John Cleveland Osgood, a coal baron, resided at the nearby Redstone Castle and built the Crystal Farm in the 1890s to provide food for the inhabitants of the town of Redstone. This historical cottage served as the original ice house where ice was cut and stored for use by the town and the Redstone Castle.
The custom leather furnishings and rugs, antler chandeliers, unique mountain decor and wood burning stove create the perfect atmosphere for an amazing mountain getaway experience. The kitchen is fully equipped to prepare meals and the dining room, with a beautiful antler chandelier, offers great views of the estate and red mountain cliffs.
On the upper level, the bedroom features a comfortable queen bed and the tiny loft area accommodates 2 young children with two single mattresses on the loft floor. The loft is great for kids however due to the steep ladder access and low railing in the loft, this space is only suitable for children between 6-12 years of age.
The spacious bathroom is on the lower level and is equipped with an oversized bathtub, great for long soaks.
The swimming pool is located behind the main house and is ONLY open Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Both the tennis court and swimming pool are shared with owners of the estate.
