all while being enshrouded by real Colorado outdoor recreational goodness.
The home itself is brand new, truly modern, open and bright. It offers space, modern luxury, outdoor living with a HOTTUB, kayaks and paddle-boards.
We'll let the pictures speak for themselves!
Family friendly home with keyless entry and fast Wi-Fi for business travelers.

Monument, Colorado is located just about 20 minutes north of Colorado Springs, and about 5 minutes north of the Air Force Academy. The town is historic, quaint, welcoming and absolutely charming. There are boutique shops lining the streets, exceptional, locally-owned restaurants, bars and cafes, along with all of the necessary grocery, drug and big retail stores close by to ensure comfort and ease during your stay. There are also Colorado craft beer & cocktail tasting rooms, for a unique, Colorado entertainment experience.
Monument is also known for its exceptional access to real outdoor goodness. Trails snake throughout the town and just outside of it there's great hiking, biking, off-roading and miles and miles of open-access National Forest land. There's also the Lake!
The neighborhood surrounding Lake of the Rockies is new, as this home is, but just a few blocks from "downtown" Monument allowing you to walk to shops and dining if you'd like. The lake itself presents an inviting blue spectacle surrounded by the mountains of the Rocky Mountain front range, including Mt. Herman, at 9,000 ft, just about 2 miles to the west. There's fishing here, and of course kayaking and paddle-boarding when the season's right—a resort feel, with a laid-back, Colorado authenticity that's hard to come by.
Combining exceptional access to the outdoors and of course, the LAKE, within walking distance to town, shops and restaurants, along with being so close to all the amenities and attractions for visitors and guests to Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region—this spectacular, lake-side home offers a perfect vacation rental experience!
Although there are exceptional entertainment, dining and recreational opportunities within walking distance to this vacation rental, we still recommend that you have a car or use Uber or Lyft when traveling in the Pikes Peak Region. We're happy to provide bus schedules and maps too if you'd like to use public transportation.

Beautiful but Noisy.
The house itself is nice - much larger than the pictures imply. The views from the back windows and and deck were beautiful...but...immediately between the house and the lake is the primary access road and parking for the public and there were muffler-less trucks and other large vehicles going back and forth from sun up til nearly midnight. The worst were from dark - midnight when groups would gather to drink, smoke pot, and hang out lakeside...right in front of the house. Additionally, the house was minimally supplied - no extra garbage bags or storage bags or other accessories commonly found in a VRBO. C

Modern home with scenic views
This property is modern, clean and is in a very good location. We would definitely stay here again. It accommodated our group of 13 very well. There was plenty of living space, kitchen and dining space, bathrooms and bedroom space. The home is in a newer suburban style residential neighborhood, and backs to monument lake. The lake and mountains are very picturesque from the back deck and windows. The lake is accessible to the public and was fairly active during our stay with people fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, etc. The lake is just a short walk across the gravel road/parking area. The paddle boards and kayaks provided with the home were a big hit with our kids. The home is close to good shopping and dining options. It is roughly 30-75 minutes drive to most of the area attractions such as Pike’s Peak, garden of the gods, the Royal Gorge, etc. Some recommendations for the owners to improve this already great property include: making sure that light bulbs are regularly replaced (we had 6 or 7 bulbs out), additional TVs in the main living area and bedrooms for down times, local news and weather, etc. (during our stay there was just one TV, which was located in the common area on the lower level), and a blind over the window next to the front porch. There is a small window next to the front porch that looks directly into the hallway and second upper level bedroom/bathroom area. We needed to close the bedroom door at night to prevent the bedroom from being directly visible to any potential person outside on the front porch. The house is located in a very safe area, but a small blind there would provide an additional feeling of security and privacy. Overall, we would definitely stay here again. J

Christmas in July
We had a great vacation with our kids and friends! This property was great place to hang out, have late breakfasts and suppers on the lake! All of the kids loved the paddle boards and the kayaks. The kids hung out in the basement at night while adults enjoyed hanging out on the back deck. Would have been nice to have a grill but fortunately we brought out our black stone. S
